Gillian Branstetter: This is the equivalent of your dealer saying "maybe you should try talking to someone"

This is the equivalent of your dealer saying "maybe you should try talking to someone"

Reminds me of Dave Mustaine realizing that he had a serious addiction problem because Slash sat him down and told him he was "partying too hard" and needed to "slow down".

Apparently when they were filming Blues Brothers, John Belushi told Carrie Fisher to dial back her cocaine consumption.

Brian Jones got fired by Keith Richards for excessive drug use. In 1969. In The Rolling Stones.

It’s this thing that happened on my Facebook wall but with famous people instead

It was so bad a guy I went to college with whose nickname was literally “Conspiracy Theory Dan” replied to tell her she was “fucking insane.”

One of the members of NOFX was called "the biggest junkie I have ever seen" by Courtney Love

and when that happens.... 😝

Dave Vanian has said Lemmy sat him down to have a serious chat about his drinking at one point

Impressive if true

This one is the most damning of all.

Apparently Julia Cameron, the woman who wrote The Artist’s Way, got that talk from Hunter S. Thompson of all people. Imagine HST, pupils the size of nickels, face lightly dusted with various illicit powders, very somberly telling you he’s concerned you’ve been going too hard.

I see it a bit differently: this is her dealer demanding payment. Elon is providing her with a platform from which she can broadcast her bigotry (ie her drug of choice), she can pay him with tweets that might help keep normies coming to the site.

🎯

The sheer bossman arrogance of the request for better free content; the condescending “you’d be so pretty if you smiled more” to one of his actual peers in age and commercial success. Just gross.

He clearly has very little ability to demand payment from her. He's going to kick her off for being negative?

Yeah that's about it.

This reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence telling a story about being drunk at a party and Miley Cyrus telling her to get her shit together.

Me on a first date: So, before we begin, I just want to confirm the size of your gametes.

and it's a month old tweet, which raises so many more questions* * = I do not require the answers to these questions at this time

It's her pinned!

haha amazing

There's a big "maybe you should smile more" energy to Elon's response.

I was just thinking the same thing. Is it too much to hope she starts beef with him and gets herself deplatformed for it? 🤣

Probably would be the best thing for her and all of us. She needs some time to recover from terf brain.

No way! She needs to stay on Twitter because it fulfills her needs to "do" something about trans people. If she gets off, she will find other ways to do that, and most likely we will see spikes in her (already open) contributions to anti-trans activists and instituational bigotry.

you know it's bad when Elon "my trans daughter wants nothing to do with me" Musk is telling you to move on.

even evil gets dull after a while

the sad truth of being human 🥱

I’ve even heard it described as banal, but maybe that’s a byproduct of having dated Heidegger?

That's Eichmann. Heidegger is more about the philosophical evasion of evil

I’m joking that Heidegger was so bad in bed it led to Arendt concluding that evil was super boring

If I had known about that I would have gotten it. She slept with Heidegger?

Unfortunately yes: www.themarginalian.org/2016/04/25/h...

The Remarkable Love Letters of Hannah Arendt and Martin Heideggerwww.themarginalian.org “Why is love rich beyond all other possible human experiences and a sweet burden to those seized in its grasp? Because we become what we love and yet remain ourselves.”

especially if your dealer was also an addict and was projecting

LMAO when Elon goes, "You're making Twitter look bad."

"You're embarassing the nazis!"

Bring on the TERF wars.

Tbh I wish I had his optimism. "Twitter is becoming known for JK Rowling being weird and literally nothing else that I need to think about" is incredible levels of self-confidence/delusion

The best part is their dipshit reactionary followers seem ready to tear into each other. Let them consume one another.

Sexist billionaire TERF tells billionaire TERF “smile, sweetheart.”

Also the equivalent of ‘Cheer up Luv’.

He wants her to branch out into other categories of hatred.

I get it, but nah. This is his superiority complex showing while having his sexist side still show dominance. If a man said this, he would just respond 💯 & move on. He saw a point of weakness to attack & seem better than her in every way without hurting her feelings. He's dumb, but knows gaslighting

This

Reminds me of the time Laura Loomer was on Alex Jones just totally melting down about how her career was destroyed, shrieking in tones that dogs could barely hear, and Alex rolled his eyes and sighed and said "Yeah, that kinda stuff happens sometimes."

This is the equivalent of Pablo Escobar telling you to go to rehab.
