I’ve heard it called Earth’s twin, but never specifically an evil twin.

I’m relieved I’m not the only one that saw a drink. I was wondering what a nearly-overflowing mug of iced coffee had to do with space.

It’s a self-preservation attempt. It’s the same reason bullies amass followers. Appeasing the powerful jerk usually works to prevent being targeted by them.

However, that would require the powerful jerk to actually value that sort of loyalty.

It’s clear that neither Trump nor Musk feel any kind of obligation to those who’ve lifted them up. Like many bootlickers across the United States, Kanye over-values his own importance and expects others to view him the same - similar to how many immigrants voted for Trump, thinking that surely they were the exception to all his anti-immigrant rhetoric, all the while refusing to listen to those of us who said they’d be lumped in together regardless.

People’s inability to share another person’s perspective has absolutely shredded our social fabric.

Scantily-clad people? On my internet?

Such a preposterous proposition!

I have had a in-depth conversation with something who believed that Shrek was the incarnation of God

I would love to hear their reasoning. That is fascinating.

If we’re going to rename it anyway, can we pick someone better to honor? Hernán Cortés was a narcissistic conquistador who destroyed the Aztec empire.

Fishing, a hobby reliant on both skill and luck, where practioners must be patient for long periods of time…

Yeah, I just don’t see Trump doing that. Even if somehow he were roped into a fishing event, he’d probably make someone else hold his fishing rod and do all the work. He’d still take credit if that person made an impressive catch, of course. But if they didn’t catch the absolute Biggliest fish? He could simply deny having taken part in the activity.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder how many Trump voters would change their mind if Trump joined regular, working class people for a day of fishing. No, seriously. Although I don’t fish, my dad’s an outgoing fisherman, who chats up everyone with a rod out at the lake. I can imagine lots of fishers being excited to have Trump around - at first. But his boasting, his impatience, and his loud voice scaring fish could become very grating very fast. He’d probably have no idea how to hold a flopping fish, a skill that most fishers figure out while still kids, sometimes through the peer pressure of laughter… Which makes it easy to imagine Trump’s illusion of “strong masculinity” shattering the moment a slimy fish tail flails across his orange face (go ahead - take a moment to picture it. You deserve a treat.) People would laugh, Trump would feel his ego bruise, and he’d react the way we all know he would - like a toddler.

Yeah, some voters would walk away with their opinions unchanged, but it would be very eye-opening for many.
