Thread of assholes

Me neither. But he does seem like an asshole, though.

But Conservatives like Crenshaw will publicly make the demand, posting cringe and embarrassing themselves. Ignoble in victory, they now exhibit the traits they’ve long accused their opponents of having.

The American right has control over the Supreme Court, the presidency, and the legislature. That kind of total political victory isn’t enough. They want you to like them too. They want you to laugh at their jokes, take their memes seriously, and call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

The pinned post on Crenshaw’s X account is a “Conservative Guide to the Culture Wars” from 2021. The second item on the list is the claim that a “victor mentality is better than a victim mentality.”

Over the next four years, I suspect we’ll see a lot more cringe posts from Crenshaw and others as the victors twist themselves into victims when every little thing doesn’t go their way. Or when it doesn’t go their way quite as fast as they’d want.

I’m kinda pissed, though, at the use of ‘deadnaming’ there. Deadnaming is a bad thing. This isn’t deadnaming because the Gulf of Mexico has NOT been renamed the Gulf of America. Trump doesn’t have the authority to do that, and even his EO didn’t rename the entire Gulf, just the portion in American waters. Which is a pretty fucking small percentage of that body of water. It’s kind of similar to how Oklahoma City renamed the portion of the North Canadian River that passes through Oklahoma City to the Oklahoma River. It may have stroked some egos, but it didn’t actually rename the river.

Don’t snow cones usually have the “cone” part pointing down?

Umm… they were milk bottles with a dispenser on top. Like those liquor bottles that limit the pour.

Yeah - that’s the ticket.

Maybe they were snow cones that had been dashed to the ground by screaming children who wanted some flavor other than “putrid”. Those would have the cone part pointing up, right?

Dead snow cones. It’s really all very tragic.

As much as I hate Caitlyn Jenner, I will not deadname or misgender her, and it’s disappointing how gleefully our ‘allies’ are doing so.

Spinelessness from an organization named for a riot in which trans people played a key role. Pathetic.
