What’s really frustrating about Liz Truss is she is too stupid to understand how stupid she is. If she could wrap her head around that, she might just shut up and we’d never have to hear from her again.
8 dayslet’s see you become britain’s second female prime minister.
EDIT : OK, I guess
- The joke that she was already britain’s nth female prime minister didn’t go well
- Theresa May was britain’s second female prime minister, truss was the third
- to be clear, she achieved nothing and to hell with her.

lol, I still don’t really get the joke, but sympathy upvote based on the edit because I hate when that happens to me <3
the joke is "oh, you think you’re so much better than her? Let’s see you achieve the only achievement she has (becoming the third female british prime minister) when you can’t become the third of anything AGAIN.
I guess it all got fumbled and was shit to begin with.

Probably US Defaultism didn’t help. heh. I watch panelshows so I know a little more news than the average, but it still whooshed me.
I think it wasn’t so much poorly done as just didn’t land quite well AND once anything gets a downvote or two, it snowballs. heh.
Thank you for explaining. I may not be falling down laughing, but I am quite amused. <3

My favourite joke was to refer to her as “Conservative party backbencher, Liz Truss” but after looking her up on Wikipedia, I see that she has since lost her seat, so even that doesn’t work.
Well, if the tories - and Truss particularly - had remained in power until then, I can imagine that a lot of people would be taking extreme measure to get away, so I can see her point.
They’d be sent up as indentured servants, as that would be many people’s only way of survival in perma-austerity. Those who got close to putting away enough company-store credits for the voyage back would find their oxygen bills algorithmically surge-priced upwards.

surprisingly hard thing to do ,
it turns out, aiming for the Sun without the rocket ultimately orbiting it is not easy at all

We choose these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
The shooting Liz Truss to the sun initiative may be the only way for her to make a contribution to science.

We know, and yet that is the choice regardless.
It suggests an as yet unseen level of dedication to ridding the universe of such a deeply offensive, absolute fucking cretin.
As a wonderful side project, we can see just how many despicable bodies we can physically cram into probably a SpaceX capsule, like a Tokyo subway train carriage. Musk, Trump, Vance, Putin, Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Farage, and Milei can start the proceedings. I’m sure we can collectively suggest more.

As long as we get close, we don’t have to get the Roche limit. The air will get heated to oven temps regardless

Maybe they meant fire her at The Sun (1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF).

Brexit 2, the UK leaves the Earth altogether to defeat the small boats once and for all
- Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.deEnglish7 days
That is actually canonical in Dr Who. They call it Starship UK.
- Random Dent@lemmy.mlEnglish7 days
They have a robotic Suella Braverman that tries to shoot down the TARDIS. If a small boat is bigger on the inside, it still counts.
and they leave by lobotomizing a star whale and building the new UK on its back as it swims through the stars

Liz Truss, I don’t think I can stress, is a strange woman.
Despite getting the top job at the Conservative Party, her father was a left wing Academic, but she basically railed against everything she even considered “left”. Pretty much everything that came out of her mouth as a politician has been pretty fucking insane from her front bench career to her running to be the Leader of the Tories.
The reason she remained as long as she did as Prime Minister was because the Queen died. Literally the last thing the Queen did of note was appoint her as Prime Minister at Balmoral (it’s believed she knew she was dying and wanted to die at Balmoral because it was her favourite home). Because all politics stopped when the Queen died, she didn’t need to do much of note, but the moment the mourning period was over, she took a fucking sledgehammer to the economy.
After this, before and after resigning she has…
- Called the Bank of England “Leftists” (which is fucking hilarious) for reacting badly to her mini budget.
- Blamed Transgender people for a KitKat Heist in Italy (No really).
- Released a book called “Ten Years to Save the West” in which she claimed everyone was out to get her.
- Basically became the Heritage Foundation’s voice in Britain.
She’s basically a mix of Donald Trump, Javier Milei and the parts of Thatcher that didn’t make it to the papers.

Fucking this!!!
Mars is less habitable than earth, and we’re gunning to make earth uninhabitable.

Usually, terraforming includes belching greenhouse gases to melt polar ice caps. Arrival with Charlie Sheen plays on this.
We currently are with fossil fuels.

I thought the goal of terraforming was to make the environment habitable for us?
- anton@lemmy.blahaj.zoneEnglish7 days
In the cold and thin atmosphere of mars, greenhouse gases would make it more habitable, on earth reducing them and reversing their effects would be the goal of terra forming.

She can live there with Elon. $5 says they kill each other on the way there.

If you read the book that’s actually the reason why they put them in medical comas. They feared they’d get cabin fever and kill each other on the trip.

Fuckin A. That makes sense.
I initially planned on reading it but I had already started The Captives War and I wasn’t about to stop.
