Re: In today's news...
Recently, FIFA threatened to fine British football teams if they displayed the Poppy on their arm-bands, claiming the Poppy is a political icon. This is despite allowing the British teams to display the Poppy on their arm bands the last time they played on or near Remembrance Sunday.
Walp, today, FIFA has fined the British football teams, with England having the largest fine of about £40,000, which is tiny, represents they fact they followed through with the threat on a icon purely designed to represent and remember the war-dead of all nations involved.
Make of that as you will.

Re: In today's news...
Eventful day
And of course, a certain friend who is not a fan of the jews has already managed to trace the Russian ambassador's assassin back to a Turkish-Jewish family.
Apparently his last name means "Golden Stone", which came from medieval jews being ousted from hungarian etc towns and going down to what we now know as Turkey
Considering the guy yelled about allahsnackbar, I don't think you can rely on the whole 'jewish heritage' aspect here though
Edit for some other news
South Korea finds corpses on cult land
Lots of them, and apparently the police did nothing

Re: In today's news...
So in case you thought 2016 hasn't taken enough celebrities yet, Cracked has started compiling their list of most overlooked celebrity deaths of 2016. That's right, for everybody that was mourned by the internets, at least 2 more went out with nary a whisper about them.
EDIT: Also, the showrunner of NCIS, Gary Glasberg, died in September.
EDIT 2: Cracked's List part II, for completion's sake:

Apparently 2016 hasn't taken enough ANYBODY yet. Fucking hell.
Rule, don't remember if you're in Berlin proper or not, but hope things are okay in your neck of the woods.

2016 just claimed another familiar face. George Michael who many of you probably best know him as part of WHAM! has just passed away at the age of 53. May he rest in peace.

As the cuddlebuddy said, staying up on New Year's Eve to watch 2016 DIE.
Also, in case folk hadn't heard, apparently Carrie Fisher had a heart attack but she is currently listed as stable. That came up in conversation while at Rogue One today.

Re: In today's news...
2016 got George on Christmas Day, too - one of WHAM!'s most popular hits is "Last Christmas." If you needed any more proof that this year is a sentient, malevolent entity, there it is. Rest in peace, George Michael.
And lest we forget, a Russian plane crashed into the Black Sea, also on December 25th. 92 feared dead.

Re: In today's news...
Holy shiiiit, what the hell is going on. Rest in peace princess, you'll be remembered
Honestly, how many people have died this year already, either from illnesses or trucks, planes and bombs... This year will go down as the bloody 2016
Edit: A little something to offset, child patients at Nemours Hospital in Orlando saw elves and Santa cleaning the windows.

More deaths, don't open if you don't want to be put in bad mood if you recognize these people

Some of you might not know who these people are but Ricky Harris (the only one here I recognize), Richard Adams and Tricia McCauley passed away too.
