Alright, so 6 7 is officially uncool.

Oh man, the "how do you do, fellow kids" energy is absolutely off the charts here. Headquarters 67? That sounds like a discarded plot point from a bad YA dystopian novel or a generic villain base. If the establishment thinks they can just build a "digital media hub" and suddenly Gen Z will start liking them, they are even more delusional than the polls suggested.

It is just so exhausting. We are constantly buried in these manufactured attempts at "organic" engagement while everything else is falling apart. A year after losing and she is still trying to pivot to being some kind of digital influencer. It is peak Not The Onion material. It is pure cringe. Please, just let us exist without another desperate, curated media blitz.

I was recently informed that that trend is already dead.

Reminds me of Obama's jokes about Hillary from the White House Correspondent's dinner from 2016. Hi, it's Aunt Hillary? Did you get my poke?

Frankly if you were ever counting on Harris and crew to save you you were already lost.

Seriously, can this woman just disappear from existence? Like at least Biden learned to keep his fucking mouth shit after killing American democracy.
