Man linked to viral dress jailed for domestic abuse | Crime | The Guardian
Quote:
A man who gained online fame over a social media post about a dress that some people saw as black and blue and others said was white and gold, has been jailed for four-and-a-half years for domestic abuse.
Keir Johnston, who was accused of assaulting his wife, Grace, during years of abuse, was found to have pinned her to the ground and choked her during an argument at their home on Colonsay, an island in the Inner Hebrides, in March 2022.

Re: News Miscellany
So I guess Pope Francis said too many “faggy” males have been ordained to be priests? So much for the most tolerant pope.

US military psy-op spread anti covid vaccine disinfo
Quote:
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, a nation hit especially hard by the deadly virus.
The clandestine operation has not been previously reported. It aimed to sow doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other life-saving aid that was being supplied by China, a Reuters investigation found. Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vax campaign. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation.

Don't know about The Philippines, But a similar program sure seemed to work in the USA.

Excellent photo choice here. Putin looks like he's afraid Kim's going to eat him.

Re: News Miscellany
I wonder how many oil-based products were involved in the whole protest operation?
That would have involved planning, materials used in the manufacture and packaging of the "paint", the tools used to apply it, transport to the site, clothing worn by the protesters, and so on.
Also the oil-based products used by those carrying out any necessary clean-up operations.
Seems like the sort of protest that will mostly alienate those who might otherwise support a "stop oil" cause.

Re: News Miscellany
Oh indeed, if we found out they were astroturfed by big oil I wouldn't be surprised, the powder paint protests seem specifically designed to create a big photo op while being so easy to clean up or ignore to as never really monetarily inconvenience the rich. It's all a bunch of marketing stunts. I'm just waiting for Nike to release an all orange 'oil-free' sneaker in 2025 after receiving an award for best guerrilla marketing campaign.

Re: News Miscellany
Just Stop Oil seems like another protest group for people who just like protesting, in the vein of Extinction Rebellion (remember them?)
