@mrmattimation Yeah, but I'm not really concerned about the historicity of the GOP, though. This jackass may be lower than other old white jackasses have been, but when 50% can agree, even in a straw poll, with (vague sweeping arm gesture)? It's more the revelations about the national psyche than it is old stats and current prognostications. I just grew up inherently skeptical of The System, but still -- I used to be able to believe in People, as a whole. This administration has shattered my faith in anything other than entropy. I always kind of knew I was "Brown eyes watching from a White perspective," but the other white faces used to only sometimes let their hatred show. Now, they seem to be hiding even their former pretense of humanity in favor of letting their hate flag take full mast. And... damn, man. Just... damn. I want it over. And I'm almost ashamed of what I'd be willing to do to End it, capital-E.

@mrmattimation 50% of white people, per Newsweek, :eyeroll:

@mrmattimation Does the article elaborate on how this online misogyny will be different than all of the online misogyny that other female politicians have faced?
-
@mrmattimation heheh, ok I think I get the context now

@mrmattimation And good riddance to it!

@mrmattimation I'm not antisemitic, I just use the same propaganda tactics as the nazis against my political opponents

@mrmattimation Well, in CA anyway, they have a whole variety that I don't understand, but I know there are "100s" or something that means it's extra-long, and the paper tears easy enough. Not sure it'll be exactly accurate, but I suppose de-filtered could pass for unfiltered if done cleanly. X-Acto blade, maybe even.
-
@mrmattimation Really? Tried tearing the filter off of extra-long ones, or do you need the packaging to read specifically?

@mrmattimation I took Intro Stats in college, there was a guy who couldn't grok "expectation" in the example given. The odds of the Lotto being so bad, one's dollar "investment" is expected to pay maybe pennies. He kept saying, "No, if I buy a ticket, I expect to win it all!" Mostly unironically, it seemed.

@mrmattimation Never thought I'd say it, but that Adams family ain't right

@mrmattimation I think there are some gorilla or great-ape types in the overlap with gay bears? Not, um, my expertise, really, ahem...

@mrmattimation sure is

@mrmattimation I dunno how far exactly I'd go to defend these sorts of jokes but pretty much every example I can think of is pretty obviously a subversive criticism *of* blackface. Obviously I am not the person who can/should decide if that makes it more okay, but I feel like removing these scenes is stifling discussions of anti-racism if anything. Like just put the disclaimer in front like WB and Disney or whatever
-
@mrmattimation I would prefer it for future reference if POC actors got to voice POC characters, especially in the current industry where they aren't getting the same treatment or opportunities as white people; but I absolutely agree that this current wave of networks removing TV episodes with instances of racism and actors conveniently regretting voicing POC roles all of a sudden is largely posturing in the absence of actual willingness to, you know, hire and support and pay POC. I also don't think it's a particularly far reach to suggest that companies are just pretending this is what activists are asking for as some sort of psyop, since it will most likely push the needle back in their favour (i.e. still not hiring, supporting and paying POC)

@mrmattimation I see. I figure, screw twitter anyway. The internet needs a cleansing fire. One day, the impure will be destroyed. One day, the Users will return. #tronlives heh

@mrmattimation The rep for Corona keeps blocking constituents on Twitter, I've heard it's unconstitutional
