This could be wrong. Looks like someone has changed their mind
It is my understanding that the Qatar #MotoGP race will be cancelled. As of this moment, no replacement. But as I understand it, preparations are being made at one circuit just in case (no, not Sepang), but it will only happen if Qatar foots the bill for the race.

No shade on Stark, who build amazing bikes, but the obsession of motorcyclists and motorcycle manufacturers with black is peak loser shit. Fucking perk up lads, paint something nice bright colours instead of going with Danny Tommo's favourite shade of arsehole.

I think the response of politicians to the Piddington "independence" vote should be "Stop being racist twats you fucking bellends. Your women and children are more at risk from Pervy Steve, whose daughter won't let him see his grandkids because of what he did to her."

Without permits, the piddish brutes will not be able to do the manual labour that comes naturally to them and with all that time on their hands surely they will creep into God's English Horton Cum Studley to have their filthy piddish ways.

I hope security measures are put in place to keep the good honest English folk of Horton Cum Studley safe from the filthy foreign devils of Piddington. As was made clear to me yesterday, you can't just have foreign men near English women unattended, who knows what the Piddish savages will do.

And we already know the study’s results were falsified, that those playing guards were instructed to brutalize ti get that result, & when a similar study was taken without that manipulation, those in the guard role were kind. But refutations never circulate as far as convenient false findings. 😔
This is pointless and gross.
The Stanford prison experiment already stands on its own. And the reason it was never performed again is because it’s completely unethical by today’s standards.
We already know things are bad. Making it into entertainment is disgusting.

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’.
The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.
