It is hard to believe that King is confused about all the attention that the tween orgy scene has received when the novel itself spends so much energy to buffer the reader’s reaction.

That sounds amaaaaaaazing. Wait, now you’re persuading me, you manipulative manipulator, you!

The interviewer notes that Linton had to be persuaded to pose in “beautiful dresses,”

This woman has a set of Balls & Galas on her to expect us to accept this bullshit Mea Culpa.

When are we, the electorate, going to wake up and realize that the Democrat/Republican dichotomy is working as it should. There’s no bargaining with Democrat politicians. They are not just waiting around for “the right moment” to “grow a backbone”. They’re doing what the current system necessitates. Their mediocrity…

The hottest take I saw on Twitter, and I sadly can’t locate it right now, was that rant “is what it would look like if Marie Antoinette was on Facebook”.

As a descendant of slaves - nooooope. This is a dumb take. They were wrong, they knew it, the SLAVES knew it.. and *most of the western world knew it. It was wrong then and now and there’s still no justification for their actions or their memorials.

A lot of white people got exactly the wrong message from Get Out.

But fuck it feels like white women can’t win.
