The Daily Blog Open Mic – Tuesday 28th May 2019
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
The day science usurped jingoism.
All due to a man, who if the jingos had had their way, would have likely been sent to and even possibly killed in the fiercest fighting of \World War One, instead of sailing to Africa to make one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time.

….on November 6, 1919, the front page of the Times of London was full of stories about war and remembrance. It was only a few days before the first anniversary of the armistice, and King George V had just issued an invitation for all workers to take two minutes of silence out of their day to remember and honor “the glorious dead.” But to the right of these stories appeared an article about rebirth and renaissance. In a triple-decker headline, the normally staid Times wrote: “Revolution in Science / New Theory of the Universe / Newtonian Ideas Overthrown.”
Bored and annoyed. Imagine living in a world full of small children who are never going to grow up.
