I recently deleted my Twitter account so I'm now extra grateful for your Many Such Takes roundups because they allow me to indulge in my guilty pleasure (stupid internet drama) while still maintaining my lib cred. 🙏
Not concerned about my lib cred, but finding this calibre of stupid internet drama is almost a full time job. CHH is doing an immense public service dredging up the finest Twitter insanity.
Re the first part, there aren't any mountain lions in Britain so her ancestors were safe. But they all think it's oppressive to keep pet cats inside (something like 90% of UK cats are outdoor cats) so watch out if you're a bird.
“Mountain lion” is clearly wrong because mountain lions are from North America, but Europe definitely used to have lions (and before that cave lions), plus IIRC the ancestors of British people are mostly from the continent since the Angles and Saxons largely displaced out the Celts.
I have mixed feelings about the Uber Eats ID thing, but I've never, EVER seen "complaining when a woman say she feels unsafe" to actually accomplish anything.
This style of discourse has been incredible corrosive to how people engage with feminism in the past 5-10 years, without making life better for anyone.
If your mom/ wife/ sister has legal immigration status, you too can/will have the same status. You can get a dependent visa and you have been able to work on dependent visas for many many years now.
Any reason for pretending to be someone else on an app involves you having committed some sort of crime or having done something to get banned from the app.
Also if you can't work under your own name, you also likely can't get a driver's license. And if you actually mess up or do some harm, there's no accountability.
Doesn't seem like any good will come of getting into an uber with someone pretending to be someone else.
True but the sibling processing time is like ten years+. I agree that it's bad for people to use fake/other people's accounts but there is a reason why undocumented immigrants do it. See also that fascinating story about the woman who sold fake Ubereats accounts at scale, and eventually went to prison.
That timeline sounds like it's for the green card, not for a dependent visa. When your green card is processing, you get a different authorization that can be used to legally work while your permanent residency is processing. But prior to that, you are on some other kind of visa, like a work visa or a refugee visa. Dependent visa on a work visa doesn't take long to come.
The Uber Eats person is so obviously right and I don't know why people play dumb with this sort of thing
I have enjoyed the memes about the shooter but the people being self righteous about it and talking about how it's some epic act of revolution are annoying
I think the best part of Spotify Wrapped is the fake genre names they use. I asked my kids, and here are their top genres, according to Spotify: 23 year old female: Indie Sleaze Strut Pop, Vampire Rock Out Industrial, Scene Rock-ish Emo. The last two sound similar, imo. 21 year old male: he was only given one genre: Vampire Football Rap, which is non sensical, but does symbolize a college senior in a fraternity whose college had a great football season, which he is.
Spotify, what's with the vampire obsession, though?

Someone has to do it! 😂

Hahahaha thank you

Also, the assassin was Timothee Chalamet.

I’m not sure academics realize how intrinsically fucking stupid the idea of a thesis on meta smells discourse sounds to normal people
If society doesn't want a lot of lonely old people on its hands, it should help the lonely teenagers. Totally agree, CHH.

One of my months was described as "Boujee Clean New Orleans Hip Hop" but none of the artists listed are from New Orleans?
I love how you cut out that "user" who was commenting app the fascist door dash stuff, NOT A GOOD EGG
The good news is everyone’s done dunking on the female conductor
Is Aella the one who had a 42 man birthday gang bang as reported by the podcast "Blocked and Reported."

Those 2 things should be mutually exclusive.....

Amazingly there was not one, but two "hot assassin" discourses this week!

Sure, sex is part of the human experience. So is pooping, but I don't want to watch that in your show either.
Nice interview with Dr Louks in Chronicle https://www.chronicle.com/article/her-thesis-on-the-politics-of-smell-stirred-the-online-masses-heres-what-she-thinks-about-it
Hanania is a right wing troll trying to drum up business for Elons failing Twitter.....
Hanania is a right-wing troll, but specifically he trolls the remaining right-wing audience by posting resist lib takes.
Also, he's Palestinian.
Uh, yea, but she's hot so how could guys get irritated at her?
