Gosh I totally feel that. Maybe something is going around.
I got to spend some time with my big sister. We had tea and talked awhile, then played Smash Bros. She apparently loves to spam Falcon Punch, so I got to see a lot of very entertaining slo-mo finishing blows. Like p-p-p-PAWWunchhh...
The Hawk Tuah Girl, also known as the Spit On That Thing Girl or Spit On That Thang Girl, refers to a woman who was interviewed in a viral TikTok video and was asked, "What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?" to which she responded in a Southern accent, "Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang," resembling a spitting sound amid oral sex.
This reminds me of another circular argument: Anything the president does can be considered "acting presidential" simply because they're president. You might've thought that shitposting on twitter was unbecoming of a world leader, but once a president does it, it's okay for a president to do.
An argument to protect a fool from public criticism now doubles as a defense against legal action.
I tried muting the TV and just reading the captions for a little, and it made me a fair bit more confident in Biden. And he did have some good moments after I turned the sound back on. I'm just worried it won't be enough. Maybe it's the anxiety of realizing that we've actually reached election season.
I keep tuning in and out. I tune out when Trump speaks because everything he says is just such an affront to objective reality. But then I also tune out when Biden speaks because... He just comes off as so old it's making me cringe. Like, this is the best we could come up with to combat a literal fucking fascist.
Then I wonder, what part of this am I listening to? The questions?
i don't remember. it's been over 24 h. seems bad.
