Anderson Cooper Shuts Down Donald Trump Jr.'s Lie

Ex-Drug Cop Explains What Going Undercover is Like

Jinx says...

In the UK we have a the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, a public body whose evidence is dismissed by politicians, and whose chair is then sacked for suggesting politicians dismiss the scientific evidence. Still mad about it 2018.

Also related, see use of undercover cops in protest groups (at least two of which actually had children with the people they were surveilling...).

Great fucking Britain.

BBC Bodyguard: the shooting

cloudballoon says...

I use a VPN connection to download & watch all BBC shows through the BBC iPlayer (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer) app. It got HD & close caption for all shows but each episode is time limited. The Bodyguard is available for 6 months from broadcast day, the recently finished Versailles gave me about 2 weeks to watch, so I guess each show varies).

Is this on any streaming service outside the UK? Or is it watchable by “other” means?

BBC Bodyguard: the shooting

BBC Bodyguard: the shooting

cloudballoon says...

So am I and my wife. Love British drama, crime & mystery shows. They're far more plot-drive and less needlessly dramatic (i.e. more realistic to me at least) than the majority of Hollywood fairs.

The completed Broadchurch (UK ver.) series was excellent too. The US version was laughable in contrast, even if they hired the SAME lead.

Bundesliga commentary animated as everyday situations

b4rringt0n says...

It's not blocked here in the UK either.

I understand why some companies choose to block some content. Because if another company is paying to show this content then they would have a big problem if it became freely available on youtube, because they would be losing ad revenue in that country.

However, this video is an actual advert and made by Bundesliga to promote their own youtube channel. It doesn't make much sense to me why they would block it in Germany.

Blocked for me, blocked in germany, for US eyes only. Why do they do this if it is so easy to bypass?

The Wallrider

eric3579 says...

Store employee Doug Sharp told Mad World News that the man came in to the shop the day after the incident to explain what had happened.

According to Sharp, the incident resulted in the man suffering 'several broken bones.'

As Sharp explained, the man promised 'to make good on it.'

18 Teachers In Oklahoma Calling It Quits

b4rringt0n says...

*quality and *promote

It was very moving listening to these teachers.

I lived with two newly qualified teachers in a house share a few years ago. Both of them were already thinking of leaving after only one year because of similar issues here in the UK. Low pay combined with incredible pressure to perform, discipline students, growing classrooms and zero support.

It's sad that we seem to prioritize entertainment, sports and fame (to name but a few) instead of education which is the light of civilization.

Is "Talking White" Actually A Thing?

Jinx says...

I actually thought he was white in the beginning. Maybe you have to be American.

I wonder what people from other countries think of UK regional dialects. I think I probably judge people more by how they sound than by the colour of their skin; I wish I could hear them as a foreigner would, presumably without all the attached bias. On the other hand my accent is good currency almost everywhere...

The US-Canada Border Splits This Road Down The Middle

cloudballoon says...

There's an elite Canadian boarding school (Stanstead College) that I went to during my formative years. They admit quite few US & UK exchange students. Border agents were very friendly back in the day (80/90's). Us teenagers can just walk over to the US side by pointing and saying we're going to the groceries down the road when we check-in with the US border agents and they'd let us through. Back to the Canadian side, we just say we're Stanstead College students and they whisk us through.

We didn't carry passports. Not once did they not let us through. And I'm a visible minority (Chinese). Can't imagine they'd allow this anymore according to Mayor Dutil. Too bad...
