Another good way to think of this moment is that the American secret police are increasingly comfortable black bagging American citizens on camera and in broad daylight with no basis of detention. The mere act of criticism, no matter how petty and silly, is its own justification for brutality.

"Stephen Miller always has the expression of someone who masturbates to the entirety of 'Come And See'" - you can make a point about how they carry themselves without making it about a physical factor they don't have control over - and without looping in people who look the same.

C'mon.

Yeah, it's an extreme point, but still valid. Out of all the very valid reasons to excoriate that man, you're falling back on that?

Sure, dunks get eyeballs, and the hope is that you can have some message permeate through the news cycle. But there are better ways to dunk.

I do not understand why this is so hard. AOC is in the news for dunking on Miller's height, and just... don't do this.

Every time you resort to appearance-based arguments, you cast doubt on your entire stance. Are you really principled, or are you basing policy off ick factor?

An altered screen cap. The original is a screen cap of someone's social media post with Wil Wheaton smiling into the camera juxtaposed with Alex Jones at his well-publicized failure of a defamation trial. The text above says "If you ever think that hate doesn't make you age poorly, here's a reminder that Will Wheaton is two years OLDER than Alex Jones".

Overlayed in yellow text at a diagonal angle is "hey can we not do this?"

The previous screen cap is now overlayed with the following text: "If you clown on someone for their physical appearance, people who, through no fault of their own, look the same way can see you doing that. Associating physical characteristics with bad people & bad actions is crappy logic, full stop. It assigns virtue to appearance, and that's a tool that's been used to dehumanize people and deprive them of their rights and dignity. It's not better just because you're the one doing it. It's gross. Do not."

Top picture: Misato, from Neon Genesis Evangelion standing in the dining room hallway, clearly hungover and wearing last night's party clothes, saying "What a week, huh?"

Bottom picture: Shinji at the dining room table eating breakfast toast, and Pen Pen mid-horf-swallow of a fish, staring reproachfully at Misato. Shinji is saying "Misato, it's Tuesday".

PROTIP: Letting your indoor vine plants run wild & tangle over eachother is a really fun away to give your home workspace a lush jungle feeling. It's also a great way to make future you feel like a monster when you tear them apart trying to move them.

Can anyone recommend some decent computer speakers that have a little bit of bass and that aren't super expensive? Sound bars are OK as well.

"It's cool for me to do that because I look like that too!"

Great! So you hate yourself and me too? I don't want to be a party to your own issues, especially if you weaponize them in a way that lands fallout on me and the people I care about who are innocently leading their lives!
