Epic fail

“ A monstrous tripod, higher than many houses, striding over the young pine-trees, and smashing them aside in its career.”

He’s just well endowed

thanks, and to @Hjusth, it was late and my brain was only focusing on the I, II, III... on the edge and was counting to 3.

Will that become a collectable one because of the mistake?

It’s a claw!

( it’s probably a leg)

Almost as collectible as an Olympic 50p

It appears she was in fact ready... with an onion in her hand that she was rubbing on her eyes to pretend she got maced.

Possibly, some people believe that holding an onion close to your eyes and nose following an attack can ease the effects. She may have brought one in anticipation of mace or was handed one following it or brought one to make it look like she was gassed.

I think it may backfire if she was trying to gain sympathy...

I think the Capitol Police are in their full right to use mace on insurectors trying to breach the building.

• It's a failed coup and you're on the wrong side luv! No onion will save you! (Where's @edscoble when you need to tell her what onions are for!)

Medical masks, plastic bottles, T-shirts and keffiyehs have all been pressed into service against the gas canisters fired daily by Israeli troops. One ingredient is common to many of the devices: onions.

Somebody got bored with their Christmas panpipes very quickly.

That’s incredible. Love it

Lol. Think I played it 6 or 7 times.

Parler has been comprehensively hacked, as most people will have heard by now. Lots of information about this on Reddit but some choice details to share:

Also, although they were using Okta for identity management, they were using a free trial account!?!

Allegedly, when Parler lost its auth service the fix was not to take the site down, while a replacement was found, but to temporarily bypass the authentication step. This allowed the takeover of the admin account and creation of many more admin accounts.

That's quite disturbing.

Disturbing? It's absolutely delicious!

21st century Nazis: durrrr

Big if true

I think giving law-enforcement the ability actually respond to the Capitol riots is a very good thing. More broadly I think it's a bit chilling. Unless someone's going to go through the accounts of everyone on Parler and distinguish those who wrote overtly hateful shit and incited violence from those who were merely objectionable fuckwits, I think there's a risk of a somewhat illiberal societal response. This issue of lumping people together has always seemed a bit off to me. That said, I've never visited Parler, so I may be wide of the mark.

It means that people who have done IRL cuntary will now likely have a load of evidence of premeditation to charge them properly with, and major ringleaders can be pursued. Your run of the mill keyboard warrior racist will probably stay home now and hope to fuck staying quiet will prevent them being looked into if they've been questionable on parler.
