A massive police training facility, next to black neighbourhoods, in Atlanta, home of the black vans and disappearances. It sounds like something is very wrong in Atlanta.

The first amendment has never been absolute. The classic example, from when theatres were highly flammable, difficult to escape fire hazards, was shouting “Fire!” in a theatre (when there wasn’t one), inciting a panicked crowd to rush the exits and causing injuries and death.

As a white Australian, this resonates with me. Especially with the bit about Canada’s First Nations. As I’ve said here before, Australian First Nations people are in the same boat as the Canadian First Nations, except without even a formal treaty - broken or not (doctrine of terra nullius).

It is bad. The pure brutality and stupidity of the assault, that’s bad enough. The completely unjustified nature of the assault, that’s bad too. But hearing an essentially dying man calling out for his mother in his last conscious moments - that’s unbearable.

The Wikipedia page on her is a good start. Thank you for informing me about this amazing woman.

Fun Fact - English Bulldogs often need ceasarians, due to the large heads and narrow hips. They are the most deformed, unhealthy breed of dog.

Agreed. I feel gross and complicit from checking the link. I did to compare what was reported vs what the video showed, but the only way to do that was to read teh article and watch the video - which showed Britney being clearly distressed by the selfish scum filming her, and trying to hide her face from them with the…

Having just finished the audiobook version of Prince Harry’s book “Spare”, I can say with complete confidence that you’ve been sucked in by the tabloids and paparazzi. Not to mention incredibly rude and selfish fellow diners, who appear to have chosen to act like papparazzi. The real story, it seems, is that intense…

Vile, vile man.

He has said that he tried, repeatedly, to do so, but anytime he tried to discuss doing this with his family/The Palace, news of the discussions mysteriously leaked to the press.
