Is this a breaking story?  I'm still only seeing the news about the raid.

At the time it was breaking that Subway shitcanned him.

No, the report is that they have mutually agreed to suspend their relationship during the investigation.  This could all just be about the investigation of the ED of his Foundation who is being investigated for possession of child porn.  It is to early to know what if any involvement Jared has.

Well then I hope he's innocent.

 :hmm: So, he was neither arrested nor shitcanned.

And it is sickening how much of that is by design. :x

How so?

Centralized governments going back years. It used to be a far bigger thing in England than in France. Then the French revolution rolled in and made everything about Paris.

That was my take away.  France and Britain are almost like giant city states.  Federalism seems a superior system.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's striking how dominant London and Paris are. A lot of poor provinces around one mighty capital.
Plenty of provinces 100-110% around London.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

With the tube strike due to happen tonight and tomorrow, London will really feel like a diverse set of villages. :cry:

You remember the guy with the tank, 8.8cm flak and V1 at home?

Well, the police have found another "collector" in North Frisia - he had an unspecified amount of machine guns, hand grenades, panzerfausts, and live ammunition in his home - all WW2 vintage, along with 40 kilos of TNT, plus a Soviet landmine. Police evacuated the area while recovery of the items was underway. One grenade needed to be detonated in the garden (my guess is that the police just wanted to try it out :P ).

Takeaways:

- Communism was not too good.
- Predictably, most capitals accumulate wealth compared to the rest of the nation.
- Even us southerners have a north-south divide going on.
- France only has 4 regions above the EU average, which surprised me. We have 7, for example.

And now for something truly important.

QuoteYou may have noticed a small but symbolic change to the friend request icon on your Facebook page.

The icon has been altered so the female figure is in front of the male one, after Facebook designer Caitlin Winner noticed that previously "the woman was quite literally in the shadow of the man".
