saving for referents
he looks like shit, but arguably worse, he looks like nothing. his clothes say nothing, speak to nothing, referents upon referents, because he has no style, has no conception of style, of who he is and how he presents himself

Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*

It's not age, it's transness. Schoenbaum made a trans movie that gave cis people emotions they couldn't quite understand and tried to process through cis referents that didn't quite fit. She disguised it well enough that it intrigued rather than disgusted them, which is an achievement.

Ah, 2025, when the words "the president has destroyed the East Wing of the White House" is a meaningful sentence with clear referents and not, like, something scribbled in a bad novel.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

This is also part of an ongoing and—I believe—quite deliberate strategy of uprooting and unmooring *language* from its normative semantic referents. Words are turned into tokens in the language game that is public discourse, and playing and winning that game authorizes policy.

When I talk about social media discourse absolutely air-frying peoples' understanding of politics, this is what I mean. Real politics, real terms with real referents, become these floating signifiers that just nebulously mean "bad thing I don't like."

Reading lately about the hyperfeminization of female animal characters excused as sexual dimorphism and I would like to thank Tigress and Dory for existing and not follow that tiring decision.
They were the few female referents I had.
