P Diddy. He did an Apprentice type show and was overall pretty creepy. There were a handful of scenes that made me think his closet was stocked full of skeletons.
Amanda Palmer. I've always thought she was a narcissistic asshole who uses people like she's rearranging furniture. And that has turned out to be extremely true.
Myself.
Entitled middle aged women (Karens). I started ranting about them in 2007, I guess.
Twitter. Have hated it since it launched and stayed the fuck away from using it until I had a teacher who demanded I make a Twitter profile for a specific workshop. I still regret all these years later that I caved and did as she said. I should have just kept telling her no. Other than that, I have stayed away from that platform and when Felon Muskrat bought it I had no opinions on it because at the time I just saw him as a goofy edge lord and why wouldn't he want to buy the goofiest platform on the internet?
But well, at least he has made most of the rest of the world realize how terrible Twitter is as a social media platform. It always was and it always will be. Fuck that place. I genuinely hope he runs it into the ground completely and that it dies.
Too bad new alternatives have sprung up in the meantime.
I still think it is utterly embarrassing that politicians around the world use these types of crappy as fuck platforms to communicate with the public. I cannot take any of them seriously. It is pathetic and embarrassing.
