Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 17 March 2024
As suggested at this thread to general "yeah sounds cool". Let's see if this goes anywhere.
Original inspiration:
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, there's no quota here

Or this segment, almost unknown in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_MPV
In fact, if more vehicles like this were available, it would be good both for Quiverful families and Earth-huggers! Alas the pickup truck will enable us to drive, one by one, to the Apocalypse.
of fucking course it's a Zvi post
