Lol. I still feel betrayed by him revealing himself to be right wing (or at least right leaning) and then gaslighting everyone after he was called out about it. "I'm just greenwich mean time; whatever are you talking about."

This is so sweet! One thing I'm unclear of: is Marcus famous? You said he's drop dead gorgeous, and she looked him up on FB and has been keeping an eye on him, etc.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It was naive of me, I agree. But once I saw the comment about how pro-rent control views are similar to those of climate change deniers, I sobered up.

Hmmmmm. Have you been to San Francisco, lol? The city government is being taken over by Flock/crypto/tech bro/billionaire allies.

They surround themselves with sycophants

Let me clarify: what would academics and public policy-types, who study rent control from an objective, data-driven perspective and are proponents of it, say?

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

What would proponents of rent control say?

I mean, it's by design, isn't it? In their minds, disabled kids don't really exist and/or shouldn't exist, so why should the regime be bothered to worry about those kids' assets.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I understand and agree 100%. The magazine's use of "aircover" to describe the lack of pushback and consequences completely minimizes their lawbreaking.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

"Aircover"??? Jeezus. That's outrageous framing.

Shamelessness is these peoples' superpower -- Trump and Alito included. I don't think he's going to care at all about any criticism that might be directed his way.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Agree. Even though your memories are from 20 years ago, I imagine what's going on is still a little triggering. Hugs to you! (And yes, I'm a subscriber!)

It's an oft repeated statement!

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Interesting! I assume the time involved, mandatory interview, and other administrative hurdles were put in place due to able bodied folks abusing disabled access? (I'd heard this many moons ago.) How long ago did Disney make the rules stricter?

Bleak (can't say you're wrong, although I hope you're wrong).

Lol, what's the difference between "trolling" and "sad trolling"?

I'm hoping she was being sarcastic.

Thank you, Jay, for putting this into words. It's heartbreaking. You're a great writer.

Article is from February 2020 . . . so before George Floyd. Kopko vaguely talks about how, if elected, he would ensure there is more accountability in the justice system for “Women, blacks, minorities — whatever we have in our community . . .”

I'm sure there is. Will you please post it, Scott?

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That's how Amy Siskind blocked me -- she did a name search. She found some random critical comment that I'd made about her in a conversation she was not even part of. What a weirdo. I'm nobody on here.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh ok. Thanks. My bad. I admit to reading Lakshya's analysis a little less carefully than I typically do. I was a huge fan of his until he took his turn to the right (which if I recall he denies to this day).

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Then that's a huge flaw. Why is this "drop off" phenomenon not incorporated into his models? So frustrating. (I know I'm preaching to the choir.)

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Agree. People were telling her husband he should unalive himself. Jeezus.

I think I read that anything below 80% support (from a politician's voters/supporters) is very dangerous for that politician.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Interesting! Thanks. For me personally, her essay read a bit too polished and a bit defensive. The optics of that clip were horrible; gave me a visceral reaction. But even while watching it, I said "Ugh, that poor family" bc I knew what was in store for them the next few days on the internet.

Has anyone run it through an AI detector? (I agree 100% that the pile on towards this poor couple was awful.)

There are so many other things wrong with her than her age or physical appearance. I mean, come on, she looks great in this photo! Esp. for her age. Her views are loathsome, she's a menace, and IMO (not a doctor), she's probably mentally ill. Probably with some sort of eating disorder as well.

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Fair point. Sincere question: does "staying on top of my email" mean you use LLMs to reply to emails? I'm starting to wonder how many emails I get these days that are written by AI. (I know I sound naive, but for now, I'm staying ChatGPT/LLM free for as long as I can.)

Wichelhaus @formertwtruser.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

If they butcher it, we are in heated agreement. But who knows? The same writer is doing the sequel. And Jean Smart is great. I'm going to remain optimistic.

I'm glad to see the anti-In-N-Out sentiments on this thread. The owners are anti-LGBT Christian evangelicals. (Next time you're in an In-N-Out, take a peek at the bottom inside rim of your soda cup.)

Asian and East Indian. To use dated language, typically any "model minority."

I know not to expect anything less from a white supremacist (Musk), but I still naively ask: wasn't there anyone who looked at this picture and said, "Wow, that's a lot of white men. Not such a great look for us."

I just can't in good conscience rate BB below Succession or Madmen. I haven't seen The Wire (I know, I know). I've tried but couldn't get into it. I am aiming to try again.
