This screenshot was how I discovered that Graham Linehan has given up pretending that he's anything other than a violent misogynist, and is now retweeting posts that lesbians actually want to get shot in the face by masked government agents.

OMG - RNZ IS ACTUALLY DOING IT!
They're going into bat for the Trump NAZI's!
We kept telling you they were not to be trusted but you still kept listening and believing their lies.
When they are pointing the directions to the delousing showers you lot will still follow them like sheep.

Looking more likely that the US is actually going to make a move on Greenland. Denmark and its close allies need to be taking these threats seriously.

NZ PSA re Animates:
Don’t buy Playology products that look like this - Indie ate half a lizard tail before I realised what she was doing (she’s fine but monitoring.)
From the online reviews there have been very bad experiences across the range - alarming that Animates is still stocking them.

OK, I can see the argument - how about "federal employees shouldn't be killing anyone" - end of line. My point is, intentionally or not, we should think really hard about not normalizing the idea that certain types of people deserve more empathy and outrage when victims of state violence.

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes.
If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.
