After A Weekend In Hiding Macron Emerges From His Hole To Piss People Off Again
French tyrant Macron decided to attempt quelling the popular revolt against his regime by offering "gibs me dats" to the French people. In four weeks the Yellow Jackets got Macron to offer more concessions than the local trade unions had in four decades, with Macron egregiously breaking a campaign promise not to surrender anything to street demonstrators. Response to Macron's offer appears to largely be negative as it is a continuation of Macron's supplication streak triggering disgust at a primal level in healthy persons (archived).
Over the weekend riot police maimed numerous protestors taking out eyes with their domestically produced "Flash-ball" firearms while other protestors lost hands to smoke grenades. Across the Channel the ongoing Brexit, but not really Brexit impasse continues as the deadline marches on towards a hard Brexit.

Tumblr Announces Porn Ban Beginning December 17th, Tumblr Anti-Porn AI Already Running Wild
Pornographic image hosting service Tumblr announced they would be banning porn from their platform on December 17th, and they have already set loose a porn banning AI on their platform to lulzy results (archived). Not only is the AI apparently incapable of telling porn boobs from medical or arts boobs, it can't distinguish puppies and kitties from pussy. Tumblr's ban on pornography comes shortly after Tumblr's app was banned from Apple's appstore following the discovery Apple employees were viewing child pornography on Tumblr.
Tumblr brands itself as a mid-micro blogging platform and its userbase is composed of hamplanets viewing softcore fetish porn, Mircea Popescu sharing normal porn found in the wild, and apparently Apple employees viewing child porn produced by and for law enforcement.
