once i find out a poster is too young to remember things i was an adult for, i try not to have a take on their bad takes. i leave the take alone for their peers to dissemble

I am wetter than Brandon Marsh.

Repeat after me: I am not wetter than Slavoj Zizek. I am not wetter than Peter Thiel. I am not wetter than Jamelle Bouie. I am not wetter than George Santos. But if I stand back and watch and learn, I will be wetter than I am.

Number 5 is such a tell that you have no idea what marginalization entails.

See the lonely boy Out on the weekend Tryna make it pay 😢 😭 😭

I miss when Twitter was just a place where you would say "im the hell dude" and we all would grin and high five each other because this made weird racists pants poopingly mad for some reason.

Taking the time to execute a 3 point backin to a parking spot you will sit in for 10 minutes before leaving is absolutely deranged behavior

another fantastic cybersmith moment, from during a thread about being abused by my mother: "what if britain didn't burn the white house in 1814 and it just sorta did that on its own"

I have to imagine that the average Threads influencer is someone you'd mistake for a rabid animal if you met them in person.

why the fuck is she on a horse for this picture? was this photo taken in wyoming? is that why the score was so high? that’s a really unfair standard for men.
