Look at the rest of these future mass shooter’s post comment history. Unhinged.

Right?! I’m sure had she called the cops in Uvalde, they would have leaped into action at the word of a German teenager telling them about weird posts and messages on IG. They definitely wouldn’t have rolled their eyes and halfheartedly poked around.

I live in Chicago. We are also apparently being blamed.

How were they to know he was anything other than a regular jerk, especially a kid in Germany where they are used to American blowhards acting tough. Blame America’s lax gunlaws, not a pair of kids who had little to no context for whatever this asshole was doing.

He was right to do it and the fucking rednecks up on stage reacted predictably... hypocritically calling him out for incivility while using language that wouldn’t meet anyone’s definition of civility

Having politicians hold a press conference after the shooting DEFINATELY isn’t politicizing it.

McLaughlin called O’Rourke a “sick son of a bitch” for trying to “politicize” the shooting[.]

And this is why I drive around with a “Beto for Texas” sticker on my car in Dallas and routinely get the bird from my “neighbors.” My southern politeness hates incivility, but damn, he is right and I am glad he has the guts to speak out to the horrible humans sitting on that stage. My fellow Texans just chose that

It is the exact moment another shooting occurs, at which point the timer resets.

We need at least 60 more Betos in the Senate, please.

Maybe folks of European ancestry should consider going back where they came from.

She is on tape admitting to hitting him to stop him drunkenly crushing her toes against a door. Wow. How abusive of her. And oh shit, she hasn’t been able to give that money to charity amid being sued repeatedly by her ex. I forgot that defending yourself in multiple libel and defamation trials is totally free!

It’s so bizarre that people are this threatened by the idea that beauty comes in all flavors.

I haven’t been watching it (who needs to when the media breathlessly covers every little thing about it) but my big takeaway (which may be related to your comment) is just how blindly (almost ferally) Depp’s stans defend him.  JFC, it’s like I wandered into a cult meeting and said “hey, the cult leader has no clothes

Right? I don’t get people. They pick apart every little action she does and read malice in it and then when Johnny Depp smirks, starts coloring, etc. he is adorable? I am not even asking them to take her side at this point but stop pretending they are body language experts (which is junk science anyways). 

It’s so bizarre that people are this threatened by the idea that beauty comes in all flavors.  If you’re not personally interested, move along!  No one is coming to your house to force you to love a certain way, except for conservatives.  What a boring world we would live in if everyone enjoyed exactly the same thing.

Now I want a cheddar bay biscuit

Wait. What?

Even JJ Abrams can’t follow up a JJ Abrams film lol.

I’m at least a moderate fan of most of Taika Waititi’s oeuvre.  Rian Johnson's too.  Quality offerings from enthusiastic creators.  I'm easy.
