    Not a big fan of gossip, but my buddy sent me these. You may connect the dots. Let’s just hope the pre-nup is bulletproof.

          Just dead naming Twitter to get a rise is 33% of the reason I still do it.

          The other 66% is fuck musk, and the remaining one percent is i just can’t be bothered…

            You are doing more to keep that network propped up by accommodating the lie that people who are still on that hateful network keep telling themselves. “It’s still Twitter. I’m not a member of X!” No, Twitter is dead.

            Just call it X and don’t let them hide the support they are giving Musk.

              The name is just a name. Whatever you call it won’t change what people think of it, why people use it, or the fact that it’s a social media platform for the brain dead.

          That’s being too nice to the people still propping up his hateful network.

          It’s X. Delete your account if you don’t want the Musk association.

          Calling it Twitter does more to keep that network alive.

          Or stop accommodating the last few asshats on that network that are still tricking themselves into believing it’s the old Twitter.

          Call it X to everyone that uses it. Don’t let them hide or deny the fact that they are supporting Musk.

    This lady is more insane than the crazy Missouri one who just uploaded nonstop offensive clips everywhere that didn’t kick her out. I say that because she’s crazy enough to stay visibly calm while spouting her absolutely hatred-fueled bullshit. That is seriously scary.

    Can we stop platforming small insignificant bigots just because they say stupid and awful shit and happen to be somehow tangentially related to Trump or the GOP? This is how these psychos get the notoriety that earns them seats in congress where their bigotry actually matters, ala MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, etc. I had never heard of this lady yesterday, and now I’m seeing multiple national news stories about her aggressive bigotry and indecency. Not only was I happier yesterday, but she was also less electable yesterday because this shit, incredibly, unfortunately, sells on the Right. Fucking stop. Just stop it.

      It’s hard, because the media is rightfully pointing a spotlight at her saying “wow, look at this racist dirtbag who’s in drumpfs inner circle! This shit is disqualifying!” and then alt-right dicktater-lovers see that and say “that’s our girl!”

      It’s like… you can’t fault the news for bringing attention to the appalling behavior of people in positions of power/influence. It’s just that all the racists are mask-off now and drumpf is appealing directly to them, as opposed to trying to reach any moderate voter.

      Fortunately it seems that most alt-right racist opportunists only ever get a glimpse of success, as their base is one that is forever moving goalposts, and will eat their own at the slightest hint that they’re not as racist as them. They burn brightly, and then fade away with their reputations forever stained, only ever gaining employment through attempts to re-validate their xenophobic/hateful credentials. It’s a pitiful excuse for a life.
