Misinformation feels good and makes you feel like you have special, hidden knowledge. Professional advice is boring and mundane.

Wish I could claim credit for it, but I just stole it from much wittier folks.

It won’t mean anything. Whoever they pick will likewise be an incompetent fascist cretin, just like WhiskeyLeaks.

On one hand, he’s not wrong.

On the other hand, he can fuck off. He had internal polling showing him losing in a landslide and he still hung on for far too long afterwards, sabotaging efforts to build a winning campaign by the eventual nominee. Biden is the man who lost the fucking republic through his vanity and hubris.

Ah yes, return to patronage, surely this could never be a horrific thing for artists and engineers

With what majority?

Goodness, if only there was some form of action we could’ve taken which would’ve led to some other result than a diaper-shitting manchild playing Red Light, Green Light with the world economy.

Trump is incredibly weak. It blows my mind that anyone looks at that slug and sees anything other than a despicable, pathetic cretin.

“What the fuck is going on, are you fucking stupid”

“Yes, finally, they’re reaching out to us for negotiations!”

And still supporting him now, no doubt.

“We haven’t seen anything like this” says demographic hit hard by something like this by the same exact fuckwit a few years ago.

That’s one hell of a fucking take.

Fucking Christ. This timeline gets stupider and stupider.

Something changed culturally between Usenet and the things that came after.

But the extent to which the fediverse seems to like to do this stuff just seems really extreme to me, and a lot of times what it’s based on is just weird petty bullying nonsense.

Not saying that it isn’t a problem, but as someone who’s been Around™ online, this is pretty par-for-the-course stuff.

Ah, to remember the glory days of Livejournal and Tumblr… and don’t get me started back in the days when every fandom had a dozen sites which all hated each other for vague and extremely personal reasons.
