I accused a redditor who made a post about how “Joe Biden isn’t too old/they would vote for a ham sandwich over Trump/people calling Biden old are Russia bots” of just being too racist to vote for a black woman. They proceeded to write like a ~1000 word response detailing how they run a “voter education” non-profit that is affiliated with/funded by the Democratic party and all the work they have specifically done helping to get women of color elected. They promptly deleted that response after I told them to just say they were astroturfing next time.
Wow. I never got a reply that fantastic. The best I ever got was a redditor who said something like “I work on The Hill and I don’t know any congresspeople who act like you are implying.” I tried to get them to keep talking but they effectively stopped with that comment.
Does this guy not know there can be more than one author in the world at one time?
Stephen King should’ve never been allowed to write in the first place.
The psyop around getting a bunch of popular liberal celebrities to “stand with Ukraine” was one of the state department’s best bits of work in the last decade. People would’ve soured on the war a lot sooner if they didn’t have Mark Hamill and the guy who wrote a story about angry meatballs supporting it.
“Hey Lois, remember that time the Simpsons openly supported a fascist country? Maybe we aren’t the worst show on Sunday nights on Fox”
“We aren’t on Sundays anymore?”
That is lowkey kind of amazing. It is so lazy, I’d be surprised if it took him longer than half an hour, which is a tiny amount for 5 characters. They also look like they’re there under duress. I think this sums up the liberal celebrity “support” really well. They take half an hour out of their day to do some half-assed “support” because they want to jerk themselves off over feeling like they’re the good guys.
The mistake can be rectified any time. Take away his typewriter, or whatever the fuck old assholes like him prefer to write on
I’ve tried to write on those things and they’re such a hassle. The loud ass “ding” throws me off every time I’m deeply concentrating. The electric ones are much better.
I’ve never actually written on one. I have played with one in a museum as a kid, but just enough to see how they work mechanically. No paper or ink involved
They do seem like they’d be satisfying to use, maybe enough to get used to the noises and accept them as part of the process. The part that I’d find annoying is correcting mistakes. Nobody’s a perfect typist no matter how much practice they get and maybe if my alternative were hand writing I wouldn’t find it so bad but when I have computers at my disposal idk if I could put up with like a 3 step process to correct a typo
Being a writer and being the President is the same thing
As a Stephen King book hater I agree with the second tweet unironically
