I love this. I will be using it as a punchline with my nerdy friends.

Close Cooperation with eachother. The USA can no longer be seen as a reliable partner with its wild ideological swings and a lack of strong commitment to the cause.

Make or break for a strong European State.

From a UK perspective we're absolutely fucked due to Brexit. USA is unreliable, detached from the EU, what's left? BRICS? Lol.

Shit.

Sigh. It's obvious what Trump was doing here.

He making a play to regain the childless cat lady vote.

Why Landlords never seem to take into account that rises in property/land value also equal profit has always been a mystery to me.

It's fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.

Another Brit here, yes cops do get punished in high profile cases with video evidence such as this.

The contradictory examples listed above were quite complex cases from what I remember.

That said, as a teenager a friend of mine was beaten up in a police van in a case of mistaken identity. He was advised by his lawyer to drop the case as there was little chance of proving what happened as the police had smashed up his phone which he had been recording them with.

Due to the context of police officers being injured prior to what's shown on tape. I expect in this instance, the cop to get a lenient pushiment.

I might get downvoted to oblivion, but I'm open to discussion.

Firstly, having read the full article... IF (big if) she's telling the truth and it wasn't even her then its hard not to feel sympathy for her.

Secondly (more controversially), is a picture of a noose racist? I mean, it certainly has racist connotations and I personally wouldn't have used it, but (bear with me) I'm not sure racist is the concrete conclusion. Lots of people have been hung throughout history, if you're not viewing it through a racial lens then are you a racist or just very insensitive.

What about if it was a picture of a mastiff? Or a police officer? Both these things could symbolise the subjugation of slaves. Are we really gonna ban pictures of dogs or police?

Symbols mean different things to different people. Sometimes people just need to be told they've been insensitive and given the chance to apologise with promise of doing better in the future.

There is a scenario where whoever put that up was not invoking the lynchings of black people specifically.

Just my 2c.

It's from an episode of Pingu. I only know this because it terrified me as a child and still haunts my nightmares as I approach my 40s.

Arteta: Team are jumping. Me: Can someone remind Raya how to do that properly.

Organising nones is like herding cats. The evangelicals do not get their power from their number. They vote uniformly and reliably, turning out for every primary, local, and federal election.

We are a diverse bunch with diverse opinions.

Still pissed off at the non penalty. Was it a clear penalty? No. Was it an obvious error? No.

Reminded me of the David Luiz pen/red 2 years ago against Wolves that cost us fourth. That penalty stood with even less contact, and a more obvious dive. The bullshit gaslighting afterwards from MOTD, too!

Part of me wonders what a Greta Gerwig - Oppenhiemer and/or Christipher Nolan's - Barbie would look like.
