No, I didn’t see another large spider. (Well, not yet. You’ll be the second to know, right after the person nearest me when I scream.) Reader John sent along this photo, and I thought it provided a nice finish (?) to the discussion.

Load More...The sheer amount of lying and covering up and evidence destruction at Old Twitter suggests to me that the culprits felt they were on a very important mission.
I'd like to know what it was. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1600608004893642753@jack Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released
When you voice your suspicions about them they say "You're crazy!"
When your suspicions prove true they say "So what?"
And then they expect you to play another round. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1600613315507429376"Judging from hundreds of readouts of the PM's phone calls with public officials, amazingly none of them has ever criticized any federal government action. There are no issues, challenges or mistakes to report! Lucky us." https://open.substack.com/pub/paulwells/p/podcast-the-tyrant-next-door?r=exstm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
Actually I think it goes:
Public: "We want free healthcare."
Government: "Killing you is healthcare."
Mind you anyone who thinks something as expensive as modern medical treatment can be made free by a legislative or bureaucratic act is asking for trouble, fiscal and other. https://twitter.com/Chesschick01/status/1600314616940093440Public: "We want free healthcare."
Government: "Best we can do is help you kill yourself."
Someone had a sense of humour. In a crisis (see your previous post). There’s something indomitable about being able to find something to laugh at when your world has fallen apart around you. I watched a house, a home, slide down a bank and into one of those raging rivers, recently — a video taken by the owners. What do you do? Laugh? Cry? I probably can’t call this “black humour” any more, but at least it’s a healthy response.

Jim T – Or maybe it was a neighbourhood smart-aleck. Who knows? Not bring directly affected by the disaster is a great help as far as finding humour goes.
Haahaahaahaahaa! Good laugh on a grey day. Thanks
Judith – 🙂 IKR?
Awesomely wonderful. Or is it “The lengths some people will go to for a joke!”
Laurna – Both, maybe. 🙂
