Tumblr is self-destructing and the entire conservative government just got found to be in contempt of parliament for the first time in HISTORY this is the greatest 24h of my life
What did I miss?!
Oh man. This is absolutely golden.
So first off. What’s contempt of parliament? In short, obstructing parliament from its duties. In the UK that extends to publication of reports and papers that would be necessary for parliament to, well, parliament. Normally this extends to an individual person being especially obstructive.
Now. The Conservative government obtained legal advice for the Brexit shitshow. But they refused to publish it in full which means parliament (which includes, y’know, opposition parties and non-conservatives in general) can’t parliament.
What reason could they possibly have to refuse to publish legal advice on something that effects the whole country? I wonder. Hmm. Thinking emoji.
Anyway. Today the entire Conservative government have been found to be in contempt of Parliament. The entire government have been found to be obstructing the proper running of the country. We hold votes on that sort of thing, and the general consensus (18-vote majority) was “the Tories are obstructive little pigshits”
Also they have to publish that legal advice. In full. Tomorrow.
No word yet on whether the entire government is going to be sent to the Elizabeth Tower yet. We haven’t done that since the 1880s but I’m willing to bring it back.
Glorious!
Isn’t it?
The government is on fire, bring your own marshmallows
hey where can we get some of that ‘ruling against a whole fucking government’, I wanna import that trend
I made a menorah!!! I’m travelling at the moment and forgot to pack one, but hey, just a frame and some cute dollar store shells and sand packets and BOOM a beachy menorah is suddenly in my airbnb 😅
Okay but can we talk about this though, we all know the movie Shrek, the big green ogre.
But did you know it’s based of a picture book names, “Shrek!” published in 1990. It’s a book about an ugly ogre (hence the Yiddish work Shrek) goes around to see the world and ends up saving a princess (so almost literally the entire first Shrek movie’s plot). Here’s what it looked like:
Guess who wrote the book? A cartoonist names William Steig.
Guesss what? That’s right he’s Polish Jewish.
Shrek was created by a Jewish person. And, since he’s named after a Yiddish word, Shrek is quite literally a Jewish icon.
Cheers.
best addition to this post everyone else can go home
also, maybe his living in poor conditions outside the rest of the city was indicative of the shtetl? and donkey was a poor non-Jew who had nothing to lose by being friends with Shrek?? The possibilities are endless
YESSSS!!!!
Maybe the inclusion of the song Hallelujah (written by Leonard Cohen, also jewish) was more intentional than initially thought?
Does that mean that at the end Princess Fiona converts when she turns into an ogre??
