Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

I made a pun on this basis the other day and nobody appreciated it. I guess it’s an ancestor of “bloody-minded”?

ppl with red-faces (= ilxors obv, hullo everybody) are famous in medieval medicine for their optimism, hence IMO "chilled" (= the intended meaning here)

this is my science tell me yours

its a reference to the utter uselessness of guinea as an ally imo

cheer up, at least our lot dont have to carry that shower

sans guiné

fped

tped

no need to tp me, i sat down and worked it out with a pencil

So, like, gammons?

There you go

Every time I see the word ‘sanguine’ I struggle to parse it as anything other than ‘bloody’.

Same.

Mark, was the whatsapp tempban a result of the "tory scum" vs "now now, we all need to stick together rn" variety? It's as contagious as the virus these days.

If I was in a disaster movie I'd just throw the Tories into the fire/out of the window/into the shark tank and then crack on working with the human beings who were left

the tory it was that was banned in this case (i live in hackney): apparently he's on the steering committee so i imagine funtiems bein had behind the scenes

also my hyper-anarchist chums (who were very involved in getting these going) are saying there's a now concerted govt effort to co-opts the MAs going on, to strip out the politics and make it much more top-down and normative (pinch of salt abt the degree to which this is joined-up policy, anarchists be bein anarchists much as i love these guys, BUT i think this will likely be a feature going forward yes)

i think some of your chums are similar to some of mine ... *sigh*

see also: in-fighting re: rent strike

haha likewise yes (they do get good local stuff done and i am glad i know them and proud they tolerate me but *sometimes* *sigh*)

on one of our groups someone did a poll about how members of the local group were going to deal with April's rent -- a dozen people voted they were going to "pay as normal" -- one of the group admins (who I am friends with) wants to ban all these people from the group.

I suggested to them (the admin -- a non-binary person) that they don't know whether there are any other circumstances involved that might make paying rent and not acting in solidarity with the rent strike, a politically acceptable choice.

actually tbf the side of the argument i encountered in my version was your side: anarchists saying "yes rent strikes are good and proper but don't just leap into them without working out what we happen down the road and how we fight that too" (the pro side being meme-y twitter hotheads i guess) (who i don't know)

oh there's definitely that going on ... I just might not be in that social media group lol

Relieved I wasn’t the clusterfuck this time

it’s my day off and I’ve been out of the ilx loop, what happened

i never did find it

so i'm assuming there was a physical fist fight

Fred was being charming in the Biden thread

read it yesterday! what an odious read

has a clusterfuck ever really been summarized in any of the clusterfuck summary threads

It's an unspoken rule.

Anyway, I hope Fred is alright. One of his choir mates tested positive a few days ao.

well, died, tbf

i still don't know what the fuck happened during the whole luna affair

there's like 3 threads with 1000+ posts about it

every time someone asks what actually happened someone just posts one of the threads and says "read this" but none of the posts in that thread actually say what happened, it's just another thread full of people talking about it

still have no idea what luna actually did

identity theft? murder? pyramid scheme? posted something on scenestars?

hey boo

catfished several ilxors, extorting large sums of money from them, one of whom subsequently committed suicide. the whole time she was living a normal married life

luna did 9/11 iirc

well, died, tbf

Sorry, I'm a dunce.

thank you!

that's a lot worse than everyone always makes it sound

ok now i'm the dunce, the guy died of cancer. ffs memory

he still had his life ruined

Extorted?

I’ve never figured that whole thing out either.

if we're thinking abt the same person not extorted and he didn't have his life ruined

probably dramatising yeah sorry

'extorted' wrong - more like 'persuaded by numerous falsehoods inc. seduction'

it's low shit either way

some dramatic licence taken there lj tbh

less an xls and more a mood board

improvise a clusterfuck thread

"How Bizarre" vs "Mambo No 5"

my xls is usually p spot on and I was in fact bragging of this in the slack earlier, this is a v embarrassing incident

*amends xls*

😭
