His abuse of language skeeves me. I will never again hear the word "beautiful" without shuddering. "Like never before seen" is frequently used for both self-aggrandizing AND self-pity! He is the very worst kind of used car salesman from the old days. Reading his words is a lot less painful than hearing his voice, though.

So many things Bonwit's won't let you do in their changing rooms any more because of Woke, it's sad, really.

I Woke this morning and I'm not afraid to admit it - I'm glad I Woke I don't care who knows!

I will never find it not hilarious that the same people who hate "woke" will nevertheless talk about people "waking up" or the "awakening". Apparently there's something about the "o" that enrages them.

Oh yeah. I don't listen to his moans and bloviations anymore, except for brief clips on Bluesky if I'm looking for context on something he's reported to have blurred. Transcripts are frustrating enough, but listening to a habitual liar tell lies is just sad.

On Mary Trump’s YouTube channel, she always distorts his voice because she can’t stand to hear it either.

Only 3 weeks in, but so far I've succeeded in not hearing his voice, even once, and I've even succeeded in not hearing imitations of his voice, because I cut out all the late-nite comedy shows.

He said some bullshit today.

Yesterday too!

"unbelievable" which literally means "don't believe this"

"incredible" which literally means "not credible."

I'd call these "tells", except what do they tell, that he's lying? He's ALWAYS lying.

Language matters!

A word cloud might be a fascinating (horrifying?) way to analyze his stunted, gaudy vocabulary.

I's like to send his word cloud to the Oort cloud.

The only way I can stand to hear Tubby’s voice is if Sarah Cooper is pantomiming it.
