- How do you counter-protest those calling for less police brutality, less deaths of black people to them?
Get a bunch of white guys to wear hoodies saying "I can breathe", apparently. Seriously, what the fuck? How do they think that makes any kind of point bar privilege?

- Understanding is a three edged sword: Part one
MPs don't turn up to help people but do to help themselves? A rebuttal to a meme. Have been meaning to post this for a while, but seeing a rebuttal to this rebuttal reminded me.
- Understanding is a three edged sword: Part two
The rebuttal to the rebuttal. "Understanding is a three edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth." But who knows the truth, in a matter of opinion, perception, and presentation.

- The Satanic Children's BIG BOOK of activities
Link is to a PDF. A Florida county let Christian organisations distribute action books in schools. So they have to let other religions do so too. And The Satanic Temple (who've also erected a statue to Baphomet near a Ten Commandments momument in some US park), put together a fun activity book!

- Cameron, Clegg and Miliband to make emergency visit to Scotland
It deeply irritates me that Miliband feels the need to tell people that he's not *travelling* with Cameron. All three are going up to Scotland, agreeing to miss PMQs, and all are working to the same aim there. But gods forbid anyone worry they might be liftsharing.

'*Tasers you* *steals your shoes* SHOULDN’T WEAR SHOES BRO' Well put. It's theft. But because its of women, and because there's a sexual/titillation element, the victim blaming suddenly appears.
