Spare some love today for Collingwood. The other Admiral at Trafalgar.
Proud northerner. Hater of flogging. Legit brilliant commander and Nelson's trusted right hand. First into battle on Royal Sovereign. Took charge after Nelson was sniped and saved the British Fleet.
Here's HIS Trafalgar... /1 🧵

Gryphonicus walks!
Reaver-class engines Fury Intractable, Voltastus, and Gryphonne Indomitus stride through shattered streets, supporting an Ultramarines advance.
Finished up a Ferrox maniple for a wee doubles event this weekend.

Woke up to images and friends' social media posts from all over the country of Italy's general strike for Gaza. The Right to Strike Commission declared it illegitimate last week. The unions responded, "we don't care". Over two million people participated in the rallies, blocking stations and ports.

Absolutely vile. Pride isn't something Kiwis are stereotypically supposed to display anyway, and when we do, it's because we're the ones standing up for the little guys. We back the underdogs and the battlers, not the bully boys. "National character" is fake, but even our fake character isn't this.
Mate, I don't know if you have ever been to New Zealand, but "pride" isn't a national value even on occasions when the government isn't Pontiusly auto-piloting a denial of genocide.

Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon
New Zealand was among only a handful of countries - including the US, Japan and South Korea - which had not formally recognised Palestinian statehood.

Okay, Ellie is pretty good. I might have to pick this one up. I can already see some sort of infinite shenanigans with Gravecrawler.
And if I squint hard enough, I can pretend she's a Survivor from Duskmorne.

For the record: the post replaced referred to "the autism problem." That wording is also present in the article itself. It should go without saying, but autism is not a problem, and those seeking a "solution" to it are eugenicists.
For the record: This replaces a deleted post to add more specific context.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Genuinely makes you want to scream. Obviously, the right was always going to try and make a martyr out of him, but the scrambling rush by Democrats and columnists to join in is maddening.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression.

I have no idea who wrote the script for Paddington 3, and I'm not looking it up now, but how stupid do you have to be to write the script for the thing that's supposed to replace you?
