Here’s what prompted it - a scalding observation by The Economist. pic.twitter.com/lf6Rg1PzVv

Here's the Daily Mail live feed on YouTube  

Kwasi Kwarteng served Truss as finance minister for 38 days -- reminiscent of how Tony

Scaramucci served as White House communications director for 10 days in 2017. 

So we now have a new reference for measuring time in politics:

The imperial Scaramucci has been replaced by the metric Kwarteng. 1 Kwarteng = 3.5 Scaramuccis

Today's "Christ, what an asshole!" is Elon Musk:

Elon Musk wants to turn off internet in Ukraine because someone was mean on Twitter. Seriously.

For context: Musk posted terrible peace terms for Ukraine and a Ukrainian minister told him to "F*** Off." Now Musk threatens to shut off Starlink in spite. https://t.co/tz42jGykOM

Hey @elonmusk you told an invaded sovereign country to give their land to a dictator. Their cities leveled, women, children tortured and raped. You, some dude with a car company, Aspergers, who plays with rockets, thinks he can handle global politics?
You really should fuck off. https://t.co/QWXlY9LC78

From today’s @FT “Musk’s technology raises questions about the extent to which a capricious billionaire should be involved in defence” Ya think ???

Today's "fuck around and find out" is the FluTruxKlan:

NEW: The Public Order Emergency Commission has confirmed to me that it revoked the accreditation of this convoy blogger earlier today.

In a statement, @POECommission cited its “policy prohibiting aggression or harassment by any member of the media.”#cdnpoli #cdnmedia https://t.co/ZsN7aBMjg0 pic.twitter.com/GZB4otw8nI

Sure - public health policy should be dictated by conspiracy theory-loving, gap-toothed morons in a hot tub camped out in the middle of the street.

It wasn't just Ottawa. More important I think were the border blockades & US trade disruptions, the spreading chaos in cities as people gave up on police & tried to stop the Convoy themselves, & the need to re-establish respect for rule of law & for elected authorities.

Riddle me this. If, as the OPP lawyer says, the Emergencies Act wasn't necessary, why was the Ottawa illegal convoy occupation not cleared until the EA was invoked? What was the OPP and all the other police services doing in the weeks before the EA?

— Stephen Best (@BestStephenD) October 14, 2022

The three most obvious ways to cut this are:
They were overwhelmed - EA was needed.
They were complicit - EA was needed.
Enough of them were complicit that they disabled those who weren't - EA was needed.

In 2015, a Manchester man started graffitiing giant penises onto potholes so that the council would clear them up faster. He was nicknamed 'Wanksy'. pic.twitter.com/6909gdNwJl

I was just mentioning to some people yesterday there are certain YouTube videos I watch periodically because they're just so exhilarating. One is the entire inning leading up to the bat flip. Must have been amazing to be there. https://t.co/jr4RPqdvOz
