But, I think a lot of people are holding her up because she was fired, not knowing her history

I don't think people should've been fired over Kirk jokes

What bothered me was that it was part of a long history of cruel humor. And if she wants to make mean jokes, that's her right. There's a lot of people that do that

Let me start with, I 100% agree with you that we should not consider her disposable. No one is.

And DC knew who they hired, in fact the story is she warned them that she'd bring online fury.

None of what happened was a surprise

I accused her of bi-erasure, not oppression

I think if you are on a work for hire contract where they have a clause that allows them to fire you if you post things on social media that they disagree with, and then they ask you to take it down, and then you don't, and then they fire you that you can't say you didn't see it coming

When did I say I was being oppressed?

SlayBeans (or Stephen) @jaybeans.bsky.social · 3h

She is on this platform, and we talked today.

But the reason that I posted was to other people on this platform who are unaware of her past comments and only know of her current situation

SlayBeans (or Stephen) @jaybeans.bsky.social · 3h

I don't want pitchforks and mobs. But I also would advise against lionizing a person who has been repeatedly aggressive towards others

If she wants to be a shit poster, that's fine. But she seems to want to post shit and not be held accountable

SlayBeans (or Stephen) @jaybeans.bsky.social · 3h

So your response to "hey, maybe we should have less hate" is to pour on hate?

If that's how you want to live, I guess...

SlayBeans (or Stephen) @jaybeans.bsky.social · 3h

Except that she keeps apologizing for those bits after being pushed on them, so she must know they're going to far

If she wants to be a shit poster, that's fine. If she wants to engage with people then she should try not to antagonize them

I’m sure kittens are woke with this administration. The known familiar to all single women everywhere.

Wow, that's a leap!

I care because she said things I disagree with. I have never, and would never, attack her for who she is

Yeah, she made a joke at the expense of bisexuals, endorsing bi-erasure of people who end up in opposite gender relationships

Just because something is a joke doesn't mean it gets a free pass

hey this reminds me. remember how early on DOGE fired the whole team that sets the federal poverty level every year, and it turned out that team had been doing it since the concept was invented and nobody else knew how, and lots of things rely on that number. was there any follow up to that

Turning Point USA announced it will host counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show, called “The All American Halftime Show,” as MAGA critics have been enraged over the selection of Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.

MAGA rage over Bad Bunny at Super Bowl sparks an alternative show

Counterprogramming hosted by the group that Charlie Kirk founded spotlights the growing political polarization surrounding one of the biggest events of the year.

Geordi La Forge Nope/Yes meme, but the yes has laser eyes in the visor:

NOPE:
"Do Not Comply In Advance"
- bossy
- already a cliche
- implies permission to comply later

YES:
"Fuck You, Make Me"
- leads by example
- directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
- easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

I kinda think it's why we haven't actually seen shit in NO yet. We'd just turn it into a party. End up getting shot for throwing beads at the national guard.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Oh my, of course there is a Wikipedia page for this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

List of film director and actor collaborations - Wikipedia

Who's your favorite director/actor combo? You know, the type where a filmmaker finds their muse? Like DeNiro / Scorsese, Raimi / Campbell, Gunn / Rooker, Cooglar / Jordan, Woo / Yun-Fat, Burton / Depp (back in the day), Wright / Pegg, etc?
