Delphine Luneau

Oh indeed, it can't be defended in any way

my computer is in the middle of an update and the lights just flickered 😬

i cannot believe we are into year 2 of the groyper regime, the camps are open and the state is revoking id's, and we are still getting "oppressed minorities are kinda rude on the internet :/" hand-wringing

yeah we're a little tense right now, believe it or not. fucking shut the fuck up about it

agree with you 100% on this and have been banging this drum too

a lot of the same people who threw out the long-established playbook for avoiding pandemics in 2020

him, Hugh Laurie, Simon Pegg, Cush Jumbo, Michelle Gomez … so many people I'd previously respected

used to love him, but he took Harry Potter money just last year so

this also speaks to why the conversation around trans athletes in sports has been so unrelentingly toxic — because almost all conversations around sports are unrelentingly toxic

when you add bigotry on top of that, it really becomes an especailly vile and poisonous discourse

I was a sports writer, I ran fantasy leagues, I hosted parties for big events, and now I consume basically none of it

I'll go to a game in person with friends, that's it. That's the only way to avoid the deeply dysfunctional ecosystem that has grown up around sports

I like he how drops this piece of excrement on his bluesky channel and then disappears without further comment while he's ripped to shreds in the replies

That's gotta be fake right? No human would deliberately look like that, right? Allow themselves to be photographed??

not with his attitude

my fulltime job is being delphine, everything else is a side hustle

tiktok, youtube, etc., are videoactive, it's like being radioactive but worse

I don't really want to be stealth myself, but it would be nice to have the option if things get even worse in this country

I was on mastodon for years and ultimately deleted because I saw too many of my non-white friends being chased off the platform by racist abuse. Being on a good, well moderated mastodon server is not sufficient protection, sadly

another interesting variation is how cops see us in 2 categories: criminals they've caught, and criminals they haven't caught *yet*

hey there, much love from a fellow traumatized girlie. Thinking of you 💜

but what if someone on the scene needs to be arrested for resisting arrest? that's only possible if a cop is present

idk but he's up 27.81%

I may be a failure in some areas of life and a success in others, but I used to be extremely mediocre at everything, so to me this is an improvement

even my failures accomplish more than bland mediocrity ever did

loved her in The Preacher's Wife but Janet was my favorite singer of that era!

they say it was the most cooked that delphine had ever been, that there was no hope for her, no coming back after this, close the account, erase all records

omg checkmated completely, i can never post again

worked very briefly at the Island Packet ~20 years ago, and even then they weren't paragons of journalistic quality. And that was in a much healthier news ecosystem so I can't imagine they've gotten better

I did get to run a lot of P&C stories for my readers tho through the in-state news exchange

do you know how many a billion people is? No, you don't, your slightly clever ape brain isn't built to comprehend numbers that big. And there are 4 billion of us, that's 4 of "I can't even begin put my arms around that number"

and yet we have like 5-10% of the power globally

there are 4 billion women on this planet and I actually think we should have a HELL of a lot more say in how things are run

oh yeah, name your favorite 4 billion women?

hurriedly pre-scheduling posts for the next 364 days so that no one catches on that I'm an International Woman and I actually only exist one day a year

all the hot girls are doing it
