And yeah a lot of it was about COVID and the backlash to COVID. It was also about the backlash to BLM but honestly I think that was all just an excuse. Obvious MAGA type racists weren’t the only ones who were tired of Black people. Plenty of people on this website were (are) tired of Black people.

The Biden era was supposed to signal “hey, we’re keeping he train on the track, but we’ll slow down a little and let y’all catch up.” And instead it seems like people decided it meant “the libs know they’ve gone too far. We’re going back to normal now.”

Unrelatedly, it is so funny that they hired a little girl who looks 12x more like Diana Ross than she does like Tracee Ellis Ross lmao.

I’m a little conflicted bc some of the best stuff did hit in like 2017 but yeah the best was all clearly created / in production in the late Obama years.

I have some thoughts about didacticism but mostly I’m just thinking about how do we avoid leaning into another reactionary moment like we did by choosing Joe Biden.

Zuckerberg went from talking about teaching girls to code and opposing the Muslim ban under Trump I to a right wing chud under Biden

I mean, I straight up totally agree with this. I think the backlash to BLM summer was the start of the modern conservative cultural moment, in part because it got to the heads of tech executives and op-ed writers and the like in a way that Trump I never did.

many very attractive people are saying this, we must retvrn

Watching an old episode of Mixed-Ish and wow the Obama era (continuing on the cultural level into Trump 1) was just so much better than now. Sorry. It just was. Way better. Overwhelmingly better.

My point isn’t “this is why the left is bad,” it’s “this is why treating your faction as if it has the Mandate of Heaven will eventually lead you into disaster.” Think for yourself. There are total screwups on every team

"SENATOR MALLOW IS TOO LOW-T FOR MAINE" "low-t, you say? thank you, i've been trying to keep it that way" "FUCK"

honestly, picking someone with purple hair and pronouns hasn't been tried as a way to deflect "purple hair and pronouns 😱😱😱" attacks yet

I have faith they you have a better chance of defeating Susan Collins than the current democratic nominee. Google dot com does USPS ship people to Maine

they're right. remember the old saying

guys i swear to fuck if i somehow end up senator of maine

guess that would explain your campaign poster, then

i am a very serious political account

don’t listen to this keep posting

People (or maybe this was all one person) said they liked Platner because he wasn't "smoothgroined" and he was fighting back against HR ladies, and now are like aw man, I didn't know he was a rapist. Yes you did. That's what you liked about him.

i think im slowly turning more nb4nb

women are witches, men are wizards and enbies are mages obvs

god i bet the canon third option is so fucking goofy in the alternate timeline where rowling doesn't contract genocidal twitter poisoning but is still Like That as a writer

Women are witches, men are warlocks and NBs are conjurers. And this is why I will never rest easy about Witch Hat Atelier, no matter how pretty it is.

Eight: abjurers, transmuters, diviners, conjurers, evokers, enchanters, illusionists, and necromancers.

I guess...credit for remembering trans men exist? /s

well we had to pick one because removing all 3 would be cruel and unusual punishment, and out of all of them #2 seemed to be the most efficient

the crop this year was horrendous except for you

... trying to figure out what this even means and dramatically failing

*how many types of magician/sorcerers are there?* [Biden voice] At least three, don't play games with me kid

This could be the title of an incredible self-help book

It’s interesting that I think some of the tumblr witches clued in to this enough to throw in disclaimers without moving past the essentialism. Lots of “sorry men, only women (and trans women) can be witches!”

its never too early for organ donation

there's a certain sort of archetype of guy where you can basically predict in advance is more committed to in-group/out-group dynamics w/r/t looking avant-garde than they are to any sort of left or liberal politics

this economy is horrible

look at the genius on display. Platner will be exonerated in no time

is there an -ocracy word for rule by Nazi pedophile radio shock jock

,

feels bad that we're at the "Xitter pundits lamenting the fact they weren't on Jeff's island because he was actually a pretty cool dude" part of.... whatever this is

ok mostly just one guy (that i know of) but STILL

"they found your old kink blog"

"here, we made a map detailing your throwup locations" "that's it?" "oh, you need to zoom out. little further. little further, that's it." [view of Earth from the Moon]

which isn’t to say that an embarrassing night or ten should disqualify someone from public office (unlike, say, sexual assault and nazi tattoos). i just have a low tolerance for public humiliation.

What he means by “the Bluesky crowd” is just libs and women, both of whom he clearly hates.

“remember that time you threw up outside the” is enough to quash any candidacy dreams i might have entertained in another life

...alright that's enough posting for today
