You know, I wish we could go back to old fashioned racism where Scots and Welsh were considered among the "swarthy" races and we could trip these idiots up by explaining that "actually, he was born in Cardiff, so no one is white in this!"

I have "Research Flat Earth" as my banner and I thought everyone could take a brief look at anything I tweet, retweet or comment on and tell it was a joke, but not if I disagree with anyone on twitter.

Assuming by "mixed race" they mean a couple where one spouse is white and the other spouse isn't I completely agree. Get rid of all the white people on television. We got 10 seasons of Friends, 11 of Frasier, that's really enough.

And also not to defend him, but he supposedly did say during the show that it was his last year hosting (I read that in one of the replies, so not sure if it's accurate or not).

I do approve the spirit of wanting to take him down, however.

It was more like "Bet they won't let me back after this lol! *wink*"

Then leaning back knowing that all publicity is good publicity and this controversial rant is sure to boost engagement and the demand for his services.

What do CDs have to do with anything here? Does she not know that old computers used tapes and is somehow confused by the term "compact cassettes"? She's, like, 33 - too young for the reference to computers saving to tape to really be about anything she has first-hand experience with, but old enough that she probably should be aware that CDs don't qualify as "early days of home computing".

Or am I reading this completely wrong?

George Christensen has essentially already been ‘bullied’ off twitter already for being a sex tourist so good riddance if he’s actually hosed off for real. The thing is this dude was openly gay. He didn’t kill himself bc he was bullied on twitter, he killed himself bc internalised narratives about how femininity is weak directly clashed with his lived experiences as a gay dude. Guy lived with that festering wound his entire life and then became the main character on twitter for it. Maybe if he had better support he wouldn’t have killed himself but if he had better support he wouldn’t have been in a group disavowed from the right wing party for being too fash screaming at drag queens reading children’s books. It’s hosed up and George Christensen can gently caress himself for using it as his excuse to log off bc he hosed a 15 yo in the Philippines or we

The "early days of home computing" began whenever you began using a home computer, obviously. Could be 1982, could be 2003, there's no way to know.

There's a weird lovely little cabal of these fucks, all of whom are desperately trying to be as popular as Red Panels used to be, all of whom absolutely hate art and each other with a seething passion and smile through their teeth at each others' sad little victories, all of whom are now running scared and playing the deep irony "oh I'm not touching you" garbage card now since each of the platforms are getting incrementally better and better at seeing through their poo poo

They hate each other, really? I thought they were all pretty chummy for all being fashy fucks.

True, right. They all just tolerate each other to get rid of what they think are "the worse ones." I know stonetoss tried to start poo poo with me once, and he's just a dumbass who went "haha look a furry" and his sycophants tried to get "epic burns"

The second one of them actually hits success, which none of them will because they're all hateful artless ironic sad sack fucks who couldn't draw their way out of a paper bag except for stonetoss (and stonetoss is too known and toxic to get out of painful, shameful obscurity), they'll drop each other like a sack of flaming turds.

I'm apparently extremely dense. Having read these tweets and a couple dozen of the replies, I can't figure out what the actual issue or context is. Is the library just lying about giving the union workers raises, is that what's going on? How is that union-busting?
