@barbarismcrit "Not liking an elected official" has existed since democracy has existed and it immediately replaced "not liking the king", it's not a pathology

Can we please finally do away with calling everything a derangement syndrome I beg you
Cole Sandick🌹🇵🇸🇺🇦🇸🇩@ColeSandick
AOC derangement syndrome is a defining crisis for the American left. The fact that a bunch of leftists want to destroy our best shot at the presidency (by far) has almost no precedent, it’d be like if a bunch of conservatives in the 1970s spent all their time attacking Reagan.

@keithdorejel Not ideal that the guy who'd be the strongest critic of empire and foreign policy in the US Senate would also be "the Nazi tattoo guy." But truly insane to think that letting Republicans keep the senate is some kind of moral victory.

I think people fail to understand that these kinds of hit jobs just don’t really work anymore. Platner’s got some big red flags in his background but voters don’t seem to care because they like what he has to say and his vision.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

@LauraJedeed He also speaks so quickly that he can't say the word "president" without screwing up at least one consonant. He says president all of the time.

Re: "Vaguely": Stephen Miller is a monster and sits at the very top of my "people I hope die horribly in a fire" list. But I'm talking about his voice specifically, divorced from actual content
English
One of the reasons Stephen Miller sounds so petulent and annoying is that he upspeaks: he ends sentences at a higher tone than he started
This feminine-coded upspeaking, combined with constant attempts to signal hypermasculinity, are why he sounds pathetic and vaguely unhinged

@ettingermentum If I were him I'd be going the RFK Jr route of trying to primary JD as a Republican, do decent numbers, then sell out and endorse an amenable Democrat to get the insane parts of his agenda absorbed into their admin. Hope that's not what happens!

Massie starting off at/near double digits, wow

Thought I remembered this guy! Back in September 2024 he falsified a bunch of benchmarks about his open source model, which was really just llama 3 70b or possibly a Claude wrapper. Great stuff

@johnsemley3000 @Srirachachau Bin Laden doing all the Wall Market side quests so Don Corneo picks him

@Srirachachau Final Fantasy VII, too. hilarious to think about OBL knowing all about Rufus and the Turks.

Something I love bringing up to every friend is the fact that Bin Laden had Leisure Suit Larry on there. That’s so funny, an old school pervert

@brianstelter I guess it's okay to walk into a mosque with a bunch of screaming conservatives and start "interviewing" the Imam in the middle of prayer.
Got it.

Don Lemon's new statement, reflecting what he said outside court moments ago:

You try going to the movies these days to check in on Anora and they’re not even playing anything about her. Why do they get us attached to these characters and then just drop them???

they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

@ZaraRahim Welcome to communism, poverty and despair. You get what you vote for and I am so hyped to see what you people are going to be saying after four years of this.

@ettingermentum Democrats have never been playing on easy mode like this. The other side has to do nuanced responses as to why they don't fully support Hitler but agree in spirit, Dems just have to do Bernie 2016

@dennisbhooper Any five cent poster can do a season 1 Don pitch, takes a certain caliber to do a late season 6 one.

@MandelaFace I'd put the odds a little higher, given that Vince Gilligan's last two shows were about a person who chooses to ruin their life even though they were given multiple off ramps that would make them happy
