If you have an older machine, the canisters are standard and there are third parties providing cheaper alternatives in many countries.

You generally don’t go into the police force if you have intellectual curiosity

Germany appears to be regressing to the Biedermeier era of apathetic conservatism that followed the crushing of the upheavals of 1848

I heard they were caught flipping a grunt.

Given that Trump got elected despite a rape conviction and the revelations of being at best grossly negligent with national secrets (and quite plausibly giving them to the US’s enemies), the downside to Russia is that whatever kompromat they have on him is of no use, as the public won’t care.

and Guevara was a Stalinist. Though nobody’s perfect.

How does that boot taste?

The best Australia can hope for is that Musk is too busy trying to make Nigel Farage the UK’s PM or kickstarting a Fourth Reich in Germany or something, and forgets all about this dusty corner of the South Pacific until it’s too late.

How quickly can they get him into a court room, convict him and execute him, if they pull out all stops? Every day that he’s alive is another day that the real culprit might plug another CEO in the same way, revealing that they just framed a patsy.

Free as in puppy

More than a good chance. Albo’s paralysed with the fear of fucking it up, and has the unmistakable stench of a one-term government. Given the media and the oligarchs’ bias, it’d be a miracle if he scrapes through.

Meanwhile, his Twitter account conveniently reveals him to be a far-right incel. Which may be true, though if you were Musk and wanted to secure a conviction, making him look like a creepy extremist would do the trick.

Bird(site) flu

“My husband plays that mobile game all the time!”

I’m sure the propaganda ghouls in the US are currently talking with one voice about how Brian Thompson was one of the carers, who gave his life to helping the sick, and how his killer is bound for the lowest circle of Hell alongside Hitler, Oswald and the Rosenbergs.

This is my surprised face

It would be good for him if they never catch him, but if they do, and he is sentenced to death as would be expected, his last words could greatly magnify the historical impact of his act, as with the anarchist/labor martyrs of the early 20th century.

That is, unless the media deliberately suppress what he actually said and report his last words as “skibidi toilet” or a declaration of undying love for some Jodie Foster analogue or something, thus proving that the shooter was nuts, as anyone who had a grudge against America’s healthcare providers would have to be.

Meticulous planning, and/or broad public sympathy

Fawkes was a religious fanatic who sought to blow up the English Parliament to replace it with a theocracy, so as an actual historical figure, he’s not much of a progressive role model.

Also, probably malnourished. They may have gotten decent rations since they were conscripted (North Korea has a “military first” policy), but up until then they would have grown up with a calorie deficit.
