People losing their shit over this on social media.

Private school cunts. Shock

When I were a young lad this came out, and it's stuck with me more than anything since.  I couldn't remember who was the client until I googled it the now.

Even the prods out there call it Derry. Tends to just be wankers over here and newsreaders that give it the Londonderry title.

Founders of plastic waste alliance 'investing billions in new plants'

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/..._clipboard

Together the companies have committed $1bn (£778m) over the next five years to reduce plastic production and improve recycling, with an aspiration to raise that to $1.5bn if more members join.

But most of the founding firms have tens of billions of dollars riding on the need for global plastic production to continue growing over the next decade and more.

Shell, one of the signatories, is building a multibillion-dollar plant in Pennsylvania in the eastern US, using shale gas as its fuel to produce 1.6m tonnes of polyethylene – the world's most common plastic – each year.

A nice idea, but while there's still a few billion dollars to be made by Shell and EM, I suppose life's long-term survival on Earth can wait.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I suspect there will be a degree of pull back, a fair amount of spin and damage control, and then the circus will move on. The toxicity created is really quite

Two 'parts' to this video:

-1st is with NP and his entourage, which comes across as a bit  
-2nd is with odd-ballers the Black Hebrew Isralites; worth it for the ending.  Rekt.

Not a good few days for reporting (in the US).

Racial tensions in the USA? Whatever next.

[pondlife]

It's not about racial tensions, it's about reporting them that's the real issue here. It's about integrity and reporting full stop, especially by the MSM.

From that rag the Guardian, today. Basically a re-hash of the original story. They really are a shower of shits.

The crucial thing is that the nation's culture is now enmeshed in a new technology that we don't yet know how to control.

In this technology, stereotype is more salient than persons. In this technology, a single moment is more important than a life story. In this technology, a main activity is proving to the world that your type is morally superior to the other type.

The Covington case was such a blatant rush to judgment — it was powered by such crude prejudice and social stereotyping — I'm hoping it will be an important pivot point. I'm hoping that at least a few people start thinking about norms of how decent people should behave on these platforms.

Yet the NYT Picks include comments that are pretty much hard-core lefty whataboutery.  
As for the Reader's Picks.  

The US, especially is truly fucked, I tell you.

Pondy, little cunts were acting like little cunts. Turning it into a debate about technology or moral whataboutery or the msm is nothing but obfuscation pandering to little cunts and bigger cunts. It's that sort of a reaction that's only ever offered to people with privilege. That's the privilege.
