But her earlier stuff is dope. Missed the opportunity to see her a few years ago as tickets were nearly a hundred quid each which I thought was a rip off. I then saw a documentary afterwards about the gig and it had these crazy giant one of a kind sculpted instruments imported from Iceland, a hundred quid would've been a bargain!

Li Ziqi raises silkworms to make grandmother silk quilt and silk pajamas

(, Fri 10 May 2019, 16:47, Reply)
Super relaxing.
'Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.
To produce 1 kg of silk, 104 kg of mulberry leaves must be eaten by 3000 silkworms. It takes about 5000 silkworms to make a pure silk kimono.

That's amazing
I've never seen the silk from the cocoons just stretched out to a massive sheet - it's got incredible properties. I thought it was always pulled off the cocoon in a single thread, which in itself seems quite implausible - it's bad enough trying to undo a small ball of tangled string. Now I'm wondering how the hell they find the start of the thread - time for a bit of research!

They always leave out that crucial part.
I think the larva extrudes a mess back and forth on twigs before making the cocoon to hold it in place on the bush. I think that's where they start.

Of course - it has to attach the end to something!
Cheers for that - I read that they use a brush on the wet cocoon to find the end, but on its own that doesn't give much detail. If there's going to be a thicker bit where it was joined to the twig I can see how it would work. I still find it incredible that you can pull the single thread off without it snagging or getting tangled.

It doesn't age well
But then again nothing from that period does because the world has changed too and the simple, music hall slapstick seems tired and dated. Even classic comedy like Monty Python leaves me cold now when I know I found it hilarious when I watched it live. I doubt most of the the things we laugh at today will age well either, the Little Britain team already cringe over what they did not so long ago.
Having said all that, I think it misses the point to judge old TV by the standards of today, tastes change and humour gets more sophisticated. So I'm telling myself I'm wrong to be so harsh on it as well, you have to remember what it was like when you saw it for the first time as a kid. And thinking about it that way, I enjoyed Starr's unpredictability in live performance, but the filmed stuff never really worked. It doesn't capture the manic behaviour. It seems old hat now but you really didn't know what he would do next and that was truly exciting back then.
As for his personal life, I am sure he could be a dick, but judging behaviour (and I mean non-criminal behaviour) by today's standards won't give you any insight into how someone compared to those around them, although it may make you feel morally superior if that's what you are looking for.

Either he intended the message to only be seen by Jess Philips,
or he intended it to be seen by his followers, and he must know that his fans will pile on because they always do. I mean, why else would he put "Please do not contact the subjects of any of my videos, ever" on his YouTube channel if he wasn't looking to shirk responsibility for something he knows will happen anyway - it's a shitty disclaimer. And if he didn't expect his fans to see the message, what response do you think he wanted to his 'joke' in the first place?
Besides, he @ed in someone with something he knew would upset her, which I'd say *contextually* makes it not "clearly intended as a throwaway joke".
He's a bully. Most bullying behaviour is technically 'jokes' - bullies laugh when they bogwash someone. I'm not sure when something being a joke became an excuse for anything. I wouldn't read it as a *literal* rape threat, but I would read it as malicious communications.

Any entertainment organisation can fire anyone at any time, on the basis of public opinion... from a commercial point of view an entertainer's entire purpose is to be popular, and if they're not popular it is not tenable to keep them (though they should have just said that, rather than pretending the tweet was racist).
The problem is intentionally selecting the worst possible interpretation of some facts specifically to paint someone in a bad light, and shouting down any attempt by a person to clarify what they mean because that would require the media to admit that they'd jumped to conclusions and got it wrong.
He mentioned the trustpilot scores of the top 3 television news organisations and none of the papers, but they're not on his side in the slightest. The daily mail has wasted no time; they've already smeared him as a pedo... as has the sun and the mirror. He was referring to all of them, and they know that and they've brought out the biggest gun they can.

I'm not sure they are clones of him exactly, I've met his type before
debating society tory pricks at sixth form, my uni housemate's cunt friend from school who is apparently "a fucking ledge", the loudest one from an obnoxious group of posh backpackers at a hostel in Budapest, there are many of them around, think it just takes that mixture of arrogance, selfishness, cruelty and pig-headedness public schools seem to nurture in some people.

I'd say that the biased companies
which pretend like they're not biased, are considerably more of a problem than someone who is open about the fact they're biased. He's not in any way pretending to be non partisan
Also, what false information has he disseminated?

Check this one

Here he is making an absolute dogs dinner of loads of unrelated concepts.
You can tell he's on the conspiracy version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School#Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory because he's talking about the critique of the enlightenment, and attacks on rationalism itself.
Frighteningly similar to the core aspect in the Nazi's anti Jewish rhetoric that led them into a war aimed at wiping out the 'threat to western civilization'.
The guy thinking reading something in a sarcastic voice, and then scoffing makes him an intellectual. Best case he doesn't know shit, worst case he know's what he's doing and is muddying the waters for actual Neo Nazi cunts.

Yeah he appears to have some pretty weird views.
I don't agree with them. Though a guy sarcastically scoffing without any input is kinda par for the course round here though, so I can't really knock it too much.

Pretty weak defense imo
He's entertaining perhaps, but he's also a gatekeeper into a downward spiral of scum, it all starts with his main lesson which is teaching people to skim read and then dismiss opponents out of hand. As if mindless scorn were a meaningful response.
It's the antithesis of critical thought.
It's your life and all, but the more you watch him, the angrier and stupider you'll get.
Why not learn, or create something new instead?

It's true there is a bunch of unwatched Tommy Robinson in my feed.
Incidentally I've not watched him much. Just this and maybe half of two other videos, which were considerably less interesting.
I don't think there's any particular risk to my critical faculties, since I don't really agree with much of what I heard. But I'm not prepared to dismiss everything someone says out of hand just because of other things they've said or who they associate with, and that goes equally for this guy as it does for people at the other end like John McDonnell.

Channel 4 are professional journalists who try to tell truths, maybe they don't always do it well but they at least try.
His "I'm not pretending to be non-partisan" thing is the same thing Trump peddles, "they're all crooks, so vote for the one who puts it all out in the open" - but the thing is they aren't all crooks, some are better and some are worse, why on earth would you choosing to go for the worst one of all instead of doing your duty as a human and using your judgement?

He's been horribly outmanoeuvred though
All he knows is the internet. He thinks that tabloid journalists are thick and can be played. But they're more intelligent than their broadsheet counterparts, with added ruthlessness and they (unlike a YouTuber) genuinely shape opinion. For anyone in public life, they are to be feared above all else.
There's no equivalent in America, so Trump sailed through. But in the UK, no-one insults the tabloids with impunity (except Coogan and Hugh Grant, whose careers are set and who both know the worst is out there). UKIP are fucked now. And Farage - who's wise to the game, and who is a very great deal more sinister than Akkad/Dankula - slips effortlessly into the voice of Brexit reason and, soon perhaps - blessed be the day - into power...

They're on an ever-downward trajectory, I agree
But let's say the King of YouTube, Pewdiepie, stood for election. He'd get nowhere. Voters are conservative. They don't like rape jokes, they don't know who Pewdiepie is, they fear change that they don't understand. That Black Mirror episode seems prescient after Trump, but it's bollocks.
