so, those election results were pretty fucking stark eh.

Catherine, Boner of JP Sweeney & Co (darraghmac), Thursday, 23 January 2020 15:13 (five years ago)

I choose to interpret this as 'no hoi polloi, ONLY political twitter embeds itt'.

So the Norwegian government collapsed, huh? Sure is interesting.

Frederik B, Thursday, 23 January 2020 15:19 (five years ago)

Any thoughts on Luigi Di Maio stepping down? That is some really exciting politics to me.

Frederik B, Thursday, 23 January 2020 15:22 (five years ago)

I feel like posting here is just as much of a trap, but let's see

opden gnash (imago), Thursday, 23 January 2020 15:22 (five years ago)

this is exciting, are the two threads going to launch occasional raids on one-another?

I mean, I hope not, of course.

I am forced to assume that the thread title is intentionally vague wrt geographical/temporal parameters.

So this whole fall of Lachish shit is some serious no fuckin' around business, huh.

Hanoi Rocks youtube embeds however are more than welcome here, and in fact, mandatory - once per day

That Zhou Xianwang should resign straight away, total disgrace.

YT embeds welcome when deployed with parsimony.

Great news out of Emilia-Romagna. What a relief! A splendid display of politics.

Relief is the word. An auspicious start to the day.

Yes, good Italian politics today. The bad politician gave it his best politics shot, but the good politician was the politicsest so he won.

Who needs politics embeds anyway?

'hoi polloi' sounds like 'high on onions' in Danish and also 'onions' is slang for testicles.

Frederik B, Monday, 27 January 2020 09:46 (five years ago)

Catherine, Boner of JP Sweeney & Co (darraghmac), Monday, 27 January 2020 09:47 (five years ago)

Slicing testiclesonions makes me cry.

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 January 2020 09:47 (five years ago)

I guess with all the testosterone-fueled rage-posting in this thread, it's sorta accurate to say we are high on testicles.

Frederik B, Monday, 27 January 2020 09:48 (five years ago)

Wrathposting as per this thread's instructions:

From Proto-Indo-European *polh₁ús (“much, many”), o-grade derivative of the root *pleh₁- (“to fill”). Cognates include Latin plūs (“more”), Sanskrit पुरु (puru, “much, many, abundant”), Old Irish oll (“great, vast”), Old English feolo (“much, many”) and Old Armenian յոլով (yolov).

The Emilio-Romagna tussle between right and left puts me immediately in mind of the Don Camillo books, except the left now is not the Communist left, and the right now is certainly not the traditionalist soft-right of Fr. Don himself (in fact, fascism IS represented in the books, as the common enemy of both sides, which in turn need each other - an interesting dialectical position for such an ostensibly light entertainment)

opden gnash (imago), Monday, 27 January 2020 09:53 (five years ago)

this is not a thread for wrathposting tyvm

Catherine, Boner of JP Sweeney & Co (darraghmac), Monday, 27 January 2020 10:02 (five years ago)

unless you mean as if we were posting from an easily defended raised earthen fort obv
