i has none.
been on maximum alert for weeks.
and i’m spent.
If I had the opportunity to squeeze Nigella Lawson, her throat wouldn’t be my first choice.
Nick Griffin,
proving he’s a total waste of atoms.
someone on fb has re-posted an image and link to you youtube clip proclaiming RIP NELSON MANDELA.
i pointed out he isn’t dead, in fact over the last few days, he has been responding better to treatments and seems to be recovering.
really, they said. they hadn’t checked the news.
See, this bugs me.
How long would it have taken to google Mandela. a matter of seconds.
I don’t see how someone can say to care so much about someone like Nelson Mandela when they will blindly click something false instead of checking - when it comes to their actual life.
It’s not just this instance and this person,
the amount of people on fb who do this - blithely clicking something without a moment of thought or checking.
Despite the fact that all the world of information is available as never before with the internet, an yet people are so ill informed and ignorant and still reactionary with their responses.
having a conversation with a friend in Leipzig in German.
int google translate handy?
Blackadder!!
and probably my favourite episode!
the baby eating bishop of bath and welles!!
“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.
Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”
This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”
This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”
this is why performance art is important
So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.
I want you to think about what you said.
What you keep saying.
What you are telling your children.
You are making them powerless.
that last comment. actually crying.
reblogging again for the comments.

just read a review that said Man Of Steel is “the future of cinema”.
seriously, i damn near pissed my kidneys out laughing.
how do people with such staggeringly limited views get paid work as critics?
It’s like someone who only eats at McDonalds saying a new promo offer burger is the future of food.
I ask if he is familiar with psychological studies that have tested heterosexual men’s response to gay pornography. As I explain to him that electrodes attached to the penis measure sexual arousal, the temperature in the room plummets. The funny thing is, I go on, heterosexual men with relaxed attitudes to homosexuals are unmoved by gay porn – whereas those hostile to homosexuals exhibit sexual arousal. Why does he think that might be? By now Tebbit is looking ill, and his wife has turned white.

It wouldn’t be so bad if there were some way that the British people who could be doing the jobs, but aren’t, would disappear,

travel and security costs for G8 conference
The estimated cost of flying them to the Lough Erne heli-pads outside Enniskillen is reckoned to be around three million according to security sources in the province. However, to secure the roads and block off every junction with police will cost up to £10 million. The likes of David Cameron and the Chief Constable Matt Baggott will be praying for a break in the weather before Monday.
Britain is definitely bankrupt then?
Certainly morally.
