Ana Samways: Is Judith Collins doing her own tweeting? Danyl McLachlan: @JudithCollinsMP You're walking through a desert and you see a turtle lying on its back, struggling. You don't help it. Why is that? Judith Collins: @danylmc it's going to die anyway? Danyl: @anasamways @judithcollinsmp it's her alright.

Let's remember Judith Collins for that time Danyl performed the Voight-Kampff test on her to prove it was actually her running her Twitter account.

oh no you're fine mate!

look you were good okay! I've just had a rough time with it otherwise.

this is why I was always a bit skeptical about GET THERAPY/YOU NEED THERAPY as a clapback – therapists are expensive, and can be hard to find, and after all of that a lot of them are shit? Oh but sure I'll go outside and pick a perfect one off the therapist tree.

if only Carol looked straight to camera and said "this is eerily similar to the trauma that still follows me to this day, as though the whole world had become my own singular inescapable nightmare"

oh wait she did that?

made the mistake of looking at Pluribus discourse and people seem genuinely confused by why Carol doesn't like the hive ...

like if only she had a whole monologue about how she was a survivor of conversion therapy and smiling people trying to 'fix' her 'for her own good' reminded her of it

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

MY personal Crusher definitive moment was going to Backbenchers and seeing her and Marama Fox on camera together where neither of them was allowed to tell the other to fuck off so they instead got aggressively, increasingly Auntie Nice at each other

after decades in politics, Crusher's most definitive moments were 1) briefly becoming party leader, appointing a TERF as her comms manager, losing immediately, 2) trying unsuccessfully to push culture war shit and 3) somehow coming back from scandal after scandal like a roach

National's Judith Collins retires from politics, appointed Law Commission president First elected in 2002, Collins is one of the most experienced politicians in the government, and is now taking up the role of President of the Law Commission.

Crusher's gone, rip bozo

Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.

Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/

let's be clear about what's happening: firing Bovino isn't an acknowledgement that what they were doing is wrong, it was an attempt to deflect blame so they could carry on with the evil. Removing one man at the top has not fixed them, it is not enough, don't be fooled.

oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

don’t even think about getting off the gas. run it til they stop it. drop 60 on their heads

a bunch of lancer mech tokens, all printed, cut out, and glued to cardboard

I've been trying to figure out how to run Lancer in-person for a minute now, going through all these overcomplicated ideas with 3D print modular battlemaps etc and I just went ... okay but what if I just print everything I need, cut it out, and glue it to cardboard.

friends, this is a better idea

a traveler might still feet their fate

"surely my typos can't be THAT bad" she said, before opening up page 1 and immediately tripping over this

I wish they'd put the destructible/malleable environment stuff more front and center because it's one of their unique selling points and none of the marketing gave me any idea it existed

I think it did need more time and polish but otoh I played New Vegas on release, I've seen a buggy mess transmute into gold before and this is not *nearly* as bad as FNV was

I feel bad for the Highguard devs, it's not terrible, and it's definitely not ripping off Overwatch – it seems much more like it's trying to be a science-fantasy Rainbow 6 Siege. It's not perfect but if it hadn't been kneecapped by marketing drama I think it would've fared a lot better on launch.

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

insisting angrily to my editor that no, it's not a typo, I was only addressing deer readers

this man was threatening war with all of Europe, then when Europe said "okay man if you want war, war it's gonna be" and he dropped the issue instantly. He never planned to actually go to war, it was always just an empty threat, under the assumption his enemies would roll over.

yeah that was basically the argument "look I want to give you money, but I am not going to give you money for a 365 subscription. I will give you money if and only if you let me buy a single copy of MS Word. I will not be convinced. Do you want my money or not?"

One of the fatal flaws of MAGA is that they're utterly convinced their enemies are weak, pathetic and will give up instantly, so they plan for easy total victory and panic when encountering resistance. Trump's Greenland venture is so revealing; Europe said 'fuck off' and off he immediately fucked.

I think they do still sell MS Word as a 1-off purchase single product, the link is just unlisted and you need to be extremely annoying to them until they give up and link you the page

I believe it IS still possible to buy one (1) copy of Microsoft Word, not a subscription, not containing any other programs, you just need to a phone and a willingness to lock the fuck in
