I’ve now watched the entirety of last night’s @TheRoastTV and if you haven’t then you have failed at human. https://t.co/YkVHMRnSNj
I do, however, really want @TheRoastTV’s purple seahorse hoverboat thing for my very own.
@sylmobile Yeah, @TheRoastTV is kinda outclassing all concepts of class.
Watching last night’s @TheRoastTV. The first 180 seconds alone are worth the price of admission. I’ve wet myself. https://t.co/YkVHMRnSNj

@xntrik Hey, I fucked up. I withdraw my comment. That’s what you do, right? (Yes, I know that some turds don’t. God will judge them.)
OK, I have deleted a tweet re @C_Pyne_MP and @TwitterAU because apparently I cannot read. As you were.

ruth_parslow @hughriminton @Asher_Wolf It must be that lifters are allowed to be bigots because they’re good guys but leaners should mind what they say.
So, @SnarkyPlatypus, how would the Coriolis Effect affect a spin doctor? Which way do they go down the toilet?
I’m of the impression that you arseholes who think you’re “politically aware†but haven’t watched @PupGov are liars. https://t.co/4W6swf1vOU
hughriminton So the woman involved in the rant on the train has been arrested. But I’m confused. Didn’t the A-G say everyone has a right to be a bigot?

@johncarneyau @GrogsGamut May I draw your attention to @PupGov? https://t.co/IooTzlgwxN
@BXGD @elronxenu @thegrugq Thank you, that’s a great clarifier. We don’t get good reporting on the concepts at this distance.
@GrogsGamut @johncarneyau Assuming, that is, that there were some sort of competent political organisation making propaganda against Hockey.
@GrogsGamut @johncarneyau I’m not saying that’s a fair or valid argument from the numbers, but that it could be sustained as propaganda.
@GrogsGamut @johncarneyau Wow THAT far back! So it could even be argued, if one were uncharitable, that Hockey killed a vital recovery.
@BXGD @thegrugq True, but it does seem that some folks make assumptions about intent based on skin colour.
