Reply to comment by Moonside in waow. Taylor Swift is maybe going to be a paragraph in an AP US History text book in 20 years by twovests

She endorsed Harris after Trump had a really bad debate.

I think the 2024 debate will be recent enough in 2044 to warrant a subchapter, and the "Biden had the worst debate performance of all time > Trump took the crown by doing worse > Taylor Swift endorses Harris" would be a chapter itself if the next step is "Harris wins"

Reply to comment by oolong in From Aaron Bushnell To "I'm Speaking" In Five Months by neku

yeah she basically sucks:

  • uyghur genocide denier
  • 9/11 conspiracy theorist
  • russia sympathizer
  • 1/6 conspiracy theorist
  • takes bitcoin donations

She's posting on Substack and she's Twitter Blue, so it's not surprising.

I think having a lot of "the worst person you know just made a good point" moments just comes with the territory of being anti-genocide

Reply to My least favorite thing is some centrist pundit who styles themselves a bit of a progressive saying "so-called leftists are doing xyz." by flabberghaster

"Self-declared leftists are supporting maduro, Putin, and Assad. Whoever they think they're on the side of, it's not workers." Who even thinks this one? Yet I could dig up a blue sky post from a fairly mainstream person saying it. This one in particular bugged me with the equating of the three of them. But what leftist is supporting Putin?

Plenty of people like, don't want a war with Russia and think arming Ukraine is dangerous, and you can critique that if you want, but there's no "leftists" supporting Putin.

Reply to comment by neku in its been like a week and nobody even cares that trump got his ear shot off lol. the future is so cool by neku

Oops, I dropped a "plausibly" there; "but now plausibly seems to be literally the case".

"The assassination was a false flag" was always far-fetched, but still plausible, y'know? Trump tried to stay up for the photo-op right after the bullets hit. Is that because it was planned? He's a pretty renown liar.

"The Secret Service is incompetent" is the most likely explanation, because armed security is all theatre. But this is the same Secret Service which erased all their text messages from January 5th and January 6th 2021. I don't think _that's a coincidence, and I don't trust them either.

And now we see his ear and the claimed "2 cm hole" is nowhere to be found. His ear is just fine. Trump won't release medical paperwork. What gives?

Of all the conspiracy theories out there, this is the most plausible one. But "plausible" is a super generous term for something unlikely. I'd still place 99-to-1 odds that

  • The Secret Service was too racist and incompetent to identify the threat,

  • Trump was barely grazed by bullets from a real assassination attempt,

  • He was too stupid and photoshoot-horny to keep his head down when bullets were flying, and

  • Lied about the damage to garner support and foment anger.

... But there's still that 1% chance that new evidence will come out in a year or two, and we'll feel kind of dumb, and conspiracy theorists will rejoice about being right for once for the rest of our lives.
