- It’s a sad day in America when a Supreme Court order that doesn’t immediately strip rights away from women is a pleasant surprise.
- In the second largest defamation case in US history–after Alex Jones’s recent loss–Fox will pay Dominion $787 million to do two things: First, prevent its top personalities from testifying live and second, not having to admit on its airwaves that it lied.
- Soon, Mike Lindell’s $5 million loss is going to seem so quaint for him.
- Fox failures are hitting new lows weekly. First, the dud of Tucker’s January 6th tapes, then the text messages showing they knowingly lied to their audience, and then a former producer releasing damning tapes of interviews with Trump associates. And this on top of the tens of millions they have to pay out for sexual harassment settlements. There is an inherent problem at that network that goes beyond its ideology.
- Marge pals around with Ali Alexander, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Jason Boebert and Milo Yiannopoulos. She’s like a beard, except for predators.
- Bring back the Fairness Doctrine and expand FCC authority to cable networks and any media which you do not voluntarily subscribe to. Exclude things like podcasts and blogs: those are obvious opinion outlets which people seek out and should be governed by a different set of rules. But if your station is required to be in a cable/satellite provider’s package and you pay carriage fees for it whether you want it or not, it should be regulated as a consumer protection function.
- Conservatives will tell you, Hunter Biden working for a foreign energy company is bad for his father because something. But they will also tell you it’s perfectly legit for a Supreme Court justice to forget to report things like selling his family home or all of his spouse’s income. Y’know, information specifically asked for on those disclosure forms.
- Word on the street is that Party leaders are tiring of Marjorie Taylor’s and Boebert’s antics. Marge raging after her insult was stricken from the record only made things worse for Marge. Speaker pro tem now needs the establishment’s support, not the fringe.
- For all those conservatives so offended to drink a beer out of a can that has a rainbow flag on it: you can pour it into a glass so your Neaderthalic friends don’t tease you about a product packaging decoration. Or you could acknowledge your sexual insecurity. You do you.
- Conservatives: if you have an inkling of fear, it’s completely reasonable to shoot a person multiple times whether they’re armed or not. Also conservatives: If you’re getting the crap beat out of you by armed people in uniforms, under no circumstances can you flee and if you do, anything that happens to you afterward is warranted.
- I for one would welcome charges filed against Hunter Biden–if evidence warrants it. You won’t hear Democrats whine that it’s a political witch hunt or call for judges to be removed from the bench. Liberals will largely let the procedure go on as it normally would, without threatening judges or sending thousands of fundraising emails declaring “BIDENS UNDER ATTACK” because Democrats aren’t in a cult.
- Ron DeSantis’s attempt to “own” Disney shows how craven he is: jeopardizing the economic future of the state and the state’s largest private employer for short-term political gain.
- Australian Rules Football players all look like they’re either members of a barbershop quartet or mugshots from the 1890s.
- Morgan State University, an HBCU in Baltimore, recently tore down a “spite wall” built by white residents nearly a century ago to literally pen in the Black students so they didn’t enter the neighborhood. But America’s racist past should not be taught in schools because America’s racist past was so far in the distant past, right?
- What’s a normal number of tabs to have open at once? I feel five or seven’s about right. Fewer and it’s like you’re just dippin’ your toe in the pool. More and it’ll quickly get away from you.
- You can tell an awful lot about a person by the way they make mashed potatoes. Too lumpy and they’re too careless. Too smooth and they’re obsessive. A good potato masher knows when to embrace the perfectly imperfect.
- After a while, Monopoly is only fun for one player. Everyone else is just struggling through the board game version of the reality of living paycheck to paycheck. “Can I pay the rent? Oh, shit, utilities are due! And when did I win a fucking beauty pageant?”
