I think what has become more and more clear is that there’s an elite group of rich people and media members that never interact with normal people in normal ways and spend all day messaging each other about how other people are elitists who don’t see what normal people are thinking

I saw a man on a train in a full business suit finishing a foamy Starbucks drink. He slurped the bottom with the straw, then he used the straw to scoop foam bits into his mouth, then he methodically ran his finger around the entire inside of the cup so he could lick the flavor off. It was 3pm.

the Male-Grievance Grift-o Sphere going after popular stuff might seem like a tactical error at first but it's designed to put vulnerable/stupid men into a siege mentality by making it seem like all of pop culture is out to get them. it's an attempt to isolate

my jr high pre-algebra teacher called improper fractions "Dolly Parton fractions" because they "had big ones on top." We can debate the appropriateness of this but i *do* still remember what improper fractions are.
