Corbyn winning?

похоже, парень удержится. неожиданное - рядом.

. It's Margaret Hodge who has peddled racist rhetoric, not Jeremy Corbyn
. Palestinian ambassador urges Jeremy Corbyn not to ‘give in’ and adopt the widely accepted definition of anti-Semitism for the Labour party
. Williamson defends Corbyn after MP's attack
. Dame Margaret Hodge compares Labour investigation to treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany

поразительно. не могу понять, как говорил капитан Павел Васильевич Алёхин.

compare with Jews FURIOUS on Aug 3rd.

Spring Breakers


исключительно идиотский Spring Breakers, однако стоит посмотреть ради разговоров по телефону с родителями. ну и для общего образования, какое кино нынче делают, и как это все выглядит реально.

критики на Rotten Tomatoes дали 67%, зрители - 38%. это несмотря на soft porn, который там, несомненно, присутствует. яркое кино, хотя и дурацкое.



еще The Neighbor - затея неплохая, его следовало бы назвать Разные люди, но все испортил William Fichtner в главной роли, это явная ошибка режиссера, передержка. нужен был нормальный заурядный мужик, а он играет какого-то робота-аутиста. там вообще играть толком никому не требуется, и все остальные толком и не играют, и правильно делают.

so long Soros

KICKED OUT: Poland Deports George Soros Aide Back To Ukraine
POLAND has deported a top Soros Aide from the EU’s Schengen Area after her husband called for mass civil disobedience in the European country.

Lyudmyla Kozlovska was deported to Kiev, Ukraine due to an abuse of the Schengen Information System (SIS).

Kozlovska’s husband, Bartosz Kramek, Head of the Open Dialog Foundation’s Board had also called for various civil disobedience actions in Poland, so the countries tough right-wing government kicked her out.
WaPo, конечно, не упустило случая пнуть кровавого путена: The Polish government expels a critic — and sets an ominous precedent for the European Union
...vicious online harassment campaign. Her attackers have labeled her as an agent of George Soros, a conspiracy-fueled insult with anti-Semitic connotations that has been widely disseminated by the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin and now adopted by the global far-right. (Kozlovska told me she has met Soros exactly once.)

Meanwhile, others vilify her as a Putin agent – which is no less absurd, given that Kozlovska has been a consistent and outspoken opponent of Moscow’s annexation of her former home region of Crimea.

ну что ж, скатертью дорога. теперь pani Kozłowska может встречаться с Соросом хоть каждый день.

On private censorship

But social media sites are not publishers. They’re publishing platforms. We, the users, are the publishers. The social media sites are the presses that we use to publish our work and that of people we want to share with our followers.

юбилейное

Actress Lena Dunham posted three nude photos of herself Wednesday morning to celebrate undergoing a hysterectomy nine months ago. - breitbart.com

по ссылке - еще фото [16+].

комментарии там зашкаливают:
BB: This is a clear case of reader abuse , and you should have posted a warning of repulsive graphic content. --- I guess you're all laughing it up in the editors office.
это она обещала уехать в Канаду, если Трамп победит. на что Трамп сказал: Americans will thank me when Lena Dunham flees to Canada

так совпало

- Алло, полиция! Меня похитили инопланетяне!
- Вы пьяны?
- Да, так совпало.

like in a hospice

  • Facebook news executive Campbell Brown reportedly warned publishers if they didn't work with Facebook, "I'll be holding your hands with your dying business like in a hospice."
  • Facebook says those comments were taken out of context.

с похвальной прямотой

report untrue

это страшный Milorad Dodik, president of Bosnia's Republika Srpska entity. WaPo разместила этот чудесный портрет не зря. статья The Republican Party must rein in its mercenaries in the Balkans разъясняет в лучших традициях Правды и NYT, что администрация Трампа совершает очередное преступление:
U.S. policy in the Balkans is shifting, and the implications are ominous.

The U.S. ambassador in Pristina recently made statements suggesting that Washington is now, at the very least, open to considering the partition of Kosovo as a means of resolving a protracted dispute with Serbia over the country’s status.
радио Свободная Европа подтверждает: Bosnian Serb Leader Denies Scope Of Srebrenica Massacre, Calls For Investigation. какое вам еще расследование, когда и так все ясно? DW добавляет жару: A 2004 report describing how Serb forces killed thousands of Bosniaks in Srebrenica in 1995 is "untrue" and "biased" according to the Serb-dominated entity in Bosnia, Milorad Dodik. Local lawmakers voted to revoke it.

в общем, судя по накалу истерики в прессе, видно, что не так все сладко, как хотелось бы WaPo.

комментарии к статье в WaPo:
yourfired: For an Opinion post, there is definitely no lack of bias here. Is you're second job as a spin doctor!?

nuicame: Is this "yourfired's" second job as a Russian spin troll?

yourfired: Yes, everyone in the world who disagrees with you is a Russian agent.

absolute pauperization

The sexual revolution of the 1960s, widely seen as a liberation movement, is better understood as the intrusion of capitalist values into the previously sacrosanct realm of intimate life. “Just like unrestrained economic liberalism … sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization,” he writes. “Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never.” - A French Novelist Imagined Sexual Dystopia. Now It’s Arrived. [NYT] 
от себя добавлю: are they implying some government intervention is needed to distribute sex more equally? expand the welfare state a bit more? i bet they would rather push back sexual revolution. maximizing happiness? utility? Utilitarinsm?

inane level of censorship

George Orwell got the inspiration for writing 1984, from his own experiences with the BBC and his wife’s experiences from working inside the censorship department during WW2, where there was an inane level of censorship, and ever changing rules on what was not deemed appropriate for the public. - 1984 George Orwell

Sex differences in response to children's toys

Sex differences in response to children's toys in nonhuman primates: In this study, we found that vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) show sex differences in toy preferences similar to those documented previously in children. The percent of contact time with toys typically preferred by boys (a car and a ball) was greater in male vervets (n=33) than in female vervets (n=30) (P<.05), whereas the percent of contact time with toys typically preferred by girls (a doll and a pot) was greater in female vervets than in male vervets (P<.01).
это в 2002-м опубликовано

Male monkeys prefer boys’ toys - это в 2008-м, в New Scientist.
