  • I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve never gotten the hang of Twitter. But reading between the lines, I think this is the sequence of events:

    Libertarian twit tweets a death threat against Harris.

    Libertarian twit is reminded of the rules (and common decency) and removes the offending tweet.

    Libertarian twit passive aggressively tweets about having removed the tweet they twote, invoking the promises of free speech to imply that Leon was censoring their tweets and trampling on their freedoms.

    Leon responds to the complaint with the tweet the twit twote, simultaneously demonstrating that the twit is a twat and amplifying the message.





  • The delusion is thinking you can change things with a single election. If you don’t like the two party system (and I don’t) then you must get more involved in politics than voting for the president. You would need to elect principled progressives at every level of government, fight against fascism at every opportunity, and diligently protect the progress we have made.

    Voting for a third party candidate is like showing up to a birthday party as they’re lighting the candles and complaining that nobody asked you about the decorations. It doesn’t matter if your objections are valid, you’ve missed the window to do anything about it.



  • But how would it have been different if you were traveling via public transit? Or walking, or biking? You’d still have to go out of your way to get home. I suppose you could have split up, but then even if there wasn’t a bus from the reception to downtown, you could have taken your own uber.

    I completely understand being frustrated by going out of your way. I just don’t know how it’s related to your mode of transport.









  • That’s Laura Loomer on the left. She’s an absurd conspiracy theorist, an unrepentant bigot, and Former President Trump’s current mistress. She has had a fuck ton of plastic surgery, and as a result her skin is all shiny and bloated, like she’s wearing a skeletor mask under her face. She bears an uncanny resemblance to the puppet from Saw.
