(I looked at her timeline and it's so full of obnoxious shit that I wonder if it's some weird sock puppet trolling exercise - either way the fact she has 46,000 followers is mindboggling)

is that somebody notable or are we going to document every troll there is now
― goole, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
thanks for posting that, it was really something I needed to see
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:14 (eleven years ago) link
Well, now we need to decide if it's racist or not.
― s.clover, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:15 (eleven years ago) link
Personally, I vote yes.
― s.clover, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:16 (eleven years ago) link
truly there is some amount of debate that can be had about whether that Twitter post is racist or not, it's certainly unclear and deserves some unpacking
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:16 (eleven years ago) link
I think we need to speculate about the intentions of the author. Maybe it was just a made out of ignorance, and we don't have the right context to understand what they were getting at.
― s.clover, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry DJP. Someone RT'd it in disbelief and I was staggered by it because of the number of followers but it was unnecessary. Mods can delete if they want. I sometimes forget that ignoring is an option. My fuck-up.

okay, so there is no "is this racist?" question with this material and it's probably long since discussed on one of the politics threads i avoid, but i hadn't heard of it and i kinda thunk dan would be amazed if he hadn't either so FEAST YOUR EYES on 40 pages of tea party comixhttp://www.ep.tc/tea-party-comix/02.htmlmore info and 'artist statement' here

I had 10,000 followers on my old account and Bieber followed me and RTd me twice. I'm so mad it got hacked.
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Monday, 2 July 2012 23:19 (eleven years ago) link
50,000 followers seems quite low for a former two time jbiebs retweetee
anyway, good feed, worth reading whole lot or just the cobain ones, 10% chance it's some sinister and brilliant auteur

Amazing site. This 1970 Superman comic is fascinating - not "is this racist?", more "is this well-meaning but a tad condescending and indirectly responsible for the 1986 movie Soul Man?"

I love that superman comic so much. I sort of remember we had a long discussion of it on ILX ages ago.
― s.clover, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 11:49 (eleven years ago) link
It's surprisingly well-done, given the premise's potential for disaster.

As if racism weren't bad enough, she also had to escape the clutches of Pat Boone.

the jimmy olsen comics are kind of bizarre too. superman hung out with a bunch of kooks imho.
