In the news

Edited, as they've explained what they meant.

"If I was putting out a video denying criminal behaviour, I would do as many takes as it took to make sure there didn’t have to be an obvious edit before the word “consensual” "

I can see why a teenager would want a dog for protection

If you read the piece he's actually 26! But proves your point all the more, he does look like the classic person who wants a dog like that for protection.

I noticed that too

The frequency of prison rape fantasies is damn bizarre

I genuinely meant getting a bloody good hiding. Nothing more. As a woman, and a human, I have zero interest in rape as a form of humour, ‘justice’ or anything else.

Fair enough.

I understand how it looked like I was saying that though. Appreciate the pull-up.🩷

The voices of reason prevail, thank the deities!

I would happily see him locked up to avoid anyone having to put up with his unfunny, sneering shtick.

This place and criterion ices were basically my childhood.

The Brand affair is truly depressing. Men failing up to quote Jess Phillips.

As a human I have zero interest in a corporal punishment as a form of justice, administered by the state or otherwise.

I respect that. I have zero issue with a rapist being punched in the face.

Your comment is even more depressing.

Criterion ices in Sydenham, now you’re talking! Used to walk there with my grandparents. I worked at the camera shop at the top of the hill for a while.

I worked in the factory at the back making the ice cream as a teenager in the nineties. I can still smell the ammonia from the refrigeration unit.

Jim the son is still running the business but i think it merged with a dairy farm in the noughties.

Tony Valenti took me and my brother round the back to see the ice cream machines once. You were probably the bloke working out the back!

Was it basically what was in the article linked up thread?

Yes. The essential detail is all there.

The Savile link is just depressing. Two monsters hiding in plain sight, talking to each other on air and not even in code. But hey, bantz.

V. sad news:

Libyan flood has caused biblical devastation, over 11k dead and 10k still missing. Tens of thousands displaced in a country partly controlled by warlords.

In other news, russell I’d say is fucked but he’s known for years this was coming and built that following of Jordan Peterson people who don’t believe mainstream media and it’s a rouse to take them down.

Interesting, hadn't thought of that. He vanished from the "mainstream" so clearly, UK TV/Radio and Hollywood decided he had no place any more then he built this bullshit wellness/spirituality/conspiracy/far-right-adjacent podcast/yt career.

He popped up on IG the other day in a paid partnership with Vivo Barefoot shoes. Apparently the owner of Vivo is also a Covid denier. What is it with these Granola Wellness types and their right wing views?

Edit: I can't find any info on the owner of Vivo having any views one way or another, that was just mentioned in the comments of the IG post

Something something, David foster Wallace, something

Listened to the this the other week, and suggested alternative medicines/supplements/biohacks can lead to a distrust in the medical profession (or come from a distrust), then COVID happened, policy driven by the medical profession tied in to government. You get to conspiracy theory pretty quickly. That was part of it, may have not remembered exactly.

No that makes sense...
