Fuck the Trump Party

Black Lives Matter.
Brown Lives Matter.
Trans Lives Matter.
Birthing Lives Matter.
Gun control Now.
Bi people exist.
Pan people exist.
Ace people exist.
Age is not an excuse for hate.
Ignorance is not an excuse for hate.
Do better.

TV/film trope: the beta bully.

That kid, usually wimpy but vicious, that acts as the school bully's assistant/yes-man/cheerleader. When the bully is harassing someone, the beta stands behind the bully and backs up what he says. Often heaps praise and adulation on the bully. Sneaky troublemaker.

He doesn't care how utterly silly, ridiculous, or obvious his lies are, nor how many times he repeats them (this particular one has been making the rounds for a while), he knows his core base will lap it up and fawn for more.

In Greensburg, peaceful protesters spilled onto sidewalks for blocks near the courthouse. Organizers expected about 800 people; by noon the crowd had swelled to at least 2,000. Greensburg police said at its peak up to 3,000 people filled North Main and Otterman streets.

Oh, blocking definitely, just that people may want to not engage before doing so.

Oh yeah. Forgot those rodents were still scurrying around.

As I'm seeing more of these accounts, I'm thinking they are being run by interns. Very young interns. The manner of speech is either someone under 21 try to come across as "official" or its very "how do you do, fellow kids".

It sounds a bit like paranoia-driven conspiracy ravings, but looking at many of these accounts, I'm wondering if many of them are set up for data mining "anti-american" accounts. If you comment anything against the Heritage regime, your name goes on a list.

Let me see if I got this.
People, who, as a class, are well known for ignoring safety protocols, cutting costs on materials, and understaffing, are going to build a vertical statue on an island in a part of the world famous for earthquakes.
Should be fiiiine. 👍

No apologies needed. The negative connotation is the most common usage.

A person can also "lose their mind" due to something positive.
Over-excitement.
Ie: "The fans seemed to lose their minds as the band stepped out on stage."

Maybe NOT using a homophobic slur to make your point would be better.

Just to be clear, this wasn't a Rolling Stone decision, it was a Penske (owner of RS) decision.

Ogre-faced spiders. They look mean, but mostly it's just the sunglasses.
And yes, they will call you "dude" and "bro".
