Alright I hate to bring this guy up again but I just saw Cuomo’s “I’m gonna explain myself video.” Have y’all seen that shit? It is hilarious. I’m not saying what he did is funny. I’m saying how ridiculous he sounded talking about it was funny because it was such a crock of shit and he and whoever w...

May I ask what the immediate spark or motivation for the recent comments on censorship is? I can't find a reference in the recent comments to censorship of any sort (except in the posts responding to the initial censorship event which I can't find). Thanks. It was me stirring shit, though unintenti...

Unfortunately, the censorship game has been happening long before social media/YouTube. Bill O'Reilley and Glen Beck famously had producers cut off the mics of guests that said stuff they didn't like. Talk radio has dumped callers for decades. And it shouldn’t have happened then either but I’ve nev...

https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/houston-venue-refutes-jason-isbells-claim-it-refused-covid-policy/ This is so rich on so many levels. And this kind of thing has only just begun no? I was surprised to hear he had sold 1700 tickets? That seems weird. And off for some reason. This whole story is a ...

Well old Andy is still a pervert but at least he’s not a pervert governor anymore. One down and no telling how many to go but progress is progress.

I hope you are done with. Comparing trans people with bears? Cool shit. Saying trans people have something fucked up with their brains? Cool shit. I'm guessing you've never met a trans person in your life (it's really easy to demonize people when you don't interact with them) Faculty lounge? What i...

Truly spoken by someone who lives in a tiny bubble. Get out of your neighborhood and try meeting some people who don't look and think exactly like you. I have several trans students and trans friends. Every word you believe about them is happy horse shit. I'm not interested in changing your mind, b...

Well, I'm glad you two found each other's common love of transphobia. Hooray for the internet That dog doesn’t hunt, Zip. You can try that nonsense with other people maybe but you aren’t going to do it with me. Recognition of provable facts is not a “phobia”. It’s just the truth. If I put on a dres...

If I put on a dress and start saying I’m a woman I’m not suddenly a woman. That idiotic to say different. I’m a man wearing a dress. My chromosomes and genitalia void any delusion I might have. The claim by endocrinologists is that there is sufficient evidence in brain chemistry to trump genitalia ...

About Joe Rogan: A very smart Facebook friend of mine (HJ) posted this dialogue between himself and his GF today: GF: What would a leftist Joe Rogen look like? HJ: I'm not sure a leftist Joe Rogen could ever exist. Could you create an easy going television personality who virtued signaled all the t...

Joe been trolling my posts on here. He gonna become enemy number one of covid mis information. And that other dude mentioning how "we" told the natives they should move to reservations for their own "protection" , they wanted freedom. Imagine. Oh wait they banned Imagine because its better the peop...

Zip you posted a clip from Chris Cuomo, man. Lol. Rogan has at least as much credibility as he does and a lot of people would say more. Cuomo has a law degree and works on a news station. Rogan is a bad standup comic and MMA announcer. Let’s not compare their pedigrees. Omg no way. a lawyer and a j...

Though that letter had a fair share of snark, I think it makes a decent enough point about where "personal freedom" around public health blurs into other people's lives Not really. This is part of the problem. We want context only when it suits us. The people who love to say “Well you might have fr...

Making a caricature of people who don’t agree with you might be fun and feel like owning the cons but it’s not particularly persuasive of helpful whether it’s you or me doing it.

CY, reading your most recent posts on top of what I've been reading for a while it is finally clear to me that what separates us (you can read that as you and me or more widely) is our different perceptions of how serious a threat this virus is. Do I have any basis to make an independent judgment o...

To quote Fred Eaglesmith "when did the left lose it's sense of humor?" And when did they become so puritanical and such conformists? One of the things in the democrats’ favor used to be the fact that they didn’t engage in the moralizing the republicans were so bad about so often. Now they have not ...

Twenty years ago the democrats seemed to be more in line with the idea of do what makes you happy and what works for you as long you aren’t directly hurting anybody. It’s none of my business. I’ll do the same and will thank you to stay out of my business as well. Hell those are conservative ideas no...

All that anti semitism, he belongs in the squad. If you think this is at all comparable to criticisms of Israel as a state actor, I don’t know what to tell you. If you can show me anti-semitism of this flavor from any member of “The Squad,” I would love to see it. To quote Fred Eaglesmith "when did...

Well, "Fauci is the world's greatest supervillain" narrative aside (which I still don't get, but whatever), I would say that small pox should not be standard by which we create/implement public health policy. If he is suggesting that no disease should be mitigated unless it rises to the levels of s...

Saying Fauci created and/or is responsible for any variant of COVID is unproven, wildly disingenuous conspiracy theory stuff. I’m not so sure. Maybe. But I’m not so sure. So what about the rest of it as far as contesting the reaction to small pocks and this? Is he wrong? Well, "Fauci is the world's...

A friend of mine said this, this morning. Is he wrong? Somehow, the major government "health" organizations seem to have completely forgotten the concept of context. They certainly have forgotten history, even recent history. Some of you can remember, as I do, that smallpox was a real virus that kil...
