We Hunted The Mammoth

Donald Trump is never more ridiculous than when he’s trying his hardest to look tough. He can never quite pull it off; his insecurities give him away. Instead of inhabiting his masculinity with quiet confidence, he’s awkward, unconvincing, a little boy trying too hard to be a big boy.

If you were to ask one Reddit’s self-described “involuntary celibates” just why they were celibate, they would probably give you an answer something like this: Because I’m ugly and short and a socially awkward loser, and in today’s terrible world “Chads” get all the chicks — though back in the good old days I would have been assigned a wife through some sort of arranged marriage or something and thus I wouldn’t be alone and mad and, oh, by the way, women are a bunch of worthless whores.

Enjoy your 4/20, however you choose to celebrate it! Or not celebrate it! (Does anyone outside the US know what it is?) Some tweets.
Also, like all Today in Tweets posts, consider this an OPEN THREADDDDDD.
Hey there, sorry I wasn’t able to post a real post today, kinda wrenched my back, nothing serious but hurts like heck and now I’m sleepy from the muscle relaxants they gave me. So I thought I’d post a recent filtering experiment involving Sean Hannity and some squids.
Hoping to resume regular posting tomorrow. Consider this an open thread.

I‘m going to start doing these again, hopefully daily, little open threads with some stuff I’ve run across on Twitter. I’ll probably make them a bit shorter than the ones I used to do.

Some straight guys like women who wear makeup. Others prefer the natural look. Still others think women are spineless, mindless consumerist c*nts trying to hide their ugly insides by painting their outsides.

Several days ago, I wrote about the burgeoning cult of Nasim Aghdam I found on 4chan’s /pol/ board, a longtime hotbed of incel lusts and “ironic” Nazism. Since then, /pol/’s love for the YouTube shooter, who injured three before taking her own life, seems to have grown exponentially.

A couple of years ago, some terrible person came up with the phrase “weaponized vagina” to refer to the alleged power of women to quickly and easily take down powerful men and make a ton of money in the process by falsely accusing them of rape or sexual harassment.

Imagine being so invested in the idea of Donald Trump as a Sex Lord that you hallucinate — or simply invent — a quote from Stormy Daniels as “proof” of the Donald’s prowess.

The Internet’s incels long ago adopted Isla Vista killer Elliot Rodger, the maladjusted twentysomething who murdered six in cold blood as a kind of revenge for his “involuntary celibacy,” as a patron saint of sorts.
