#WilliamHague is odd. At 16, he was an awkward right-winger at the #ConservativeParty conference. He was similarly gawky as a by-election winner in 1988 and by the time he retired as Tory leader aged 40, he was still often #cringetastic.
A decade later, Hague re-emerged as elder statesman-like Foreign Sec to young #DavidCameron. He had been reborn as a perma-60yo establishment stereotype.
Sadly, #CamillaTominey's interview sheds no light on who he really is.
Yer man #EdDavy of the UK's #FibDems has been cruelly hacked.
Bad chainsaw action, heavy #dadrock vibe, #cringetastic at number 11, all half a year after #KetamineBoy made that stuff briefly topical.
You tell it's fake, cos Ed isn't wearing a wetsuit.

But my favourite #Gaudete is this 1974 live recording by Steeleye Span, for
its pure 1974 English folk rock vibe, with far too much hair and clothes from a jumble sale: https://youtu.be/cEPmGq0Ii2o #cringetastic!

I'd earn 86% less if I were to stomach the #cringetastic #Microsoft TechStack instead of saving my mental health and going all-in on #Linux, #FLOSS & #Unix-esque systems!
#DahliaLithwick's latest article demanding we all stop criticizing #Biden because #Trump is worse was super #cringetastic. Really unworthy of a platform as large as #Slate.
I expect people writing for major news outlets to not engage in #TuQuoque #fallacy.
The fact that Trump is worse in some respects does not grant Biden immunity from criticism of his age, his evident doddering, his unquestioning support of #Zionist #apartheid and #genocide, or his record as a police state #authoritarian.
