    ‘Sickening and appalling’: British soldier beheaded with machete in suspected London terrorist attack
    A brazen, brutal attack near a military barracks in London on Wednesday afternoon left one man dead and two suspects in the hospital in what British Prime Minister David Cameron said appeared to be a terror-related incident.

    The attack occurred in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from the Royal Artillery Barracks.

    Two men reportedly attacked another man. Witnesses said the two men were shot by police and a number of weapons – including butchers’ knives – could be seen on the street, which was splattered by blood.

    French President Francois Hollande, speaking at a press conference in Paris with Cameron, said it was a British soldier who was killed. (ITV)

      Ken Tucker reviews the new album from Daft Punk, Random Access Memories:

      I freely admit that, until the new Random Access Memories, I wasn’t much of a fan. I could appreciate the craft and imagination that went into creating the French duo’s mixture of electronic genres — techno, house, disco — but the mechanical repetitions and heavily filtered vocals didn’t turn me on in any other way. But now, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have come up with an album that exposes the human side of their musical impulses. It’s the equivalent of removing the helmet-masks the pair invariably wears in public performances. Random Access Memories is a collection filled with music that suggests mad romance, heartache and an embrace of the past that’s never merely nostalgic or sentimental.

            Neat moment at the Webbys last night. Fresh off the $1.1 billion sale of his company, David Karp was there with his mother, Barbara. Though I’d never met her before, Barbara came over to my seat and gave me the world’s biggest hug. She kept saying: “I am so, so proud of you.”
            I said to David: “Your mom just made me feel like the most special guy in the world.”
            He said: “That’s how she’s made me feel my whole life.”

            I attest to the veracity of this.

            We adore you, Barbara.

              Man Killed In Horrible London Machete Attack, Racist Brits Would Like To Kill A Few Billion More

              What do you do when a man is killed in the streets where you live? According to some wonderful humans, you call for the mass slaughter of all those who practice the same religion that the killers may practice!

              There was a horrific attack today in Woolwich in southeast London. Two men attacked another man, who is believed to be a soldier, and then beheaded him with a machete. Literally, what the fuck.

              It is being called a terrorist attack and it is said that they are Islamic extremists because someone told some guy who told his brother’s uncle who works for the BBC that they heard them shout “Allahu Akbar.” Well, ok. If you insist. Saying these things certainly won’t fan the flames in jolly old England…

              image

              Now, if you can take your attention away from the very alarming #BeliebersWantToBeYourSmileJustin hashtag trend, you will see “Allahu Akbar,” “EDL,” “Muslims,” etc. trending. Shit. This can’t be good…

              Ah, the English Defense League! I knew they’d show up here. They’d like you all to take to the streets (and take to the streets to look for whom I wonder?). But I mean, who listens to those crazy EDL folks anyway?

              image

              Make a stand? Make a stand against WHO?

              Hint: They would like you all to take to the streets and attack random people who you think are Muslim.

              Hint #2: If you don’t know who is a Muslim, they would like you to assume it’s anyone with skin darker than your own.

              Now, usually, I do a good job of picking out the majority of the absolute worst crap I find. But there was just SO MUCH, I had to be a little more picky this time…

              I would like to pause for a second here and note that there seems to be a strong hatred for people from Pakistan, whom they call “pakis.” I can’t tell if they are just making the assumption this man is from Pakistan or they seem to think “paki” is a religion or if they think “paki” automatically equals “Muslim” or…wait….WHY AM I EVEN TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THEIR LOGIC.

              These are some pretty terrible tweets, but if you want to see the REALLY HORRIBLE shit, you’re not going to find it on Twitter. Nope. Because you see, these heroic race crusaders who want to take to the streets and fuck shit up…were frightened of the blowback they were receiving from their racists words and deleted their tweets. But, sadly for them, you can’t run from something once it’s been posted on the internet…

              No mass genocide of an entire population because of the actions of few men? WHAT’S WRONG WITH US!

              “See I’m not racist! I just want to kick out the terrorists! How do we tell who is a terrorist? Why, that’s easy! We just kick out anyone who doesn’t look like me!”

                      Chicago School Board closes 49 schools, largest closing in US history

                      Chicago Tribune: After hearing from aldermen, angry parents and community members in a meeting interrupted several times by protesters, the Chicago Board of Education approved a plan to close 49 elementary schools and one high school program.

                      The board voted 4-2 to close Von Humboldt Elementary, then unanimously approved the rest of the closings in a single vote.

                      Before that, the board voted 6-0 to approve a last-minute recommendation by the district to spare four elementary schools.

                      After more than two hours of public comments, Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and board members defended the plan to close the highest number of schools the city has ever shut down in a single year.

                      The district says it needs to close schools to address a looming $1 billion deficit and declining enrollment.
