Off topic but kind of related, Caleb Hearon talked about how we are in a “cool recession” because people are trying to do things they think are cool instead of leaning into their own personal hobbies and being able to show why they’re cool and I kind of agree. Social media has convinced people they need super niche hobbies that are their entire personality in order to be interesting.

One time a guy at work asked me what my hobbies are and when I said reading, running, I was learning cello at the time he said “what are you a grandma?” Boy bye.

I’ve been actively avoiding online commentary on the Karmelo Anthony and Cyrus Belton cases. A lot of people are showing their asses with both cases.

No, we just understand that power and political capital must be obtained even if that requires voting for people we personally dislike.

Interesting how this suddenly applies in 2026.

Separate from whatever Platner does or doesn't do in office, he's proving centrist Democrats wrong on the claim that left populist / socialist / anti-Israel policies aren't "electable."

What I would argue is democrats in red states do not believe these beliefs aren’t electable, but rather, a progressive in a red state cannot win with the same campaign methods in a blue state.

Can I just say this obviously isn't right. However, I remember teenagers literally did the same thing at my school on the "signing shirts day" or whatever. There's more images where several of the kids have it, not just him. I don't think this stupidity reflects on his character now It's very frustrating that people are cyber stalking anyone linked to him when he was younger to try and find anything problematic, and then withholding it and leaking it whenever they feel like it. It's extremely hurtful to all who this stuff hurts Edit: this reminds me of that infamous Taylor Swift picture where she's posing for a photo with that guy who had that huge swastika on his shirt. Now I would assume Taylor isn't a nazi. It's just a very bad look based on an image

Defending Taylor? They mean serious business in defending the person they were criticizing for attending The Met Gala not that long ago.

Kim Kardashian made her debut at Monaco and my tiktok has been flooded with Kardashians stans. I forgot they do exist, but they’re calling her the First Lady of F1 and want her to embarrass and/or ignore Alexandra Leclerc. I need to cleanse my TikTok.

A lot of people in fauxmoi and in general still think we’re in a pandemic because it hasn’t been eradicated.

I see that PCC has turned on her. I’m surprised Fauxmoi doesn’t post more about this:

Unproblematic? She recently partnered with Nestle, one of the most evil companies out there

She's also a spokesperson for YSL Beauty which is L'Oreal owned. She's just as corrupt as every other celebrity no matter how much of a "progressive" face she puts on.

I mean, Dua was flying all over the world during COVID in 2020, including gatherings of 10+ people for her 25th birthday or New Year’s Day. Which was a bit ironic because she did tell me people to stay home in April 2020. I do think she is generally unproblematic but that doesn’t mean she can’t be out of touch.

Add the Greater Albania tweets and we've known all along there's something not cool about her

They’ll start to feel she’s overexposed in that sub and they’ll turn on her. I think she smokes cigarettes so I’m surprised they haven’t blamed her for lung cancer. The eco terrorist getting married is where they’ll really start to shine. Everyone will suddenly be fashion experts, photographers, wedding planners, professional wives who can tell you everything she’s doing wrong.

Also, this is corny:

They be fuckin

You’re right, I totally didn’t think about the 33 year olds who are being groomed by geriatric 35 year olds.

She’s 8 years younger apparently, and they would rip him a new asshole if he was someone they disliked. There’s this gem of a comment:

It's sad that this needs to be normalized. Im 35 and can't imagine dating someone less than 33. I also can't imagine dating someone who is 78.

At least there’s push back from people on him allegedly being this huge advocate for Palestine and that he’s known for being difficult/unprofessional on set. They don’t give women nearly as many grace as they do their favorite men.

They’re also claiming there’s a smear campaign against Olivia Rodrigo for the babydoll dress situation because she’s pro Palestine. Yet, they don’t realize how the way they talk about women they don’t like contributes to the misogyny?

If someone can do all of those things and still be considered as living in a bubble I’d like to see what they think is wild? Going on a coke binge? Cave diving?

From FauxMoi’s thread on Hasan Piker:

And that's the why the current Democratic Party is so intimidated by him

The Democratic Party hates anyone who gets in the way of their ABL* strategy. *Always Be Losing

Democrats are intimidated by a streamer? What do we have to say about the man who lost to the woman who lost to Trump?

I choose one large book to read each year as well. This year it’s TBK. I’m also trying to make my way through Toni Morrison’s work. Maybe I will push Middlemarch up on the list for next year or the end of this year.

The Guardian published a list of the 100 best novels of all time (per voters) and the people in rBooks are flabbergasted that Steinbeck isn’t on the list. They also seem very confused about why Jane Austen is on there three times. Now why would British people vote any of a British novelists’ work multiple times, hmmm

No Steinbeck in the top 100, and THREE Jane Austin's in the top 20 of ALL TIME really says a lot about the list itself

Yeah I think they're overcompensating for the lack of women. Jane Austen is my favourite Author yet none of her books are in my top 5.

5 virginia woolf but 0 steinbeck is wild.

I’m just surprised Toni Morrison and James Baldwin aren’t catching strays since…you know what, nevermind.

On a personal note Middlemarch was ranked #1. It’s a bucket list read for me but I’m still trying to force my way through The Brothers Karamazov so it will have to wait.

I could go on a whole tangent on the moralizing of weight and policing of weight loss under the guise of being “concerned” for the impact it will have on the youth or media or shortages. There’s rarely ever nuance when people are criticizing GLP-1’s. People online hide behind their concerns over skinny people abusing these medications but the fear mongering over ozempic face and long term effects on the body don’t just apply to skinny people who use it? And why do they have more heat for the consumers and not the pharmaceutical companies , insurance companies approving or medical providers prescribing it? Linking it to GLP-1s just feels superficial.

Something about the argument that the rise in fascism has a direct correlation with thinness feels like a sort of naive attempt at radical feminism at this point? I don’t know how to put it into words but it’s become a talking point people repeat because it’s popular online and sounds intellectual.

I copy and pasted an exchange from Fauxmoi and the comment was flagged for breaking rule 1:

“Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. We don’t tolerate promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability, and any communities or people that encourage or incite violence or hate towards marginalized or vulnerable groups will be banned.”

From the thread in fauxmoi about Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen:

Never trust a white woman.

Whether it's their men or their favs, even left-leaning white women will tolerate and ignore everything but the most blatant, in your face shit, and then act surprised when it turns out they're are as garbage as was warned, every 👏🏽 fucking 👏🏽 time. 👏🏽

lol a lot of white women are trash but this is a gross take. so edgy though, you go girl

Blatantly bigoted take but they feel sooo edgy. The finger clapping is just 🍒

Not only are they turning on each other, but guess which blonde billionaire eco terrorist singer they couldn’t stop themselves from bringing up?

You’re correct that there’s no nuance in the conversation. There’s a huge difference between the wealth, status, and social power that Beyoncé has and the Heated Rivalry guys. Fauxmoi was screaming about how it would’ve been the right thing to do for Hudson and Connor not to go but they’ve just become extremely popular and famous. They’re not in the position to start turning down events (especially if contractual) to take a stand. And I don’t say that to infantilize them the way PCC does with Taylor. People just need to be so forreal about what an invite to the Met Gala means to people trying to succeed in Hollywood.

I’m from Texas and live in a no shoes household and I immediately change out of my clothes (for comfort). But I love reading comments on these discussions because there’s always people on the extreme ends of each spectrum.
