If youtube's default landing page is an accurate reflection of present-day human society, send the asteroid.

@tomlevenson Rapid Unscheduled Disassembler would be a good name for a Culture warship.

Whereas Rapid Unscheduled *Dissembler* is more what you'd call a politician surprised by a microphone when a scandal breaks.

@Popehat In fairness all women are cold to him.

@Teri_Kanefield @Runyan50 @RiaResists

Wouldn't part of making Dominion whole consist of admitting that the lies were lies? Otherwise presumptively the reputational damage stands.

@not2b @w7voa Well we know Dominion hasn't agreed to silence, they're not being the least bit restrained, treating the settlement as a confession and using the word "lied" quite freely.

@not2b @w7voa

Hell, I hope (wish) the settlement requires a detailed confession to be reported in number, placement and detail to the instances of the original lies. And preferably delivered by the original iiars.

@dangillmor It's encouraging that the settlement evidently does not constrain Dominion from continuing to drive home the point that Fox lied, and indeed to treat the terms of the settlement as evidence that they did.

@dangillmor If the settlement includes on-air admissions and apologies, equalling in number, placement and prominence to the instances of the lies -- and preferably delivered by the performers who delivered the original lies -- that might be just about good enough.

If a very thin publication is a pamphlet, is a book a pamph?

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I mean a revolution against English rule doesn't mean crap if England was just an interloper with no real standing in the first place.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Now that you mention it, didn't the Vikings discover "New England" first? Clearly they have prior claim and you should totally file an injunction against home rule in Denmark's favor.

A working healthcare system, no potholes, great public transportation, what's not to love?

Also, bring back the Danelaw. I mean who in the North wouldn't rather be governed by Danes at this point?

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Mostly I'm thinking that every single UK region should turn the Tories' own dogma against them and fuck right off out from under them. Mind you, it would be a very consequential gesture...

@failedLyndonLaRouchite And yes, Ireland freely joining the most-certainly-not-sovereignty-diminishing EU was a Good Thing.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Really it depends on whether the thing is a colony. Independence was surely the right thing for Ireland.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite

Or as P.J. O'Rourke once put it, The Free And Independent Republic of Me and You and I'm Not So Sure About You

Who else is for Cornish independence? 〓〓

@tomlevenson For Thomas, an ethics lapse would be an instance of behaving ethically.

@oakster @EugeneMcParland Thanks, got that one.
