Masterful gambit

Gotta say, I will NOT be hiring Himmler the Clown for any more of my children’s parties

It really does look like him

Looooooooooll

I had a friend who used to work at Nobody Writes to the Colonel

“Rob Schneider is . . . a Bitcoin!”

I think “best fucking planet” for accuracy. Otherwise no notes

Nardwuar hands me a polaroid of a closed coffin. "What is... is that me?" He's doing that face to the camera. "Is that me Nardwuar?"

Yeah, that’s fair! I could be less obscure with the references I make. That’s feedback I’ve sensed elsewhere

A screenshot of the lyrics to “Roll to Me,” by Del Amitri, from 1995: *(highlighted) Look around* your world, pretty baby Is it everything you hoped it'd be? The wrong guy, *(highlighted) the wrong situation* The right time to roll to me Roll to me

Oh, maybe there’s another Del Amitri song that was big? This is the one that was big in Canada. Our 90s rock charts are sometimes wonky compared to the US ones, both with CanCon and I think we were a test market for some labels

Sounds like the wrong situation

You sure? Did you “look around”?

Sorry, what’s that?

If the Beatles were recording in the early 2000s

Being American means never having to say you’re sorry

This weird performative thing you’re doing where you’re exclamatorily pretending not to understand, as you clearly actively try not to, isn’t cute or endearing. It makes you look foolish, like you think wilful ignorance is a good strategy for life

Nah, you have been sorely miseducated. The revolutionary war was fought 1) by rich smugglers who didn’t like tariffs being *reduced* so they couldn’t make as much on the black market, 2) to preserve slavery, 3) to ensure yr continued genocidal expansion 4) because they hated the French & Catholics

Honore de ballsack? No thanks, I’ll pass!

I believe “they’retrynabuildaprison, they’retrynabuildaprison, they’retrynabuildaprison.”

Absolute worst case of star-spangled burgerbrain I’ve ever seen

Oh interesting. Did most places require years of brutal war to end slavery? Or was that mostly a ‘you-guys’ thing?

This post, before I got blocked, was about how sure, America had committed countless atrocities, but it had also fought a civil war to free the slaves

Most places, it didn’t take a war, much less four years of total or near-total war

Also arguably the Revolution was fought to preserve slavery. So.

Lolllll k

“But how come nobody applauded when I *stopped* shitting in the drinking water?” Buddy—

At least!

just practising good security culture

I hear they’re throwing up on the carpet

A Twitter thread of Richard Dawkins talking to another user. >Richard Dawkins @RichardDaw... @pknocker40 If you were blocked, it must have been a mistake., sorry. Unblocked now. >pknocker40 @pknocker40 @RichardDawkins Thanks, RD. Since I've got you, do you care to answer the question I posed? >Richard Dawkins @RichardDaw... @pknocker40 Please repeat your question >pknocker40 @pknocker40 @RichardDawkins Would you touch a poop for $20? >Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins @pknocker40 Oh yes I did block you for that, and I now do so again. good

That guy asking Richard Dawkins if he’d touch a poop for $20 after a bunch of his friends asked him to unblock him

Leader of political party has different politics from leader of different political party. Shocking
