the definition of "gamers" has never exactly been the same as "people who enjoy video games" but its semantic drift and narrowing seem to be accelerating somehow

makes me think of what happened to Tyra Hunter here in DC in the 1990s. a Black trans woman who was in a car crash on her way to her hairstyling job and the medical people assumed she was a drug-addicted sex worker and did the wrong interventions

college students with blue hair and nose rings was barely any less common 30 years ago when this guy was starting out in music than it is now. complaining about that in 2025 is even more outdated than people who were still saying "rap music isn't music" back then in the 1990s

remember when this happened and he ranted about all the crime he could supposedly see on the flew blocks' drive from 395 to the DC federal courthouse? sure, he might have just been making things up, but I think my motorcade-route-blocking cop cars theory holds up here too www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

somehow this is making me think of Jeff Bezos's immortal come-on line "I love you, alive girl"

you know how Trump's motorcade routes are blocked off by cop cars with their lights going at every corner? I truly believe he sees that and interprets it to mean the city is full of cops everywhere because of so much crime

one of the ways you can spot a transphobe is when they talk like transitioning is something done *to* the trans person, like he did there, rather than something done *by* the trans person

every day there seems to be a new article about some ICE action where I wonder where the fuck they are recruiting these people from

what's interesting about this one is that it basically admits at the end that it's more about nostalgia for childhood lack of responsibility and that it's not meant for those of us who already had bills to stress about in 2012
