when there's a new superman #1 at the comic store this week πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ₯³πŸ€˜πŸΎ Image
new boss Image
mood when i go to the comic shop and there's no new superman that week, not even a jla Image
the dumb feeling i get when a superman comic makes reference to somewhat obscure daily planet operations ("oh that photographer jimmy olsen, such a scamp, don't call him chief, jimbo")
"... so there's jon kent, his son, who also goes by superman. he started out as a kid but then got thrown around in time where an evil kryptonian tortured him as he accelerated in age. he's best friends with damian, who is batman's son, who is just one of many robins and..."
"... now damian is the son of talia, who is the daughter of ra's al ghul who is the leader of the league of assassins and they're a group of super ninjas with a pit that can bring you back to life -- oh, damian died one time -- and..." #comics

yes sometimes you have to do actual work in school and you can't just write some fox news bs
me in high school: no mom, its not that i got an F in geometry, its that lines and planes are "woke" bigotry being pushed on me by the deep state. my teacher is just a tool of the woke mob.
in summer school cause i failed geometry: i am a victim of the deep state! they flunked me out of their cones and planes and 180 degree angles because i refused to bow to the false idols of the geomi-gods.

we need to start an anecdotal panic about the right and dumb centrists.

something like "fox news and jonathan chait columns lowered my sperm count and in some cases led to mutant dragon babies"
i can't believe the media isn't reporting on the growing problem of fox news-chait syndrome. im receiving so many reports of low sperm counts along with dragon babies feasting on the flesh of their mothers from the inside.
elon musk is shadow banning my tweets about fox news-chait syndrome. very powerful forces don't want you to know it makes your p*nis fall off.

the high visibility for the kind of people who see billionaires and superstar athletes and immediately think "i have to jump in front of the bullet for them" is one of the worst things about the internet
99.9999999% of the time "you're too sensitive" is coming from a straight white guy vs a woman/lgbtq person/minority. its an almost perfect track record.
like finally we have the tools to speak up and say "that isn't cool" and these lame-asses whine so hard about it -- the power they have *always* had and still retain almost all of the real power in this world.

holy shit look at these dumb, insecure weirdos.
also, yeah, rihanna is the fucking leader. duh.
flashback to the extremely weird fiction thread i did years ago where rihanna was leading one of the warring post-apocalyptic factions against beyonce, nicki minaj, taylor and britney. (this is a very weird account but those who know, know)

one skill politicians have is enthusiastically meeting groups of people. "happy to meet the folks at the sock knitting collective, great folks." there's also the nodding like youre actually very into it (used to be a tumblr of obama doing this).

i couldnt do it.
"wow really a red box with hinges. and you say when you touch it like that, it does a thing? fascinating."
"yes ive seen one like this before. i mean, not quite this model but i've definitely had my experiences with one, but i dont have to go into detail with you. you know that already as an expert on whatever the fuck this is."

every time i run into the weirdo corner of twitter that tries to say vp harris (or obama) aren't black americans, the waves of stupidity come washing over me.

are they black? yes. are they born in america? yes. then theyre black americans. end scene.
and i know it kind of hits because it hits close to home - both of my parents were jamaican. im very proud of that. but i am black and i was born in america. i am a black american. this seems really simple to me, but some weirdos are obsessed with it not being true.
you dumb dumbs cant take away my "here's why im just like barack obama and kamala harris" card, damn it. lol.
