He just casually mentioned Project Veritas like they're a respectable organization.

"To make matters worse, they had to watch a number of smart people such as Ann Coulter-"

*record scratch* *spits coffee*

wut.

"I don't need a trash talk squad on twitter, I need support in forms of self-care, money and platform security or visibility to people who can get me those things." - some clown Zoe Quinn quoted

omg. No. Please don't help people make a living off getting dog piled on twitter.

Who would I be if I didn't read this book? #internetdrama

somone did a poor editing job on this book. clearly the order of the chapters was changed and no one adjusted the content to flow logically. he suddenly started calling "charlie" by "josephine" (which made me think for a second they were two seperate gorillas) and the explanation for this comes two chapters later.

Man, that's not how a photocopier works.

I am so delighted he talks about the FBI's tactics against Martin Luther King.

Holy shit, I was so engrossed in this book I lost track of time. That hasn't happened to me in decades.

Economics: does anyone understand them?

It's 3am and I was dead asleep. A strong gust of wind just slammed a bush into my window. Two things - 1) it made a sound just like a mannequin from Silent Hill, 2) my first thought was, "Oh god, it's the EAR."

Seriously, would it kill this author to look up California laws before writing them into her stories? This shit is really common knowledge if you're from there.

And now the author has made it a whole thing how Joe doesn't have a boating license...in California...where you don't need one.

I can't keep track of all the people he's murdered.

I kind of hate violet. Her whole ridiculous "self-control" thing makes me want to have a stroke. It's puritanical bs masquerading as intelligence. There's a difference between wanting to experience anticipation and getting off on torturing yourself.

The library director told me this was her favorite book so I pretty much have to read it XD

omg, how does she hold every opinion all at once?

The author definitely shouldn't be writing a therapist character or a patient with "OCD" without looking up what OCD is because omg, this isn't even close to right.

lol omg wait. has the author never been to IKEA? You don't push big metal carts through the showroom. XD

finally, someone who can explain to me why people give a shit about star wars.

omg, I can't stop picturing the author as Missy from Big Mouth.

Man, I did not expect this book to talk about sports this much.

OOoooooOoooh man, Hillary just said that the reason 5 million more voters voted 3rd party in 2016 that in the previous presidential election was because of Russian interference in our election.

Way to completely ignore what those numbers are trying to tell you.

Now she's talking about Putin "manspreading." Goddamn it, Hillary.

I'm really glad she talks about the situation with the emails at length because I for the life of me could barely make sense of it despite several attempts to sit down and understand what, exactly, happened. I very much wanted to read her account of what that was all about. Really, the book could have just been this one chapter. XD

Well I'm over a decade late on this book.

Is it weird that I like coldplay (before viva la vida - that album is complete trash), but I genuinely like it when other people haaaaate them with a burning passion? XD

Hillary: Being a politician is hard because everyone quotes you out of context. I want to make it clear that Bernie has said totally unfair things about me and he knows it. I wish people were better than this.

Also Hillary: *quotes Bernie out of context and attacks quote for several paragraphs*

ahhhh, she's talking about how AI is going to rise up and inslave us. Actual quote: "Think about it: have you ever seen a movie where the machines start thinking for themselves that ends well?" XD

She spent all this time explaining how she advocated for the people of Flint, then she goes on to imply that she lost the state of MI during the primaries because she wasn't as good at being (fake) outraged as Bernie, but then ALSO implies that she lost the MI general election because of racists who didn't like her work in (mostly black) Flint. So MI voters are both Bernie Bros and white nationalists, apparently.

Every time she goes after Bernie Sanders she just sounds bitter he was so well liked. She's basically like "Bernie was outraged about everything, but I was all about practical solutions based in reality." Meanwhile she basically admits that he was popular because he advocated for people and she's like, "I did that sometimes!"

She keeps listing all these things she does that are stereotypically female, and she's basically like, "I'm a woman who does things the way women do things." Uhh, I'm a woman, and I don't operate like this all. Rhetoric like this makes so many assumptions about how "women" behave like we're all basically the same. It's alienating. Stop trying to hook arms with me and act like we're going through something together.
