new leaks. Called the Paradise Papers

The world’s biggest businesses, heads of state and global figures in politics, entertainment and sport who have sheltered their wealth in secretive tax havens are being revealed this week in a major new investigation into Britain’s offshore empires.

The details come from a leak of 13.4m files that expose the global environments in which tax abuses can thrive – and the complex and seemingly artificial ways the wealthiest corporations can legally protect their wealth.

again, I expect the world to collectively shrug

yee-haw. Call me cynical but it can only be hours before some apologist for the NRA suggests that "if we armed the priests with semi-automatics, then this wouldn't have happened".

The yanks insistence on the right of every fucking headbanger to own military grade hardware will inevitably continue to lead to shit like this.

Compare to what an actual civilised country, Australia, did in the aftermath of their own mass gun murder.

[Wombatman]

The speed of destruction of Kevin Spacey has definite echos of how quickly you'd expect the life of Frank Underwood to collapse.

He was so convincing in that show that you'd read some of the stories and think 'yep, that sounds like something Kev would do'.

In other news...
In the last 48 hours - Lebanese PM flees to Saudi, ballistic missile ‘shot down’ near Riyadh, Saudi princes arrested, more princes in air crash.
Something going on methinks

Are you suggesting Australia's response might be more effective that saying "Our thought and prayers are with the people of insert name of latest mass shooting location here right now"?

I'd imagine Uma was way too advanced in her career around Kill Bill for this to have been an issue then. Say it was well before that if she's talking about something happening to her.

Kill Bill?
Are you forgetting her break-out role a decade earlier?

Of all the revelations I was mostly shocked that Weinstein was only in his mid 60's. Thought he would be pushing 80. And Michael Colgan being hetrosexual, never would have thought that..

Trump being all rapey is the subject, keep up m8.

Wrong. The subject was Meryl Creep.

[Raoul Duke III]

Trump saying how lucky it was that one of the congregation had a gun on him and was able to fire back at the shooter or else this could have been a whole lot worse.

There's a script for these incidents and everyone is delivering their lines bang on cue.

Bottom line: Americans are comfortable with the trade-off between the Second Amendment and (wholly preventable) gun deaths. We shouldn't argue our own viewpoint onto them but equally we shouldn't bother sympathising any more when these massacres happen.

I haven't offered my thoughts and prayers. That's the way we show them.

While I would obviously agree with the yanks ditching the guns, how would it work in practice, depend of every wackjob to turn in their arsenal or raid every house in country to confiscate. Australia at the time had citizens who wanted to change their gun laws, America doesn't have that to same degree

[eamonhonda]

Agree on the not sympathising anymore, beyond a fucking joke at this point and they refuse to change. Can't help feel sorry for the few sane people over there though.

In lighter news, where would I get a full list of Dublin pubs, as up to date as possible?

It'd be pretty much impossible to do now over there. Controlling future sales better is the best they can do, and that would be mostly irrelevant for years given how many guns there are there now. Horse has bolted on that one. If they tried to get Billy Bob Jim Bob's guns from him, he'd kill to stop it.

Yeah it's much too late. Although some change in legislation to at least pretend they care about losing ridiculous number of their citizens to guns would be an idea.

Poker Training Sites - which ones still exist?

https://www.runitonce.com/register/plans-and-pricing/

Basic for free, I used it when it first came out, essential was 10$ a month at the time. I couldn't be sure exactly what free access gives you but a couple of years ago there was some interesting stuff.

https://www.upswingpoker.com

Doug Polk has this site.

I know some pros on twitch review interesting hands from their session, I don't follow any myself but perhaps Flushdraw might know a few.

I think Twitch has kind of taken over the poker training type sites to a point. I'm sure loads still exist but level of activity I couldn't be sure.

Yeah as Brady says, the 2 sites above from Galfond and Doug Polk are good. Plenty of PLO content on Runitonce and Polk has Jnandez plus others for his PLO content. Runitonce adds a lot of content daily too. The majority of Upswing is aimed at beginner/newer players rather than advanced technique but not sure if that has changed recently. Decusescracked is still on the go too if you want something reliable. Bar tournamentpokeredge which is spouted around on Twitch ads, then not sure who else are market leaders.

Burial - Untrue out 10 years!

Such a great album, tweet from Zomby earlier this year summed it up:

"Nobody sounds like burial and nobody sounds like Aphex twin

And that's my friends is the gospel"


Wish he'd release another album instead of dripfeeding us singles

Singles have been nowhere near same quality anyway but one can hope for another album. Burial in headphones on a dark night always seems perfect

Dravel Tunper is my favourite at the moment. His album Watermark Skidrow has to be experienced, not heard.

Felt pretty old reading that Untrue was 10 years old.

Have to be on drugs to listen to a lot of that but the metal gear solid one is cool.


Amazon are getting pretty bad, I was gonna add some soup to an order but you can only buy it if you are a prime member now lmao.

I'm sure it's been covered but why is prime not really worth it and available in Ireland?

RTE 2fm have 238k followers on twitter yet their posts get hardly any likes. The follower accounts have thousands of accounts that have never posted and a disproportionate number of non Irish sounding names. Bot central. Pretty much verging on fraud if it turns out they engineered this and then charge advertisers higher rates based on it. Source: RTE secret producer.

They charge advertiser's based on Twitter followers? I'd imagine an awful lot of companies have bought followers and ran bots to boost profiles. Like everything else the secret producer has released its no surprise

Catholic nun blocks unmarried mother’s promotion to deputy principal

A catholic nun intervened to block the leading candidate from securing the deputy principal position at a school, because the candidate had a baby outside of marriage.

It has also emerged that an interview panel at a second school run by the Catholic education trust Ceist allegedly downgraded the scores of the most eligible candidate because he was a Protestant.

As a result, the male teacher was pushed down the ranks from first place to third position and failed to get the job.
