hey, remember when Joe Biden was old?

for a while there, it was the biggest story in America. you couldn’t pick up a newspaper — or turn on your TV — without hearing about how Joe Biden is old. so old! ancient! how did this happen? how can someone be this old? how is he even still alive? so ollllld!!!

the press hounded Joe until he finally dropped out of the race. but here’s the thing: Joe Biden could have avoided all this controversy just by being A Very Special Boy, like Don is — because if you point out to any of the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media that Donny is old, too, you’re going to get an earful of well of course he is. so what? cut the guy some slack.

yesterday, the Daily Beast attempted to answer the question why is Donny holding so few hate-rallies? in the piece, we get none of the oh my god, how can anyone this old lead a country hyperventilation that we got during any of the Joe must go hysteria. all we get is a dry and uncritical recitation of here’s what a Trump Campaign spokesman told us — but the Beast did manage to end the piece with a gratuitous smack in the face to Harris and Walz.

in 2000, when Kamala was San Francisco’s assistant district attorney, Kimberly Gargoyle — of all people! — was looking for a job in the DA’s office and Kamala told her to fuck straight off. twenty four years later, the Times desperately wants this to be a scandal, and so they’ve dutifully typed up Gargoyle’s version of the story

Washington Post pushed a piece about Kanala failing as space czar. “space czar?” how in the name of Buck Rogers is this an actual campaign issue? the author of the piece, by the way, is a Trump Administration toady. so yeah, fair and balanced.

These are just from yesterday. The examples would crash this website if i put them all here.

This old study found that a good portion of women who played games online felt they had to conceal their gender to avoid harassment. is it true for you as well?

Online gaming is such a toxic place for women that 59 per cent of female gamers conceal their gender over harassment concerns, a new survey reveals.

The study, by marketing research group Reach3 and Lenovo, found that many gamers assume a non-gendered identity or even pretend to be male.

Around 900 women gamers in the US, China, and Germany were asked about their experiences, with the aim to better understand diversity and inclusion in gaming. “Despite still being mostly associated with men, gaming is on the rise with women,” said Leigh Admirand, Senior Vice President at Reach3 Insights. According to their data, in the US alone there were 28 million new players in 2020 compared to 2019, and 41 per cent of American gamers identify as women.

When talking about their experience, three quarters of women gamers said they have faced sexism and harassment, with many quitting or avoiding playing altogether. They reported being insulted, receiving unwanted sexual messages or patronising comments. In some cases, men left the game when they found out the players were women. These sexist behaviours result in “little to no repercussion” for the offenders. https://www.nadja.co/2021/05/24/most-women-hide-their-gender-when-gaming-to-avoid-harassment/
