And before you @ me with the tired, default, overused "Are you surprised?" No. I never am. Stop asking.
Outraged? Yes. Disgusted? Yes. Sickened? Yes. But never surprised.
Via Elie Mystal:
Tom Cotton is a racist dipshit and while it's always fashionable to focus on the racist part, I really don't think the dipshit part gets enough attention.
Tom Cotton: "Have you ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party?"
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew: "Senator, I'm Singaporean. No!"
"If Tom Cotton were captured by a group of vigilante African Americans and had to talk for two minutes without being racist or he would die, Tom Cotton would ask for a phone so he could call his loved ones and tell them he loves them because even Tom Cotton knows that he couldn’t do it."
Seems to be a single user instance, the admin is aggressively rude with a bit of anti-science anti-medicine thrown in. Trashes Democrats. Indistinguishable from the Russian trolls who masquerade as liberals. I think a #FediBlock of status.sexyferret.science would be well justified.
Good time to point out there are absolutely malicious actors with their own instances, and when you interact with them, they can see your public IP. And your email and other stuff.
I upset an instance admin last week. Got DDOSed minutes later. Wasn't a huge deal but depending on your situation, could be worse. Lotta bitter pricks out there.
@GottaLaff@lisamelton he’s running a company that has lied multiple times about sending information from the US to the CCP. This is not an insane question (it’s more like a useless question).
@GottaLaff I normally feel bad for being mean to people who don't have two brain cells to rub together, but for some reason with Tom Cotton it never bothers me.
@GottaLaff They all have weird head shapes, smiles that are grimaces and a forward tilt to how their head sits on their neck. Aliens is a reasonable conclusion
