How does this happen. Like there are a lot DJs that play this long and are *GREAT* Do you forget that this one obscure cut was incredible? Because for me Theo’s records become something I almost edit into my dna. Where did this shit go?

This man said “Pain only hurts,” and I’m pretty sure that the whole way I see the world has changed. Chicago is really not to be played with.

Oh this rules so hard. He is extraordinary and the greatness of the writing was bent by his performance to enlarge his character’s place in the show. Look at God indeed.

I am more than aware of this. It was obvious when the the Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Stash became a Facebook group that inspired multiple people I know to write him onto their ballots when he was no longer a candidate. It was such an obvious troll farm. Gamergate. All of was a windup to disaster.

Counterpoint: yes he did.

He exerted enormous power inside the far right and used it to advocate for real fascism. It’s not a difference of opinion. We aren’t debating soy milk versus oat milk. He would have put me and every queer on the wall if he had a chance and his posse I’m glad he’s dead.

Yeah I feel bad for his kid and people who didn’t choose to be there. It must have been very traumatic.

The Blessed Madonna @theblessedmadonna.bsky.social · Sep 13

Wow! You heard it here.

Yes if the “shitty opinion” is fascism and you’re trying to overthrow democracy I am for it!

Fun fact: we used to call people who shot fascists to save democracy veterans of WW2. My grandfather served honorably in that cause.

The Blessed Madonna @theblessedmadonna.bsky.social · Sep 13

I agree.

The Blessed Madonna @theblessedmadonna.bsky.social · Sep 13

I have this really clear memory of sitting in London, reading Twitter in the middle of Gamergate. And I said right that second: Gamergate is recruitment and bootcamp for internet savvy men who hate women, queers, immigrants etc. and now rhere’s a nerd faction fight and Charlie Kirchhoff is dead.

In my my wildest stress dream I never had the imagination to imagine that 4chan memelord dorks would have any impact on the actual world. Little buddy had perfect aim probably improved by hardcore gaming and he wrote memes on the bullets.

How do we explain this to the boomers?
