Quite something to hear appeals for nuance and moderation from someone who's only ever pretended to have either of these things

Well shit, I was confident that Rachel would deliver us 4% growth all along but I honestly thought planning and dynamic alignment alone would do it.

... does that mean that if we don't turn off our steel furnaces, we get to be this decade's Celtic Tiger?

Step 1: Stroke his ego enough to dodge first round of blanket tariffs
Step 2: Congressional GOP indiscriminately detonates clean energy contracts and subsidies
Step 3: ???
Step 4: 10% GDP growth p/a

Like even if the law was somewhat contested on this, you'd expect a former DPP to be especially sensitive to the chance of having prosecutions be detonated by third parties anyway, given that surely that'll have happened to him plenty

Patreon subs absolutely raging that Jon drops Pretty Goods for free in his spare time (unless of course they're paying for the jazz backing track, which, fair enough)

One of the more underrated "features" of Trump part 2 is how many more people are willing to unreservedly show who they are. What an incredible time-save it is that a critical mass of people have lost sight of how just because you can say things, it doesn't mean you should

"Foreign secretary correctly strokes vain, powerful man's ego in a bid to further domestic interests" doesn't sound as catchy though

The only block of text in recorded history where every subsequent line is a jumpscare

Younger me has a visceral reaction to this, because "young, male and unemployed in summer 2016" was exceedingly fertile ground for military recruitment on the Internet. Interesting that they're struggling despite the similar online landscape (speaking of, thanks for writing Escape as it got me out!)

Also wholly dismissive of the damage a further inquiry would actually bring to victims, a point which was excellently delivered by one, uh, Keir Starmer in *2014*

Farage's entire career to date has been made possible by him understanding that you always need to have someone to the right of you as the opposite of a palate cleanser (see also: Griffin, Nick). This denouncement of Yaxley-Lennon couldn't be more in-character and I don't get why people buy it

Imagine taking behavioural advice from a people who religiously believe that *walking* is beneath them, I could never

Sometimes I wonder how much worse my life would have been had I kept a copy of my save file off my laptop before it died four years ago. Absolutely dreadful time sink if you let a save get going
