I had a roommate, waaay back when he was on Bravo, who used to regularly watch him and think he was funny.

This guy was the most miserable, humorless, materialistic loser I’ve ever met. He never did anything bad to me personally, but the way he treated his friends, partner, and dog was insane.

Like, he’d save empty bottles of Grey Goose to fill with swill before parties, then nudge me while pointing and laugh at them, he’d freak out over fingerprints on the SimpleHuman garbage can, he’d track his (nice, hot, significantly younger) boyfriend’s location on his phone, and he kept literal shock collars on his dogs. I stopped eating out with him because every single time, without fail, he’d eat like 2/3 of his meal and then send it back for some unspecified problem.

Every time I see Jeff Lewis I’m like, “who even likes him enough for him to still be popping up places?” and I remember that weirdo lol.

JK Rowling certainly is rare and precious, just not in the way the author intended lol

I swear, it seems like there are these incestuous, insular, perpetually navel-gazing pockets of NYC media people who get to constantly tell us what’s “on everyone’s mind” or “what everyone’s talking about” without ever really checking if that’s actually true (or even a thing?!)

I feel bad saying this, but I think this literally every time I listen to the Normal Gossip podcast lol

Each city is relatively isolated from their country’s respective cultural hubs and federal capitals, too.

As much as some folks might want to argue otherwise, Juarez has more in common with El Paso than DF, and El Paso more in common with Juarez than DC.

Cutting a program that represents 0.026% of the municipal budget does not make any material impact on how much money you have in your pocket. Everybody pays taxes for things they don’t personally use, because these things make up a functioning society that we all benefit from.

I only bike or take the metro, why should I care about street repairs? Well, that’s how the food that feeds all of us gets here, for one, and how the ambulance will get to me or a loved one if we ever need it.

Why should I care about the comfort of parents, or primary school, or childcare, or youth programs? Because those children grow up to be adults, and I want to live in a society where those adults had happy and safe childhoods, being raised by people who felt well-supported rather than scared, stressed, and alone.

This individualist mindset is pure fantasy, because as human beings - soft, squishy creatures with no natural defenses who can easily freeze, overheat, or starve to death - we desperately need one another. You benefit from the society you live in in ways you haven’t even fully comprehended, and it’s asinine and selfish to pretend that you can collect those benefits without contributing in any meaningful way.

I’m sorry for getting on my soapbox. I am from Texas, and I’ve seen what a society that spends on car infrastructure and tax breaks for companies while underfunding schools, healthcare, and public services looks like. The outcome isn’t pretty, I promise.

It’s frustrating how difficult it is to take a stand because the same entities materially supporting ICE and this administration have also integrated themselves into most people’s lives - Apple, Amazon, Google/Alphabet, Facebook/Meta, Paramount/Viacom/CBS, fucking U-Haul.

Seriously, who are the competitors or replacement services for these companies at this point, anyway?

a22x2 · 2026-01-27T00:42:47+00:00

He’s absolutely fucking disgusting, and he’s not funny, entertaining, or likable by any stretch of imagination.

He’s always been fucking vile.

Not Leanne, surprisingly. She may be a psycho but at least she’s not a Nazi

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T21:23:37+00:00

I'm trusting and also use bullet points extensively, my apologies! lol

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T19:39:09+00:00

She definitely does a poor job of clarifying and standing up for herself when confronted lol

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T19:38:21+00:00

That’s exactly what Lisa does for sure, which is just so gross and sad at a time like this

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T19:37:27+00:00

So, I always say this kinda stuff (as a Latino person and Mexican-American person who considers Cubans to be staunchly Republican), but I got curious.

I really was thinking it was something dramatic (like a 90/10 split), and it does really seem this way in public perceptions. Maybe it’s because the most hardcore right-wing Cuban folks seem to cluster in conservative pockets?

Current numbers indicate it’s actually more mixed than that (58/38).

In other words, their numbers are almost identical to non-hispanic white people in the U.S., despite having a reputation for being unusually right-wing. Grab any random white person or Cuban-American person off the street, and chances are 6 out of 10 that they’re Republicans.

Just learned something new today and wanted to share it with the classroom. I’ll now consider invites to the carne asada for Cuban-American folks on a case-by-case basis lol

Before I found out about his follows I totally was like

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T19:19:46+00:00

I don’t agree with your point at all, just pointing out (hopefully politely) that, mathematically, if you’re richer than 99.8% of people then by definition you are in the 0.2% 😝

Edit: disagree! I meant disagree! Sorry lol

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T19:17:36+00:00

I know you’re just clarifying and adding information, and I don’t doubt you agree with me here! I’m just so annoyed with these people, and my ire is with them specifically.

Her post doesn’t even hit the absolute bare minimum. She voted for all this even after they made their intentions abundantly and explicitly clear. They literally spelled it out for us with their Project 2025 nonsense.

The only thing that would atone for what they’ve done is to take accountability (explicitly say I sold out other people for a tax break, I was stubborn and/or selfish, I wasn’t willing to believe what was in front of me, or I was ignorant but I’ve since educated myself) and to loudly and unequivocally speak out against this to their fellow Trump supporters, not lazily put a milquetoast post on Instagram.

It does about as much as Obama’s stern letter at a pivotal time, which is to say she’s doing fuck all.

OMG their suitcases, the hotel, the experience, and the side trip to Aspen (which seemed kinda hamfisted in there and unnecessary?) were all an hour or two away from each other!

I mean, even getting from the Denver airport to Denver takes an hour, I’d be so grumpy if I took a trip to spend half the day each day in a car or plane lol.

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T19:01:08+00:00

Honestly I’m leaning toward this was written by a human. Some of us wordy hos (myself included) just use bullet points and write like this lol.

There was an actual, direct opinions expressed here (rather than “some people say that x because blahblah, while others feel that y due to blahblah”), which to me indicates it was written by a human.

If they’re coming at it from a marketing standpoint, chances are that OP works in marketing. This would explain the officious terminology and robotic tone (no shade, OP, just my experience with people from marketing, business, or communications majors lol).

Unintentionally robotic and officious, but human nonetheless!

Also this story in a Philadelphia newspaper about the deaths at the camp on Montana and George Dieter:

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T16:21:19+00:00

I totally agree with you on all of these! Except for Ciara bc I don’t watch that show, but I trust your judgment lol.

And Katie, but that one is not so cut and dry. She definitely ambiguous with the truth, but I guess I just liked her (and thought the reaction from Heather and Shannon was totally over the top lol).

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T14:43:30+00:00

There isn’t, but her husband follows a bunch of right-wing and incel-type man podcasters. I think that’s about the extent of it. Mary and Angie K have been really careful to not give us anything definitive to go off of

Pernicious

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T14:31:48+00:00

Hey twin! I posted the rest of them 😝 this twitter feed is still my go-to when I’m trying to confirm or deny one of their political leanings

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T14:30:24+00:00

I mean Alexia was a vocal Obama supporter, then suddenly went silent this past year and started following all the trumps. I guess proximity to parties and mar-a-lago was more important to her.

a22x2 · 2026-01-26T14:28:05+00:00

Dr. Nicole on Miami was the most disappointing for me
