Cadavers in the ballroom: Doctors practice their craft in America’s favorite hotels
Big names in hospitality, from Disney to Hilton and Hyatt, have a little-known sideline: They rent space to physicians who train on cadavers and body parts. There is scant regulation, and some public-health specialists warn of biosafety risks.

Library of Congress Gives Up Collecting All Tweets Because Twitter Is Garbage
https://gizmodo.com/library-of-c…
"The Library of Congress issued a white paper this month saying that it was proud of its comprehensive collection of tweets from the first 12 years of Twitter, but that it’s completely unnecessary for it to continue. Instead, the organization will only collect tweets that it deems historically significant. For instance, President Trump’s tweets are almost certainly still going to be saved for future generations."

Fatal ‘Swatting’ Episode in Kansas Raises Quandary: Who Is to Blame?
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/…
When the police surrounded a house in Wichita, Kan., late Thursday, they expected to find a gunman who told a 911 dispatcher that he was holding his mother and brother at gunpoint after shooting his father in the head.
But no crime had been committed at that house, and the man who would be fatally shot by an officer moments later was not the person who had called.

This App Collects Spare Change to Bail People out of Jail
https://www.wired.com/story/this…
-
Those who can afford to pay bail go home to await their day in court; those who cannot remain locked up. On an average day, that’s about 450,000 people, accounting for two-thirds of the nation’s jail population.

What in the world is Trumpy Bear? People are so confused
It’s a real thing, a real perplexing thing, apparently, being sold at GetTrumpyBear.com and through an infomercial airing on at least 10 cable channels by one count.
It’s a plush, dark brown teddy bear wearing a white collar, white cuffs and a long red tie. It has a comb-over-like sweep of blond hair that blows in the wind when he rides on a motorcycle.
Zip open the secret pocket on his back and pull out an American flag blanket, which a woman in the infomercial enthusiastically snuggles up with.

Lana Del Rey could be sued by Radiohead as the band accuse the pop-star of copyright infringement over similar-sounding hit
- I mean out of all songs decide on Creep to rip and expect nothing happens?Beeswax
- lol what an idiot.fadein11
- lol what a creepGuyFawkes
- yup rippedutopian
- haha wow, that is incredible...kingsteven
- She could claim she's never heard Creep can't she? It's more possible than impossible that someone can create a song exactly the samemicrokorg
- .... Infinite monkey theorem.microkorg
- She is stupid for offering them 40% royalties in the first place even though she says it was not inspired by their song. That's admitting 40% guilt. lolmicrokorg
- turgid nonsense. radiohead should sue for defamationhans_glib
- First time I heard that song i thought it was inspired by Creep on purpose. Seems like they tried to steal it for free. Its a blatant rip off.Bennn
- I hear Can and Galaxie 500 are going to sue Radiohead for their entire back catalogue.face_melter
- And that Neu have been given special dispensation to kick each member of Radiohead in the pills before every live show.face_melter
- What Nue track did they rip off? There's a difference between influence and taking a melody.section_014
- all they had to do was pick up the phone and it would have likely been fine. they/she deserves it imhofadein11
- I was reading a bit about this, apparently Radiohead themselves were sued over ripping off another older song.yuekit
- https://www.youtube.…yuekit
- ^ And in fact those people won in court and now own part of the royalties of "Creep"yuekit
- ^ 2 years earlier (1972) Albert Hammond: https://www.youtube.…Krassy
- Seems like a lot of pop artists these days do this. But i like the song anyways********

- does anyone know if there is a specific reason?Fax_Benson
- lolmonospaced
- Surprised its taken so long. Sad but this day has been long coming for years.mugwart
- probably for this one:
https://www.youtube.…mugwart - he has clearly broken the terms of service and can appeal as he has done so. I have at least 5 fbook friends who are banned and reinstated on a regular basisfadein11
- delusions of grandeur lol, like Icke is a threat to anythingfadein11
- http://the18.com/sit…fadein11
- It's rather odd to join the instant ridicul brigade and throw in silly picture of lizards when no one can deny a good portion of what he's saying politically is********
- @set. Im really not one of those but his entire lifes work is tainted by a few ideas he now desperately tries to shake off.fadein11
- ...is completely correct. People need to know about that. You're helping truth to be ignored by spreading ridicule. Sad********
- He believes(ed) the elite are shapeshifting reptiles and all our reality is beamed from Saturns rings to our man made moon which is a satellite dishfadein11
- Come on now. His political dieas are not new or original. There are far more credible people saying exactly the same shit without all the whacko stuff thrown infadein11
- I am open minded... but as if Facebook or the elite or whatever grand conspiracy you believe in consider Icke a threat who does talks to emo students at £30 afadein11
- pop. He needs to continue distancing himself from his more whacko ideas to give himself some credibility.fadein11
- How is the image I shared ridicule if that's what he openly believes?fadein11
- If the elite are not blood sucking shape shifting vampire lizards ... I want my money back!mugwart
- its probably the only thing that makes sense anymore!mugwart
- and @fadein ... I side with set on this. I think we are seeing the ones at the "forefront" get taken down first. Something really seems to be on the horizon andmugwart
- they are stopping commutations/ thoughts that question their narrative.mugwart
- Iike is not the best, nor first but he is the best for people getting into this.mugwart
- he's not on the forefront though haha! if that was the case noam chomsky would be dead and buried. God, the internet world isn't the real world. It amplifiesfadein11
- people above their status. He would be a threat if 90% of uninformed people didn't consider him a loon...fadein11
- DISCLAIMER: he talks some sense but there are far more credible people saying exactly the same minus the insane shit :)fadein11
- You're right. Like who?********
- yes, I agree to a point. People have their doubts of noam. But his name attracts, thus sort of putting him at the forefront.mugwart
- if there is a game at hand then it is rigged. The ones 'sanitise' by the media might be part of the hand at play. Removing Iike does start to PC conspiracymugwart
- also to the crazy shit. I've seen my fair share of crazy shit. Till last Dec people would laugh at the idea of UFO's + government knowing.mugwart
- in this period of insanity I feel its best be "like water" and not grip on what we think is "real"mugwart
- Pilger, Chomsky, Palast, Johnson. They all discuss the same themes in far less whacko fashion. If you are focussing on peado elite then 100s of journalistsfadein11
- have written on the subject. He's a populist who throws the whacko in the mix for the attention. He ruins all his good ideas with his utter insanity.fadein11
- I think we should focus our gazes on the upper classes and not rip at each other if the world is flat or not. It's all distractions.mugwart
- He's a good speaker though, can clearly see why people follow him. He is an English gentleman to Alex Jones brash yank. And they both share their obsessionfadein11
- and desire to make big wads of cash from genuine tragedy. False flag off you twats!fadein11
- he has a problem with antisemitism. Particularly some of the people he attracts who see his output as shorthand for 'it's the jews' - maybe why the banzor?Fax_Benson
- mainstream aren't mentioning it. only other coverage is global conspiracy bias confirmation stuffFax_Benson
- I never got him as "jew" bashing. It baffles me that people reach that conclusion.mugwart
- @mugwart, like I said I am open minded and firmly believe/know the UAP phenomenon is real. But that doesn't mean it is aliens. Icke has gone too far too manyfadein11
- times to appeal to me now. But if he keeps distancing himself from his post breakdown material that opinion may change.fadein11
- Each to their own though. Back to my original point though, Facebook are not silencing Icke, all its doing is giving him more attention (great!)fadein11
- there are far better/clandestine ways of reducing his reach within the system without publicly banning him.fadein11
- I get this.mugwart
