No, he’s a huge resistance lib account who, like many of those grifters, is kind of at sea without Trump in office. He’s been parodied and imitated before which is probably what you’re thinking of, and also probably why he’s so upset about his lack of blue check.

Makes me consider how keenly lowtax must be feeling his lack of a blue check these days :grin:

OK though now I'm pretty confused. "Tribe" I get, but where does "pipe hitting" enter the picture for Jewish stereotypes

Urbandictionary et al. are not helpful, just a lot of "it's a reference to Native Americans 'smoking a peace pipe'" "Oh ok, thanks! :downs:"

It doesn't, he just thought it sounded cool. I dunno if he or Gilligan knew it was about smoking crack and not just about them being ruthless and methodical. I mean, I didn't for ages either 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't really care if Steak-umms or whoever gets a checkmark, it's all bullshit of one corporation fellating another anyway, but I do see a difference. The official Steak-umms twitter account is a representative of a brand, and it's that brand's prerogative to make sure people are aware of which account is the one that officially represents them. For this guy, his whole brand is his twitter account. He's not using it to represent him as a person, or whatever finance poo poo he does outside of that. The twitter account represents nothing but itself, so saying that it's the official representation of that own account is meaningless. If it deserved a checkmark so would literally every other account.

OTOH having a blue check is a great way to signal that whatever you're about to say is stupid as gently caress so I think the Horse should get be allowed to get one

That's what it is. "Member of the tribe" has been used for Jewish people a lot and he's just extending the 'tribe' analogy to be like smoking a peace pipe at a pow-wow.

It is completely unrelated to the usage of "pipe hitting" in Pulp Fiction, which is just referring to the slang of "pipe hitter" as a badass who does what it takes to get the job done, often with physical force. That term has a lot of military history and then sort of transitioned into street lingo. The idea of it being related to hitting a crack pipe is a complete fabrication that I can only assume is based on gangsters from inner cities using the term and outsiders just assuming it was crack related.

edit: except I guess I have to concede that maybe QT meant it to be a crack smoking reference because I wouldn't put it past him to use it like that. Still makes plenty of sense in the normal way though.

Funny thing since Hoarse Whisperer iirc wasn't open about his identity til he was doxxed as a NYC finance guy

It's even better because he wasn't really "doxxed". Other neo-liberals he pissed off in twitter DMs were pretty sure they knew his name via real life interactions, and his views matched the pharma/marketing/big business experience on LinkedIn. They then went to Jack Allison (Bernie supporting podcaster they hate) for help to confirm via a yearbook search. Jack Allison explains the story on Blocked Party, which is basically IOSM the podcast https://blockedparty.libsyn.com/episode-95-jack-allison-v-hoarse-wisperer.

It's hard to explain why without like a thousand of his post as a style guide, but a lot of people on twitter were under the assumption that he was a Black woman.

Combining the idea of Jewish tribes with native American peace-pipes was also invoked in Breaking Bad in much the same way:

Saul Goodman: Faith and begorrah! A fellow potato eater! My real name's McGill. The Jew thing I just do for the homeboys. They all want a pipe-hitting member of the tribe, so to speak...

First time I heard "pipe-hitting" was in Pulp Fiction.

I was never really sure if Marcellus Wallace was saying his goons were crazy because they was on the crack-pipe, or they were crazy because they were the types to beat a guy to death with pipes.

Now someone posts the "why not both?" taco meme.
