Hope Tubman enjoys being a statue instead of getting on the $20.

Tesla is another brilliant suggestion from the comments

QAnoners are reporting that Melania wearing an Alexander McQueen dress tonight is a signal that Time's Up for famous paedos.

Trump must have got inspiration from his last trip to Moscow

Haha, DJTJ's blow-up doll has tested positive for Covid-19.


This is a vile post

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 4 July 2020 08:04 (three years ago) link

was just about to say, please do not call women "blow-up dolls," it's really sexist and fucked up.

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 4 July 2020 11:31 (three years ago) link

The desire to tone police what we call right wing nitwits who are actively trying to kill people is a weird thing to me always but ymmv

there's probs a way to do it without sounding like a sexist

Pinche Cumbion Bien Loco (stevie), Saturday, 4 July 2020 12:01 (three years ago) link

I am absolutely sexist toward DJTJ’s new slam piece, yes.

Its big ball chunky time (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 4 July 2020 12:17 (three years ago) link

stop it

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 July 2020 12:36 (three years ago) link

I mean it's not so much "tone policing" as suggesting maybe don't use the language of misogynists when describing women, even those who seem entirely awful and are dating awful men, but whatevs

Pinche Cumbion Bien Loco (stevie), Saturday, 4 July 2020 12:51 (three years ago) link

additionally, it's about sculpting what kind of space we want ilx to be. "slam piece" and "blow-up doll" are the language of juvenile misogynists. this isn't 4chan and as a group i believe we all want more women to feel comfortable posting and conversing here, not fewer.

Hey remember that Kentucky primary?

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/04/coronavirus-voting-kentucky-primary-348611

Coronavirus has upended elections around the country since the pandemic landed in America, and last month, Kentucky was feared to be the next disaster. National figures from Hillary Clinton to LeBron James warned of impending calamity in the state, focusing on a dramatic decrease in polling places, especially in Louisville.

But after the votes came in, Kentucky earned measured praise from voting rights advocates for how it largely sidestepped the missing ballots, long lines and other problems faced by many states amid coronavirus. The Democratic governor and Republican secretary of state reached bipartisan agreement on a massive expansion of absentee voting, leading to the highest primary turnout in Kentucky since the hard-fought 2008 presidential primary.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:03 (three years ago) link

Hmm wonder why no women post here any more? Could it be the unironic use of honestly pretty fucking extreme misogynist language? No must be something else.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:06 (three years ago) link

What about “Great Value Melania”

saw that today and chuckled

Misogynistic language doesn’t help, but if you think that’s the only reason women don’t post as much...

Notes on Scampo (tokyo rosemary), Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link

I value the women who post here greatly, and I would be highly pissed off if some smartass flexing their locker room slang turned ilx into another internet dude ranch

assert (MatthewK), Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:21 (three years ago) link

No of course. Necessary but not sufficient.

I guess it ain't kayfabe after all

have you ever met, seen, observed, heard about, read about, or know anything about Kimberly Guilfoyle? that term is actually polite where she's concerned.

akm, Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:19 (three years ago) link

also: she was in Rapid city meeting with donors, zero mask, then apparently tested positive for Covid. Anyway I'm particularly irked by this because my mom lives in Rapid, which doesn't have very high numbers, but thanks Kimberly, for coming into town and being a super spreader, my mother starts chemo in a week and still has to live in the city you shed your fucking viral goo all over.

akm, Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:23 (three years ago) link

also, can't someone just take Trump to a Madame Tussaud's and tell him his garden is complete?

akm, Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:25 (three years ago) link

"blow-up doll is a compliment for THIS woman i dislike" is BS in the same way that "blow-up doll" is in the first place

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:27 (three years ago) link

imho

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:28 (three years ago) link

xxpost and then embalm him alive

yeah, it's fairly obvious the target isn't the problem of the comment, but the comment itself.

cos it implies the moment any woman gets on your bad side, you're sitting on these comments ready to dish them out.

I see your point re down ballot effects on beloved ILX posters being here anymore bc of that language! Ty. DJTJ’s new wife is still tragic

Its big ball chunky time (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:30 (three years ago) link

i don't think they ever got married. and now they never will, because they will both die, holding hands, smiling, because they didn't wear masks and look like pussies.

akm, Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:35 (three years ago) link

The bravest way

Its big ball chunky time (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:36 (three years ago) link

I should not have used the awfullest of terms to describe the woman in question. I apologise--particularly to any of our Female posters who were offended--for using the term.

"...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:45 (three years ago) link

I guess I don't understand the presumption that the Conway's daughter thing was kayfabe when it seems much more reasonable that a rebellious rich teenager hates her awful parents

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 4 July 2020 16:44 (three years ago) link

seems pretty clear from her earlier social media posts which they made her delete that she does not agree whatsoever with her mother's political views.

akm, Saturday, 4 July 2020 16:46 (three years ago) link

at one point her mother didn't agree with her own views on Trump

I hear that sometimes Satan wants to defund police (Neanderthal), Saturday, 4 July 2020 16:50 (three years ago) link

really who wouldn't be embarrassed of a mother who wore a "patriotic" dress on Inauguration Day that turned out to be a UK-themed design

I hear that sometimes Satan wants to defund police (Neanderthal), Saturday, 4 July 2020 16:52 (three years ago) link

It's the family drama, not the individual viewpoints, that's manufactured for the sake of clicks.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 4 July 2020 16:57 (three years ago) link

why? this seems like "PHOTOSHOPPED"-level skepticism

yeah there are easier ways to make money when you are these people

Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 4 July 2020 17:03 (three years ago) link

I mean obviously it's possible but kids acting out on Twitter, even famous children of public figures, is hardly a new thing, and they don't always wind up being "pilot for new reality show".

sometimes I feel like this thread = "I found Waldo! yay me!"

Btw, Qanon, Proud Boys, Hawaiian-shirt wearing Boogaloos ... who the fuck are these fringe groups and what's their deal? Where's Weirdo is more like it.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 4 July 2020 17:19 (three years ago) link

This shit is just so weeeeeird:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jul/03/ufc-qanon-mma-far-right-fake-news-conspiracies

Former UFC title challenger and Special Forces Green Beret Tim Kennedy shared an Instagram post of himself wearing a Hawaiian shirt beneath a bulletproof vest while holding a rifle. The Hawaiian shirt alludes to the Boogaloo Boys, a far-right extremist movement that is preparing for a second American civil war which they call the “boogaloo”. Participants often wear Hawaiian shirts along with military fatigues to identify themselves at protests.

White supremacists, lunatics, and white supremacist lunatics.

You all may be right about the Conways, but this is a totally unscrupulous family that likes to play up their political differences for online rubberneckers, so...

is this the first time you're encountering those dumbasses?
