One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

In 2013-2014, the Musee d'Orsay in Paris put on a display, Masculine/Masculine, of artworks featuring nude men. Anticipating controversy - it was put on in response to France debating the legality of same sex marriage at the time - the curators symbolised it by including a nude photograph of Eminem

Given the confirmation that Cabinet ministers would rather see Matt Goodwin in the House of Commons than a Green victory, I will no longer be listening to a damn thing that Labour apologists want to say about election strategy & solidarity.
Never mind left-wing, Labour aren't even anti-fascist.

never forget the reason Eminem never became Very Online is because he accurately understood that it would drive him insane

I would just reiterate, that it seems unlikely that I, Just A Guy, A Regular Guy, knew more in-depth detail about Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein than the Prime Minister off the United Kingdom who was at the time considering appointing him as Ambassador to the United States.
I would never have appointed Mandelson had I known full Epstein links - PM

The PM says a due diligence process was gone through before Lord Mandelson was appointed US ambassador.

Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Can't now find it but there's a classic old tweet which said something like "Every time we're on the verge of achieving class consciousness in America a CIA sleeper agent activates and, their eyes glowing red, they just tweet out "John Brown was a white saviour"" and I think about it often.

I think people can learn a lot about messaging from when Eminem endorsed Kamala Harris because he thought she would protect "free speech" better than the GOP - logical, it's key to his persona, and literally correct - but "free speech" was claimed so much by the right that viewers just got confused

Taylor Swift stole from me when I had to listen to that song about being cancelled
There isn't some fixed pie of wealth that has to be divided between rich and poor. Billionaires mostly created new wealth—for instance, Taylor Swift made songs that many people were willing to pay for, and we're all better off for Brin and Page's Google. They didn't steal from you.

Maybe I'm a perpetually shocked naif but this one really did surprise me. I interpreted JKR as having misguided views but also being a petty, belligerent little turd with an insecurity complex. I did not realise she wanted to be personal friends with child rapists for no reason
JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner.
