Exactly what I was going to say. Republicans are doing what they always do (not actually supporting workers but calling themselves a working class party because they have an adorably narrow definition of working class) but I think the real story here is Biden being completely fucking useless. Not a *surprise* as you…

This was pitched as an article?

Oh, that’s great to hear! I’m a big fan of her videos and really wondered what kind of tone she’d be striking. I can’t wait to watch.

It’s fascinating how often members of the royal family assert that they want to help Diana and are there for her and...never really demonstrate that in any meaningful way. 

I absolutely agree, I just genuinely don’t know who they’d even be willing to run. I very much didn’t want to vote Biden in the first place and super-super don’t want to be more or less “forced” to do so again!

I love being around in 2022, when the HALLMARK CHANNEL is just a bit too woke for some. What a time!

The depiction of Sydney was extremely offputting in this episode, and especially fascinating to me given the royal family and racism in general (which, as noted, they sure don’t seem to want to get into!) and that, cynically, one might even think this was an attempt at offsetting the blinding whiteness of the show and…

You’re completely right in how it plays, but there’s an interesting thread here that pops up later in the season in which they continue to emphasize their “support” for Diana and, uh, spoiler alert? No?

The thing is, I think the show ITSELF is more sympathetic to aspects of the system and in writing this probably even…

My guess is a blockchain type thing - it’s happened to me before. Not to say that there aren’t valid reasons people would block me (my politics are very strident and annoying!) but more than once I’ve been blocked by an account I couldn’t figure out and it was a deal where they’d had an issue with someone I follow or…

Right, and that’s been the issue since Ye started in on this. You’d laugh it off as a bunch of shitty stuff spoken by people who don’t know what they’re talking about, but it’s having actual impacts and it’s in a “...but it’s true, right?” kinda way and it sucks.

That’s the most interesting facet of his career at this point - I’m failing to see the actual jokes. And I don’t mean that in a “bigotry isn’t okay!” way (it isn’t!) but like, in a “no, really, it’s not even attempting to be a joke, it’s just clear social commentary and complaining with pauses for laughter. The fuck?” 

One of the foundational reasons Musk established for wanting ownership was what he openly vocalized as perceived liberal-leaning stances on moderation in general; you have to be fully naive and gullible to assume any form of twitter under his leadership would be neutral.

MOreover, based upon the manner in which it’s…

Right, this doesn’t do a thing to clarify the answer. It’s still abysmal.

I’m still so disappointed in Depp being involved in the Savage x Fenty show. It’s really fucking awful.

Right, even if we assume there was a confrontation prior to filming, Smigo is directly pushing this with the statement about expecting to not work. This is incredible.

The mortality rate for Black people who are pregnant is significantly higher and you fucking wonder why. Bastards.

When I went through this with a boss “did you already tell him not to or?” was absolutely one of the first questions.

Even “progressive” companies still put initial onus on a victim to make it stop and always frame it around “how could he know not to?”

I think there’s a component here that’s like “it would be helpful if people who are in bodies that are really difficult to obtain without time, money, resources people don’t have if they’re not rich/famous” but at this point I just question the utility of calling it out again and again. It feels weird. 

I’m seeing more and more of this and I’m frustrated. I am not saying we can’t talk about queerbaiting as an idea and a thing that happens in specific situations, but what I’m now seeing is a system whereby we demand to know someone’s exact sexuality to determine things - and yeah, it’s forcing you to out yourself.

When…

That’s what is so hilarious to me, clearly both sides of this equation feel they’re being repressed in some capacity but absolutely nothing stops people from breezing into my twitter replies to tell me to put myself in an oven or kill myself for being trans. But thank heavens Elon is here to...make that even easier to…
