    I’d bet anything that if the m&m went from sneakers to knee boots the conservatives would also be unhinged about carton sexual grooming. They are victimized by everything. Everything.

    Not the commercial but the change to a character

    The purple one, by the way, is thought to be a transgender M&M by conservative media…

    No apparent reason for that, it’s “female” and voiced by a female actor… and there has been no indication in the commercials of whether or not it has a secret penis… but, nevertheless…

    Just wait until the rumors that the purple one craps in a litter box start coming out…

    NY Times quoting Tucker.

    “The green M&M’s got her boots back but apparently is now a lesbian, maybe, and there is also a plus-sized, obese purple M&M,”

    I’m not a fan of grape flavoring so I won’t be eating the purple ones.

    I thought today's outrage would be Oscar nominations. Alas, no, it's power saving modes (embedded tweet) and Drum's commentary

    I'll confess that I didn't quite believe this at first. I mean, it's Twitter, right? People are always exaggerating.

    So I clicked on the video. Not only is the tweet correct, but Lis went easy on them. The Fox folks are literally outraged that Microsoft has added an auto-off setting to the Xbox, something that half the tech appliances in America have. My printer goes to sleep after an hour. My computer sleeps after 20 minutes. My phone sleeps after five minutes. This is a feature so common that my only surprise is that the Xbox didn't already have it.

    And apparently it's all part of a conspiracy that started with gas stoves, moved on to coffee, and now is infesting video games.

    Xbox has been ruined by woke liberal fanatics - Kevin Drum
