Stupid pair. And now a young lad with a life ahead of him is dead due to stupid choices and - quite possibly - the coddling of privilege. 🙄

And nothing of value would be lost.

Zero respect for the man anyway, but somehow went into negative numbers when he argued in court that he was torturing those families for the lulz & money. I could more understand actual irrationality and some sort of belief system.

Apparently so! Although I tend to look askance at mention of the culprit's relationship to some sort of sportsball when it gets prominant placing in the text too. (Although it tends to be more direct than grandbrat of sportsball guy.)

It'd also be very strange to report it as "person dies in [whatever victim was doing when got chainsawed] accident". The vehicle/chainsaw seems more relevent to the equation than the victim's occupation at the time.

It's possible the beautiful singing translated as something like "oy, ratbag! Do you know how smoky it is in 'ere? I damn near suffocated, I did, you lousy excuse for a cook!"

The blackbirds are vaguely cockney for some reason.

How rude.

I tend to think hoping earth gets hit by an asteroid when stupid-evil happens is a tad much - but an awful lot of people would improve the world by being hit by very precise asteroid fragments.

I have to admit, I'd be uncertain if it was the lady or the brassica up for the date from that picture.

That's a noble cabbage though.

I'd say that was only tried the once given the size of the oven the baker'd need. Even with blackbirds, the pie'd be pretty huge. Probably insufficient heat transfer, hence the birds still singing by the end of it.

Oh that's horrible. I'd assume it made some guess at "appropriate text" from angel 🙄 Although given how that gets used on FB, that could lead to some very awkward posts.

Honestly, fair. A cruise ship of pensioners wouldn't be worth the headache of anything but letting it through.

Daft lot. Oh well, keeping him out of mischief for a bit at least.

They could stand to be more imaginative about it at the very least. Some creativity.

Plus it removes Burkes from general circulation, so I see no downside here really.

Is that mad fecker still parked up by the school? I've rather lost track.

The first and most important step when using an oven is to preheat all the pans you store in there to 425.

Me normally: one very frustrating thing about being on the left is that a huge chunk of the movement is obsessed with defending the abusive, repressive monster that was the Soviet Union

Me after reading this article: gulag gulag GULAG FOR THIS FUCKER FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS

Gulag, but he also gets charged rent.

Honest to god, the absolute shitshow that is renting in this country. And the absolute shits on show renting them out.

It's nicely-flavoured sugar tbf.

Arson attack that resulted in a getaway on a tandem bike.

I'm not saying it'd be a *good* action movie.

THREE RUSSIAN OIL REFINERIES ARE BURNING AS FEW HAVE BEFORE

The Tuapse plant near the Black Sea has been set on fire after multiple drone strikes. The scene looked hellish last night. The skies were black above as vast swathes of flames burnt their way across what seemed to be the entire horizon.

For a third completely different interpretation, I'd understand it as being indecisive. 😆

Oddly enough, both the Irish Times and The Journal (also Irish) had it, I saw TJ one yesterday. I must admit I assumed so little talk about it was due to it being "a domestic" (& US).

Groan..

But lol.

As of about five minutes ago.

Look, I for one am glad that there's finally a critical shift in whether genociding people is bad, but for the love of god do we all have to be gaslit about how liberals were always against it after years of being yelled at by US liberals.

Now *this* is the more usual "US liberal" stance I've tended to see.

Obviously there's not much liberal about it, but it has been a common bit of gobshitery, mostly used to attack anyone mildly left of genociding people.

This is going to come as a shock to well-known conservatives Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg etc.

- in how these things are reported makes a difference. And ofc headlines and articles go for the ragebait, which isn't neccessarily fair on the people involved.

That perspective is also fair. I was a bit nrk at the bit I saw, the "I was driving" one, but then again, I *am* a bit prejudiced against influencers as a thing, esp ones that involve kids. I probably wouldn't have noticed "Influencer makes PSA after hitting toddler reversing", so the phrasing

I do understand that. It is very easy to discredit someone on the internet when it comes to online fundraising. The doubt will always be there once the accusation is made, rightly or wrongly. It only takes one dubious or potentially dubious recipient and all suffer for it.

(I actually made no claims one way or the other, you don't have to decide my beliefs for me, lol.)
