Pretty much. 

Also he took responsibility for the shootings, like a big boy. 

So this was a hate crime against women and not Asians? So he only hates 50% of the world’s population, not 59%. That’s.....better?

IME The Met have always worked explicitly and only for the UK’s Conservative Party. They have been pretty blatantly obvious about being their personal stormtroopers.

The police only work for themselves at this point.

This reads as a rude awakening for the certain type of white women who strenuously believed that the police work for them.

The question “Why won’t women just do what they’re told?” is always a nonironic one, but it’s the essence of the patriarchy. Women. And their agency. Ruining it for everyone! Or whatever.

It’s called “kettling”.  Its a tactic that seems more designed to cause panic and disorder in the protestor ranks and to give the Police a psychological advantage over the people.  We saw it being used here in the UK throughout the 80s and 90s.  

The prime minister of the uk  has promised to look into the case. Which gives me no confidence, as his attitude to women is utterly misogynistic. The plain fact is, the police lashed out because one of their own got caught. 

This “tactic” of surrounding or cornering groups of peaceful protestors seems to be one of the main ways police escalate situations. We saw it all through the BLM protests, the same has been going on in Myanmar with the protests against the coup there and now yet another example.

We’re the GOP: And we’re DONE with pretending we’re not openly racist!

Clean up: aisle 4.

I’m about to join the countless white people calling bullshit on blaming Diabetes.

The doctor who first diagnosed Diabetic Tourettes is being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine. 

I remember when a politician called me a girl. At the time, I was in my 30s, and I honestly had no idea what he was talking about. (My mom has this nasty habit too. I was telling her about a work problem, and she kept referring to my coworker as a girl. I had to remind my mom that the woman was in her 50s!)

“These Addams men! Where do you find them?”

The best part is the end where Debbit is describing how she murdered all her previous husbands via a slide show and the Addams all compliment and seem impressed by her, like she truly was one of them.

“....to youth, to passion, to paradise, to pain, tonight...”

“But, Debbie,... pastels?”

I just really enjoy the silence right now myself. Is Joe Biden my favorite candidate? Nope. Is he working his ass off in the background rather quietly getting a whole bunch of shit done to help try to bring us out of several disasters that were created by an inept and unintelligent charlatan? Yep.
