Anyway, let’s finish this with that James Gunn tweet.

Dylan Sprouse tweets Jared Leto saying that now he’s slipped into the DMs of every 18-25 year old model on the internet what is his success rate”. James Gunn replies “He starts at 18 on the Internet?”

“A few bad apples” is such a weird way to try to dismiss something as not serious. The saying is “a few bad apples SPOIL THE BUNCH”, not “it’s just a few bad apples so the bunch is definitely totally fine, eat it”

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I'm gonna get so fucking canceled

A professionally shot photo of William Hendrix, a "Young Republican" who Politico revealed texted “Bro is at a chicken restaurant ordering his food. Would he like some watermelon and kool aid with that?”
Hendrix was a communications assistant for Kansas’ Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach until Thursday. He also said in the chat that, despite political differences, he’s drawn to Missouri’s Young Republican organization because “Missouri doesn’t like f--s.”

I have no comment on this person's appearance.

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?
