Y'all need to stop.
There was a campaign stunt done for(not by) the Harris campaign, saying that women could hide their votes.
Then a bunch of articles picked it up.
Then it started trending.
The term wasn't trending before the articles. This isn't real demand. Y'all are making all kinds of excuses for the fact that there are more Melanias and MTGs and Stefaniks than you want to admit.
There are exactly as many MAGA women as Black folk tell you
@mekkaokereke @DoesntExist@mastodon.social @jcrabapple @Tarah @corycarson fwiw, If its the same video I saw, that video was not endorsed by the Harris / Walz campaign.
@konnorrogers he didn't say it was. my days, you people.
@thegarbagebird @mekkaokereke @DoesntExist@mastodon.social @jcrabapple @Tarah @corycarson
He quite literally said:
> There was a campaign stunt done by the Harris campaign, saying that women could hide their votes.
How else does one interpret that?
@konnorrogers @thegarbagebird @DoesntExist @jcrabapple @Tarah @corycarson
Konnor: fair point!
I wasn't talking about the ad. I was talking about the stickers, which preceded the ad. But the stickers weren't the Harris campaign either. Someone reached out to clarify, and they officially denied involvement. So I edited the above post to say "for (not by) the Harris campaign."
@mekkaokereke @thegarbagebird @DoesntExist@mastodon.social @jcrabapple @Tarah @corycarson
Thank you! also your point is still 100% correct.
My mom is one of them.
The worst are the ones who try to play it off like "oh I don't know who I'm voting for, I'm undecided, they're both bad, etc, etc"
Like if you're gonna do it, just own it.
She also didnt vote for Obama because "The world isn't ready for a black man as president" and didnt vote for Hillary because "the world isnt ready for a woman as president"
@konnorrogers that's the fun thing about interpretation. you can do it how you like. you for example interpreted the word ‘campaign’ as saying that the julia roberts ad was an official, endorsed harris advertisement despite none of those words being there.
i interpreted the word
‘campaign’ as a concerted effort by one or more groups pursued to accomplish a purpose.
how cool is being able to project whatever meaning you like onto things? such a wonderful part of the human experience.
i like your suspenders and the spinning bow tie.
the big red nose? very fetching.
@thegarbagebird @konnorrogers sorry, the only one who looks like a clown here is you with that lame attempt at an insult.
@justinfagnani hello justin, are you having a nice day?
@justinfagnani
the worst part about apple air tags is not their potential to enable stalking and other harm, it's not the further normalisation of surveillance culture, it's not that they're just more e-waste, it's not even that a device designed to help keep track of things is so very easily lost.
no.
the worst part is that they look delicious.
you've thought the same thing, don't lie
@justinfagnani
forbidden mint, justin. forbidden mint.
hey why are all you fosstodon people like that?
@konnorrogers
i was very rude. i apologise for two things:
for my rudeness, which was quite uncalled for. i saw the greentext arrow bracket and then my eyes rolled back in my head and when i woke up i had made a perfectly cogent point, with a Truly Terrible bad attitude. i assumed bad faith where there was none.
the second thing, is that if i’d known you and @justinfagnani were doing a double act, i would have splashed out on an ice cream.
you get a percentage of the profit on concession sales, right?
i respect the craft, you and k-rog are truly masterful tumblers, it's a shame everyone only thinks of cirque du solwhatever.
l @justinfagnani the rhythm section from their touring band showed up at work once. open mic night was as open as it gets.
they destroyed. like, fuck-off good
incredible, a spontaneous display of musicianship.
you and @konnorrogers have exactly the same magic.
@justinfagnani @konnorrogers also, here’s my tight five on the broader issue of subjectivity; you put ruby on rails!? because you have
hate women etc
uhhh fossbro is a slur.
wait, hang on.
...
...
ok, bad news. turns out trying to write a set based on linus torvald and richard smallman is hard. they've both just been deliberate cunts, to varying degrees of harm.
anyway, i was right, but more importantly fucko shouldn’t have used greentext format.
@justinfagnani @konnorrogers i hate how much i enjoy linus’ recalcitrant old man patter.
i hate how much i want to nuke rms from orbit
@justinfagnani @konnorrogers wait, wastemen. what were we telling on the road?
