Don't have to scratch a self-proclaimed progressive too much to find someone indistinguishable from an Alabama MAGA.

Amazing that you think words that you haven't just cut-and-paste from some other drone that people lie down and welcome death after they hear them is "effort".

You didn't hit a nerve. You aren't edgy. You aren't interesting.
You've just tried the laziest bit of ill-informed consequence-free bigotry in the hope that you'll get five (5) likes and feel you've offered some startling commentary. It's human AI slop like you who think this is 'provocative'.

Oh dear god. It makes you want to scratch your head off to remove any trace of the idea ever existing. What kind of creature comes up with that? Surely it's some horrific bit?

Lot a trouble to announce the result of the Colombia-Peru penalty shootout.

I've met Republicans that have a more genuine and unpatronising interest in the wider world than you.

Is there some sort of voucher you fatuous drones get for trying this beaten-to-death horseshit routine every fucking day? Of all the fucking countries to pull this lazy bellendery; even less thought put into this than "Retweet if you remember oxygen".

Zack Polanski has *intensely* strong 'demented 1998 Hollyoaks story arc involving a 'cafe bar owner' who drives an SUV (playing Simply Red 'fairground') through a boutique hairdressers shouting 'CHLOE! CHLOE! CHLLLOEEE!' before being stopped by Tony the chef from turning a gun on himself' energy.

Highly specific and yet every step intensely plausible.

Except in other countries where wildly stupid people are suggesting we emulate it.

Go back and ask Roarrk The Guardian how to proceed.

"Young producers" would, I guess, account for a non-zero amount of the shit the BBC has got itself into in recent years.

This is a delightful pot, painted with a drake (as in male duck, not dragon) as the centrepiece of the decoration. It’s about 16cm tall (a little over 6 inches) and was found at Abydos by the EEF (now EES) excavations in 1904. 🧵1/4

#Egyptology

A photograph of an ancient Egyptian pot. It is round bottomed and narrows from a widest point at about ¼ of the way up towards the neck. The neck itself does not continue to narrow & is a straight sided cylinder. The pot itself is a reddish brown in colour but not much of that is showing because it is painted. The decoration looks a bit like a broad collar necklace around the shoulders of the pot (leaving the neck bare) coming to about ¼ of the way down, and there is a bib with further decoration running from this to about the widest point of the pot. The decoration is painted with a white background, and the collar part has lots of vertical blue stripes as well as a yellow, red and blue horizontal strip. The bib is outlined with blue and red lines, and the centre has a drawing of a duck with a white body, a blue head, yellow & red wings, and red legs. Surrounding the duck are a few lotus flower motifs and a basket with two eggs.
