Gosh, it's right on the tip of my tongue. Someone's gonna give me, and I'm gonna slap myself.

Was there even a plot to begin with?

Other underprivileged groups wanting to be recognized isn't QUITE the same as a bunch of white folks co-opting Black people's message, but I get that the "vibes" feel similar.

Ah, you mean from a period BEFORE "white" was a social construct? Sure, "man is wolf unto man" and all that, but that's not the issue at the moment.

Hey, I can see all y'all out there, thinking, "You know what would be cool? To pull a muscle in my NECK." I'm here to tell you, it's not cool. Don't do it.

This is the result of decades of being told your shit don't stink, and in fact actively rejecting anyone who might tell you differently.

Then you'd LOVE my next story, about a heroic stranger who mastered the art of dance, and leads the townsfolk in a thrilling dance-off fundraiser to save their community center from a greedy developer who wants to turn it into a stadium for a new pro football team!

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

No whitespace

This is a completely fair take. Even when we don't actively try to, just passively accepting the privilege is complicity. That, in and of itself isn't the sin. The sin is refusing to extend that privilege to others and perpetuating the systems of oppression.

The story of an ex-girlfriend of mine introducing me to a remedy for dry skin reads like a Bill Burr sketch.

If the point you want to make is that black people (or any group of people) can be assholes too, good job? Congratulations, point conceded. But right here, right now? The assholes leveraging power are almost exclusively "white" people.

Sure, and if Wakanda was real, then there some real questions they'd have to answer. But it's not real, so why not focus on the problem currently existing, rather than fuss about hypotheticals to deflect from that reality?

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

At the end of the day, the origins of this "rule of etiquette" most likely stems from some dickhead with a lot of money who just didn't like the sound of someone drinking, and insisted people cater to his whims, and the rationalization for it followed later.

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

Which I suppose is a good question... but that's something that would (hopefully) be revealed in the actual interview process, not because someone might have a dry throat and need something to wet the vocal chords.

110

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

And if you aren't prepared for an interview that you know is coming, how can you be ready for the inevitable unexpected developments in your job tasks?

110

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

There is a line of thought, and I suppose it's not a completely meritless one, is that bringing something like a coffee to an interview signals to an interviewer that you are someone who is not prepared and doesn't delegate their time well.

110

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

Because I like interjecting into stupid topics... iced coffee (or any beverage) at an interview. A thread.

120

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

This and I think we're seeing the realization that a lot of rules of etiquette are just the hangups of people with power and privilege who insist the world cater to their peculiarities.

This is what we get when we demand our politics entertain us. We want reality TV in Washington D.C.? We can't be astonished when get reality TV characters.

031

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 25/09/2026

I'd argue it's actually a consequence of our electorate's demand to be entertained by our politics.

It's kinda funny how Trump is railing on Canada about immigration there when Canada (like most of the developed world) is positively elated that the United States is taking attention away from their draconian and heartless immigration policies.

120

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 23/09/2026

Immigration and migrants are the easiest way for reactionaries to worm their way into power, because pretty much EVERYONE has a fear of outsiders damn near genetically coded into them.

Woulda been nice if all those Independents saw that in 2024. It's not like he suddenly changed.

The Senate Democrats decide who the Senate Leader is. House Democrats decide who their Speaker is. Ken Martin is a member of neither.

000

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 23/09/2026

Which Ken Martin has nothing to do with.

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 22/09/2026

Because as far as I can tell, it's a whole lot of nothing. It's not Denmark's job to be the spirited resistance. If they can dupe Trump into thinking the agreement in place is something new, then more power to them.

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 21/09/2026

It's a pretty classic problem of how do you reach someone who doesn't know how anything works, and doesn't WANT to know how anything works.

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 20/09/2026

A huge part of the problem is there are no small number of Zionists and antismeites who REALLY want those to terms to be synonyms for their own self-serving reasons. Mr. Marshall is neither, but it's easy to drag him into those fights by virtue of his online presence.

What are you talking about man? It's Sunday. Don't you gotta be back to work tomorrow?

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 18/09/2026

You mean... like the agreement that is already in place since the 1950's?

To be fair, Christopher Walken is probably the closest nature has come to the "Ultimate Man," so this tracks...

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 18/09/2026

Thing is, on its face, sure. National security CAN be "more important" than any given American's pocketbook. Sure! But Iran was not and is not any impending national security risk, no matter what Trump and his pimps want to say.

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 17/09/2026

Then she likely won't make it out of the primary, and solve your worries for you.

100

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 17/09/2026

And I disagree with your assessment. There's not NEARLY enough of such people in SC to carry any socialist across the line.

000

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 17/09/2026

People in SC aren't going to be fired up for ANYBODY left of center, but maybe enough people sick of Trump will be willing to take a "safe moderate." I don't know. Neither do you.

100

Thomas Knapp (chemiclord) @tkocreations.com · 17/09/2026

Nobody in SC is voting for a "socialist" either. It's a simply toxic label. Anything is going to be a longshot, and I'm tired of trying to criticize people for not choosing my preferred losing option.

If she wants to run, let her run, and let the primary voters sort it out. I'm not scared of names. If the people select her, then so be it.

Oh, there's no disagreement on THAT.

The problem with Musk's claims about the election are that the elections aren't done in the way he claims to begin with. There isn't any place to flood the election data with the power of the algorithm (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean in that context). He's talking out of his ass.
