That's not on.

Yes it is.

Surely there is a happy medium between being a Dawkins like ball bag and this pandering to soft headed religious idiocy.

Aye fair enough, Laurie's done plenty of the latter in the past though!

someone told me that back in the day, yiddish anarchists used to taunt believers going to the synagogue (in Whitechapel I believe) with bacon sarnies.

Can anyone confirm that story.

The story certainly appears in Bill Fishman's "East End Jewish Radicals 1875-1914", and most of Fishman's stuff is decently-sourced.

For the love of god,was there no radical intersectional blogs to call out early 20th century Yiddish anarchists of the east end for this kind of behaviour?

Yeah, but Glenn had an upside-down cross branded on his forehead, and the poet didn't, so Deicide win!

Holy shit. This is so hilariously sloppy from Penny. She accurately quotes the Pope describing abortion as 'frightful' then in the next paragraph mis-quotes him as describing it as 'horrific'. Did she not read it?

In his recent speech, Pope Francis warned us all that we’re living in a “throwaway culture”. “Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects,” he said, “but often human beings themselves, who are discarded as ‘unnecessary.’ For example, it is frightful even to think there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day.”

The Pope, like all human beings of every faith and none, has a right to his opinion. The Pope is free to believe that abortion is wrong. I have no problem with that, right up to the point where his beliefs start to influence the autonomy of others, so the Pope’s beliefs about abortion will become relevant the day the Pope gets pregnant. Telling the world that abortion is “horrific”, however, is not a question of faith. Theological debate is not what matters here. What matters is women’s lives, and men in positions of power deciding that we don’t deserve the right to control what happens to our bodies.

The "frightful" line comes from the official Vatican translation: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/f...-francesco_20140113_corpo-diplomatico_en.html

However, most media have wrongly translated it as "horrific".

I see Brand is declaring that "And finally, through the love of a good woman, teenage, sexist me was slain." Damn those non-good women who failed to bring him to his senses in his near 40 years on this earth prior to this.

Yet another in her endless parade of useless sub-editors, methinks.

Nothing to do with being a dishonest, sloppy, careless, second-rate hack paid to bullshit by the the word, obviously...

 

[butchersapron]

Oh god, it gets worse - Khan is the 'good woman' - I wonder how having associate editor and financial contributor to the broke new statesman be your guardian angel helped in getting a Russel Brand issue?

Oh we're coming, like nazi pigs crashing through the window in american werewolf in london - we're coming.

Not quite sure if this the right thread, but this is an example of the shit this thread is about on the cultural level. Read this and hate. Hate hard. Then hate harder.

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole of NYC’s Lena Dunham Obsession

* March 1998: A Vogue story on precocious tweens in New York features Lena Dunham:

"There's no Prada allowed in one downtown household. Laurie Simmons and Carroll Dunham's eleven-year-old daughter, Lena, has a street edge that could leave even Miss Schnabel feeling momentarily inadequate. "I tried to model this after Helmut Lang," says Lena, showing off a shift she sewed herself. Her fashion pronouncements are something you'd expect from a woman (at least) three times her age: "I tend not to go for trends. You can only wear them for two weeks . . . . I really like Jil Sander, but it's so expensive.... I find Calvin Klein really hard to respect because he's everywhere. I view him as a clothesmonger . . . . Manolo is really classy." Then she returns to preteen reality—"But five dollars a week [i.e., her allowance] isn't really enough. I'm just looking."
