To be fair dickhead butthole
useless GOP majorities always pass the same stupid shit & fight the same stupid fights instead of the things people ask for

say what you will about Russell Brand, nothing about his case suggests that writing an autobiography about what a sexual predator you were is the greatest idea or even a very good one no matter how much it gets you get laid on the book tour
The reason there’s so much mudslinging about who was friends with Russell Brand is because no one who had a high profile back then wants to actually reflect on what the 2000s were like.
Brand was the last man to be valorised for his sexual exploits, something that was completely normal from the 1960s until the early 2010s. No one wants to reflect on the fact 85% of his fans were female.
His political turn was when we were in a transitional period where there couldn’t be *another* Russell Brand, but there was still an *actual* Russell Brand.
More interesting than left-wing politicians trying to get a photo with a celebrity was the reaction to Sachsgate years earlier. Left-liberal columnists rushed to complain that most people who wrote to the BBC about it had been encouraged to do so by The Daily Mail and hadn’t actually listened to the radio show.
It’s much easier to post a picture of Owen Jones on stage with Russell Brand that it is to actually think about any of those things with any real depth.
So there will be a few sacrificial lambs (I suspect Jonathan Ross‘s career is over) but no one‘s actually going to have the balls to put their head over the parapet and note that the 2000s were very different time, but a lot of of the faces are still the same.
The moral certainty that many people condemning him have just reflects the fashion of the age and that they all once felt very differently, laughing along to his persona and reading his Booky Wook approvingly.

it’s wild how for probably thousands of years men sent their wives & children away to safety when danger appeared & it took until the 20th century for a group of men to say “hey. what would happen if we fled first?”
Anyone who can’t see that this system works WAY better isn’t paying attention

Libtards always give bears the benefit of the doubt - it’s their land, you’re on it; murder is the only option
I say we give asylum seekers chunks of bear country each time there’s a mauling to teach the bears that maulings have consequences

Did you see how the bears murdered that woman & her daughter out on a walk? My favorite thing about bear attacks is how everyone acts like oh well it’s their land
Men were mad at women for choosing bears in woods but obviously bears have more political power & hypergamy wins

a friend was ranting about all the jobs that ai is replacing when it occurred to me that one job that’s safe is crackhead
Some say we must export all aliens. Others say we must repeal the 19th (somehow?!)
I say we must bring back duels. Everything else will flow from its effects, but a society that hurls vile insults at itself must be corrected
I still lowkey think people in groups behave like particles & that as population density grows certain political positions are inevitable. One needs rugged individualism to survive in low density & it’s obnoxious in high density, stuff like that. Dense areas are dem areas
“I don’t understand how good people can like Charlie Kirk” - honest. assertive. respectful
“I’m glad Charlie Kirk is dead & guess he’s in hell” - honest. aggressive. insulting
A difference between assertion & aggression is anger. Angry people don’t listen & jump to conclusions

I have two questions for Dave Chappell:
1. What are your thoughts on the Roger Fortson case?
2. if your answer to #1 is “who is Roger Fortson?” why do you think that is?

If Dave Chappell can’t be decent about Charlie Kirk then he has no right to expect me to care about George Floyd
I think he knows that, which is why his words are so troubling. He’s gloating because he thinks he’s won
Terribly disappointing but highly educational. Anyway, war.
thinking about Russell Brand,
the Cornell 7…women, & it occurs to me that one difference between men and women is that men always seem to know that they’re getting raped at the time & never later after talking to their friends about it. I wonder why that is.

the brutal fem dictatorship at the yoga studio insists on ending classes with they gay little bell that they ring and won’t even consider my tactical yoga idea where classes/meditation ends with three instructors barging in banging trashcan lids telling everyone to get the fuck out and then we go on a forced march. They look at me like I’m crazy & I say sis you’re leaving a pile of cash on the table

Twitter crazy is pretty manageable, honestly. Other apps do a better job making you feel like you’re in Jacob’s Ladder
