@susankayequinn @cstross I misspoke earlier when I said that “George Soros Bought Me a Handwarmer” was the name of my new band.
After careful consideration, the name of my new band is now "Clearance-Bin Dildos”.
Clearance-Bin Dildos is the first album by George Soros Bought Me A Handwarmer, surely?

@susankayequinn the sad part of that is that was the MN National Guard in the yellow vests, which Waltz said was there to protect protesters, and they didn't stop to process what happened, they fired on people. Shame on them, and shame on Waltz.

@susankayequinn What a marvel of a quote!!!!
> The very first rubber dick to touch government-issued leather boots triggered a full-blown chemical weapons response. That is not metaphor. That is not exaggeration. That is a literal sentence that happened in America in 2026.

@susankayequinn I'll note that it is possible to get suction cup dildos stuck onto windows, as seen last week in Chicago's northwest suburbs (though not as part of a known protest).

We proved that you can bring a trillion-dollar security apparatus to its knees with one well-aimed rubber cock.

It reminds this moose of a "flying dildo" that someone released into an important (political?) meeting. It was radio controlled and stayed just out or reach of anybody trying to swat it. Chaos ensued. 3:O))>
The video is probably still around somewhere. (I can't find it with a quick search.) 3:O(>
