who inexplicably attracts the most insane commenters on this site. jamelle bouie is an obvious choice but if we're going per thousand followers then i think @cait.bsky.social or @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social has him beat
what is WITH that
I earnest post frequently and I feel like I get more out of pocket shit on those than my politics posts sometimes, and those are always full of yelling
Gathering an undead legion but not doing anything nefarious; you sit having tea as they talk about their lives. Everyone sheds a little tear as Jehosephah describes losing two children and a mule while trekking through the dustbowl
funny. smart. good looking. in a great relationship. well liked. happy.
you have what they told themselves they deserve but can never have, and rather than figure their shit out they're taking it out on you
Few takes will ever be as straight-up dogfood-brained as “did you consider a couple of college students sharing an apartment might not be able to afford bowls?!”
There's an account around here who gets reposted into my timeline on occasion and all I know about them is that that pfp once posted a like 80 tweet thread about why neighbor chili was bad.
jamelle’s commenters make sense to me as the shitty byproduct of being a public facing black politics writer.
but cait’s people get weird. like, inventing whole new kinds of weird. “people who believe in burying the dead shouldn’t be allowed to own warm blooded pets.” all new freaks up in there.
I think my favorite was the person who was collecting illegally sourced human remains because it was part of their mental health or coming to terms with their own mortality or something
that was potpourri. the fact that you have to ask, though, in this case, does actually speak for itself. if cait stays active across a long enough timeline, it will be.
usually this is not true on the internet. but “this seems plausible in her replies” is, i think, an exception considering we’re mapping “who has the weirdest reply guys?”
someone pissing off jbouie is at least amusing to watch because of how viscerally he tends to react and it’s obviously fun to do. the weirdos who end up in caits mentions just get an “okay 👍” i don’t know what their ROI is
