@JonKramer @Pat It's just anything that's derogatory. If it's intended to offend or denigrate the listener, it's an insult.
In other words, I don't think the concept of "insult" is limited to one part of speech. "dick" would be a noun, but "stupid" would be an adjective or a noun, and "shitting the bed" would be dominated by the verb. Yet all are insults.

also, are you supposed to say the quiet part aloud?

Republicans' acceptance of George Santos is the nail in the coffin for the party ever claiming to have principles again.
Their only principle is gaining power.

"...journalists are put off by Musk’s antics, and dunk on him daily. But those same journalists — along with a bunch of people Musk arbitrarily suspended, fired, or laid off — continue to tweet just the same..." https://open.substack.com/pub/platformer/p/why-journalists-cant-quit-twitter?r=15jk4b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
@FisherTX14 Are you kidding? "NY Democrats force Trump out of Campaign" is a headline Republicans would salivate over.
The simple grinding of the wheels of justice will suffice, thank you.
@itwasntme From what I understand, it's either that, or trying to prove that he did it for personal reasons rather than electoral ones. Neither sounds particularly convincing given the facts presented.
@CapeHeaven Even if they didn't know from official channels, Trump was bitching about the charges being leaked on social media last night, so it's pretty safe to say he knew going in.
@Teri_Kanefield Judd Legum did a related thread about this using a similar case precedent: https://journa.host/@juddlegum/110142983688010800

"For the journalists who have come to rely on it, there is almost no indignity they won’t suffer to get their fix. ... The company was symbolically shitting all over them, and journalists couldn’t get enough" https://www.platformer.news/p/why-journalists-cant-quit-twitter @caseynewton
@chancerydaily Also, what would even be the symbolism of his face being a fingerprint? That doesn't make sense.
@chancerydaily It looks like one disembodied feature of his face that's been heavily abstracted, but no, I don't see the whole face.
@chancerydaily It must be, because I find it incomprehensible.

@arossp Is it still "toxic" masculinity if the only one hurt is bud light?
PSA for fellow white men:
The only time you're able to pull off a mustache-only facial hairstyle is when you're a highway patrolman or a fireman. If you're not either of those things, then you're not pulling it off and your face looks weird.
@CDunnPasadena @ravenonthill @briannawu Both sides have their fair share of voters who won't ever vote for the other side. It's much more about heritage than media. You won't ever convince them to vote for the other side, but you can sometimes convince them to stay home.

Schedule of today's events:
1:00 pm: Trump surrenders at Manhattan DA office.
2:15 pm: Trump brought to Judge Merchan's courtroom for arraignment, unsealing of charges.
2:27pm: Trump enters "not guilty" pleas to each count.
2:31pm: Distraction from smoke bomb in back of courtroom
2:32pm: Trump leaps from courtroom window into mattress truck waiting on side street in dramatic escape.
2:35pm: Mayor Adams calls Batman.
@nus@mstdn.social Seems unlikely. If he was going to do that, he'd have cut a deal instead of being indicted and charged.
@GottaLaff @captainsmartass You didn't use quotation marks.
@captainsmartass @GottaLaff Agreed. This is a gross misrepresentation.
Those of us who oppose actual fascism don't appreciate the crying of "wolf".
