[Cpt. Nemo]

Everyone's favorite psychopath died in prison yesterday!

Not that the replacement is any better, though I guess there is slim hope that more rational people will now reign.

You mean, Mr. Crocodile? I see you haven't been following what was actually going on down there.

 

[Jhessail]

Mr Crocodile from Team Lacoste is pretty old as well and with Grace Mugambe ousted too, there is a chance (admittedly slim) that things could get better. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist.

 

[Almalexia]

Next step is resignation from the post of President. Exile and possibly some sort of court case seem likely.

It's done.

 

[Adorno]

Never thought this trial would end:

... found Mladic guilty of 10 of 11 charges, including the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica
and the siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, in which more than 11,000 civilians were killed by shelling and sniper fire over 43 months.
...
Four of Mladic’s subordinates received life sentences.
...
The ICTY indicted 161 people in all from Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo. It has convicted 83, more than 60 of them ethnic Serbs.

Another heinous crime against humanity is being committed:

Mr. Pai, a Republican who has pursued an aggressive deregulation agenda, was widely expected to have his plan approved
during a meeting on Dec. 14. The two other Republicans on the commission generally vote with Mr. Pai, giving them a majority over the two Democrats.

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

I hate that man so much that I would gladly bite his entire face off if he came within a hundred metres of my mouth. I'd probably contract several STIs and the UltraCorp© police would vaporise me with railguns in an instant but it'd be worth it.

What makes him so irritating is his smug and irrational statements like "the government is micromanaging the internet" or "we'll provide a wider range of services". Even ancaps are finding it hard to justify this nuclear dumpster fire.

 

[The Bowman]

JSA. One could make a movie on that. The guy lived after being hit 5 times.

 

[Adorno]

That could have ended bad. The madman is driving on the left side of the road.

But it's the perfect, believable, way to make a double spy.

 

[Arvenski]

One could make a movie on that.

Considering Holywood's been in the habit of making movies about fairly recent events, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

 

[K-64]

They are? I thought they were in the habit of rebooting reboots.

 

[Arvenski]

Well, that too.

Belgian news: Waffle fire spews smoke over Brussels

[DanAngleland]

"The Brussels mayor has warned that the smoke could be toxic and urged residents to close their windows."

He just wants to keep all the lovely smell to himself!

Attack on Mosque in Egyptian Sinai kills 235 people!

 

[Bluehawk]

 

[Austupaio]

I'm certain that's not how Joe meant for that to come off, don't give him a hard time.

 

[Captured Joe]

What?

 

[Dryvus]

The delighted-looking smiley you used.

 

[Antonis]

That's a surprised emoticon.
