Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia. Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won. Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history

Both Russell Brand and his wife are pure filth
Russell Brand, on video with his wife Laura Gallacher, jokes about his rape and sexual assault trial. Laura says “I got nervous before going to court the other day.” Russell replies jokingly “Why? What’s the problem?” Laura: “The nerves were actually that I’m not used to interfacing with uh well they weren’t really necessarily aggressive but when you get out of a car and there are people that are taking a picture, paparazzi, press, reporters, onlookers, just even people stopping in the street and suddenly like oh all swept up into a moment. Because it’s a moment, there’s a moment where you get out the car and there’s people there and they’re taking pictures. And I was absolute—and you know what’s funny? So I was just explaining to Russell about my sort of fascination with storms because we have been watching this storm…”
