His hand swelled and to prevent life-threatening blood clots, he had to be unglued and hospitalized. But he will continue to hunger strike. But complained about not being able to order food while glued. Okay.
I just love how the Germans just don't give a fuck. "Reduce carbon footprint? Fine... we'll start with you." I really can't stop giggling about the whole thing... the more they posted, the funnier it got. It's almost an SNL skit... but funnier.
I also saw a video recently of some French cops not giving a fuck about protesters who glued themselves to a road... they just went along and yanked their hands up off the pavement... leaving behind layers of skin. "Don't care, you're arrested." Again... funny.
I can't wrap my head around the entitlement of expecting the company you're protesting to not only tolerate, but actively accommodate your protest.
For people who claim to be scientists, how the fuck could they plan this shallow? Also on the bright side, at least it isn’t in a Starbucks this time. How exactly did that place become the public forum to obnoxiously trumpet your concerns?
We have this weird cultural idea that scientists are inherently intelligent. For the vast majority of them, it just means that they're capable of doing tedious, repetitive work for long periods of time and writing down what happens. Then the smart ones tend to get promoted to administrative positions where they aren't actually doing science anymore. Take a look at the guy's Google Scholar page. The "science" he does is interpreting survey results to match his existing narrative and pontificating on how globalism and social justice is the correct approach for solving a given issue. His most recent article is a particularly brilliant observation that people who caught COVID cared more about it as an issue than people who didn't.
During DC's annual fall climate protests a few years ago, protestors tried to blocking streets by by placing vehicles with protestors chained to them in the middle of the streets. A protestor chained herself to the top of a van...that the police promptly towed away. Meanwhile, her fellow protestors (who where standing/laying in the middle of the streets during morning rush traffic) shouting how unsafe it was to tow the van with her still on it.
I would gladly give them a shit bowl and then watch them try to take dump in it with one hand glued to the floor.
Did something interesting happen today? The high point from yesterday was the music video he made that had the car in it where he was waving a MAC-10 around and rapping about killing people. The state showed a screenshot showing the car he drove through the parade with Brooks facing away from the camera. On cross examination, Brooks asked how they knew that person was him. The detective said that he saw his face in other parts of the video. Brooks said that they couldn't prove it because they only showed the one screenshot, so the state played the whole video for the jury on re-direct.
he threw a massive yelling at the judge which prompted her to excuse the jury and shut off the mics for about 10 mins. Every witness he's called today has just ripped him. Currently his ex-GF is on the stand, the one he beat the shit out of before he mowed over everyone.
Here is the video. I think my favorite part is that I can't tell if his friend is actually mentally handicapped or he just thinks that the faces he's making look cool. Brooks is wearing electric shock anklets in court in lieu of manacles, and every time the bailiff behind him is visible, you can see on the man's face how badly he wants an excuse to press that button.
That was like reading a headache. So what, he majored in university at Doing Your Own Research? There’s a degree for that now?
