Monologuist. I'm the one.
This is a great point, and even though Graham took the entirely wrong lesson from it, it's fucking true and is the essential antidote to conspiracism.
JD Vance eulogizing Lindsey Graham, inadvertently highlighting one of the many reasons Graham was an amoral piece of shit who was in the game to play it, not to help people or his country.
It's a greek tragedy over and over, and the crack in the face of one's character is exposed by Tiresias, I mean Chotiner.
I’m old enough to remember when this moron was protesting at Shakespeare at the Park.
Terrible. Can someone tell me what form of fuckery is this thing where adulthood now seems to begin at 19? Is this a push, a bureaucratic change—it’s really bizarre to me.
Isn't this the mfer who is always whining and crying that he is cancelled or soft cancelled or kind of cancelled?
Maybe the most selfish narcissistic thing he has ever done...in the last 40 hours or so.
Yes, it is almost like that because that is exactly what it is like because that is what they are doing, yes.
Yeah, I really have to say Graham Platner is a bag of hurt. And I find that he knows enough to hide his tattoo on a sexting/dating/messaging app, wearing only a towel, to be more evidence he absolutely knew what his tattoo was.
What’s amazing is how they would take the center of their empire and just turn it to garbage, apparently without any kind of testing. Slop in/slop out is a mindset in tech.
@scaachi.bsky.social @slate.com Heads up that this is incorrect, Michaels left in 1980, and didn't come back until 1985. Like the article.
Always say yes to this, it’s like the ‘are you a god?’ question from ghostbusters.
Honestly can't tell—do they want me to be thinking about class war and murdering while I read this? Everyone, but especially the author, seems intergalactically out of touch with this actual universe.
