About as much as CPI and inflation do to a salary pay review.

Absolutelyfuckingnothing.

Final show for Phil Collins & Genesis.


Good on him for doing one last show. The man's 71 & deserves a rest.

[Ab]

I see Peter Gabriel was there too. Legends.

Well, they sure knew how to get attention back on the Oscars this year.

What did the five fingers say to the FACE?!

I am ashamed to admit that this was one of the first lines to pop into my head.

WTF went on there.
Seems well over the top for a publicity stunt or a joke. If it were, would you really think WS would go along with it. Doesn't give him a good look.

The other funny thing (I don't know if there were more jokes prior), but CR makes a joke. Smith is laughing Jada is not happy.
I can only imagine Smith thought oh shit, Im getting in trouble tonight. How can I recover from this.
Im going to go smack him.

Edit. Oh, Im not down with hollywood gossip. I didn't realise she had alopecia.

Lesson: you can violently assault someone in a theatre full of witnesses and no one will notice if you’re rich

[Lightspeed]

I mean... people noticed.

Chris Rock hit the jackpot tho, he's gonna be getting all kinds of work and appearances.

[Ab]

The denial-of-reality hypocrisy is just jawdropping.

@TheAcademy

The Academy does not condone violence of any form.

Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.

[Lightspeed]

The thing with these motherfuckers is this could be 100% staged, 100% exactly what is seems, or some spooky, creepy mix in between. And we'll never know.

Happy birthday Wazza.

[wazza]

Hey! Thanks

sobriety appears to be the winning formula!

Will Smith apologizes: ‘I was out of line and I was wrong’

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,”

Interesting how this apology opens with a lie. Cause I've seen rugby games, UFC matches. I've seen police enforce the law. To be human is to be violent, to be alive is to be violent.

Seems like an attempt to remind the reader that there's other violence. "It's not just me."

[Ab]

You can bet a PR person was writing that text before Smith even got back to his seat.

[xor]

Will Smith be on that cocaine.

[Ab]

All violence is bad, trans women are women, black lives matter, words cause harm, believe all women. The left - and let's be honest, popular discourse is driven by the left - has certain shibboleths that you're not allowed to dispute. They're sounds that you make with your mouth that signal you're one of us not one of them. Even when you literally just hit someone in the face, if you then say "violence bad" then everything's ok. Because you're us. Not them.

I think you are confusing physical force with violence.

[Lightspeed]

You can dress it how you please, humans by virtue of our existence must engage in violence. There aren't many evolutionary niches that allow an organism to survive without violence.

Creating distinctions to compartmentalise our violence only leaves that which we'd disavow to manifest in uncontrolled ways, resulting in uncontrolled destruction.

Or you're just a dumb sack of shit who feels left out of the conversation.

I guess we'll never know.

The SAS make the distinction between aggression and violence. You absolutely need to have aggression to make it in the SAS. Aggression is controlled, and channeled in a meaningful way to achieve an outcome. Violence is chaotic, uncontrolled, and reactionary. You do not need to be violent.

[Ab]

How the fuck can something be chaotic uncontrolled and reactionary?

Dude disrespects someone important to me, I seek a meaningful outcome of correcting that behaviour, with some recourse, satisfaction for the slight. An open palmed hand to the face risks no real injury, while meeting my desired outcome.

Cool, so what's Smith apologising for?

[Lightspeed]

And are our children poisonous and destructive?

Or do we have some sophistry to make the behaviour we can observe in children distinct from violence as well?

And on we go, forever cooking up rules and distinctions to distance ourselves from what we can't bare see in ourselves. And so, it remains. We stagnate instead of maturing.

Only a single thing matters: mutual consent.

Yesterday I learned after going private and paying $1000 less health insurance that:

The ecg from your smartwatch can be used for evidential diagnosis for ablation. If you catch it.
A lucky photo of the hospital’s ecg should not.
If a doctor in a+e makes such a claim as “that’s afib” and another doctor says “yep” GET IT ON FUCKIG PAPER
It takes multiple weeks to complete a request to pull data out of a hospitals archives for the chance that the above happened.
