And so the lunacy begins.
"Trump indicates he is open to RFK Jr’s proposal to ban vaccines if elected".

@gjkendall @for_fi Also, when I say exorcism I'm referring to the Deliverance Ministry of the Anglican church. It is a very solid English church that downplays the supernatural, but is open to psychological and spiritual problems. The books walk a tightrope between the supernatural and secular.

[Geckodancing @geckodancing1]

@gjkendall @for_fi The series -after the 1st book - are to exorcism what police procedural thrillers are to policing.
The 1st book is different. Some people skip it, but it does set up the characters that he uses for the rest of the series. I would suggest trying the first two before dropping them.

SCOOP: America PAC door knockers were flown to Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised they were working to elect Donald Trump.

Alan Moore going off on toxic fandom and how it's set the stage for Trump and fascism, pump it in my veins

It wasn’t leaked audio because she was at a public meeting, quoting a song. The guy running against her actually does have leaked audio and the audio is so racist that everyone asked him to resign in 2022. Even Biden chimed in and called for a resignation. What are we doing here

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. https://t.co/qVjkbiGQY3

Remembering the great English singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl who was born on this day in Croydon in 1959. She died in 2000. #KirstyMacColl #Croydon #TheresAGuyWorksDownTheChipShopWhoSwearsHesElvis #WalkingDownMadison #DearJohn #TheyDontKnow #InTheseShoes #JusticeForKirsty

As a reminder: guilty people shouldn’t be executed either.

@AlisonCybe One irony (of many) about this is that one of the main influences on the Warhammer 40K world was the 2000AD comic, which had Judge Dredd - a satire of policing set in a fascist state. It was aimed at 8 year olds and up.

Me & my friends could tell it was a satire.

We were 8.

[Geckodancing @geckodancing1]

@AlisonCybe While I agree with you, I don't think any critique of the male power fantasy can escape being mistaken for a positive model by people susceptible to the male power fantasy.

I call this the Tyler Durdan law of satire.

See also Walter White, Patrick Bateman, Rick Sanchez etc

Hmmm…… really?

Does that seem plausible?

Let’s take a look, shall we?

@stealthygeek I would like thousands of bombs not going off indiscriminately to maim and kill whoever is in proximity, actually. I want zero kids getting their face blown off by exploding pagers

[Matt, Dad Hat Enthusiast @TheChowderhead]

Oh I remember this guy, he got his wish and made a fully libertarian town and it went so badly they had to flee because it was overrun by bears. No one was collecting the trash. Incredible stuff.

@Dogbowl31Medb @frome_maude Thanks for this - I knew of Maddy Prior's The Fabled Hare, which uses the same Gowdie quote but hadn't come across Fay Hield.

Folk acting in disbelief that David Cameron contacted Putin for help prior to the 2014 Indyref might be shocked to learn the BBC sent Andrew Marr to Russia to meet Putin for the same reason. Yes, the BBC sought out a crazed dictator in order to help undermine independence.
