Credit where credit's due, that "King Kong" bit is the funniest thing John's ever written :lol: I just can't get the image out of my head of some rabid midget trying to climb up John's goliath legs... and passing out from the altitude before reaching the knees :lol:

Which leads me to believe that part of it is true, the King Kong diss is just too creative. The running, someone confusing him for a woman, chasing him for blocks, BPM gizmos and the rape aspect reeks of the old Wu-magination. Some black dude shouting that John's so tall King Kong would try to climb him seems plausible though.

Perhaps during one of those attempts to seduce a guy in a bar (you know, those times when Brianna claimed to have committed rape), John was rebuffed with a slurred, "Fuck off, King Kong."

And so the legend was born.
 
The comments on the Globe article are gold. There are like 3 positive ones, and a bunch of people pointing out that "Southie loves politicians who go door knocking in their Porsches." The words "kook" "moron" and "dingbat" are thrown around several times, and it's mentioned that she's a troon once. One guy even says he lives in the district, and wishes Flu would knock on his door so he could have some cheap entertainment.

While I would not call this article overtly critical of Flu, it does illustrate that she's incompetent, that her scampaign is mostly a joke, and the comments section backs up the theory that that's how people in MA-8 see her. Well done Flu, nearly two years since you "declared your candidacy" and all you've accomplished is to make normal people who were previously unaware of you think you're a spastic idiot.

This is such a strange article. It jumps through the usual hoops of blah blah muh soggy knees, muh vidya blah blah but I definitely do not feel that it casts John in a positive light.

Annoyingly, it also reports this false "fact."

From the OP, here's John towering over Janet Reno.

Guess who was actually 6'2"?

Janet Reno.

John has a couple inches on Reno, and while he's had a couple inches surgically removed, it wasn't from his height.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

I love how he says “this cycle” implying he’s running again in 2020 because he will lose. He’s burned through progressives, no one will work on his campaign again.

Remember, John managed to burn through the nearly infinite patience of anti-Gamergaters, some of the most credulous and spiteful idiots ever to sleep with the Devil for any conceivable advantage, with his utterly abhorrent, shitty behavior in a period of mere months. Political establishments have a longer memory and they'll still exist next time John wants to play act at running for office.

Reading between the lines, I have a sense that the journo is talking more about a growing trend in slacktivism and is using Wu as the crowning example, rather than specifically passing judgement on Wu herself.
Thanks to social media, where anyone can get an army of sycophants praising them, there's an increasing number of people who believe their own hype and jump into politics without the slightest idea of what the hell they're doing. They believe they're going to revolutionise the system and bring in fresh ideas, but eventually run into brick walls because a) most of their followers do not live in their district, b) spouting woke nonsense on Twitter is not a campaign platform, and c) they run out of money or grow bored.

I doubt this is what the journo was sent to do. I don't know who it is, but my wild guess is they sent her out to do a story on some fringe candidate, and it wasn't supposed to be a hit piece, but they didn't end up with anything flattering. Also, maybe John acted like such a complete dick that they decided not even to bother trying to make him look good.

I also bet John actually picked those idiotic poses where he looks completely autistic.

That's possible, but professional newspaper photographers deal with people who want to pose stupidly all the time. Their job is to bring back images that don't make the subject look like a fool, and they do that job unless the subject pisses them off past the point of fuck-this-moron -- something that John is capable of doing without even trying. Some of those shots are so awful that the photographer has to be complicit.

The best part is how specific the other candidate is; she's not just the first transgender congressional candidate. Not just the first one in MA. She's the first openly transgender candidate in MA. So specific it's like she was subtly pointing out someone else...

Althea Garrison was elected to the state legislature as a Republican in the '90s, then outed. I think she ran for Congress a few times. That's probably what she's referring to.
 
Ha ha, let's all laugh at this self-important ideologically obsessed homosexual who is still desperately clinging on to the barest scraps of ill-deserved fame that he somehow manage to accrue during a mercifully short-lived stint of embarrassment in the public eye! Oh looks like you also posted something about Milo Yiannpolis, John, that's cool.

Even worse, they'd sleep with Zoe Quinn.

I can feel the smugness oozing off John from here. Clearly Milo should have found himself a rich crazy Asian ATM to marry.

Not everyone can score an Asian daddy that would pay for your incompetence for a decade.
 
Maybe I'm late but wu always says her cars are "classic" like I used to go to classic car shows with my grandfather and the requirement was they had to be at least 25 years old and even then it had to look like something of a collector car. I used to have a 1990 Pontiac 6000. Does that count? No cause it was a stupid everyday car and it's not even really old enough. A 2000 porshe? Not a classic car, more like a money pit. And he loves it cause it's not technical and just "you and a manual gearbox" I've driven standard all my life who gives a fuck. If he's so distracted by the radio then God help anyone who drives around him. I hope he hits another pole instead of some innocent people

It's also a story about an upstart who thought they could change the system with bleeding-edge Web 3.0 technology when, incredulous as it sounds, Web 0.0 technology (read: talking to people) has stuck around for a reason.

Yeah. I didn’t really get the whole thing about the electronics. A 2000 era car is still pretty packed full of electronics, and sensors. Maybe it doesn’t have a flashy infotainment system, but I t’s an 18 year old car that likely needs to be connected to a diagnostics computer to fix anything. It’s not like he has some 1960’s air-cooled Porsche That he can pull over and adjust the carborator by ear to tune the engine.
