    That woman is determined to fill her life with adventure. Although I suspect she might be the mother of Florida Man.

    Beadle, I just want to register my very measured and tiny hope here.

    I don't think he's gonna go down from this but I think it's gonna be mighty close and, like Theresa May before him, might prove fatal in the long run.

    If he does go down, I am going to laugh so hard, I'm going to rupture something.

    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.
    - C.S. Lewis

    Dude is high level. Ridiculously high level.

    I know DB tends to be liberal in their application of feats and capacities and all that but, this feels a bit off.

    Goddamit, I watched the thing and there's so many ridiculous assertions in there about how both Magneto and Tetsuo work.

    Also, the animation has Tetsuo deciding to punch Magneto for some reason rather than just... you know... using his overwhelming enormous psychic powers as he does in pretty much every combat encounter in the both the manga and the anime.

    I've got a rather nice bottle of whiskey which I will permit myself to have a glass of on a Monday if he goes down.

    I'm not expecting him to and he will doubtless be replaced by someone similarly bad, but Johnson is specifically dangerous.

    Mhairi Black did a good speech on it in the chamber a while back.

    It's Death Battle.
    It is and this is why I hadn't watched the show in literally years.

    But AKIRA is one of those properties that I have strong feelings about and I got got on this occasion.

    Tetsuo, punching some one, good lord.

    Now I'm curious as to what kind. Whiskey, that is.

    It's a good speech - rather makes the point. And brutally cutting.

    I tried watching a couple back in the day, but gave up. Every discussion about it since has continued to confirm that I'm good with not watching it.

    I don’t think he’ll go either, but goddammit I hope so.

    The man is a pox.

    A 12 year old bottle of Glenfiddich, it was leaving gift from old job and I've been chipping away at it over the last three months or so.

    I have a lot of admiration for Mhairi Black, one of our youngest serving MPs and she has only improved with time. It's a slight shame she's in the SNP, if only because that slightly limits her political growth in some respects.

    Quite right. I am very intrigued to see how it shakes down.

    Indeed, but 148 against is real bad.

    May had 133 against and she was considered politically toxic after that despite surviving. That said, Johnson has form with defying standard rules of political gravity, so we'll see what occurs. A lot of pundits being like "Yikes,"
