That hair. Fucking hell.
That hair. Fucking hell.
He looks like he should be serving in a vegan cafe.
I'd say serving vegans all day is a date worse than normal slavery.

Back to Scofield. I've found out there's some weirdos who think he's part of some child grooming conspiracy.
I was innocently browsing Twitter when this article popped up
I disagreed with the basic premise in the lede saying that Phil hadn't recevied the criticism that this other person I haven't heard of did so was intrigued to see the replies. Where I see this tweet
Intrigued by this (and because his avatar/display name combo was a giveaway that there'd be some proper gammon stuff to laugh at) where I find this
Some people are such weirdos.
In other news while I was looking through Gammonland via Keith's TL I learned of the existence of Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union to fight the Maoist Climate of Intolerance' which is very funny.
I was a bit confused by that Jameela Jamil 'coming out' statement. Surely you have to put that sort of thing into action before qualifying for the status? You can't just say you've felt it but I'm happy with my boyfriend thanks. Then again, she does seem like a bit of a dickhead.
To answer the question posed earlier, yes it's cold. Taz should be wearing a coat.
Don's don't need coats.
He looks like a beta version of Mert.
I'm a twit

It's just getting sadder now.
In that second picture he looks like an off-brand Jeremy Renner.
Or Josh Homme, maybe.
Came up with it in the pub did he? Sure it wasn't when multiple other people did very similar things.
Don't really know where to put this as I can't be arsed cropping and uploading the image for the funny pictures thread but my mate's found a flyer on the landing outside his flat that on one side says:
With contact details. I'm assuming the distributor has received a lot of "What are you trying to lure me into?" responses previously because this flyer also has a separately-printed sticker on the back that says:DO YOU LIKE SINGING,
AND GOING TO BENIDORM A LOT?
MEN AGED 40 TO 60 WANTED FOR
A 1950'S DOO WOP GROUP
THIS ADVERT IS NEITHER AIMED SOLELY
AT GAY MEN OR STRAIGHT MEN,BUT,
SOLELY AT MEN WHO LOVE SINGING
AND LOVE BENIDORM IN EQUAL MEASURE
What if my love for Benidorm outstrips my love of singing? I feel unfairly excluded from this.
Then you can FUCK OFF and get your own flights to Benidorm.
Just imagine the sort of grasping, desperate women you'd get responding to that kind of thing. They'll be perfect for each other.
I might have to do it, those women sound perfect for me.

The war between graffiti and street art never ends.
An honourary 'Get a Grip Mate' award to the man describing that as 'devastation'. Top melodrama from you sir.
Banksy is so fucking shit
Obviously his messages are a bit subtle for you.
Wahey. See you in 2025.

This ex-post-facto posturing is pretty good from Xi. It either means were absolutely fucked, or theyve turned the tide.

He's become a bot and he's not even the best bot we have.
AI is a hell of a drug.
Does that link work for anyone else?
It works for me until the stupid New York Times headline font appears and then I have to close it.
Edited with the actual link.
I forgot Apple had went all Google with their news.
Toby Young crying that 'the snowflakes have won' because 'Andrew Sabisky, suggested black Americans have a lower average IQ than white citizens and labelled public outcry over female genital mutilation a 'moral panic'. Mr Sabisky also said that 'women's sport is more comparable to the Paralympics than it is to men's' and reportedly advocated legally enforcing the uptake of contraception to stop unplanned pregnancies 'creating a permanent underclass'.' has been asked to resign. Incredible. I genuinely think that anyone who uses the words 'free speech' don't understand the concept.
Imagine the fallout if Lewis ever gets on the spag gravy train.
I have no idea who this guy is, or how much of a nutter he is or isn't, but doesn't his suitability to 'be in government' depend what he's in there doing? If he's a dab hand at IT systems and that's what he's doing does it matter that he's also a massive bigot?
He's a policy advisor so I think the bigotry might be the issue.
Also, if you look at how tech works, having a bigot in charge is quite the issue.
If he has expertise in a field unrelated to whatever he's posted on internet forums x years ago then I don't think that should necessarily preclude him, otherwise do you not just end up with vanilla nitwits who never put a foot out of line, but have basically no actual skills (ie the civil service)? I assume it's just Cummings trolling anyway. He's probably gone back and found these posts for everyone to get outraged about.
What policy field won't be affected by thinking the average black person has a double digit IQ? I'm not saying that he would be putting that front and center of every idea he had but I think about it in the sense that those movement/light detector based things have a larger fail rate when used by a black person than white. There's consequences to all decisions.
As far as I can tell he stands accused of making some indefensible comments to that effect 6 years ago (2014) and making what appears to be a utilitarian argument about 'cognitive enhancers' two years later. Now, fair enough, if he's still bowling around saying or thinking those 2014 things now then that's a problem, but if he isn't then is it still a massive problem? People say or think stupid things all the time, I' not sure it should be a permanent bar to any form of public office.
Quick thought experiment: How recently could he have said/thought these things and it not be an issue, because by the tone of 'indefensible' you seem to recognise they're bad. 6 months? 2 years?
6 years?
It depends if these are still his views (or if they ever were). It's obviously easier to accept that they aren't (if he says they aren't) given a longer span of time between the point of judgment and the point of offence. So maybe 2 weeks would be pushing it. If he's still bowling around believing in racial/genetic/class purity or whatever then have at him by all means. Unless he's a drains policy specialist, in which case just leave him to plan the sewers and make sure he's not racist about them.
