Wheesht 17: Alt-right, Alt-right, Glinner's Nearly Alt-Right (Deep Deep Down)

[dead-ced-dead]

Hopefully that remains true and isn't like one of JK Rowling's "senior moments" (I think that was the excuse her team used early on.

It explains his sock's Amnesiac avatar if nothing else.

I'm glad I chose to pay £0.00 for In Rainbows when it came out now (somewhat negated by the fact that I bought a vinyl copy for my girlfriend a few weeks ago).

The account doesn't belong to him, it's an old account of an associate so the avatar has nothing to do with him

Oh, did he keep the avatar from before? I don't want to be that person (not least because it's one of my favourites of theirs) but I thought that album might go over his head...

[Ex_GC]

The associate who's old account it is also has a Radiohead avatar on his active Twitter account so it's definitely nothing to do with GL

[buttgammon]

Fair enough!

[retsuza]

[Ex_GC]

There's just no hope for him at all is there. He's completely incapable of self-reflection

[boki]

New version of 'Song For Whoever' about to drop.

[Dr Rock]

Your wife and family.

This is genuinely how he thinks. He was never awful to anyone because all the nastiness, abuse, and harassment he does is against Legitimate Targets, so it doesn't count!

And very handily his enemies encompass a wide range, from those going out of their way to wind him up to people who just politely disagree with his monomania. Also just being transgender in general.

They're referring to people who largely criticised his infamous "Her" app stunt and he's been a snide cunt to on his blog ever since, primarily

Helen Lewis
Kathleen Stock
Katie Herzog
Jesse Singal (not a woman)

She's talking about Karen Davis and his calling her a 'divisive lunatic'. That's what she said in her reply anyway

But yes he also has been horrible to Helen Lewis and the others mentioned

Speaking of KD

Speaking of KD

*Pinches nasal bridge* - It sucks so much that these drama churning people add to a political discourse. Imagine being a trans(wo)man in the US, successful, happy family, accepted, etc. and hearing that a law passed that negatively impacts you because of twitter drama shitters like this amplifying hatred.

All Helen Lewis did was say the Her app was cruel (that's putting it mildly). He left a message on her phone that he hopes never comes back to bite him (his own words) and made loads of snide comments about her on his blog. He must have been a nightmare to live with. He is so utterly incapable of dealing with even the tiniest bit of criticism. Self-reflection is not something that enters his head ever

Jonny Greenwood has responded to say he didn't mean to like it:

https://twitter.com/jnnyg/status/1519214115268571136

He follows a few Terfy writers (and his wife is an antivax, antimask, pro-Israel nutjob), but I'm willing to give Greenwood the benefit of the doubt here.

He's not permanently online like Our Graham, so I can buy his argument that he follows a few writers that he likes. My wife is a big trans advocate, but because she isn't on here or Twitter I could probably ask her what she thinks about - I dunno - Hadley Freeman and she'd say something vaguely positive based on some Guardian columns from five years ago.

Though I do wish the likes of Jonny Greenwood, Neil Hannon etc would just come out and say something unambiguously pro-trans rather than just "I don't talk about things in public that I don't really know about." It's not hard. Field Music did it a few weeks ago: https://twitter.com/fieldmusicmusic/status/1512355444408434688?s=21&t=JvQym9zf8i4N_X-v0xCgSw

Fuck the bloke from Elbow though. I've been keeping an eye on his account for a while and his transphobic tweets usually disappear after a few hours. It looks like he's deleted his account completely now.

Another subscriber only post where he's asking his paying subscribers to gather stories. They're basically paying him and doing work for free. If GL has been at the front of this 'fight' I'm sure he already has a few stories at his disposal

What the fuck does Glinner actually do with his time?

What the fuck does Glinner actually do with his time?

White stains on his trousers... not from carbonara sauce.

Makes a Solo Mess.

What the fuck does Glinner actually do with his time?

He clearly doesn't enjoy it. Trapped in a hell of his own making.

Oh, that reminds me, must buy two dozen SIM cards.

[TommyTurnips]

What the fuck does Glinner actually do with his time?

Trawls through twitter for trans stuff.

[Better Midlands]

Those Elon Musk posts aren't gonna retweet themselves

[Ex_GC]

He is so incompetent. He's mixing up his Karens here. The Karen he called 'a divisive lunatic' and is being discussed here is Karen Davis, the Karen who called him out for the gender critical fiasco is Karen Actually. How is he so incompetent and always getting stuff wrong?

Glinner's Projection Of The Week:
"they're running on fumes. they have nothing...NOTHING going for them."

[phantom_power]

Alison Bailey is in hospital and the TERFs are picking out the minority of posters saying things like "good" to make sweeping generalisations about trans people and trans allies. I am sure there is a word for categorising a whole group of people as all the same based on perceived negative traits but it escapes me at the moment

I am sure Glinner will be along with his light-hearted kooky view on this in due course, if he hasn't already

[Better Midlands]

He just confirmed this as his account on the mess

[FalknerHinton]

Musk hasn't actually said very much about how his version of Twitter would be run, has he?

This idea that he's suddenly going to reinstate accounts is just some fever dream they've made up for themselves isn't it. Might be a bit premature on several fronts, not least because the sale hasn't actually gone through yet...

[frajer]

No matter who's in charge of Twitter, Linehan is far too unhinged and toxic for anyone to let him back on. Imagine going alt-right but being so incompetent and uncharismatic that even those pricks don't want you.
