Gen-X remainer. I post a lot about politics. I’d like a world where I could post more about Perl and programming, but it’s been a while since my anger at Brexit and this UK government has left space for that. #remain #european #fbpe

I guess there’s a reason we have laws and stuff around habeas corpus.

I don’t think I’ve actually had a £50 note in my life. But then I’m not a drug dealer

It’s a bit like in game of thrones when long term good girl queen of dragons went all mad and burned down the castle at kings landing. And like in GoT they’ve no fucking idea how to end this storyline.

And the make up department seriously needs to be fired. Anyway the weird bit is that the orange guy has an army of dudes that used to be fairly respectable and fought Nazis, but now they’re fighting as if they are the Nazis, without rules of war and shit.

I’m watching this series called the news, and recently the writing has gone really down hill. The mad king of america has attacked long term bad people the iranians. But the king of america used to be played by this awesome black dude, and now he’s played by this angry orange guy

The term is “special military operation”

Well I’ve just discovered what happens with just a minor cut on Clopidogrel and aspirin.

Pretty sure if a nuclear bomb went off in my back yard I wouldn’t care or be around much to notice.

'Blood rain' and fiery sunsets as Saharan dust sweeps UK North African dust carried to the UK by a weather system are forecast to have some unusual effects in the coming days.

Not to worry folks about literal signs of the end of the fucking world, but they are predicting the sky on fire and blood rain in london.

It's so healing to hear someone say this with confidence & out loud (rather than feel the need to pander to the far-right's xenophobia).

They’re only use is to out spend your opponent to force them to try to match you in dick waving abilities and bankrupt them in the process

To use them is to expose the immediate flaw in the system, that blowing up a 20,000 dollar drone with a 4 million dollar missile makes as no sense at all.

The whole point of expensive weapons systems isn’t to actually use them. It’s to point at them in a Cold War dick waving competition to say hey big boy do you want some of this? You’d never actually use them because they’re too bloody expensive.

There’s a movement to draft Barron Trump, but I think a campaign such as this would be more effective if it impacted someone Donald Trump knew personally.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

First you burn your opponents missles on cheap zones, then you hit them with the heavy stuff.

Yeap. I score heavily on the avoidant relationship scale. That whole “no one is home, no one is coming to save you, get on with it” thing obviously cut quite deep.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him.

He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.
