@SlaggitySlag @mSuKsBe So funny you say that. I just came across her in my feed and banal barely begins to describe her posts. I mean, was it worth taxing her thumbs for THAT?? Every time I look on this site, it’s like we’re at peak nadir. (But always getting dumber.)
@froomkin Been saying this for weeks. She'll crush him but the safer narrative of the (utterly annoying) media will have her bruised and bloodied from their death by 1000 cuts gauntlet of idiocy. (I haven't hated the media this much since.... ever.)
@NGrossman81@nytopinion is an utter failure. Long live @DougJBalloon — the nonsense of the @nytimes in a pithy, absurd, and free(!) précis of the clickbait they deem fit to print.
@jonathanchait@BillAckman I get the feeling that many once-hopeful remoras will be detaching their sucker-grip from the wheezing wreck that is the trump campaign.
@MarkAschParody@SamuelAAdams Saw it as a grad student in Charlottesville when it came out. Was so charmed, dazzled, and sort of awakened by it. I think of it often. A kind of milestone moment for me. A gem.
@moridieth @JoelWBerry Yeah, he's a "political" christian, not one of the "good" christians. Anyone who shills for Trump is way lost to decency; i.e., his discernment skills have vaporized.
@DanielT_Roberts@JenLouiseWilson Please, no! That book took my breath away and not in a good way. Romantic Moscow? I loved the “Hah! We will punish you with gigantic barren room in luxury hotel!” when we know the bolshies would have only put a bullet in him. Too much nonsense for me.
@dick_nixon I'm with you on being done with U.S. obsession with credentialism. My life (64 yrs) & this century's opening decades have given us countless examples of frictionless lives unjustly rewarded with social lubricant (the IVIES! -- swoon) w/which they slither through life.
@PhilipJGermain Then Vance it will be, a soulless husk of a semi-humanoid bereft of morality who is as golem-like as DJT. Poor Rubio thought being spineless was enough. J.D. is 100% jelly inside and a perfectly willing patsy for Trump's pathologies.
@commons96055467 Haven’t turned on any tv news prog since day of debate. Much better life. And good god, watching Andrea Mitchell was like having the glitchiest modem buffering buffering freeze Is it on? Is it on? I don’t miss any of them.
@StevenIsserlis Both equally meaningless, I think. I once placed an order for two cupcakes; the girl repeated the order and said, "Awesome." I was perplexed. Was she ironic? Sardonic? Mocking? Merely automaton-ic. Maybe all that praise in their upbringing has raised the bar for expressing, "Ok."
