I hope they do.

A FB page compares policemen to SS "we only followed the orders". Not that the cops are the ones attacking "non French" or gay people, but heh.


Policemen want to sue (which isn't common in our culture). The people owning the page deny posting it.

A building basically in front of my home has been evacuated and closed.

Bit of a surprise given the make-up of the court these days, but the US Supreme Court denied an appeal request by Louisiana and Kansas to over-turn a ruling that barred them from cutting Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.

Do the police have any basis to sue? I'm not an expert on French law of course.

I'm not terribly surprised. Kavanaugh has been quoted in the past as saying he considered RvW to be settled law; dissenting openly in an actual case would force him to either repudiate or reiterate those opinions, but supporting a simple decision not to hear the case at all lets him dodge the issue entirely.

So PewDiePie has done some more Neo Nazi stuff, promoting a Neo Nazi video this time amidst every youtuber trying to get everyone to sub to PewDiePie and linking to him since an Indian company may surpass his sub count and they don't want that to happen. This comes after PewDiePie has done quite a lot of other things like using the N word, paying someone to write "Death To All Jews."

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/15/youtube-pewdiepie-thinks-death-to-all-jews-joke-laughing-yet

PewDiePie did take a Neo Nazi turn at a point, though to be fair his earliest work was mainly rape jokes. Culminating in his now deleted video "It's Raping Time." So it's not like he just suddenly started saying and doing awful things.

It's a good thing they stopped her. That is also kind of spooky, this is another case where I've seen her before. Her tumblr specifically. There are quite a lot of tumblrs like that. Such things were a part of the controversy over the tumblr purge because adult content is going but Neo Nazi tumblrs aren't and you can still search tons of well known neo nazi phrases and get results for neo nazi tumblrs with tons of conspiracy theories and things, despite being unable to find a lot of LGBTQIA+ tags or adult content, as well as certain stuff related to disability.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/10/nypd-video-officers-wrench-baby-from-mothers-arms

So in New York a woman was holding her child in a waiting room that had no available seats. She was ordered by security to stand but refused to stand and wait the whole time. This led to police eventually coming and her being arrested. She wouldn't let go of her child, so they ripped her child violently from her arms. Bystanders were so appalled by it all they were almost ready to intervene to save the mother and child. Police threatened to tase them if anyone gets close. There is now an NYPD investigation into the officers who did this which was all recorded on video. The mother is currently locked up in Riker's Island.

Indeed. I saw an interesting tumblr post analyzing this and putting out an interesting theory that Tumblr is keeping extremist groups on its site so that they can be given targeted advertising, and played against one another to make tumblr look like a useful tool for them. Its kind of hard to argue its not true.

In this case I say the cops and the security are completely at fault here. Excessive force and police brutality. And I say this as someone normally very pro police.

A lot of companies do that, twitter has done this a lot as well. Since extremists are a big part of people who use twitter. So angering them or getting rid of them will reduce numbers greatly. They mostly just focus on getting rid of Muslim extremists. Jack himself follows a lot of Neo Nazis on twitter. People were also digging up old tweets of his after his recent going to a genocidal dictatorship meditation trip, such as when he tweeted about doing blackface for halloween or about how weird it was sitting next to a "transvestite" on a plane. Those are from like a decade ago. A lot in tech sectors and people who make a lot of sites have sympathies to people like that. Certain ones don't and usually those ones are much stricter about extremists because of it. A tech example would be Discord is used by lots of Neo Nazis but when Discord finds them it really heavily destroys any of their communities.

Voyager 2 has now left the solar system.

QuoteThe Voyager project manager, Suzanne Dodd told BBC News that she would like to see them both keep going until 2027.

"It would be super-exciting to have a 50-year mission still operating," she added, describing the probes as "pioneers" of interstellar space.

"Every so often they phone home and say - 'I'm still going. Don't forget about me!'"

Maybe it is because I am emotional today but that actually put a tear in my eye.

So this is gunna be big if it ever goes anywhere. Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi sues Mueller, Justice, CIA, FBI, NSA for $350 million over claims that they blackmailed him into lying about Trump.

Probably not gunna go anywhere to be honest, but still. Big if true.

QuoteThe conservative writer and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi filed a lawsuit on Sunday...
QuoteCorsi, 72, the former Washington bureau chief of the conspiracy website InfoWars,...

He is claiming that a plea deal offered by Mueller means Mueller wanted him to lie about his knowledge of the hack of Podesta's emails and the Wikileaks dump.  Not too mention, if he was truly only after integrity in this investigation he wouldn't be seeking 350 MILLION in so called damages.

This cretin is scum of the earth.  He peddles in, and makes it his business to spread disinformation. All he is trying to do is protect 45.

Ew. Yea that does damage his credibility with me.

Funny enough I saw Roger Stone on that site too. He was crying about being 'censored' and he just so happened to fail to mention that he got banned from Twitter in the first place for a long list of ridiculously racist comments on it.

He then went on to shamelessly push Brainforce.

Isn't Roger Stone Trump's old mentor from the New York real estate market? The one who taught young Donny to brag and lie to the media, and to sue the sh*t out of anyone who dared to question his company practices?

So now we have the red scarves (officially 25000), who either oppose the yellow gilets, or violence/blockades.
They don't mention the "pink skirts", women who want more respect and more emphasis on traditionally womanly rights (being a SAHM, possibly a wage for them as the Front National promised…).

So protesting the protesters for harming their livelihoods while the original protesters protest the government for harming their livelihoods? I dunno what the red scarves are gunna do if they oppose violence. The yellow jackets have been very good at using that to get what they want.

If the yellow jackets' sheer aggressiveness have gotten the French government to concede to terms, I dunno what the red scarves could ever hope to accomplish. It seems like a step back.

Red scarves don't want the Gilets Jaunes to behave like a militia or worse. They also don't want to lose their job because their boss' shop was burned to the ground or because they are unable to go to work. Not that they can do much. A friend mentioned she'll do the pink skirt thing and she wants me to do it with her lol. I do own a pink and black kilt as well as a pink and purple skirt, but I really don't want to be involved in anything. TOO WEIRD.





I'm not sure I believe in a secret liquid weapon that neutralises you through your mask. I certainly don't believe in calling France a dictatorship, Stalin or Mengele.
Also I don't think Macron's new changes are that big at all especially in the whole scheme of things.

Well, sometimes you gotta break a few eggs to bake a cake, especially if a lot of other folks think Macron did not do much at all either. It sounds like the red scarves want everything for nothing, or were not really that effected by the gas tax at all.

What were the pink skirts again?

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/12/11/father-ted-graham-linehan-trans-nazis/

Graham Linehan, creator of Father Ted and the IT Crowd has for a while now been incredibly against trans people vocally on twitter. Deadnaming them, misgendering them, doxxing them, organizing reporting campaigns to get them banned. He openly on the radio has now compared us trans people to the Nazis(Despite the fact that we were targeted during the Holocaust). And is upset that any LGBTQIA+ org would be against his belief that trans women are men and various other things he's voice out of ignorance and hatred. If you have watched the IT Crowd it shouldn't be too surprising given the episode about trans women really being men and the joke about beating them like being fighting a man.

Mechelle

Yes, it's not new news, but as someone who did enjoy Father Ted very much, Linehan has been really disappointing. Oddly, somebody suggested I should watch the IT Crowd, which I have never seen, last week, before getting subjected to my opinion of its writer.
