Will anybody at all be even remotely surprised if it turns out the world class intellects in the PMO just forgot to keep paying the agent in China who is the official front for that WeChat account and they more or less just said "screw it, it's ours now."

SMS spam just arrived "You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen" and misgendering aside, I've seen pictures of me and...yikes!

An essay in response to The Discourse on an excerpt from Heather Havilresky's book, in which she uses irony to state how she loves her husband despite his flaws.
