A ton of quote posts on that terrific headline so I checked a few dozen of them. Do you think that it is most people's Bluesky experience to quote tweet interesting stories with no interaction? Hopefully not, but there sure seems to be a lot of it.

Can we stop using “slammed” in this context? I saw a headline earlier that said Trump admin slams ABC for return of Jimmy Kimmel” but in reality it was a ranting whining threat from an addled dying madman. Tired of this framing.

That could have been an interesting observation if she'd been reflecting on why people hate nepo babies like herself and Violet. But she seems to think that getting paid to be John McCain's daughter is some kind of merit-based accomplishment.

Apparently, the only way to nepo is to drop your famous parent's name loudly and often. That way, no one will ever forget for even a second that you're their talentless child who would have never had any type of career otherwise.

she might be the biggest, most useless nepo baby in history (Jaden Smith might contend). No one on either side gives a fuck what she says yet here we are.
