@cstross I vaguely remember her being creepily Putin-fetishist from way back.

@cstross I used to think reality was being scripted by a Czech absurdist with a hangover, on a Monday morning.

Now I'm wondering if it's driven more by autocorrect than by hangover. And how I might be able to tell.

@cstross Is it defecting or emigrating? Seriously don’t know. I hope she’s happy there…

@cstross <insert Tombstone “well, bye” gif>

@cstross She thinks she's going to be living the sweet life, eating caviar and drinking champagne with her friend Maria Butina. In fact, she'll be standing in line for day-old groceries if she doesn't "fall" out of the first available window. I think this is going to be one of the few times when stupid turns out to be painful.

@cstross

Did the sanctions affect her pay transfers?

There's a few others who should be following her in the near future, then.

@cstross One suspects that she actually defected years ago but made the physical move only recently.

@cstross Who were her friends in the government, and is anyone looking into them? Because...I kinda think someone should at least have a cursory glance at any gov't employees she hung out with.

@cstross Maybe she and Snowden can share flat in Moscow.

@cstross we’re already seeing fallout from the writers’ strike.
