I came back only to state one fundamental here on Election Day. I'll depart again for bluer skies upon stating a second: X IS THE ECHO CHAMBER, YOU FUCKING TROGLODYTES. It's trashed with bots, trolls and ideologues. Over in the neighboring county? Discussion, argument and rhetoric more reflect the actual American spirit. Tuesday proved it definitively. Now rave on, you fucking rubes. But not to me. Peace, out.

Defending Russell Brand is a VERY strange way of a large number of men on X admitting they don’t understand consent.

Ended up in a hotel room with this guy once and abruptly left within minutes because he had the darkest energy I’d ever encountered in my life. Just an enthusiastically loud, absolutely soulless man. I wouldn’t be surprised to see dozens more victims come forward.

Genuinely think this looks terrible. 20%! Taking their salaries to over 93k? Meanwhile everyone else faces stagnant wages against increasing inflation and now increasing interest rates. I'm sure they work hard. But many people do and are struggling Indefensible imo
