We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

I love that tiny little shred of battle weary optimism. The faint echo of a glimmer of hope that humanity might be somehow redeemable  :lulz:

Yeah, I was thinking of a certain conversation RE humanity's propensity for diversity when I posted this and thought, "Thanks, assbags, here I am trying to make a good case for why you aren't all scum, and you have to shave an orangutan for sex work. Thanks. Fuckers."

:horrormirth:

The malleability of human nature means that humans can go in the exact opposite direction from "good". I think that's a really important thing to be aware of. It also means that people who think of themselves as basically good can do absolutely horrific things under certain circumstances.

QuotePolice in England are searching for an Irish teenager who is said to have slapped a shop worker across the face with a large fish.

QuoteCCTV images of a teenage boy and girl have been released by Lancashire Constabulary after the worker was slapped across the face with a bream.

QuoteLancashire Constabulary described the incident as "completely unacceptable".

In a statement, the police said the 52-year-old victim was working behind the fish counter when a young woman approached to ask about different fish.

"Without warning, the woman has picked up a large bream from the fish stall and slapped the worker across the face before running out of the store," said the statement from Lancashire Constabulary.

Potentially one to watch

QuoteAn Indian soldier has shot dead five of his colleagues before killing himself in Indian-administered Kashmir, military officials say.

The incident took place on Wednesday night at a military camp about 20km (12 miles) north of the city of Srinagar.

An investigation was underway to determine the cause of the incident, officials said.

Minimal details as of yet but shady shit is almost assured. It's Kashmir.

QuoteAn MI5 agent pretending to have Gestapo links secretly controlled a vast network of UK-based Nazi sympathisers, newly-released files reveal.

The agent, known by the alias Jack King, infiltrated a group of pro-German activists in south-east England in a previously unknown wartime operation.

His undercover work led to the identification of hundreds of people willing to pass secrets to the enemy.

Files in the National Archives describe King as a "genius" at his work.

King sounds like Maxwell Knight, or a protege of his.

Knight had broadly fascist sympathies, but he was a patriot first and foremost.  He ran the British Union of Fascists intelligence wing while moonlight for MI5, and organised a couple of daring break-ins of Communist Party offices.  He would've had the links and credibility to set up something like this, and he was well connected among London's criminal class.

That's a heartening sign of progress... the law actually treating prostitutes like human beings with rights and autonomy rather than just fucktoys with no right to exercise their own volition is a refreshing change.

Right. And a nice reminder to those in the industry pre-legalisation that with their employees now recognised by law, they have to act like any other employer.
