In the news: The WTF, the weird, the moving, the Dalek, the shit, the drama
A friend of mine is having some financial shit. I've helped out a bit earlier and if you can, I and her would be most gracious. I'd certainly be willing to write you a fanfic treat or something if you did.
In the news:
- Husband was suspected of wife's murder - turns out the moose did it.
Um. That's seriously the first time I've ever heard of a murderous moose. (Moose can get aggressive when protecting their kids, but usually they just stare you down. WTF, truly.)
- An American is facing his 6th trial for the same alleged murder.
And when I read statements like one (white) American claiming that tt's all right for them (non-whites) to practise their culture but they should not take ours away from us. We are probably the most discriminated race in the country, my eyes are rolling so far into my head I can see my brain.
- At one university in the US, you can't graduate unless your BMI is below obesity or you can document weight loss.
I realise the US (and many Western countries) have a growing obesity problem, but seriously?!
- Norway's skating couch (an American) was fired for sexual harassment against one female skater.
What pisses me most off about this whole thing is that the female skater who reported it, she just reported what he'd said and never demanded the skating association do this or that. But when he gets fired, who gets a lot of online shit? Her of course. Yes, it's always so classy to blame the victim.
- In honour of the 100-year anniversary of the train route between Oslo and Bergen, NRK made a program showing the journey in real time.
A journey that takes over 7 hours, by the way. My mad, mad parents watched the whole thing and then bragged to me about it. Hah.
- A quite movie piece written by Patrick Stewart on domestic violence.
- One American judge got so disgusted with an American bank's behaviour, he erased one couple's mortage to it.
- A year old, but I hadn't seen it: Selling rape joke t-shirts on eBay and claiming them light-hearted. Err.
A Dalek runs Europe alongside Cathy Ashton.
I can't help but think at least a Dalek would liven up EU meetings a bit.And maybe exterminate Berlusconi already.
- A fanfic writer turning up to defend and talk about why she writes 'lolicon' can just not end well at all.
And doesn't. (Note, she posts a bit of one fic in her comments. Though not graphic, could be triggering.) Admittedly, I tend to be of the 'your kink is not for me to call not okay, especially when it's fictional' school, but that is really pushing my attendance. Then again, so do a lot of fictional non-con. Ugh.
- The vandalized gingerbread city in Bergen is being rebuilt.
And now December can start as it should - just bring on some snow already, weathergods.
I think I'll do a 'December in Norway' photo thing the coming weeks, too.
