In the news

Quite possibly, but we're not talking about you.

No. Correct.

85 isn’t that big of a deal for some.
My grandad is still farming full time at 87 and caring for his wife with dementia.. No sign of him slowing down yet(in general our family are pretty long lived tho if the booze doesn’t take them early) so it’s really hard to say what constitutes a ‘good age’ as it’s different for everyone. I know lads in the 20s in worse shape than gramps.

Still, a probably avoidable tragedy and the effect on the family must be pretty intense given the circumstances.

Too little too late IMHO.

Yep, about 3 months late.

Carrie Lam accuses HK opposition's primaries of being acts of subversion. At the very least, HKGov will likely follow this up by disqualifying the opposition candidates, arrests/detention a possibility.

Genuine opposition is now treason.

If I agreed with you, I could get arrested.

Beijing has now followed up the statemant which normally means action. It shows how scared they are of the upcoming elections. They are just getting rid of the opposition.

To you, @Ramsaye and any other people please be careful. Can the authorities see what you post here? (I am an technological idiot so don’t know)

Christ the comments on that are something else

Scary stuff on the Krakow-Dublin flight, someone put a note in the shitter saying there's a bomb on board, two men aged 47 and 26 in custody:

I wonder if they were Poles? Not the best way to protest the election.

I particularly like this specimen:

One thing which very few seem to have thought of - how is a shop supposed to identify shoplifters or robbers on CCTV if half of their face is covered? I bet such people can't wait for this diktat to kick in.

I think they can but nothing untoward in this so far, but the NSL is so vague who knows.

If I was the finder of that note I would still make sure I had a good shit before reporting it. Rather die with empty bowels than live on, only to spend the next 15 hours jamming my sphincter shut while we waited for the unscheduled landing, the hostage negotiators, the SWAT teams etc.

Probably wouldn't have had much choice after reading the note.

white supremacist killed by the state.

Really? Why?
Edited following OP edit

white supremacist

From what I read, its more accurate to describe him as a former white supremacist. And not just because he's dead.

yeah wasn't in the mood for the liberal pearl clutching.

not sad tho. that AWB tat tells a story.

The article above describes him as a one-time white supremacist...

Use of the word technological was superfluous.

Good point

You knew that, of course, and wrote 'an' to link with 'idiot' directly. :)
