STOP comparing Orange Order hate marches to pride parades!
It’s insulting to the worldwide queer community and to the queer people of Ireland as a whole.
Those marches are the symbol of an unjust status quo, pride parades are an act of defiance against said status quo!
They are not remotely the same!
So STOP saying they are!
I don’t care if it’s a joke or “just a bit of “banter””.
It’s insulting!
Update: 1st of July and now they’re already at it once more.
Like FUCKING CLOCKWORK!!!!
Fucking hell!
Feel free to reblog if you agree.

I’m just personally so sick of hearing the tired ass “peeta represents peace” and “gale represents violence” therefore the ending = good 🙄 the way gale was demonized for being rightfully angry about his tyrannical government, because apparently being a 'good' revolutionary means being reluctant. But actually dedicating your life trying to dismantle the oppressive structures that they live by? Oop noo that's too radical…too extremist. and you're suddenly just as bad as the oppressors! LIKE STFU! thas some moderate liberal bs. Have you ever talked about this before?
And it doesn’t help that Peeta was on the richer side of district 12 and was the pure golden blonde boy who hated violence uwu. I liked many things about THG but that will forever be a huge issue I had with it and it ultimately reminds me that the writer was white.
Have you ever talked about this before?
To be honest, I don't talk about THG much because it's widely held as this paragon of anti-oppression fiction, which I do not believe is the case and people are SUPER passionate about these books and I read them once years ago and never returned to them so unless expressly asked about them in relation to the triangle specifically where I talk about how I prefer the nuance of the triangle and of Katniss as a character in the books over the movies and how the movies did a disservice to that aspect of the books, I don't say anything.
and you're suddenly just as bad as the oppressors! LIKE STFU!
But this is exactly the problem with the books. Like I can't say they didn't hold my attention at the time and when the movies came out because I found them so bad, I was very much in a 'the books are better' mindset but then later, especially when I would see people gush about the brilliant messaging of the books and of how brilliant Suzanne Collins is and my reaction to that would be this automatic no they're not and no she's not, I thought about the reason why that was my reaction and why I'm not fandom or even really consider myself a fan of the books. And it's because Collins makes the revolutionaries the problem and ultimately paints a broad stroke of 'all war is bad' and equates the methods the oppressed use to fight against their oppressors with the violence the oppressor enacts against the oppressed -- which is a message that is prevalent in fiction, like ATLA does the same thing, it's even in things like the second season of The Wilds -- and more than that being lazy, it's the type of false equivalence used to keep oppressive governments/systems/people in power and remain oppressive. In terms of its politics, it's not a revolutionary series at all.

Jared stans like bringing up Jensen's comment that one time about how Dean would have "wasted away in the back of a pool hall." It hurt immensely hearing Jensen say that and I wasn't happy. But Jared stans think this is some kind of gotcha?? Instead of them caring even for a moment how Jared's repeated disrespect and diminishing of Dean might come across, they go neener, Jensen said this.
Jensen played Dean for 15 seasons. This is not the same thing whatsoever, false equivalency. Also, when everyone around Jensen was cutting him out on decisions on Dean's fate, including his best friend and acting partner of 15 seasons, who didn't back Jensen up in his objections to the rebar death, and then once the show ended, proceeded to repeatedly say diminishing things about Dean. When EP's and the finale story itself wound up telegraphing Dean can't have anything else, this is it, he was always going to die bloody and too young, when even the creator of the show said Dean has to die if he stops hunting, when Jared repeated the show's company line over and over and then triples down a few years later, so it's what he thinks too, it's no wonder Jensen internalized it.
It's awful, it's triggering, it's miserable messaging, and Jared stans you have yeed your last haw trying to shove this down Dean fans' throats trying to force us to say oh it's fine, no disrespect here, no bad messaging here.
Jensen had to work to rationalize it and make sense of it and sort it out and I think Jensen when he made that comment was trying not to stir up conflict and whatnot, meanwhile the man was making plans.
This got so bad Jensen wound up saying something that hurt his own fans.
No it is not the same thing. Any Jared stans trying to pretend it is can STFU right now.

Imagine not comprehending either side, weaponizing children to pursue your own agenda and using your office to break the law. Who is confused?
Take Bernie sanders, Naomi klein
Is it too hard for you to read a book or a journal article? Do you surround yourself with idiots deliberately. Can you explain to me your views on Palestine, BLM, and bankrupting the American people? Can you explain the MATH to me? Explicitly, specifically with details. Could you explain your behavior and neglect every other minority? Just like ndp cannot explain their anti nuclear stance or what they would do with the current power energy generation. Learn to STFU and know when your out of your depth. Your voice is unwanted.
Tumblr media
Confused? I fucking loathe incompetence. It irritates me to no fucking end.
Grow up, stupidity must be an intellectual disability like autism, fucking morons
Tumblr media
Bernie sanders should have retired years ago,
Acolytes that pay homage to a god that never existed. Imagine having an original idea.
What do young woc say when they do this to other women of color? I'm old? Conservative? Contrarian? Libertarian?
What is your self justification I wonder?
Start singing black and yellow? Run small children off the road? Spit at them?
Since we're all willing to put our honest shit out there without hiding like grown women.
Spit it the fuck out.
Power is far too tempting????
Your opinion is utterly useless to me. It has been for a decade. Now tell me about how you want the world to go vegan and it helps keep you slim while you grow your own food and use power for social media.
You act like children that have no free will. I'm not your fucking mother.
Politicians are such pathetic small stupid people.
5 lies, no truth. Just incompetence.
I don't think the Hilary Clinton's, Michelle Obama's Marjorie Taylor Greens,...are better
But particularly annoying are the fucking Democrats who weaponize everything and turn on a dime when challenged at any level. Show up for no one, certainly not women.
You really have no fucking clue what you're doing or how to be strategic circa 2019.
Oregon is a progressive shithole that's suffering because of idiotic policies of their own making. That doesn't mean the KKK roots there aren't just as awful. Both are useless and unproductive.
You are using this moment for your own agenda to the neglect of real issues and reality.
Single payer healthcare to the tune of 4 trillion? Well played. Weren't you assholes blowing modi for diamonds just a year or two ago? Man you connect the dots...... I'm in awe. You might as well be selling donkey flights on private jets with inflatable mattresses.
Does the green new deal consist of bankruptcy and ceding every research vector? Wow, genius.
What are you going to do, call me out for my misinformation without passing high school science? And then use my ideas? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit Chandra how many opportunitistic cunts pretending to be feminists can you meet in one lifetime? Freud would have a field day.
Do your fucking jobs
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PS we've never met. I'd NEVER let you fucking near anyone I cared about.
I won't be reading the updated version on Capital from Thomas Picketty either, although the French do have a sensible nuclear policy

If someone cant do something, they cant do it. Doesnt matter how inconvenient or gross it is to other people. Some people are just not compatible to live with each other ! Some people need help going about their day and since clearly you dont frankly stfu lol. Thats great that you have enough spoons or got into the habit at a young age to do what you probably consider "basic heigene" but wowie believe it or not there are people who are different from you.
If people, for example, could not accept your ADHD which causes you to inturrupt randomly, thats perfectly fine! They dont get to change you however, they need to go be with people they actually like being around, and you stay with people who are willing to understand and accomodate you. If you cant stand living with someone who struggles with cleaning themselves or their space, you dont have to! They dont have to feel guilty for not dedicating what little spoons they have to monitoring other peoples comfort with them. Its okay to dislike people, its not okay to expect or shame people into changing things about themselves they cannot change or dont want to change just because you dont like it!
You are drawing false equivalency between a person using disability as an excuse to harm other people, and a person whos disability is "gross" or "annoying" to other people. You are not harming someone by forgetting to clean something, they are not disrespecting you just because you havent unlearned that being forgetful=being lazy and disrespectful. You are also not harming someone by interrupting them accidentally, they just get hurt because theyve been taught similarily that interruption=disrespect and rejection.
People have no obligations to hang out with people they dont like or who trigger them. Disabled people have no obligation to taylor their existence to your specific needs or desires.
*i am aware that living situations often make changing or hiding your disability necessary, but that obviously does not mean everyone can or should do that
Yo is anyone gonna talk about the conditional acceptance of disabled people. Like the fact that its understandable to miss homework deadlines or have laundry pile up due to ADHD but its completely insane to think someone might forget to brush or flush a toilet or whatever other gross thing you can think of? Its not just a funny quirk its a disability. Same with autism, like there are fully people who need help using the bathroom due to autism. Stop fucking acting like someone being gross is a moral crisis. Stop fucking expecting all disabled people to fit your expectations. Stop acting like adhd and autism are just as trivial a trait as an astrological sign. Saw a post making fun of someone with adhd on tiktok who was honest about the fact they forget to flush sometimes and there were all kinds of ppl saying "i have adhd but i always flush they need to stop being gross". People wit low support needs get off ur fucking high horse yesterday pls.

[Where My Twin Watches]: Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 28
Last time: We had a “Surprise, you’re shipping my son and my great-granddaughter” scare, unresolved Season 2 issues gave way to a recap episode, and Beard argued with himself. Onwards!
Straight into the Crush Flower/Spare Flower intro this time (still can’t get over young!Armstrong crying GUH), let’s hurry up and get some answers! A fanged skull being used as a candle-holder? Obviously the laboratory of a reputable scientist! So yeah, Gluttony’s just shown Al into Father’s lab (who isn’t in his chair for once, did he actually go fishing?), Al and Shao are just a little freaked out at the interior decoration. Gluttony doesn’t give them time to settle down though, calls out for Father- What. Oh my goodness. Father is Papa Elric? Who would have ever guessed. What a shock.
Tumblr media
Episode 28 - “Father” So! Awkward family reunion time! I’m sure that Al has lots of questions. But surprisingly, Father isn’t that happy that Gluttony just opened the door for a Protagonist, Gluttony’s in a heck of a lot of pain. Father targeting his Stone, somehow? A deadman’s switch if any Goths went against him directly? Oh! Jeez, I’d almost forgotten about how Ed, Ling, and Envy were forcing their way out of a Leto-forsaken pocket dimension. Jailbreak! Al’s a little concerned to see a titanic monster burst out of Gluttony, but is distracted by seeing his brother and the freeloading prince alive. Easy with the hugs, Al! After the brothers get their “OML I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE NOT DEAD” out of the way, time to talk with pops. Who… notes their metal limbs/body, and asks if they’re the Elric Brothers? Hold on, what? He doesn’t recognize his own kids? But he saw Ed in Resembool just a while ago, how- Oh. OH! D’oh, it’s so obvious. Dude’s made artificial humans with fragments of his own personality, is that kind of guy really going to do drudge work when he can pass it on to others? And someone who makes “superior beings” out of himself is too vain to just hire common workers, oh no. Why stop at making only seven Goths, when you can make a couple more to keep the place clean? Yup, Uncle asks if they mean von Hohenheim, is surprised (and pleased?) to learn that the guy has children. More confused as to why they call themselves the Elrics, learning that it’s their mother’s name just has him ask where Hohenheim’s been if not with his kids. See, Beard/Father? Even your clones think that you’re being a jerk. Ouch, Ed’s still a bit beat up from the escape (so wait, are Envy, Gluttony, and Ling just hanging out by the wall while this is going on), and Al’s missing his hand. Didn’t Ed bring that back? Let’s go ahead and- uh. Um. Uncle just Transmuted Al’s hand back, and fixed Ed’s arm. And then Ed’s broken ribs as well. Without any Transmutation Circles, no movement, and without drawing on any pre-existing materials. [Ed/Al]: “There isn’t any Equivalent Exchange!” EEC: 10 And with that, Uncle goes from “quirky household help” to “terrifyingly powerful Goth”. Ling points out that he’s obviously not human- [Uncle]: “I would ask who you are, but I honestly don’t care.”
Tumblr media
While Ling stands shocked at the utter disrespect, Uncle just walks away and says Gluttony can eat him. Whoa dude, hold on. Maybe the Elrics can argue that if Uncle wants them to be well, he should spare their friend? Nope, Uncle DNGAF about an insect such as What’s-his-name. Ed? Ed buddy, I know that you’re the hotheaded Anime Protagonist, but maybe this is the time for a strategic retreat? Maybe you shouldn’t attack the dude who can do freeform Transmutation, and who has two Goths waiting just off to the side? Or you could Earthbend at him, whatever. Guys? Guys, please think about what you’re doing. Uncle here is a minion of Father, and he’s powerful enough Transmute without EC. You’re facing the Big Bad’s Dragon here, and the show’s barely halfway through. You need to get out of there, now. Envy’s attacking the kids now, and they’re all but ignoring the Titan!Goth to try and hit Uncle, who at most raises a hand to block Al’s attack, then sends Ling flying. This is not a fight you can win, and I can tell Uncle’s patience is running out. He takes one step forward… Uncle takes a single step, and the sheer force of his power radiates through the room, to Scar and May where they face the chimeras, and even out to Beard himself as he apparently is still on his fishing trip. Point is, dude’s strong. Ed and Al snap out of their shock, strike the ground… ok, good, they’ve finally realised they’re outmatched and are surrendering. Or… not? [Ed/Al]: “What’s going on? I can’t Transmute!”
Tumblr media
Oooooh Leto. That’s not good. Not only is Uncle ludicrously strong, but they can make an anti-Alchemy field? And one that’s selective, too; Ed and Al have been depowered, but Envy can still smash them into the ground. Envy mocks them as lower life forms, blathering about how humans don’t even understand their own power. (Oooh, sudden thought. If that implies that Alchemy comes from Truth, and we can assume that the Elrics are gonna defeat Truth to get Al’s soul back, is that going to disrupt Alchemy as a whole? Is Amestris going to have to reorganize around not having magic?). Uncle tells Envy to shut up, then says that Ling may be useful after all. Holy crud, the intro was right. That was Ling standing with the Goths? Hoo boy, Lan Fan is not going to be happy when she hears about this. Envy’s expositing that Uncle’s got the Stone in his bloodstream, and can spread it to others to create Human Homunculi. All Ed and Al can do is pound hopelessly at the ground, crying about how they’ve lost their powers and can’t do anything. But wait! Ed has the pistol! But before Ed can/has to use the gun, Ling yells at him to stay out of it. [Ling]: “I came to your land to find a Philosopher’s Stone, and now this guy wants to give me one! I’m not gonna turn this down!” Come on, Ling! You’re going to go through what Bradley did, stay strong! Battle of the mind again, Ling’s floating in a sea of tortured red souls, when ok here’s Father’s Sin. You… you can do it Ling? Ok, ok good! Don’t fight the Sin (assuming Greed, not Lust), but work with it, be unconventional! [Ling]: “I said come! I freely accept you!” [Greed]: “Y’know, people normally reject me.” But Ling is anything but normal. Future Emperor of Xing here (disregarding the whole “making the guy whose job I want immortal” thing, but whatever). Greed at least is amused by Ling’s ambition. And yeah, as much as I applauded the first Greed for acting so Slytherin (views subordinates as possessions, angry that someone would steal from him by harming them), if Ling does end up going Goth then there’s no better way than a quest for power, to provide for his people.
Tumblr media
Ling goes into the light… And Greed wakes up. Damnit. So yeah. Ling’s gone, replaced by the new Greed. Ed and Al frantically plead for Ling to remember, to answer them, but no dice. Greed just stands there and smirks at them. Door? Someone else coming to the party? Oh hey, Scar and May! About time you showed up! Ok, ok, let’s get the important stuff out of the way; Shao reunited with May? Check! Scar finally realizing that the Elrics aren’t working with the Goths? Check! May finally seeing Ed, and all her romantic dreams being shattered in a tragic and hilarious fashion? Check! Gluttony points out the Ishvalan, and Uncle lets him loose. Crap, and they don’t have their Alchemy, Scar’s Hand O’ Doom won’t- work?! And May, too? All right, the effect’s worn off! Or not, the Elrics are still depowered. Well, when punching won’t work, try talking. And what better thing to say that tell Scar that the one responsible for the destruction of his people is standing right in front of him? Scar… does not take this revelation calmly. Like, May’s backing away from the fury of Yoki’s servant. And Uncle’s going to have a bit of a mess to clean up after all this is over. Uncle orders Greed to eliminate the outsiders, Ed tries to run interference and talk Ling back into control, and May’s fleeing from Gluttony. Uncle’s in his Investigative mode, ports right behind Scar to ask how he’s still using his Alchemy. Scar goes for the Hand O’ Doom, and Uncle just stands there, and calmly works through the technique. Scar’s freaked. And almost killed, Leto! May pauses for one second at seeing Scar hurt, and gets struck by Gluttony for her concern. Thankfully Al comes in for the save and gets the protesting May outside. Where there are chimera waiting, great. Ok, Scar’s there now but injured, the chimera are still massed, and both Gluttony and Envy are heading directly for them. Al tells Scar to take May and run, since he’s the one who at least will survive facing them. But Scar refuses and grabs his helmet, throws it to make a spark. Big boom! The smoke clears as Al grabs his helmet, only to get grabbed by Envy in turn. Looks like Scar and May escaped in the cover, so Gluttony’s ordered to sniff them down. Thankfully all of Scar’s HOD’s at least disrupted Gluttony’s regeneration ability so he can’t do much more than lay there and smoke. And OH MY LETO I just realized where the Ishvalan and Xings went to. Hopefully it goes better for them than it did for Martel. Greed’s fighting Ed, Ed’s still screaming for Ling to take back control. Knocks Greed down, challenges him about his country and Lan Fan- OH. That right there, Ling not blocking the punch and just glaring at Ed? Maybe it’s false hope, maybe I just don’t want Ling to go the way of Hughes, but I’m getting a message of “dude, stfu and stop trying to blow my cover” from that glare. Please please please let this be a ploy to enter the Goth circle as a spy.
Tumblr media
Greed captures Ed and Uncle orders him to be taken upstairs to Wrath. Accusing them of “treason” and throwing in jail, maybe? Ed’s calmed down now, whispers to Al what he’s discovered/hopes for: Ling is still alive. End credits! Hoooooo boy. Lots of stuff this episode, lots of setup. Looking forward to next week, let’s give Uncle a bit of time to tidy up before the Elrics wreck his stuff again.

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: COLUMN: New Year’s Resolutions for the Movie Industry for 2020
Tumblr media
(Image by Muharrem Aner for Getty via The Daily Beast)
Plenty of regular everyday people make New Year’s Resolutions, but I think bigger entities, namely movie makers and movie moguls, need to make them too.  Annually, including this ningth edition, I have fun taking the movie industry to task for things they need to change, even if I get to do it every week in a different ranting way on my “What We Learned This Week” column contribution for the Feelin’ Film Podcast website. Loyal readers and followers of that podcast and column will get my cadence.  I have no false internet courage to be a Twitter troll. As always, some resolutions come true while others get mentioned and reiterated every year. Enjoy this year’s hopes and dreams, as we enter a new decade!
#1: It’s all cinema.
Rant after rant, click after click, retweet after retweet, boy did ole Marty Scorsee start a fight when he looked down on Marvel films this past fall. It’s been a hand-wringing soapbox passing game since.  I don’t mean to sound regressive like #AllLivesMatter versus the true need of something like #BlackLivesMatter, but someone needs to tell Mr. Scorsese that it’s all cinema, from every cheesy and trashy film to every astute and austere film.  That’s from Cats to The Irishman and everything in between. They are made by creators aiming for storytelling, entertainment, and expression.  They just do so to different degrees and for different audiences.  So, respectfully, Marty, STFU. 
#2: Don’t stop supporting minority voices.
Led by Barry Jenkins, Spike Lee, Marielle Heller, Lynne Ramsey, and others, 2018 was a banner year for diverse talent creating movies. 2019 felt like a slight exhaling lull from 2018’s volume. Still, 2019 was an extraordinary year for female directors, led by Greta Gerwig, Lulu Wang, Olivia Wilde, Celine Sciamma, Jennifer Kent, Julia Hart, Catherine Hardwicke, Kasi Lemmons, Melina Matsoukas, Gurinder Chadha, Anna Boden, and Elizabeth Banks. Hollywood, keep these doors opening.  Don’t just do this for tokenism. The audiences are coming.
#3: Disney, slow down your own releases.
We get it, Disney. You dominate, but your movies are feeling less and less special when they are everywhere. And that includes Disney+. Like I said last year, I remember a time when there was only animated Disney film a year. It was huge, important, and it mattered. It’s hard to multiply care when there are a half-dozen or more between Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and their own house brand choices. I know that to their suits, they don’t care because Aladdin and The Lion King each made their billion dollar goals. Still, imagine the anticipation if there was scarcity. That billion turns to two billion. Make them better and make them matter.
#4: Speaking of streaming services, keep respecting Netflix.
This is a bit of a repeat from last year. Roma broke Netflix’s glass ceiling at the Oscars and the perceived bias and beef seems to be subsiding. The streaming service has four legitimate Oscar contenders this year in The Irishman, Marriage Story, The Two Popes, and Dolemite is My Name. Matching another resolution from last year, it appears Netflix, through coup-level business deals, is choosing quality AND quantity. That’s true clout and it’s earning them credibility. They continue to revitalize the mid-range budget market and give indies and documentaries wider and better chances to be seen that fighting for multiplex screens. I saw it all the time. Netflix is not killing the business. It’s just advancing it. Now they just need to work on a competitive price point to Disney+. They’re going to bleed casual subscribers if they keep costly double their newest and most formidable competitor.
#5: Please let Adam Sandler turn a new leaf.
For years, Adam Sandler was a regular appearance in these resolutions and then I gave up trying. Before Uncut Gems in 2019, I legitimately and truthfully had not watched an Adam Sandler movie in nine years.  I didn’t need Jack and Jill to give up on him and the repetitive manchild garbage he was making.  I had no regrets abstaining from his career.  Hot damn, though, did he supernova with Uncut Gems.  Please let this career resurgence be a true new trajectory and not a one time thing.  Don’t let him dangle a role of two like Eddie Murphy and go back to the low-hanging fruit garden.  He’s back and I want more.
#6: Adam Driver and Florence Pugh will be the stars of the 2020s.
Even with a big second half and huge 2019, I won’t call Adam Driver the star of this decade, but I have a good feeling he will be the star of the next one.  I’ll give this past decade to Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, and Christian Bale before Driver, but few actors have his crossover appeal and towering potential right now.  Need proof?  Pick anything from this year, but especially Marriage Story.  Watch him win the Oscar to kick off his 2020.  As they say, the sky (and for him, the galaxy), is the limit.  His white-hot female equivalent is Florence Pugh who carried a tremendous 2019 with Fighting With My Family, Midsommar, and Little Women. She is a dual Oscar contender for those latter two roles and has Black Widow to start 2020.  We see many ingenues come and go, but, like Driver, her range across genres is formidable and will keep her around and successful for a very long time. If you need one more name and talent to watching, keep an eye on Kelvin Harrison, Jr. from Luce and Waves.
#7: If you’re a celebrity, get off Twitter.
This is another returning and welcome resolution from last year. Twitter continues to be the cesspool of bad opinions, internet courage, and the worst of fandom. Stars don’t need to kiss those rings or embrace that toxicity just to get over. Do it with your work, not your access. Establish your reverence there and not in the mudpit.
#8: This next decade challenges ahead. Meet them creatively.
The 2010s brought a swell of nostalgia regurgitation like we’ve never seen with peaks and valleys across James Bond, Star Wars, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Jason Bourne, the MCU, the DCEU, Transformers, Pirates, Ghostbusters, Planet of the Apes, Rocky, Rambo, Despicable Me, Men in Black, The Terminator, Toy Story, Ocean’s 8, and every possible Disney re-imagining.  Try as the greedy studios may, surely the noise of all that cannot continue another decade.  Creative bankruptcy has a limit and it’s going to run out and crash hard.  The 2020s have the challenge of creating new properties and experiences because the old stuff won’t last forever.  With the close of a Star Wars saga and a massive MCU phase to finish 2019, we stand at the edge wondering what’s next and what can top what’s been done.  It can’t all be new Avatar movies.  Your decade, your move, Hollywood.  Give us something good.  In the meantime, we’ll be on the couching binging your streaming services.

Looks like CNN's Jim Acosta is going to do the drama queen thing another year
New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/looks-like-cnns-jim-acosta-is-going-to-do-the-drama-queen-thing-another-year/
Looks like CNN's Jim Acosta is going to do the drama queen thing another year
CNN and the Trump administration got off to a bad start last year when CNN’s White House correspondent soon learned that CNN wasn’t guaranteed to be called on at each press conference. Not long after, some of the front-row kids found they’d been literally moved to the back row when seating arrangements were revealed for a joint press conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis. CNN’s Jim Acosta called it “the equivalent of Siberia” and suggested it was retaliation for the network’s coverage. And then there were those off-camera press conferences — so Acosta took photos of his socks and posted those instead.
It looks like 2018 will bring plenty more anecdotes to the table as Acosta again takes on Sarah Huckabee Sanders, whom he tagged in a post-briefing tweet Wednesday afternoon.
Sad that @PressSec is starting New Year like much of last year… afraid to take questions from CNN
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) January 3, 2018
If Acosta were looking for a sympathetic audience, he probably shouldn’t have chosen Twitter.
Aw … Jim's feelings are hurt. https://t.co/P8fBv9ymBS

Yes, Jim. It's all about you. Everyone fears you. https://t.co/YipnSswNwc

Maybe if you'd stop acting like a petulant child she'd call on you. Just a thought, @Acosta. https://t.co/TEFSzuk9xL

She's the press secretary, not a daycare worker. No one gets paid enough to explain things to this guy! https://t.co/e9ahomXqSF
— Kelsey (@kelscope) January 4, 2018
Jim no one is afraid of you, but many are sick of your false reporting, articles with made up sources, loaded questions, and willful blindness to facts. Do the world a favor and STFU https://t.co/c1Vtfaxh8E
— matt granville (@slayenemy909) January 3, 2018

Imagine thinking you are so important that you have to get a question at WH press briefing. https://t.co/oFXRCy5voL
— Ross Johansen (@rossjohansen) January 3, 2018
