A car explosion that occurred outside of a synagogue in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles was caused by a mechanical failure
so hard to tell whether this update will relieve or disappoint Mordy

I'm very relieved! The need to impute fantasies psychotic violence on the part of ppl who disagree with you is probably projection?

It's not actually that bad a read, but running an article by John Harris about the resurgence of vinyl is just pandering to this thread:www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/07/-sp-vinyls-difficult-comeback

Retaliation from the rightwing twittersphere was swift and violent, as Khalek documented in an exhaustive (and exhausting) post at Alternet. “Move your America hating ass to Iraq, let ISIS rape you then cut your cunt head off, fucking media whore muslim,” wrote a rather unassuming-looking mom named Donna. “Rania, maybe we to take you ass overthere and give it to ISIS … Dumb bitch,” offered a bearded man named Ronald, who enjoys either bass fishing or playing the bass (we may never know). “Waterboarding is far from torture,” explained an army pilot named Benjamin, all helpfulness. “I wouldn’t mind giving you two a demonstration.”

Totally Mexico! How the Nathan Barley nightmare came true
Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris’s 2005 TV series was a comedy about a ludicrous ‘self-facilitating media node’ in east London. But 10 years on, it looks more like a documentary about the future

it's an absolutely shit piece and it fits the strapline. hipsters this hipsters that. it says "haircuts" how many times? gimme 1000 dayglo hipsters over brooker and co encouraging anyone who reads the guardian to stand up and applaud themselves every fucking day for liking 6music and jarvis cocker, and decade old tv shows. honestly - the guardian on culture is like your granddad plus 970 words and minus a sense of humour.

Yes - far too self-congratulatory a piece. ...2005 was already well into Shoreditch/Hoxton era and NB was was actually quite bland and only occasionally hitting the target.

Or the pub that had been bought out by club promoters, but “to confuse people” they’d kept the downstairs bar unaltered and given all the regulars membership. “All the normal people had been turned into these weird props.”
this is so fucking absurd - so they should have just booted out the regulars cos to keep allowing them in was voyeurism by default? you can't win with the "o they're at it again" morons in the guardian. heaven forbid a few people in a big city did some silly things in the name of art - let's all fucking throw a wooly jumper at them and listen to "sorted for es and whizz".

Omar El-Hussein, the 22-year-old Danish man shot dead by police after supposedly carrying out the worst attack on Danish soil for decades, was a petty criminal with a past seemingly full of contradictions. He was a smart student but reportedly had a short fuse and was prone to violence. He was a talented kick-boxer and yet appeared to have suffered from anxiety and used cannabis.
