I kind of see where they are coming from.

Charlie Hebdo would never have been considered for the award, if not for the horrendous murders. But maybe that's the point. I give up.

Glinner is fuming

Haha. Gwan, Graham, ya mad yoke.

Rachel Kushner's book is really very good.

Yeah I loved it.

Currently reading Junot Diaz and it's great too. And judging by the language in it, I doubt he's pro censorship in any way

That one he did about the Dominican fat kid was great

I knew I was missing like half the references though

He opened it with some riff on the Declaration but changed to reference the dictator. Mind-blowing stuff.

Oh, that's the one you said. Junot Diaz. Great read.
I felt hot and sweaty reading it.

Insufferable arseholery just about covers it.

yeah, still happening. Fuck Glinner









(unblock me you bastard!)

 

[nooleen]

that anecdote is clearly nonsense; everyone knows france has no racism. anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't understand its sophisticated intellectual culture.

 

[Lili Marlene]

She uses a lot of words in it. No doubt the victims would have liked to still be using words.

Checkmate, haters.

Bit of a chip on her shoulder no?
As for talk of French racism or not, the cartoonists were not shot for being racist but for drawing pictures of a historical character, I doubt the killers were even aware of this supposed racism. That aside, being a racist is not sufficient reason to be shot.

Anyway, here's a Bangladeshi blogger who was hacked to death, the third in recent months, all seemingly by Islamists. I wonder what he did to deserve it.

are you FUCKING kidding me?

Who said it was?

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Not at all- admittedly it was only a scan of the article so I may revise that upon a proper reading of it.

It wasn't explicitly stated but it seemed to be "awful affair, but they were racist".

 

[Lili Marlene]

You're on thin ice Ted!

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Sorry, I take it all back.

We're killing the Boston bomb guy

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Did I read correctly that his defence appealed for life without parole and, to bolster their case, argued that life without parole would be a harsher penalty than death? I might have picked that up wrong, it sounded mad. I'd rather the death penalty than the rest of my life in a US prison. I suppose it'll take them years to get around to killing the poor fucker.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

It's a logical enough argument, I can't imagine he'd be put in with the general prison population and I can imagine few things worse than staring at a wall for forty plus years.
The Guardian reckon its unlikely he'll actually ever be put to death while a victims family argue that the inevitable ongoing appeals will keep their pain alive, it's hard to argue with that (story is from late April).
