Additionally though, why the fuck is such banal, meaningless nonsense "news" now? So Joe Biden has a dog, that's cool, he's right there with most of the American population. Why is it news? How is it relevant to anything else that's going on? It reminds me of those "feel good" stories they'll throw into the ten o'clock news after an entire cycle of doom and gloom. "Four people got shot, somebody died in a fire, somebody stole this kid's wheelchair, oh and by the way meet the blind squirrel that can waterski!"
it's a taste of things to come if biden wins. can't criticize the new savior of the nation (a white cishet no less) and his kween, and maybe for the first time in 5 years trump doesn't say anything to make a fool of himself (besides the election being rigged, but that's already yesterday's "news" they try to memory hole). so they scramble to post anything to fill that 24/7 newscycle.
part of me hopes trumps listens to his people to maybe stay of twitter for a bit and shift it to the effect on democracy, not "BUT I WON", it's really not about that much about him at the moment.
and maybe, him going quiet(er) will also have his own effect. boisterous trump suddenly going silent? when shit suddenly gets quiet it should give some people pause.
