Charlie Stross
@cstross@wandering.shop  ·  activity timestamp 7 days ago

I wish Charlie Kirk hadn't been murdered.

... Far better if he'd gone out the same way as the late Stephen Milligan MP.

(Peels an orange, looking around innocently.)

@span cstross There’s always a slim hope that it could happen to Trump.

Mistake not ...

@span cstross would that make it look more or less likely to temporarily distract from the as of yet not fully published proceedings concerning a certain rich person and their unsavory activities on a specific island?

@span cstross I wonder if autoerotic asphyxiation is in the top 10 causes of death of conservative politicians.

Watching @span cstross poking the bear here reminds me of the time that a former colleague of mine wrote something so inflammatory on Usenet that the angry responses filled up /var/spool/mail and crashed the company mail server.

I wonder what ever happened to that guy …

@span cstross #alternativefact 9/10 deaths among #edl #reformuk and #tory supporters involve an orange, suspenders and in recent years a hamster.

@cstross Agreed. But, given that Kirk has cheated us of that amusing option, I shall try to be satisfied with what we have.

@cstross Possibly the best thing about the show Ghosts on BBC is that the Horrible Histories crew have kept this relevant by having a Tory ghost character who died that way. I'm glad that people will have to ask about it.
