Good news everyone! Today’s lil Twitter roundup is almost entirely Trump-free! Instead, it’s got dancing otters, a creepy hedgehog, and Chris Christie cradling nachos like a mama gorilla. Also, some angry gamers and a weird new conspiracy theory about Obama.
Let’s get ready to twumble!

And don't ever again question Chris Christie's humanity after seeing him cradle those nachos like a mother primate cradling its young.

Damn, I could really use some nachos right about now. Nachos are awesome.
Hedgehog cake, not so much.

MEN! Accentuate parts of your body you like e.g. good legs, to draw attention away from problem areas e.g. the things you do and say.

I’m still thinking about those nachos.
Well that didn’t work.
So umm…how do you make pictures show up?
I tried to link from Flickr but..:(
Who will be next? Bannon, Sessions, Tillerson, CONWAY???
Tune in next time to The Apprentice: Whitehouse Edition
@Gussie Jives:
Sorry, I went out for ramen at this new place and then I had to roll around all full. I would totally be interested! Don’t worry about being weirded out by your own voice; even mine sounds weird to me, and I made a living off of it. You just have to trust it doesn’t sound as strange to others as it does to you, if it does. Mine sounds boyish to me, but recorded and to others it’s very feminine. It’s the bones in your head making you sound weird. Don’t trust your head-bones. (And just have fun with it. LOL.)
@Friendly Neighborhood Dragon Arthur:
Ahahaha. Fair point. I apologize to hydras!
@JS & dr. ej:
That is… not even surprising at all 🙁 Oi.
Ohlmann:
Well, the Mooch lasted minus 16 days (by official start date), so that’s going to be hard to beat. To be sacked before you start, I think you need to suck faster than the speed of light.
Wuh… wuh… why does the hedgehog cake say “I SAW” on the side? WHAT DOES IT KNOW?
@Lumen8
Yeah, I suppose it’s more of a “working up the courage” kind of thing. I’d been kicking around the back of my mind for some time, but time and nerves have kept me from executing it. I think it’s high time I gave it a shot.
Something tells me that cake isn’t gonna go fast…
I’m so sorry 🙁
@Jesalin
Some sites don’t embed. Not sure if flikr is one of em, but that should be noted. Testing
Behind that, so long as the url ends in a jpg, gif, or png file extension, you copy the url, paste it into the comment box (on its on line) and the little magic computer mammoths should do the rest 🙂
My favorite take on the deMoochification – “Taking a job at the Trump White House is like being hired to teach Defense against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.”
And congratulations, dreemr – your post was the first I’d heard about it.
In other news, Joe Arpaio has been found guilty:

Mooch is out ?
Aaaaaw.
Well, at least Mooch can get some consolation from his wife and kids- Oh, wait.
Such lovely schadenfreude.
Is “negative-15 days” a record for holding a white house office?
I kinda hope he goes full lone wolf and starts doing his thing independently. Would be a shame to see all that talent go to waste.
@opposablethumbs
I invested in a trackball and a wrist rest (a nice beanbag one that’s comfy). This prevents my wrist from moving. It doesn’t work for everyone, but I have carpal tunnel and am asymptomatic so yay!
Arpaio guilty and that slimeball Mooch out.
Good day, good day.
@kupo
The beanbag wrist rest works for me, too. My CT hasn’t flared up in the 3 years I’ve used one, and it used to be baaaad.
Hoo nelly this means that the meltdowns are accelerating. If mooch can’t even last long enough to work who would want to take a position with such high turnover?
re: Arpaio, he’s demanding an appeal and jury trial. If he gets it, there’s no way to find 12 people without one of them being a trumpanzee.
lol sorry I just read your comment @Robert Walker-Smith – yay, I broke a story on WHTM!!
I think this says much more about how I spend my workday 😉
This is glorious. Firing someone before their start date? That is just so perfectly emblematic of the actual organization of this administration.
@Axe
Thanks for the help but I still couldn’t find a share option that included any kind of extension.
Fortunately I remembered I have an Imgur account!
My reaction to Mr. Mobster being fired before he even officially started:

*ahem* Hello, yes, I run LP channel, am YouTuber. Hello.
But in all seriousness, I bought this game to LP some time ago, but haven’t had the time to really get around to it with meatspace stuff getting in the way. I’m in the middle of a Fallout New Vegas LP with my roommate right now, but I wouldn’t mind doing that next! 😀
I’m trying to go for one upload a week, usually on Monday (as that’s my day off). I have some experience with video editing (I edit all my videos currently), and I’m very good at talking to myself.
@Jesalin
Woot!
Ha!
What really happened to Mooch:

(my insincerest apologies if this leaves anyone else with the scarring mental image of him being a magical girl)
@Gussie Jives
I don’t know what 7th Guest is, but I’m chiming in to say that it doesn’t matter if your project interests others. It matters if you want to do it or think it should be done.
@Paradoxical Intention
Hello! I’m not on YouTube because speaking out loud terrifies me. But I have a blog, and I’m doing an LP of Star Wars: Empire at War there. It’s slow, but I wanna do it.
I remember having a lot of fun with screenshot-based LPs in the past, and this is my attempt to do something similar LESS the nazi-filled websites.
