last night i had a dream that i told a joke that was so funny it killed people. I woke up after killing someone with it and in my tired stupor, rushed to write it down before I forgot it or fell back asleep. I just checked and this is what i wrote down
Happy one year since I killed the queen
Palestinian children play outside their houses painted by Palestinian artists in the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, on November 16, 2015

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties — and calls for a ceasefire —reaches a tipping point.
In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

Turn "weeks" into days. Into minutes. The fact that they're projecting that far out is abhorrent when we all know what will happen in those weeks.
But, god.
Keep talking. Keep calling. Keep marching. Shout for the people of Palestine.
Just remember that they're probably assuming that the outrage will die down somewhat, because we are all numb to this kind of shit at this point, right?...
WRONG.
Still the best gaming fact.
Oh dear god someone screenshotted this and put it on Reddit. WHO WAS IT?
Rip.
Marlene Dietrich is detained at a train station in Paris in 1933 for violating the ban on women wearing trousers.
As with all german actors in the 30's, you always gotta check the World War II section of their Wikipedia page. Well im happy to report that Marlene Dietrich was in open opposition to the Nazi regime, and in 1937 donated her entire salary for a film (over 9 million dollars in todays money) to helping Jewish refugees :)

If you're in Australia you'll already know this, but for our international readers, basically the whole of Australia ground to a halt today because one of our two mobile/internet networks - Optus - just completely shat its dacks for about 9 hours, taking out the country's phones, internet and banking.
The funniest part though, is that apparently when the national broadcaster tried to reach out to find out what was going on - they discovered the quite forseeable problem that everyone at Optus used Optus for their phone and internet, so there was basically no way for their company to contact anyone inside or outside the company to work out what was going on or to try and fix it.
What a country.
Brought to you by the country that couldn't do the 2016 census because the website crashed on census night after they received an "unexpected DDoS attack" that turned out to be the population of Australia trying to fill out the census.
