Oh fuck it's real.

Now, for the first time in over a decade of marriage, I have to erase an image from my phone that I really don't want to have to potentially explain.

Now I'm conscious about my gummy smile 😩

You keep rocking your smile. I'm sure most people would rather share a beer with you than people who has to resort to bodyshaming.

Fuck man this is hilarious. I just want to share with everyone but I don't know anyone who would get it so instead I'm just gonna sit here chuckling to myself about it.

As much as its fun to make fun of evil people, doing so by using looks ultimately harms genuinely good folk that share physical traits

Michelle Obama has degrees from both Princeton and Harvard and the regressives spent 8 years squawking about nothing but how “manly” her arms looked.

Conservatism is a mental illness these people are grifting off of

I fucking despise racism. In no place on earth is it valid, required, or useful.

You can’t choose the colour or race you’re born, but once you’re born you can certainly choose not to be a worthless racist spouting off bullshit.

At no point in anyone’s life did they choose to be a certain colour of skin or ethnicity. At some point though they chose bigotry and hatred.

Charlie Kirk is a diversity hire because Turning Point USA needed someone with a tiny face and an otherwise normal head

I'm tired of them pretending we don't know what they mean with "DEI hires." I'm also tired of nobody in power calling this out.

DEI hire is basically just the socially acceptable combination of all derogatory racial terms rolled into one at this point.

A terminological “Swiss Army N-Word”.

There's always a new dog whistle n-word from these fucks. Thugs was a popular one for a while. The absolute disdain with which they used the word, and only for coloured people... Was so gross.

It's so obvious. They never said or will ever say that line ever about a white guy.

Best I can give him is that she got the job at least partially because she's a black woman. Putting a black woman in SCOTUS was a campaign promise. One made early enough that I doubt he had Jackson already in mind when he made it. She's presumably the most qualified black woman his admin could find, if not the most qualified candidate overall.

Not really a cosplayer. With cosplay you pretend to be something you’re not

Do you think Kirk actually believes any of the nonsense he spouts? He's just a dickhead shit-stirrer for money and it's baffling to me that he gets any attention at all.

DEI does exist in some places but the reason it exists in the first place is wild when you think about it.

"Hey it looks like we are 95% more likely to reject black people over white people and it's causing trouble.

with this stupid quota that wouldn't have to exist if we just didn't hire the scum of the earth for HR and recruiting positions, we offset that percentage to a whopping 60% so let's go team."

And then people go protest black people getting jobs while quota thing continues.

15

Yeah and there are better tactics but they're hard. I've heard of orchestras having auditioners be given a number, have to take off their shoes, and play from behind a curtain. It eliminates any risk of race or gender being involved in the decision. It's just hard to scale that to other stuff

I don't know how Twitter works, I've never used it. Does Charlie definitely see these responses? Or, does he likely have someone managing his social media accounts for him?

11

It doesn't really matter if he sees them, he already knows he is a disingenuous twat. The reality is his followers will see only the tweet as they scroll on by and this response will be somewhere under the fold mixed in with all the bots and simpletons circle jerking about how "true" this tweet is.

This is why these Twitter gotchas don't mean anything. Yelling into the void doesn't break into other people's media bubble it just tells the algorithms that this tweet is getting engagement and should be bumped up.

I'm a diversity hire. Everyone else in my department has degrees and the others on my team are geniuses in their fields. I'm just some dumb fuckhead who's always excited to learn something new and I'm passionate about supporting public education.

The uncomfortable truth is that you can be both qualified and a DEI hire. A lot of jobs are competitive and have multiple excellent candidates. 🤷‍♂️

For some hiring managers it is absolutely a bonus to add to the office diversity mix. You get a qualified candidate and you get to feel or look good for having a diverse team.

Of course for other hiring managers, the diversity candidate gets the short end of the stick because (insert excuse here) blah blah culture fit.

You reached the end
