I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So I have been up since 3am which is contributing to this, but I just had to raise my voice at work. DO YOUR JOB, do it correctly. Stop half assing and thinking that is good enough.

I heard about the anti-semitic imagery in that twitter from Trump's campaign and I thought it was probably a tempest in a teapot and it was just someone using a star image without thinking how it would look. Then I saw it and... well, you have to catch that. Calling that out isn't a reach.

Also, it was originally posted a few weeks ago on a white supremacist site.

Ok, wow, the Trump campaign makes it really hard to give them benefit of the doubt.

They've retweeted things from white supremacist Twitter accounts before. Ones that were obviously neo-Nazi from the name or profile pic, not even ones where you'd have to go and look at older posts to figure it out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I stopped giving the Trump campaign the benefit of the doubt on anything a while ago. they don't deserve it.

Isn't a high percentage of Trump's retweets from white supremacist sites? I feel like I read that somewhere.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

More-or-less normal day after the 4 day weekend. Felt like a Monday...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

NPR has a story this afternoon about Trump and white supremacists.

You'd think, even if by some insane chance it was an accident, that realizing you have goals the white supremacists agree with, maybe it's a sign that your goals are BAD.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I suppose one would have to have an awareness of how white supremacists relate to the larger culture for that realization to sink in. Seen through the lens of total narcissism, groups of people agreeing with you probably look right-minded and sensible despite their odd sartorial choices of white robes and hoods.
