Linda Reynolds won’t be satisfied that everyone knows how much she supports SA survivors, until she has subpoenaed, bullied, threatened, and legislated against *every* last SA survivor.

Linda Reynolds can prove that Brittany Higgins has “mischaracterises” these proceedings as being an attempt by Senator Reynolds to silence sexual assault survivors (plural) when they are only about one SA survivor. And to prove it, she will subpoena another SA survivor.

Linda Reynolds and her lawyer should accuse Linda Reynolds and her lawyer of conspiring to make it look like Linda Reynolds and her lawyer try to silence victims of crime by trying to silence victims of crime.

The chief bugler of Azure Data Centre 1 blows a long and sonorous note on his ceremonial infrasonic bagpipes—audible only to small rodents—but understood at once by every hard-working hamster in that clamouring DC, that this melancholy tone signals, alas, dear Pippy has fallen.

Pippy who so proudly keeping all systems going, through winters and summers — poor poor Pippy has finally breathed his last, and a prolonged global Azure outage has begun. God rest his hamsterous soul.

I made a CSS-only Minecraft clone again... But this time in 3D! No JavaScript here either, just 40,000 lines of auto-generated HTML radio buttons and labels combined with some CSS :has() magic. Play the game: https://t.co/OcZLRc4FCL View the source code: https://t.co/KDAk5zJZmf
