But the most famous one is a tourist attraction! So they’re just trying to emulate that and get some tourist pennies.

I... like that brightly colored figurine? >.>
It doesn't look horribly mangled or anything. It's just brightly colored. There are certainly worse examples of THIN YOUR PAINTS. This one looks like it was actually done with some care, which is about as much as I'd expect from a non-professional.

I  half suspect that might be the case. The one which became a tourist attraction? They made lots of money. So much money that in fact the priest in charge of the church is now in prison after he was found to have embezzled more than 180.000€. Also the media are overeager to report supposed half-assed restorations after the buzz, real or imagined. So yeah, mangling centuries-old heritage goods is the new ice-cube challenge, it seems.

"Lol we just destroyed priceless heritage WOOPS so dumb come pay us a visit"

At least this figurine painting at least resembles how stuff was painted in across pretty much across all of history except very recently. Churces were painted in bright gaudy colours exactly like that.

My concern here is the properties of the paints damaging the material of the figurine.

OH NO NO NO NO NO

Jeremy Corbyn “showed off” a naked Diane Abbott to impress his Left-wing friends when he was a young Labour activist, a new book has revealed.
The Labour leader invited fellow activists to his London flat where they were “shaken” to find Ms Abbott in his bed, one of his friends recalled.

Is this the same politician who got stuck with the claim that he stuck his penis into a severed pigs head or something? Or maybe that was a different politician, I forget.

Nah that was Cameron

Right. It simply reminded me of that similarily out there claim.

[scriver]

He did do it to impress his friends though. If he did it.

Which of course he did. This is English universities we're talking about here.

Anybody have a good place to watch the Swedish election results? Preferably with a map.

[hector13]

Sweden

lol

Guardian has coverage, but no map:

I was planning on posting the results when it was over.

I predict the Sweden Democrats becoming the weighmasters of the new government, resulting in a right-wing coalition government between the four parties thay have worked together since the last rwo decades (calling themselves the Alliance) that while they nominally refuse to let SD be a part of it still require SD's blessing to not fall. Then, somewhere down the line, SD will attempt to use that power to pull the rug out from under the coalition and cause a crisis of government with the goal of breaking up the Alliance and then being able to work more closely with the less staunchly neo-liberal parties (which is all parties except the falsely named Centerpartiet, which is the in my opinion furthest right wing (but not the most conservative) lparty in Sweden). Next election after this will see SD grow to second biggest party in the riksdag.

The attackers screamed at terrified Emilia Orpana calling her a whore and a racist as she campaigned in Nynäshamn, 35 miles south of Stockholm.

antifa here to save you from pregnant ladies

When it became clear Ms Orpana was being threatened, members of the other parties present at the polling station came running to help out.

Ms Orpana said: “I feel grateful to my colleagues from the other parties for running over to help.

“It was a fine democratic act. They showed that any act of violence is not acceptable no matter whom you’re voting for.”

Good job Sweden
