France and Germany braced for unrest with hundreds of demonstrations get under way

France and Germany braced for unrest with hundreds of demonstrations get under way

The Guardian has a livestream of the protests taking place in Europe.

Tweet translation: Berlin Update: Little Going On at the Brandenburg Gate

It’s already past 2 p.m. The “Gen-Z” protests have officially begun. Yet at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, the number of protesters is still very manageable. The police units present are likely pleased about that. Whether the number of demonstration participants will remain so manageable as dusk falls remains to be seen.

A Fringe to make you cringe

MUCH consternation has been displayed by the panjandrums who are responsible for organising the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Their annual gathering for aspiring artists has been disrupted by performances by the popular music combo, Oasis. The council organisers have complained that the Oasis fans were undesirable loutish types who would desecrate their sacred festival. A self-professed comedienne called Kate Smurthwaite, apparently a BBC regular, went on to Instagram to moan that no one wanted to watch her show because of the disruption caused by the Gallagher brothers.

More women may be psychopaths than previously thought, says expert

When it comes to a typical psychopath, the suited and booted Patrick Bateman from the novel American Psycho might spring to mind, but, according to one expert, the number of women with the neuropsychiatric disorder could be far greater than previously thought.

Psychopaths are generally considered to lack empathy and guilt, exhibit antisocial behaviour, lie frequently and be ruthless, narcissistic and manipulative.

“Psychopaths are after money, power and control,” said Dr Clive Boddy, from Anglia Ruskin University, who is an expert on psychopaths in the corporate world.

The shamelessness of Hope not Hate

You would think that a group called ‘Hope not Hate’ would have a lot of important things to talk about at the moment. It could look at how the threat of Islamist extremism is corrupting our democracy, for instance. It might raise the alarm about the MPs unwilling to vote with their conscience when it comes to Gaza because they are ‘terrified’. Or point to Mike Freer, who after years of death threats was recently forced to resign as an MP. Hope not Hate might also have investigated the appalling ‘hate marches’ we’ve seen since 7 October, which brought anti-Semitic slogans and chants of ‘jihad’ to the streets of London – or the people with links to Hamas that have helped organise them. There’s certainly been no shortage of hate in Britain this past year.

Hope Not Hate is the Brit Bernie Farber.

Pageboy Reveals Elliot Page Is One Hot Mess

The “trans” actress is undoubtably a product of Hollywoke.

Well, now I know what it’s like being the full-time psychiatrist of a hyper-narcissistic celebrity. No, I haven’t gone to med school, been a psychiatric resident, and hung out a shingle. I’ve just read Elliot (formerly Ellen) Page’s memoir, Pageboy, which, indeed, of all the books I’ve ever encountered, comes the closest to reading like a transcript of the overwrought ramblings, on some shrink’s couch, of an extraordinarily neurotic and self-absorbed movie star.

 

I do not like posting about Page as she seems genuinely ill. This article reveals her to be forever on the verge of self destruction.

Patrick Brown has survived past scandals. Will this latest controversy finally sink him?

Once again, Patrick Brown is campaigning amid controversy.

In 2018, during his first campaign to become mayor of Brampton, Brown’s appeal to diverse populations and popular policy promises won the day, despite the fact he was on the hustings after allegations of sexual impropriety forced him to step down as leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party — allegations CTV News later admitted contained “factually incorrect” information.

Everything you do probably including breathing is racist says Star

Canada’s racist social norms — and how we can change them

In a Facebook group, a white woman responds to a post about new government funding for clean water at an Indigenous reserve, complaining that Indigenous people already get too much support and should do a better job of looking after themselves.

At a bar, a man of European descent joins a discussion about police treatment of Black people and insists that racism and racial profiling happens in other countries, but not in Canada.

Why is it that some people make these kinds of perceivably racist and offensive remarks publicly even as others who might share the views hold their tongue? Whether someone makes such comments out of ignorance, prejudice or insensitivity, people tend to conduct themselves in accordance with what’s socially acceptable.

What garbage. Anything you say that makes the race baiters upset makes you a racist.

Animal shelter to NRA and gun restriction foes: No pets for you

If you want to adopt a dog or cat from this Southern California animal shelter, you have to be 25, prove you can provide a pet with a good home — and support gun restrictions.

Membership in the NRA is a deal breaker, said Shelter Hope Pet Shop owner Kim Sill.

“We do not support those who believe that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons,” Sill wrote on a website for the shelter in Thousand Oaks, California, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles. “If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you.”

Sill added, “If you lie about being a NRA supporter, make no mistake, we will sue you for fraud.”

Cheney: January 6 Probe Found Evidence of ‘Extremely Broad,’ Chilling ‘Conspiracy’

Reporter Robert Costa asked, “Are you confident that what you have found as a committee will somehow grab the American people by the lapels and say, ‘Wake up: You have to pay attention’?”

Cheney said, “I am. The threat, and it’s an ongoing threat, you know, we are not in a situation where former President Trump has expressed any sense of remorse about what happened. We are, in fact, in a situation where he continues to use even more extreme language, frankly, than the language that caused the attack. And so, people must pay attention. People must watch, and they must understand how easily our democratic system can unravel if we don’t defend it.”
