CSI fanfic awards are looking for nominations
I don't read too much CSI fic these days, but there it is, for those of who do. Go forth and love goodfic. Or some such. (Is there going to be a DW fanfic award, me wonders? With the following wank, of course. Oi, Mithril Awards flashback.)
Does remind me - I think I had Goodfic Appreciation Week around this time last year. Maybe it's time for another. So, starting Monday, I shall post recs throughout the week, varying fandoms a bit. Feel free to do the same, if you like. Goodfic should be loved.
Meanwhile, is this for real?
British holidaymakers staged an unprecedented mutiny - refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.
The extraordinary scenes happened after some of the 150 passengers on a Malaga-Manchester flight overheard two men of Asian appearance apparently talking Arabic.
... Apparently talking Arabic? Paranoia and racial profiling and villifying languages much? Way to give a hateful hand to fundamentalist nutters with penis and virgin issues, really. Funny how easily fear make idiots of us, innit? Probably why some many nasty nutters (Hello Mao, do step up) have used it to terrifying effect. And I can somewhat understand it and that just makes me even sadder. As Roosevelt put it, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Different times then, but humans haven't changed all that much.
I worry sometimes about what fear might do to even my very safe, very tiny country.
In other news:
Facts and figures over losses in Iraq
Judge consulting 'mystic Dwarves' on judgements loses appeal to win back job
Judge jailed over wanking off at work
'No swastikas' for Nato mittens
Juventus appeal fails
Freed hostages return to Norway
