Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youā€™ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

    Gavin Newsom has also allegedly been worked behind the scenes to kill pro-transgender legislation; and on his podcast heā€™s been talking to people like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon and teasing anti-trans talking points.

    I guess this all makes sense if heā€™s going to go for a presidential bid: try to appeal to the fascists (it wonā€™t work and also to heck with him) while also laying groundwork for the sort of funding a presidential bid needs.

    If I was a Californian CEO and received a burner phone Iā€™d text back ā€œThanks for the e-waste :<ā€ but maybe thatā€™s why Iā€™m not a CEO.

      When this all was revealed his popularity also tanked apparently. Center/left now dislikes him, the right doesnā€™t trust him. So another point for the ā€˜donā€™t move right on human rights you dummiesā€™ brigade.
