It does rain a lot in the U.K.. maybe not so sad.

Interesting. The UHC CEO shooter left messages on the bullets: Deny, Defend, Depose
It is a reference to the book Delay, Deny, Defend about how the insurance industry fucks its customers.
That only narrows down the list of potential suspects to several million.

YMCA has never been gay, says the song’s lyricist and singer
A bit late mate.
Earning millions of MAGAs is behind this right?

Is £10m base a year kind of low for that role? Certainly a tiny fraction of that would be life changing for me but it’s about the average NBA/LFGSS watch thread contributor salary. Would have thought he’d be on more.

Yeah, sorry, was a question.

as a nation we share a nefarious and inexplicable notion that ‘entertainment’ consists of giving a platform to a relatively unbroken and unvarying parade of child abusers and sexual predators. I assume there must be some point of relatability. perhaps, without ever being specific or too questioning about the implications, there is something about these ‘stars’’ performance of paternalistic command and breezy insouciance that is attractive to audiences. Another thought is that these avatars for a way of being that is generally a bit more sensuous and pleasure-orientated - frankly, thinking of huw edwards’ sarcastic upper lip, camp - another thought is that these figures compensate for our own repression and terse grimness.
ergo i blame the reformation. had we kept catholic we would have been able to exorcise these repressions in more healthy cultural activity (saving, of course, for actual people within the church). -

That CEO getting shot is making the internet seem fun again. So many entertaining little rabbit holes. Like, you read down to the 9th comment below the original post and the jokes are still good.

U OK hon?
as a nation we share a nefarious and inexplicable notion
Social dynamics aren't created, they emerge from the accumulated interactions of lots of people doing smaller things with motives that can have nothing to do with the final result of how the larger emergent system behaves. People don't admire celebrities so that they can abuse. TV executives don't emply them so they can abuse. Nobody at the BBC saw Jimmy Saville and thought "Ah, there are some young girls and corpses that need fiddling with; he looks like just the man." When the flaws of a system become clearer, assigning dark motives to everybody around you is easy misanthropy and a rabbit hole that leads in the direction of Qanon and such.

Ooops
I have to confess that I was the NR Quality Manager on the project that installed this system nation-wide 15 years ago. This sounds like a software fault rather than hardware, so not me.
