naye: I love it when everyone's been up so long you start getting this kind of punch-drunk reporting.

I love it when everyone's been up so long you start getting this kind of punch-drunk reporting.

Source is from this fast moving live updates: www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... And here's the source on Osiris the piece helpfully links to, phallus detail and all: www.britannica.com/topic/Osiris...

So, what happened to the... oh nevermind it's the GOP candidate for US President

🤣🤢

Also interestingly: they couldn't find his dong, so Isis carved him one out of wood. I am not familiar enough with UK politics to follow this metaphor to its conclusion.

Thank you! I feel the above needed that additional context.

Well there is someone who's job description is "Black Rod", so...

WHOSE dammit.

…this is the second time recently I’ve seen people acting like Osiris magically put himself back together. His wife did it.

To be fair to whichever of the live update journalists who wrote that, they did dutifully link to a source saying just that! www.britannica.com/topic/Osiris...

ahahaha this is beautiful

That last paragraph!! "Interestingly..."

Except that Osiris lost one - ahem - important bit when they revived him Famously his phallus got misplaced ... So maybe they'll sort of most of them be back eventually

But they won't be a dick anymore?

Somehow they'll still manage to cock it up.

But that's essential to their brand

I am down for a dismembered party that will never again rise from the depths of hell to which it has been consigned! Let's see if we can manage the same in the US!

Aren't Tories mostly racist? Why are they using Egyptian gods now for their BS rhetoric?

Probably for "Classics" reason, but you'd have to ask the guy who said it! (Who was so abysmal that he stood down as MP before the election rather than get his ass handed to him.) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwasi_K...

Kwasi Kwarteng - Wikipediaen.m.wikipedia.org

People in politics will really drive me mad with their way of thinking. Also yes let us use the "classics" to talk about our BS. Meh. It's tiring but at least people there are enjoying making fun of them for now.
