It's honestly hard to tell, because the lack of makeup makes him look fucking weird all on its own.
Formerly AttackKitty. Calmer, more mindful, more demure; still ready to point out the folly of faux-leftism and its obvious parasocial relationship with MAGA.

Matt, I'm sorry to inform you that even though we only occasionally interact on here, we are obviously in a toxic parasocial relationship and codependent upon one another. I don't make the rules.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
It's kind of weird how you all pretend any social relationship is "parasocial." It's almost like you all suffer some version of anti-social personality disorder or something.

Also, the Bourne films are significantly better despite being poor adaptations (and barely even that) of the source material.

Like my dude, the entire noble savage concept is predicated on "sure, they're backward and uncivilized but have you considered they're also better."
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you under the impression that noble savage tropes do not generally come alongside noted defects to soften their introduction?
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
And then getting super mad when people point that out.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
You seem to be confusing me and OP, here. And while I do not and will not speak for OP, I assure you I am not mad. I just think you're a white dude peddling noble savage tropes.

You fucking suck at communicating if you genuinely expect people not to take "hey what about this system, you racist white man" as presentation of said system as a model.

Which, ironically, is basically rephrasing the criticism leveled at him but pretending it's a positive thing. Our media "elite" are the most fragile fucking people on earth not named Trump.

Jesus Christ, Gavin Newsom is not going to sacrifice trans people (and to be clear: I'm speaking here AS a trans person). The other option quite fucking literally will, though, so if Newsom is the nominee (he won't be), I sincerely hope you decide to love your wife more than your ego.

They really do seem to have some kind of institutional inability to accept criticism with anything approaching grace. These people would die in a typical corporate performance review session.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
You're not gonna believe this, but if you want Democrats to fight they do kind of need money. Yes, the emails and texts can be annoying; but if they're "pissing you off" maybe you should take a deep breath.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
That might be because the DNC is a fundraising organization.

Gazans THEMSELVES begged for anyone but Trump, because they knew Trump would give free rein to Trump. I don't consider not listening to the people actually suffering to be a sign of actually fucking caring about them.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
Ali, if these people cared about Gazans or their fellow humans they would have voted for Harris or protested the literal rise of fascism. They didn't do either of those things, because they - and now you - are using genocide as a cudgel against perceived political enemies (and Jews).

Personally, I'd avoid telling a black woman to "create space for others' suffering." Especially in such a disgustingly dismissive fashion.

CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
"They protested the only person who could help them" Does that not strike you as fundamentally fucking stupid?
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
Man, I don't know how the hell you call yourself a journalist or news anchor when you still willfully pretend the protests about Gaza weren't primarily about "fuck Democrats" using Gaza as an excuse. Just willful fucking blindness, here.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay, fair. "Fuck the Jews" is a goalpost, I suppose.
Ebony Noor! I love garden season! ✊🏿 (@darlingebony.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Talking about how horrific the images out of Gaza was "confrontational" to you? Meanwhile, Trump and Jared Kushner even during the campaign were talking about what nice beachfront property it would make. Was she "confrontational" or just too uppity? Yeah, I'm asking.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
This suggests Trump's approach was NOT confrontational, which is quite a thing to say.
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social) reply parent
The point here isn't "don't criticize" someone; it's that you and the media at large focused criticism on Harris and let Trump slide, and have done so for ten goddamned years. "Oh, we noted he... " No, fuck off. He said he would be a dictator - EXPLICITLY - and this wasn't a five alarm fire for you
CalmKitty (@calmkitty.bsky.social)
Nothing has ever more swiftly convinced me that someone who is paid to know things does not know a goddamned thing about that for which he's allegedly paid. It was obvious from the onset that there was absolutely nothing that could be done to satisfy the protesters. They repeatedly moved goalposts.

It’s perfectly valid that the House & Senate Minority Leaders & the 2026 DSCC Chair haven’t rushed to endorse a DSA candidate running for a local position, that is not federal, who has a voting track record that includes voting against a ban on ghost guns & cyber exploitation, with MONTHS to spare.

And then will come the third wave in which the same commenters from the 'first wave' get viscerally angry that you 'tricked' them into complimenting (and I am misgendering here only for the accuracy of the statements you'll see) men. Notably: this applies only to transwomen. Transmen, as always,

And in case people think you're lying, I would ask them to go post a picture of any moderately well known trans insta model or porn star basically anywhere on the internet and watch what happens. You'll get a first wave of admiration for how pretty she is, then a second wave of transphobic slurs.
