“Eat shit and die” isn’t really the message that needs to be sent right now.

Look, I’m trying to echo the line advocated by the Trans Resistance Network. “The second and more complex tragedy” is right there, although I guess not many read through that wall of text.

Trump as a philosopher.

People would literally dox their name and address in these massive yellow pages.

White pages. The yellow pages were for business listings. It’s how you’d find a plumber, or a furniture store. Blue pages (a thin strip in the middle of the phone book) were government listings.

And it wasn’t “doxing yourself”. Everyone was there. It was a proud sign of adulthood when you got your own listing in the phone book.

If someone had moved to a new city, all you had to do was go there and look them up in that city’s phone book. Presto, reconnected with your lost friend.

Any shooting with 4 or more victims. It’s being used as a cudgel by the right now, because these big ones that make the news are always white men, but the smaller ones never get reported beyond short local coverage.

Even if it’s ethno-nationalist? By the majority population that overwhelmingly dominates the minorities? I think there’s room to be a bit judgy there.

It was lame when e e cummings did it, it’s so old and busted now. Such a pretentious affectation.
