I don't get the damaging art either; people will just hate you and associate your cause with destruction. The environmental movement does this a lot. I'll do their tangible asks: I walk/take public transit; I use reusable bags: what else do you want me to do? They'll still spraypaint and break glass all over the riverbanks. How is that environmentally friendly? Who wants to clean up their mess? Who is going to be forced to clean up their mess? And they don't get it that in the poorer neighborhoods, oftentime parks will get fenced up or the museum/library hours will be diminished because their actions are too costly. (and I worked in groups of these activists before, and I won't again). Green Peace destroying the Nazca lines and being all "oops" about it was a particular wtf. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/dec/10/peru-press-charges-greenpeace-nazca-lines-stunt No one likes you when you do this. And it's never clear what their asks are in these situations. Often, they aren't the oppressed group, so people will think "wow black people/Palestinians/etc act really chaotic" when no one in that demographic was even involved. So the oppressed group's reputation will never improve; meanwhile these destroyers can just jot down their "activism" on their resumes and move on with their lives. People associate positive actions with wanting to be around those things more, and have more positive thoughts and want to help.

We don't want you to change entirely, @TQR. We like you just the way you are.

Out of the question. My scoring would no longer be the most accurate representation of my opinion. I mean, I can't bear the music of Oasis, but Jesus Fannyfarting Christ, Dido??? I count a grand total of two songs in this godforsaken round less tolerable than White Flag, and one of those was Shane Richie. I know White Flag sold well but that has never mattered here; never in my wildest fucking cheese nightmares did I expect it to survive more than half the round. I promise, I'll be much nicer and much happier when the next round starts

That's very sweet of you, but I don't expect this post to garner a load of likes

new photo about Juan Vicente today, he looks very good for a man of 114.75

My former Labour MP Tommy McAvoy reportedly dead: Absolute fat waste of space who went to London and did nothing but write a column for the Rutherglen Reformer once a month. Very much typical of those Labour MPs who took their vote for granted.

Have you factored in that mine and Sir Creep’s goes will, as he is forever determined to ensure, be polar opposites? (before I ban him again, that is )

Directed Anybody's Nightmare starring Patricia Routledge about the Sheila Bowler case from the nineties. I was tempted to pick Bowler for my Oldies DDP team last year but iirc there were rumours she died off radar a few years ago so wasn't worth the risk.

Another Hitch-Hikers actor to pass away - the The Great Prophet Zarquon. RIP.

It's not definite with Coldplay, and Mis-Teeq are not much longer for this round. The wrong JT is first in the firing line, and the top-3 are utterly diabolical. The only consolation will be that none of what's left here will win the game

What an amateur. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has officers way older than that. I hope they don't waste space in the ground by burying her.

Sad news. Him and Lobinger finished 3rd and 4th at the 2006 world indoors and 3rd and 5th at the European outdoors in 2005.

German pole vaulter Fabian Schulze has died at 39: https://www.spiegel.de/sport/deutscher-stabhochspringer-fabian-schulze-mit-39-jahren-gestorben-a-2bc62b0d-53e8-441f-a487-7bdc92a2ec45 Dead of a "nasty disease" - unsepcified. The second big tragedy in german pole vaulting in the past months, after Tim Lobinger.

Just my luck! Thanks for the heads up Will! Praying to the Enema God for some Crumble good luck ASAP!

As well as hitting Denis Breakwell for six successive sixes (across consecutive overs).

More likely Trump will force them to split into two or more different companies.
