Great Moments in Taxonomy

Cory Doctorow:

I'd been suspended for having a list to which I add trolls called "colossal assholes." [...] Weirder: "Colossal assholes" got me suspended, but not its companion list, "Toe-faced shitweasels". [...]

In response to Twitter's sensitivity about "colossal assholes" as a listname, I've renamed and expanded my lists.

  • Potent emetics
  • Tissue-thin bad faith
  • Foolish timewasters
  • Beneath contempt
  • Odious nonsense-spewers
  • Confederate gravy-eaters
  • Toe-faced stenchweasels
  • Hilariously inept lackwits
  • Probably bots
  • Thick as two short planks
  • Raving conspiracists
  • Sociopath climate deniers
  • Dim bulb centrists
  • Inept MAGA trolls
  • Red scare bedwetters
