-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

well luckily all 26 of those CEOs voted for her and overcame the 15 million voters that were alienated.

CW transphobiaBut she failed to respond to the ubiquitous ads the Trump campaign ran claiming that Harris supports sex-change operations for prisoners. She allowed Trump to create the impression that she favored the most radical version of transgender rights.

Biden, allies say, never would have let such attacks stand. He would have clearly rejected the idea of trans women competing in women’s sports.

Drink a bottle of bleach, Franklin.

Damn, those 107 CEOs sure were worth it

Embedded in their autopsies was their own unstated faith that they could have done better.

Language changes - I know that - but I still hate the word "autopsy" for this. The word "post mortem" already existed for this purpose.

Members of Biden's clan continue to stoke the delusion that its paterfamilias would have won the election, and some of his advisers feared that he might publicly voice that deeply misguided view.

The debate showed that Biden was a wrecked old man who reeked of loser stink. Do they really not understand that? Biden would have lost California.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Biden would have lost California.

That's fine, he can't find it on a map anyway

post mortem

I mean if we're being prescriptivist about it, "autopsy" is preferable because it's a noun while postmortem is an adjective, the terms "autopsy" and "postmortem examination" being synonyms.

grossAnd I do kind of like the ring of "autopsy" because it evokes a sense of pulling all the organs out and sticking them in jar full of formaldehyde for display and to poke at in the future, because if 2016 is any indication the examination is going to last a good long while. Maybe we should start calling it a "mummification."

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Autopsy wasn't used that way until the GOP started to use it (in the 2010s?) I assume they thought "postmortem" sounded too nerdy and democratic. Also postmortem can be used all by itself as in "The postmortem indicated that..."

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

True, it's just funny that autopsy is the more technically correct term.

please do a CW for transphobia in the article

also, spoiler for transphobia

She allowed Trump to create the impression that she favored the most radical version of transgender rights.

Biden, allies say, never would have let such attacks stand. He would have clearly rejected the idea of trans women competing in women’s sports. Of course, he never staked out that position in his presidency. But it’s true that Harris avoided the issue, rather than rebutting it, despite the millions of dollars poured into those attack ads. And in the end, those ads very likely implanted the notion that Harris wasn’t the cultural centrist she appeared to be.

everyone knows you must dignify every one of your opponent's attacks with a response, which is the moral of the famous LBJ pigfucker story

thank you comrade! trans-hammer-sickle

[–] LaBellaLotta@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is truly breathtaking to see all of these vile scratched liberals rushing to throw trans people under the bus as if Kamal Harris had word fucking one to say about defending trans humanity. Deeply, deeply unserious.

[–] urmums401k@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She had several words to say about it. I met a few of her victims. So much fucking removed.

Er, that word gets censored, but its what happens when you put trans people in the wrong gendered prison.

[–] edge@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Stop? When did she start?
