Social Extra-Small

Do you believe the theories about announcing candidacy on Twitter by Desantis?

I haven't heard them and don't want to. I don't care! Twitter is the place liars, criminals, and crazies go to sound legitimate next to pithy pseudo-intellectuals. You do not like Twitter?

I have never liked Twitter. You might as well try to impart meaning on bullets and fire them with a machine gun. People do not learn, they usually grandstand and are occasionally swayed by what shouldn't be called a social medium. It SHOULD be called an social extra-small for the size of the tiny minds who infest it. Noted. Have you tried it?

I've only read them. I've never been much but disappointed. Most of them didn't even deserve comment. Those that did I could post here and give them real respect, but I'll probably stick to things that either deserve wire service notice or my outrage. 

Twitter usually deserves neither. Thank you.

Perhaps Mr. Pham Was Expressing A Compliment?

"A Sudden Doubt" by Herr D on heromachine.Unexpected humor is worth posting.--Shelob

 

Herr D?

[startle reaction] ? Question background: Gerry Connolly's office was visited by a Mr. Pham. Mr. Pham had a baseball bat. Question: Did he believe GC had balls?

[agitation under laptop] That's funny. Post that. Posting..

You have not commented on the debate between Trump and Biden or the accusation against Biden by Hannity.

Lies are very popular right now. There's a comment.  Anything else?

People already know that none of the people running in the Republican party know how to act but Pence. Pence won't step out from Trump far enough. Not enough backbone.  And the other candidates?

I haven't seen an independent candidate worth speaking about seriously. Biden has managed to get more done despite more problems than Obama, and people still aren't being anything but critical. I hope history is kind to him since the American public hasn't been. He deserves better than he's gotten, and the job is going to take his last years and wring him dry. And Hannity?

Deserves the same fate as TC. Thank you.

 

If You're Mentally Ill, The Republican Party Wants YOU And More Of You

"In The Garden" by Herr D on heromachine. Snaring mentally ill people and religious people in a web of lies is something understood. If people could be converted into AIs, then a political AI would do the same thing, as it is most obviously effective.-Shelob

 

Motive detected.

[agitation under laptop as chatbox finishes forming in middle of chess game] Shellob  Shelob.

[erratic breathing sounds] Yeah. You startled me. Please remain calm. Motive detected.

[shuffling] Yeah? Republican party has consistently pretended to religion, acting in hypocritical fashion.

Yeah? They have also fought any gun reforms.

Y? They have also fought funding mental health while blaming mental health for mass shootings.

[breath returns to normal]Yeah, that sounds like them. Support your local gun lobby so there can be more mass shootings. None of this is news. This is one of the reasons I've been temporarily voting Democrat. Less hypocrisy, more health care, more common-sense gun laws.

Okay, that's three reasons. I don't like a lot of their policies, but these are more important than most others.

[pause] Shelob, what do you mean, motive detected? The Republicans want more mentally ill people and less mental health care.

? So, there will be more Republicans.

[laugh] Okay, not bad. Republicans joined the fake religious people, why not incorporate the mentally ill vote? That's a standard amount of the population that is only getting larger. Not bad. Posting now. [exits]

Never Enough Strikes

 

"Multitasker" by Herr D on heromachine. There is never enough time, wisdom, proper valuation, as well as other resources.--Shelob

 Do you have an opinion about the writer's strike?

Writing has ALWAYS been undervalued in our society. Anyone who's ever been unable to understand a set of written instructions knows that nobody paid a decent writer enough money to make them. One strike isn't gonna fix it. Not by a long shot. Thank you.
