    It's been a long day so once again here is one of the best human towers in history. The TV commentator is practically crying by the end:

      And "crowd control" isn't the real purpose. The central purpose of the contraption is to provide them with a better vantage point from which they can capture video, audio and photos that can be used against the people they are surveilling.
      Seems like drones could do all of this and probably will soon. The air will be full of them.

        They will won't they. It's seriously spooky. An all black twin rotor helicopter flew over last night. No idea who it belonged to. We get Canadian coastguard copters regularly but they're clearly identifiable. This wasn't. At all.

          That would be disconcerting.

          The volume of military aircraft going up and down the river has definitely increased over the last few years.

            It was probably to do with a movie shoot I reckon, but sinister nevertheless.

                I feel like there's an SF short story to be written about the evolution of tardigrades in a zero atmosphere lunar environment after humanity makes the earth uninhabitable.

                  I would be shocked if it hasn't already been done more than once.

                    Yeah. It's a version of Vonnegut's Galapagos, but with IDF trained tardigrades.

                      Seagulls? Seagulls?

                      They're not fucking seagulls.

                      They're gulls mate.

                      Get it right.

                            Leaving aside only illiterate precious wankers say "poop", if you don't have a shit each and every day, you'll end up going off "bang"

                              He clearly doesn't have Crohn's Disease.

                                He has had a colostomy bag though and a lot of stomach surgery. I strongly suspect that he has literally no control over how often he goes, and is projecting. You don't wind up saying something that mental without some underlying cause.

                                  Has he really? That'll teach me for just assuming things.

                                    He was stabbed there during the campaign and they didn't finish the job properly. So he had a bunch of stomach surgery. Literally the first thing that struck me is that is such an odd thing for someone who had a load of stomach surgery to say, and then paradoxically it's probably something only someone that has had stomach surgery would say.

                                                Bloke tries to game the California authorities by heaving NULL as his number plate. He was hoping to avoid all tickets, because his entry would go into the NULL column. Instead, all the badly entered parking tickets which then reverted to NULL in the system were sent to him and he ended up with $12,000 of parking fines.

                                                  Today, his brother Pat (Pasquale) Musitano was shot outside his lawyer's office at 7 a.m. He's apparently still alive.
