And so the Female Custodes shit-storm drags on, as grown men sob about gaslighting and betrayal... And semantics. Lovely semantics.
Naturally, this is a siren call for far right grifters like Sargon and The Critical Drinker. All the usual dogwhistles are blown.
But now anti-semitism enters the play, as the nudge-nudge, wink-wink comments about Blackrock (whose CEO is Jewish) demonstrate.
These are Nazis making hay, and neckbeards falling into line.

@npub1vs7…a6g3 Don't you just wish they'd have a cage match, and call it quits?

@npub1psd…9sr7 Evil pigs get made into sausages. This is why there are no pig landlords, CEOs or totalitarians.

@npub1hpc…hjn3 Moreover, Successful Insurgency Quelling 101 states that you treat the problem like a policing issue, with the military only called in when needed and when useful (if at all).
Now, calling this surfeit of criminal toe rags an insurgency is a bit too flattering in and of itself. Having failed to even pick up a plunger to clear the toilet, they are now threatening to blast it with artillery.

It's worth noting how many of #GrahamLinehan's comedy characters end up exiled or marginalised because of their bizarre behaviour, vileness or stupidity.
It was as if his subconscious was trying to warn him not to be such a tosser.
(Note also how the #BBC frames this story as being due to a difference of opinions rather than Linehan being such a raging transphobe.)

What better way to celebrate the #FourthOfJuly than to point out that the death rate amongst new mothers in the #USA has almost tripled in 20 years?
"...For the entire #US population, the team found that the #Maternal mortality rate rose from 12.7 #Deaths per 100,000 live births in 1999 to 32.2... in 2019.
"#NativeAmerican populations... saw the biggest uptick, with a more than three-fold increase in the maternal mortality rate from 19,0 per 100,000 to 69.3..."
