101 Things You Should Know About the UK Tory Government

Thing 58

In the week before Christmas, absentee Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was asked

‘Where have you been?’: Rishi Sunak confronted by reporter over strikes and travel chaos."  (The Independent: 23/12/22)

No, he wasn’t hiding in a fridge. No, he hadn’t gone on holiday. He had been busy vetting candidates for the long vacant post of Ethics Advisor. So who did he choose?  He chose an investment banker of course, a man cut from the same cloth as himself, Sir Laurie Magnus.

But Sir Laurie Magnus isn’t just any old investment banker. He is an investment banker who has donated thousands of pounds to a Conservative MP, Nick Boles. The same Nick Boles who:

“...learns lover's language and puts the £678 cost of lessons on expenses.”  (MailOnline: 09/08.2012)

He is an investment banker who was educated at Eton, and Oxford.

He is an investment banker who had business dealings with the disgraced Robert Maxwell and Sir Philip Green.

Above all, he is an investment banker who has agreed to relinquish the power to launch his own investigations into allegations of ministerial wrongdoing. As Ethics Advisor he can only initiate a probe into alleged misconduct of ministers if asked by Rishi Sunak to do so. In short, he is a toothless lapdog.

So much for the Sunak promise:

“This government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level.” (Rishi Sunak: 25/10/22)

max lives au but the threat is very much still there. he doesn't bully the nerds anymore but he's less a friend and more a feral dog that they know might snap at any moment. i love a good max lives au but I need a max lives au where he gets *worse*, actually. the nature of hatchetfield is that every timeline is doomed no matter what, it's just what causes that doom that changes. i need holy ghost co-corruption arc

getting the kindest blorbo anon from a friend. And not even having to check if someone is active again, because the hate mail lets me know.

can't put sadie in a cronenberg film because she'd either a.) fuck the monster or b.) let someone fuck a non-normal hole.

Soooooo tired of seeing the words "unprecedented", "shocking", etc. attached to Tr*mp indictment news in regards to him being a former president.

The whole founding philosophy of the USA is that the president is Some Guy who is a public servant, equal to the rest of the citizens. It should be applauded that criminals, even if they used to be a public servant, get punished for their crimes. It shouldn't be a "shock" if we think justice is ever being served in this country.

NO FUCKING WAY LUDINUS DALETH IS THE LEADER. NO WAY. i don't believe it there's no fucking way

[hotvintagepoll]

not movie people but people in a black and white movie...uh, anyone here got any thoughts on hotness level (TM) of the Beatles in A Hard Day's Night?

I feel like this is meant for bracket croney @billboard-hotties-tourney but ok sure!

Jiang Cheng: Please understand that Wei Wuxian killed your guards because Wen Qing and Wen Ning were niceys to us specifically.

Lan Xichen: Wen Qing was a croney of Wen Ruohan, but sure, I never specifically heard that she herself killed anyone.

Readers: Why didn't Jiang Cheng, who didn't decide to put the Wen in camps in the first place, wasn't included in the search and rescue mission for Wen Ning, doesn't know what the fuck is happening, hasn't slept, hasn't heard from Wei Wuxian, and must improv off of what Jin Guangshan is saying, tell everyone to go fuck themselves and abandon his sect?? PROOF HE NEVER LOVED WEI WUXIAN!!

Lan Wangji: I'm in this scene too.

Readers: omg hiii

OK having thoughts of an 'Everyone has an Eevee' au

Ren gets an Eevee shortly after the Probation news broke as a "Therapy Pokemon". It becomes the most spoiled Eevee in the world. Its friendship is max but won't evolve because "But what if he gets hurt :("

Ryuji got the Eevee as a gift for making it to highschool. His mother bought a thunderstone for unrelated reasons but through a series of unfortunate events, the Eevee got a hold of it and is now a Jolteon :)

Ann got an Eevee when she was very young to have as a companion when her parents are away. Sometime in middle school, she had a very serious discussion about evolution and the Eevee evolved into Flareon

Yusuke didn't have an Eevee until becoming friends with the thieves. (Sort of like a 'Sorry for completely uprooting your life and making you come to the realization that your guardian is a piece of shit' present). It didn't take long until he spent an unreasonable amount of money on an Ice stone. Not for evolution purposes, but...

Makoto is in the same camp as Ann in that she got the Eevee very young. When her dad died and Sae started to focus more on work, they pretty much became inseparable, and in the same boat as Ren with not participating in battles. However, during the Kaneshiro fiasco, there became no choice and the Eevee evolved into Espeon immediately to protect Makoto

If Ren has "The Most Spoiled Eevee in the World" then Futaba has the Most Miserable. Not because she doesn't take care of it (Other than during when she had her palace, in which Sojiro was taking care of it more than she was. Futaba is trying to rectify that now) but because it evolved into a Vaporeon.

Haru got her Eevee around the time when her engagement started. She took care of it but never really attempted to get attached. Later, after her father died, she started taking the Eevee to the planters to have a companion. It wasn't long until she now had a Leafeon :)

Sumire has a Sylveon. It was originally Kasumi's, but after her death it became hers. During the events of the game, it could tell something was off, so it didn't like being around Sumire as much. This concerns Sumire who is like "Omg why does my Sylveon hate me :0" and she tries talking to Maruki/Ren about it. Later, after the brainwashing wears off, they make up

Akechi only gets one Post-canon due to thief insistence. And boy if you think RENS is spoiled well...this Eevee is living it's absolute best life. Unlike Ren's it does end up evolving due to one of Shido's croneys trying to ambush him. A chomp to the legs was enough to evolve it into Umbreon

From the post by Mer:

"I care about cultivating community that isn’t brutally inequitable.

I care about making sure Scarlett and K and Claire and Caroline and Julia and every other survivor out there who's still keeping their head down knows they’re not alone, that their life and agency and dignity matters just as much as Neil Gaiman's.

For most of the summer, Neil’s many many many many many many survivors, both known and concealed, have been watching a majority of his A-list croneys and blurb-boasting besties look the other way, presumably wishing it would all go away.

Dear friends and colleagues and respected peers who were in-the-know at least as much as I was:

Why, even now, are you still pretending this is none of your concern and waiting out the news cycle? It DOES concern you! All of you.

Me too. (Pun intended.)

It concerns our careers and our reputations and the feminist values we've all loudly espoused for years, the same values which played integral roles in our successes.

Please consider caring, too.

PUBLICLY."

I’m a brand social media manager for a living. I’d be shocked if the official Hazbin Twitter isn’t being manned by Viv or some Spindlehorse croney. The timing and the content doesn’t seem like it fits from an actual marketing POV?

Oh yeah, this reeks of either Viv or one of her weird friends, probably whoever did that joke of a caption job on Oops.

Joker needs a twink henchman

He's a bisexual and we've had three different women be his fanatics/aids (Harley Quinn, Joker's Daughter and Punchline). It's high time we get a man here to be the next younger, sexualized, crazy clown croney

@downspirals gets the plotted thing

Training was going pretty well. The team had been running laps as a cool-down exercise, before they went off on a break. Jamie wasn't sure if training was finishing entirely for the day or if they were just having a breather, but he was feeling good. He threw up a hand to high-five Dustin over a particularly good move they'd pulled off, an easy grin on his face. He'd become fast friends with the newcomer, especially since - well - everything. And it was nice having a friend that wasn't just a group of croneys who wanted his admiration but was actually… like… proper friends. That was cool.

Roy was standing with arms folded, watching as they moved into groups, chattering. That weird guy with the canes who had been hanging around with the coach a whole lot lately was also here, Jamie noticed, but mostly didn't care. Roy, on the other hand, was very aware of Austin's presence. He could smell him on the breeze, and whilst it was familiar now, it was still weird. His head turned - another scent had drifted towards him. (Since learning to get better control over his other self, he'd found bits like this leaking through.) And whilst he couldn't place it, exactly, there was a sour familiarity to it, like old beer and cigarettes…

"Oh, shit, what the fuck." Jamie whispered, now looking in the same direction. There was a shape on the pitch, moving towards them. "What the fuck is he doing here?" his breath caught in his chest. He hadn't heard from his dad since their altercation in Man City's changing room, and now… he still didn't feel ready to face the man…
