I just did a DDG search for "Shannon". I see nothing but women in the images.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
In other news NYU students should go to Duke to pass this Organic Chem class.
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2022/10/03/ ... ss-n500663
Organic Chem teacher let go because too many dipshits couldn't pass his class.
My comment about Duke pertains to a similar situation at the U of M. In order to get into pharmacy school at UM, you needed to pass Biochemistry 380. I knew a girl who failed the class twice before she took the equivalent at Duke and got a A over the summer before returning for fall class. . She was hot, so it was okay.

This story has been getting around a lot and seems to be a lot of bad takes. I think it's interesting that some people think a guy that has been doing this a long time just suddenly forgot how to teach and decided to torment students for fun and that it's not his student that are the problem.
And I might have to hand in my conk card here but when you treat higher ed as a business instead of a public good you get this race to the bottom of declining standards. When students become customers instead of pupils they act like it.
Also, I can't remember if NYU is one of the schools that decided to stop using SAT in admissions, but it's also a reason why we need "racist" standardized tests to prevent grade inflation.

If it's wrong to idolize confederate heroes shouldn't it also be wrong to idolize British royalty?

The current ones or the ones 200+ years ago like George III? William and Catherine haven't really tried to tax us without our representation nor have they put 32,000 troops in New York Harbor.

Cunt is a good word to describe Hillary with.
For Trump I suggest "The Imbecile Jester".

I don't know. Trading Megan and Harry for 32k in British troops sounds like a fair deal.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
The roving motorbikes in Philly has been a growing trend over the past 4-5 years. You do see groups of people massing on motorcycles, ATV's, even those little pocket rocket motorbikes that aren't street-legal, and then they just move as a pack throughout the streets. They don't follow any traffic laws, ride wherever they want, and they're in such large numbers (back when I saw them they were more like 30-80 people) that cops really can't do anything about it. Since they're all motorized, one or two cop cars can't possibly deal with 50+ people on motorized vehicles. On the whole, at least in the past, these groups would just rove around the city. I think the issue with them damaging property, assaulting people and such is a relatively new phenomenon. Since these groups are almost always all-Black, most of the time these groups are in their own neighborhoods or sections of the city and no one bats an eye about it. When they move into the more public parts of the city (like Broad Street and City Hall or the one at Delaware Ave and Spring Garden) where there are more White people with phones, that's when you see the stories like this.

Liz Truss already stepping down as PM. Whoever coincided the market crash with her plan got what they wanted.
Next up, bets are on the same playbook being used on Italy's Meloni.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, but common knowledge there are interests that would like to see one bank (old money Europe) that had control over everything.kalm wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 7:13 amSo it’s a conspiracy conceived by a world wide cabal of marxist bankers?SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 7:08 am Liz Truss already stepping down as PM.

It's interesting to see US money fight back. Not that they care about Americans as much as they don't want to lose control and be subservient.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Brooks was convicted on all 76 accounts yesterday.
https://news.yahoo.com/man-shouted-burn ... 55038.html
Darrell Brooks was found guilty of all 76 criminal charges against him in connection to last year's deadly attack.
Six people were killed and dozens were wounded when Brooks plowed an SUV into a parade crowd.
A court audience member shouted profanity and was thrown out of the courtroom as a Wisconsin man was convicted on Wednesday of killing six people and wounding dozens of others when he plowed an SUV into a Christmas parade crowd in the state last year.
"Burn in hell you piece of shit," the man shouted from the gallery of the Waukesha County courtroom at Darrell Brooks as the jury's verdict was read aloud by Judge Jennifer R. Dorow.
Dorow immediately had the man — whose identity was not clear — taken out of the courtroom.
"Hey, you are to be removed right now. You will not do that," Dorow told the person.
Brooks, 40, was found guilty of all 76 criminal charges against him, which included six counts of first-degree intentional homicide in connection to the Nov. 21, 2021 attack in the small Wisconsin city of Waukesha.
The six people killed in the rampage included an 8-year-old boy, and more than a dozen other children were injured in the attack.

So far Biden has spent 236 days on unofficial rest and relaxation at his home in Deleware and Camp David during his presidency.
The only reason he is not out golfing is he can't swing a club and it is too public.

And the kicker is TWENTY FIVE prior arrests, yet was still allowed to roam the streets.
