- Shoot dem coronaz!AQUTE
- Such a philanthropist lolAQUTE
- You do realize Bill hasn’t been an employee there for a long time right AQ? This is not related to his massive phalanthropic efforts over the years.monospaced
- However uncle Bill owns billions in Microsoft stock, he just left the board of directors last year and still does consultant work for Microsoftutopian
- Cool. But not relevant. Everyone who has stock profits. Including me. Has nothing to do with him or me. It’s just a contract. Derp.monospaced
- I like Bill Gates a lot and I believe that he done and continues to do a lot for humanity. Let's see if he sells off his Microsoft stock.utopian
- I invested in $MSFT and my stock is UP. ThanksBennn

https://s-media-cach…set - he didn't drive into parliament.fadein11
- according to bbc, the suspect is no longer an "a middle-age Asian man with a knife" now he's just a "middle-aged man with a knife"robotron3k
- Either way, some folks day has been ruined - and it could so easily have been any of us. so it sucks.fruitsalad
- I wonder if "it" identified as a "white" "man" of "middle" "age" before "they" shot "it"robthelad

- (in that the water at top of photo implies this is just to the south west of Westminster Bridge, at the corner of The HP)detritus
- thats not around parliament (graffiti and photo angle). This is the bridge. So this looks like a victim, poor fucker.mugwart
- Maybe that guy with the banana leg is a tourist who jumped to avoid being run over?HAYZ1LLLA
- yep that is a victim of the vehicle hence the broken leg.fadein11
- usual car crash of news 'reporting' as reporters fall over themselves to file some story before they know all (or any) of the facts.

- someone posted the coordinates of the Big Ben in morse code yesterday at 4chan with a gun picture https://twitter.com/…ernexbcn
- Does that sort of thing happen regularly at 4Chan though? I mean — could it've been a lucky guess by someone cognizant of the anniversary of the Belgian attack?detritus
- Amazing...but when the west drop bombs on villages to kill Al-Qaeda...but kills dozens of families instead...no front page video or graphics.utopian
- utop - precisely - but all innocent death is tragic isn't it.fadein11
- Well, no. Not 'precisely' at all. This is an aggression against an international democratic institution. Of course it's more newsworthy to Westerners.detritus
- I read his message a little more deeply than that... of course it will make headlinesfadein11
- More deeperly how exactly?detritus
- have you ever tought of having a picture of yourself badly injured or even dead everywhere on the web?Bennn
- @det - it's pretty obvious what he was saying - more value is given to western lives who are victims of the blowback from god awful western foreign policy, thanfadein11
- the original victims. What don't you understand? This is basic stuff. In regard to the headlines in papers yes of course they will report western victims. Sorryfadein11
- struggling to see why you don't get the point being made.fadein11
- And as I said in my original comment - all loss of innocent life is tragic so perhaps not the time to be making that point.fadein11
- but it's a superfluous point?
obviously i see the ephemeral, facile consideration being made, but you think that has any bearing?detritus - You think abu fuckcuntington there had any personal basis to attribute his actions to bunches of nomads being incidentally obliterated?detritus
- ie. do you justify whatever point this shallow cunt of a human being might begin to profess to have? idiotic, poisoned and misguided as it is?detritus
- oh man you've lost me now... he was making a point about the shit media. We all feel the tragedy. Stop looking for a pointless argument pal.fadein11
- Aye, sorry, that was a bit drunk and off-track. But seriously though — this is obv. going to be of orders of magnitude difference in interest..detritus
- *hicdetritus
- Precisely was the wrong use of word on my part... But UK news has reached new levels of shit lately, there was an air of entertainment about it all onlyfadein11

Female traffic light signals to go up at pedestrian crossing as Committee for Melbourne tackles 'unconscious bias'
- I'd say just use a green foot icon for go but that would probably offend legless people the same way obama offended brainless people.kona

- no dudes or LGBT shall pass!moldero
- Why isn't this gender stereotyping that all females wear dresses?BabySnakes
- Id suggest 4 foot in a circle as the new walk signal.pango
- PC culture is an expansive case study in ignorance.
Though a consolation golf clap for meaning well.SteveJobs - but not all women wear skirts. The previous 'stickmen' looked gender neutral to me, it's simply a very condensed and simplified illustration of a person.fruitsalad
- Where do the MEN cross?robthelad
- I have been having this argument for years regarding the people icons I developed for the firm. Stick figures that some snowflakes insist are males. SMHmonospaced
- It's a human walking. Not a man or woman, a person. The head is a circle and there are legs and arms. It's not like there's a penis.monospaced
