Election 2020

Like Helen Keller.

 

[DannyL]

Not over yet either, if they try and hold the building.

 

[luka]

Like Helen Keller.

Was that the blind woman?

 

[Mr. Tea]

Never realised until now that the Atlanta Mayor is called Kiss Your Bottoms.

Middle name "Lance", which sounds painful.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Was that the blind woman?

And deaf. She famously learned to read using her sense of smell.

 

[Mr. Tea]

And deaf. She famously learned to read using her sense of smell.

Eventually dictated an extremely moving autobiography using a method not to be described in polite company.

 

[luka]

this is not polite company

The whole Trump presidency has been permeated with a sense of irreality but this is really the icing on the cake. Very very strange four years.

 

[luka]

the Internet and social media have merged reality and fiction completely.

 

[IdleRich]

Apparently if you get that thing back to your house and place it in the living room, then your house officially becomes the senate and all meetings have to be held there from now on (until someone can manage to liberate the magic altar and take it somewhere else)

@luka @Mr. Tea

 

[DannyL]

In some of the OSINT stuff I follow there are calls to save as much info, scrape streams etc as much as possible. This guy is a fucking idiot, does he think facial recognition software doesn't exist.

@luka @Mr. Tea

I'm feeling sceptical myself

 

[constant escape]

Counter revolution is a reactionary revolution I guess

True, but counter-revolution is a response to some initiating revolution, and I wonder what examples of initiating revolutions with politically/culturally reactionary agendas we have.

 

[luka]

Padraig would tell us if he was here. He'd have a list of fifteen examples ready to go

 

[luka]

Taliban?

 

[DannyL]

Was that Bellingcat? I think I saw that too.

Yeah. They will have a field day with all the publicly available information

 

[constant escape]

And I think theres definitely a "in for a penny, in for a pound" sensibility at play here, at least among the more extreme among them.

 

[constant escape]

Taliban?

Yeah that might be what I was getting at, albeit I don't know the details there.
