Sorry about the delay, I had a chat in reserve, but it had ten or so images that won't work with vanilla cuz the links don't end in a picture extension, and then i gave pony a shot at it but he might be afk or something

no worries, the world ain't gonna end if there's twenty minutes without a chat thread.

The world is however, going to end in 2 minutes when the market opens...

RMS Oceanic

But what if it was 30 minutes, Jacob?

You know, now that I think about it I've never had a cannoli that was all that good. Maybe it's the ricotta that throws me off.

I should find somewhere I can watch my dreams of owning a home vanish in real time, along with any possibility of my niece paying for college.

Yeah, things are looking pretty grim... Did it just drop 200 points in like... 2 minutes, or am I seeing things.

A mixture of a controversial shooting, poor police management, simmering social tension with a dash of opportunistic rioting.

It seems to be mostly opportunistic rioting

do these people just lurk and wait for protests or what

is this the future: mobs that queue up to grab loot

At Tottenham Hale Retail Park, just south of the riot zone, the front windows of Currys, Comet, PC World and Argos were smashed in as dozens of looters pulled up in cars and packed their boots with flat-screen televisions, laptops and games consoles.

Others left wheeling shopping trolleys piled high with stolen goods in broad daylight. Every single mobile telephone was stolen from a branch of Carphone Warehouse, while looters formed an orderly queue outside JD Sports as they waited their turn to ransack the gutted store.

As it became increasingly clear that the police were nowhere to be seen, looters emerging from the shop with their arms full paused outside to try on stolen tracksuits and trainers and compare their spoils in the early morning sunshine.

Of course they queued. They may be looters but they're also British, dammit.

That actually isn't terribly uncommon. People told their broker "Sell this stock, Dawg!" on Friday and their broker was all "No can do, brosef. The market is closed." So all the trades get processed at 9:30 AM monday leading to shenanigans.

I had the Dow opening -290 in the pool.

how is everyone this morning

RMS Oceanic

Jeffrey Donaldson is somewhat of a goosey member of the DUP in Northern Ireland and in response to an ePetition signed by Daily Mail readers supporting bringing back the death penalty he has said he wants it for Terrorism.

As much as I am not suprised by his saying something like this, the stance still disconcerts me.

The Mage-Duke just looks so happy.

I just read this Charlie Brooker article and I kind of want to quote it all.

Of course, anyone proposing the use of the noose or the chair is guilty of moral cowardice anyway. Capital punishment is supposed to act as a deterrent, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on crime statistics. This is because most current executions a) employ methods that are as quick and efficient as possible and b) take place behind closed doors – almost as though the people doing it are ashamed of themselves.

What sort of half-arsed half-measure is that? Cold logic dictates that the only way to turn capital punishment into an effective deterrent is to make each killing as drawn-out and public as possible. Maximum agony, maximum publicity. Anything less is a cop-out – and death penalty supporters should have the stones to say so. Stop this placatory talk about breaking people's necks gently with rope. Go the whole hog.

"Chaotic" and "Paladin" sounds like an oxymoron to me, but then I remember Unearthed Arcana and it's all good.

Just don't accidentally shoot the guy who challenges you to bird hunting contests, because you rode past him and heard him shoot and thought he was shooting at you...

Don't be surprised when the people who are the most enamored with the death penalty graciously accept.
