@susiedentwords.bsky.social hello! Are there any slightly-more-illustrative idioms for belabouring a point? (I feel as though ‘flogging/beating a dead horse’ means to keep on about something particularly futile, rather than just over-talking about something to a boring/annoying extent)

Everything I read about the Cornell case just… Sickens me. At what point in history will women actually get to be heard, and rape culture ends? Why are none of them in prison already? Deeply fucking sick

Some of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know posted vehemently in outrage when orange powder was thrown on Stonehenge these same people are silent on other, global issues. Israel’s genocide, for instance. My heart crumbles when people care more about *rocks* than other human beings

It is very annoying that this is a potentially life-changing chance for lesser-known artists and many of them will either not feel comfortable trying out, or will receive a *lot* of hate for condoning Sheeran it’s putting someone in a really difficult position and that’s not ok

I see this sort of story every so often and I’m a bit like… Are people *really* that lost with grief, or are they stupid, like, do they really think this ‘deathslop’ is better than say, grief counselling or talking to a friend or family?

Celebrities not smart or brave enough to ‘take sides’, as he puts it, tend to use a false veil of apoliticism so they seem all-accepting, all-understanding, but it’s just cowardice and the fear of being seen as money-grabbing and lacking in ethics
