Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    No I mean the whole ‘aren’t they weird’ matches that dr who episode. Basically Who gets disappointed with the PM he is traveling with, and tells her ‘I will end your carreer with a few words’ and then whispers ‘doesn’t she look tired’ to one of her aides.

      oh, I thought there was a literal equivalent kamala-phrase to the one at play here

      unless you mean kamala team literally said “aren’t they weird”, in which case a’ight I agree

      (again: fuck horserace content, got too few damn spoons for that. which is in part why I have no idea where the change in tide came from - just happy it’s present)
