No sports. Straight to…the links!
Climate change
Sorry, but we’re not buying this bullshit. Weather isn’t climate. And riots also aren’t climate. And neither is poor forest management.
Maybe this should have been in sports. But it’s more like a government and bureaucratic thing than a sports thing. So it went in the news instead.
Well that’s that, I suppose. This administration is feckless.
This is taking pro-abortion a bit too far. Christ, what an asshole.
Why would he do that?!?!
That crazy Putin. His tactical nukes are probably as close to Poland as our tactical nukes are to Russia.What a psychopath!
Words fail me. Seriously.
I don’t even remember this happening. I wonder what the settlement was.
I wouldn’t hold out hope. This is looking pretty bleak.
Here’s some solid rock. Good stuff. Yeah…drugs. What a solid band (for a time). Enjoy them both.

The culprits: climate change
Climate change turned me into a newt.
So you were newtered?
Nah — he’s just eft.
Oh come on! That was funny!
grumble… best material never gets responses… sigh…
Last week we had a 2 day heat wave and the climate change articles ran amok. This week it rained and we reverted to the norm. I don’t see any articles on climate change.
“Sorry, but we’re not buying this bullshit. Weather isn’t climate. And riots also aren’t climate. And neither is poor forest management.”
But we need you to panic about climate change so we can finish off what we started with the Kung Flu!
Well, it is supposed to threaten 80 degrees today. I didn’t know you were a limey.
Yeah — for June, it has been cool here in the Central Valley of KALI-for-NEUH. (Thank you, Arnold). Only a few days in the 90s, none in the 100s yet. Normally we’re in the low 100s, with 110s in July and August. I’m assuming it has to do with the wet winter cycle we got this year, jet stream dip or something — but I’m certainly not knocking it.
Supposed to be 68* here in Oregon today. June what?
Sorry, but we’re not buying this bullshit. Weather isn’t climate. And riots also aren’t climate. And neither is poor forest management. – well you may not have a choice about buying it

Article I read earlier this morning conjectured that they may have gotten hung in the wreck. Certainly possible — and if so, that would add a further element of tragedy to subsequent visits — wrecks of Titanic and Titan both.

I’m convinced they’re dead already.
Did they not learn anything from Roger Moore James Bond movies (especially For Your Eyes Only)? You always, always, have a saw and jaw crusher attachment on a submersible.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told NBC News on Monday that his trip to Beijing marked an “important start” in stabilizing U.S. ties with China and that the countries should move on from the spy balloon incident that postponed his visit earlier this year.
It’s the Clinton playbook then.
Stopping the downward spiral in relations between the world’s two largest economies “is not the product of one visit, even as intense and in some ways productive as this was,” Blinken said. “But it’s a good and I think important start.”
They don’t respect you cuntes at all.
See? Another thing they have in common with America now!
His tactical nukes are probably as close to Poland as our tactical nukes are to Russia.What a psychopath!
Never mind that NATO has been encroaching on Russia since the fall of the USSR. But Russia is just crazy and imperialist while NATO is full of angels. Or so I’m told.
Lucifer and his legions were Angels, blinded by pride.
NATO has been encroaching on Russia – well there was a reason all countries were eager to join NATO. NATO did not force anything.
Said reason being “It is nice for Uncle Sugar to pay our military budgets so we can funnel money to our cronies!”.
NATO most certainly should have said “No way” to avoid provoking the Russians for no reason and furthering the US obligations overseas (that are pointless). Goes without saying that the US should have left NATO in the early ’90s anyway.. if Europe wants to have its own protective alliance, let them… there’s no need for us to do it.
I doubt eastern europe in NATO added significant expense to US defense budget that would not have existed otherwise. Afghanistan and Iraq had little to do with Eastern Europe.
NATO is an excellent deal for every country except for the citizens of the United States. Why wouldn’t European countries rush to sign up?
These countries get the full military backing of the US and have to do nothing in return (except for essentially becoming a vassal state of the US). Instead of spending money on defense, these governments can redirect taxpayer money normally needed for defense into social engineering on a massive scale.
” (except for essentially becoming a vassal state of the US)” I keep hearing things like this…and “American Empire” etc.
Don’t vassals provide something to their lords? We spend money on defending them, or blood trying to prop up their governments (Iraq, Afghanistan). What are we getting out of this?
We need a new term for this Wilsonian impulse-state.
We need a new term for this Wilsonian impulse-state.
Remora-states.
Suthenboy said it best. These eternal wars and heightened military state are designed to loot the US taxpayer. Normally countries loot their enemies in war. Instead, DC is looting their own American citizens. The politicians and big military are rolling in money faster than they can grab it.
The invasions in Iraq and Afganistan, the hundreds of foreign military bases, the 80+ military engagements on foreign soil America is currently involved in, nation-building contracts, “donating” of US-made military hardware to corrupt shitholes, and the DEA having free reign in South America and Afghanistan, just to name a few, is all about taking money from American citizens and funneling it to DC politicians, lobbyists, NGOs, and others in the swamp.
👆👆👆
And as a bonus, it strokes the egos of the narcissistic psychopaths in DC, thus providing motivation and justification in their lunatic minds.
“Normally countries loot their enemies in war. Instead, DC is looting their own American citizens. “
Which tells you who DC thinks its enemies are.
Why wouldn’t European countries rush to sign up?
For countries that have lived under Russian domination in living memory, they’d probably have been happy to sign up for something even without so much US largess. Of course, part of NATO’s mission is US domination of Europe, so we buy compliance.
“Well that’s that, I suppose. This administration is feckless.”
Actually, despite all the efforts of the powers that be to hide it from the public, the problem is that Xi owns the dolt they fortified the 2020 election to get in the WH as well as most, if not all of Wall Street and the upper management of every 3 letter agency.
Look fat, there’s still wealth to plunder in China. Steady as she goes.
The funny thing is that the main reason these idiots can’t disconnect is that China is preventing them from repatriating that wealth China played them on. It’s like the old traps for monkeys where you stuck a fruit in a bottle and the monkey couldn’t let go of the fruit even though once he stuck his hand in it was too big to pull out with the fruit in his fist.
The writing was on the wall back in 2010, but Wall Street kept pretending that they magically would change the CCP and the rules of the game somehow. So now they would rather risk the world than give up on money they will never get, cause that would make them not so rich.
Much of the Putin hate is for similar reasons. He shut down the looting that was going on under Yeltsin.
It’s easy to underestimate how much the Brits despise the Russians. They’re still prosecuting 19th century imperial rivalries and looting Russia’s resources is a primary objective.
Yes – the Brits want to re+fight the Crimean War. The American neo-cons want to restore Trotsky to power.
Your right, poor forest management as a reason is bullshit. Like blaming the spotted owl for mill shutdowns in the 80’s & 90’s.
You mean the idiots that demand immediate zero sum solutions to their hang-ups are morons for doing that?

I’m not terribly religious and even I have always found the “prides” that are supposed to be celebratory (black, gay), to instead be off-putting.
This I think gets at the root why.
I always though that they used pride because it’s the opposite of shame, and they didn’t want to be ashamed of being gay.
Comfort for everyone is a big part of the wine train’s mission after 11 women members of a book club — 10 Black and one white — were kicked off the train for allegedly being disruptive in 2015. The women filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the company, seeking $11 million, and settled the following year for an undisclosed amount.
Of course they did. No chance they were actually being disruptive. They were just dining while black.
I hear black ladies have problems in movie theatres as well for some reason…
It hasn’t been a running joke forever or anything.

Study suggests warfare was responsible for the boom-bust cycles of Neolithic societies
https://phys.org/news/2023-06-warfare-responsible-boom-bust-neolithic-societies.html
“Computer simulations
In the study, the researchers focused on the period from the first evidence of agriculture in Europe to the beginning of the Bronze Age—between 7000 BCE and 3000 BCE. The simulation begins with each small unit of the map either empty or occupied by a village of independent farmers. The simulation combines two components: population change in each unit based on climate variability during the time period; and interactions, which include populations in each unit splitting, migrating, or coming into conflict with each other.
The patterns created by the computer simulations were then compared to real-world data. A radiocarbon dating database was used by the team. “Archaeological data on settlements and Carbon-14 dating indicate boom and bust cycles. As settlement data are limited to a few regions and periods, we rely on Carbon-14 data in our model predictions,” explains Kondor. ”
sounds legit

“The comment section is a good time to refresh ourselves with discriminatory harassment: A form of harassment that is unwelcome conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity), national origin, or sexual orientation,” Grinston wrote.
The 82nd Airborne’s tweet recommended Army families check out a book called a “Survival Guide for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Teens,” as well as another that describes how parents can learn to “support” their LGBGQ+ child, from the on-base library. The titles are “intended for ages 13 and up,” the photo stated.

Australia needs to reduce emissions to net zero by 2038 to do ‘fair share’ to contain global heating, analysis shows
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/19/australia-needs-to-reduce-emissions-to-net-zero-by-2038-to-do-fair-share-to-contain-global-heating-analysis-shows
This fair share thing is escaping confinement
You used to just have to worry about the Aussie wildlife trying to kill you. Now it’s also the government that is trying to do so.
Fair Share is a concept invented by kids on a playground that know they will be picked last for any game.
Someone isn’t doing their fair share. I wonder who it could be…
More here.
And yet there has been no warming for nearly a decade. In scientific terms that would mean that their “increasing CO2 emissions = increased global warming” hypothesis has been falsified.
Not a single one of their climate models has born out. Yet we keep getting told the problem isn’t that the models are either rigged to show heating that doesn’t exist or simply are incorrect because we don’t understand climate enough to properly model it. No, instead we get told by angry kids and stupid bartenders that we only have 12 years to save Gaia from extermination by solar burnup.
As someone that modeled aircraft engines in a long ago past, I will tell you that if my models were that inaccurate, the aircraft using those engines would have dropped out of the sky like bricks.
Not just not borne out. Consistently overestimated, typically by 2-3 times.
“Once we adjusted our model, our model continues to tell us we’re right!”
alternate take:
“That’s why we moved all the temperature stations to sun-baked parking lots so we can show warming!”
Well… they have a lot of thorium (and uranium, iirc)… so that should be doable on their part. If they weren’t such anti-nuke pansies about it, of course.
No one really gives a shit about global warming. I interact almost exclusively with lefties during my daily work and such and, although some of them mention global warming here and there (usually in a “humans are terrible” sense) because that’s what they’re supposed to do, about zero of them are willing to experience even the slightest bit of discomfort/inconvenience. If the thermostat is two degrees off of perfect… oh hell no. Good luck getting everyone to live like a bivouacking soldier in the 10th Mountain Division.
They sure care about that racket if it can be used as an excuse to justify robbing the productive even more.
Finally the military is doing as is intended, social engineering and providing elective and destructive medical procedures to insane people.
Front Page Magazine’s exclusive report that Biden’s nominee for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Brown, had signed off on a 43% quota for white male officers made waves. In interviews, I warned that quotas had become more fundamental to the military than winning. And it’s been that way for a while. That’s why we have a very diverse woke brass that is incapable of winning wars, yet argues for abortion and transgenderism.
The Biden administration’s obsession with making diversity, equity and inclusion into the center of every military program has put more pressure on the woke brass to deliver results.

There is no debate necessary when you have consensus.
Dr. @PeterHotez on why he won’t debate @RobertKennedyJr: “In science, we don’t typically do debates. What we do is we write scientific papers … one doesn’t typically debate science. Maybe the one-off discussion of evolution versus creationism & that sort of thing, but that’s not what we do in science.”
https://youtu.be/lw9azZmLxtw
one doesn’t typically debate science – what a stupid statement. One absolutely debates findings of science. Or at least should.
If you change science to religion, then it makes sense.
But you see, the papers aren’t legit if they don’t get into peer-reviewed journals. And it just so happens that the pharmaceutical companies control all the peer-reviewed medical journals, and the schools of medicine, and the regulatory system…
But how dare you ask one of us to sit down and debate in good faith in person? That’s just uncouth and undignified, unlike my constant sniping and character assassination attacks on Twitter.
So in other words, we only punch down when we’re dealing with a bunch of uneducated religious fanatics that will beclown themselves in public. If someone comes with actual facts, fuck that shit.
So all that scientific method stuff we learned in school isn’t real. Back to an inquisition telling us what the scientific facts are.

Hunter Biden to plead guilty for three federal charges:
https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1671146888018403328?s=46&t=A06oloe1Jyy9EG2F8MX6aw
The charges:
https://www.axios.com/2023/06/20/hunter-biden-charged-gun-taxes-plea-deal#
So two misdemeanors and pretrial diversion for the third. And the third is for mere possession, not perjury on the 4473. How the hell is possession while using drugs a federal crime and are people actually charged with that? If you lawfully possess a firearm and you toke up, you’ve committed an additional crime?
That’s how it works if you’re a black woman:
https://wydaily.com/latest-news/2023/06/13/mother-of-6-year-old-who-shot-newport-news-teacher-pleads-guilty-to-gun-charges/
He’s getting probation for a gun felony, just like any of the plebs would get.
Pretrial diversion, no less. If he successfully completes that, the charge is dropped.
My take is that they will read his mind, like they did with Hillary and Joe, find no ill intent, and tell us that even though this came up to a level where a prosecutor would file charges, there would be no judge or jury that would convict. Especially in team blue controlled banana republic legal jursidictions.

SORRY OT: Well. Mostly official. Or decided, rather. Looking for anxiety, depression, substance use, epilepsy and the bizarre/predictable side effects of its current meds/dosages. Place I went to that does in/out or both-patient stuff said they couldn’t handle it cuz of the epilepsy. So they literally told me to go to the ER cuz of that. Detox shit, but epilepsy has been acting up. Not unrelated.
Haven’t figured out FULL details, but it’s about a 3-day stay in the hospital. Hrm. Apparently lorazepam and phenobartbital may be involved. 1) Anti-seizure as fuck: Good. 2) Sedatives: Good. 3) Anti-anxiety and laid back (are sold on the street as fun drugs): Hell. Yes. 4) Can increase depressive and suicidal thoughts: Bad!
5) Is known to cause short and long-term memory issues…UM. That’s already a big issue with me. Uh. Let’s not exacerbate that.
At my parents’ and Dad’s gonna take me back up to my place in an hour or so. Talking to my psychiatrist (who REALLY quickly squeezed me in) tomorrow and go over it all. It looks kinda like I’ll be doing this next Monday. I have not fully decided. I would have preferred a mostly in-patient with some time outpatient. That could have been done without the epilepsy issues. Hrm.
Life is tricky: News at 11. I’m not terribly fussed, though I am considering (I’ve done it before) smuggling in edibles and I’d quite like my nicotine vape. Hrm-sy-doodle.

Blinken’s trip to China, the first by a U.S. secretary of state since 2018, was postponed in February after the discovery of an alleged Chinese spy balloon over U.S. territory. President Joe Biden said last month that an agreement he and Xi made to keep communications open had also been derailed by “this silly balloon.”
They already know everything, anyway.
You mean they are reminding Biden whom is the top and whom the bottom, right?
In that regard, it worked as intended and there’s no need to rehash it.

Science is not a debating society!
CON-SENSE-SUS!
As I pointed out: in the middle ages the church made sure the consensus was that the world was flat and the center of the universe despite knowledge that it was not so. Then we all found out that consensus existed for political advantage. Exactly like the one about Climate Change…
It has always been about information/knowledge and they that control that, control the masses. Free thinking peoples are fucking dangerous.
This is why they did the shift to climate change. Even the lemmings started to figure out is wasn’t getting warmer.
“We said what we needed to say and made clear what we needed to make clear in terms of this not happening again, and so long as it doesn’t, that chapter should be closed,” Blinken said.
“But it’s something we’re very vigilant about and that we’ll continue to watch,” he added.
There is now a sternly worded reprimand in their file, and they have been put on conditional probation. Procedures have been followed.

Somber reflection, and celebratory gunplay
…Juneteenth should be more than a day of rest or celebration. It should be a somber day to reflect on the unique challenges Black people have faced in this country — and a day to emphasize the need for national atonement. This Juneteenth is an opportune moment to consider the bill Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., introduced last month calling for $14 trillion in reparations for Black Americans.
Bush was right when she said at a news conference that “the United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people. America must provide reparations if we desire a prosperous future for all.”
Black people have no agency or responsibility for themselves. They are helpless innocent children of the earth, incapable of taking charge of their own lives. Only through the magic of free money will they be able to realize their potential.
When they constantly get told by college educated white female cat ladies living in urban dwellings that if it was not for these cat ladies protection and do-gooderism these black kids would be back in chains, can you blame these kids for being that dumb?
… the need for national atonement
For the 400,000 Northerners dead in the war that freed the slaves? Like half a century of Affirmative Action and diversity quotas that disadvantage white people in favor black people even though the white people being disadvantaged had nothing to do with slavery?
FUCK RIGHT OFF, GRIFTER.

It’s a damn good thing we got that debt ceiling nonsense out of the way
On his first trip to California since announcing his reelection campaign, President Biden on Monday announced $600 million in federal funding to fight the effects of climate change after touring a Northern California nature reserve with Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The financial commitment from the president is expected to only enhance Biden’s strong political support in California and among Americans concerned about the environment, two constituencies critical to the president’s bid for a second term.
I guess money really does grow on trees.
His political support in California could drop by half and he’d still win the state’s electoral votes.
Probably a way to get Gavin to stop running for president.
There are a couple of different pain gloves, but I have to figure out which are for inflicting pain.
I’d go with the velvet ones with a chain mail lining.
The Biden administration funding to combat climate change, which will be awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Inflation Reduction Act, will help coastal and Great Lakes communities susceptible to storm surge, sea level rise and flooding and support innovative solutions to boost climate resilience.
“I’ve toured many sites across the country that clearly show climate change is a genuine existential — the existential threat to humanity,” Biden said as he stood near a salt marsh at the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center in the San Francisco Bay.
The Democratic president touted his administration’s work to fight climate change. Biden highlighted $2.3 billion to modernize the electric grid under the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including $67.4 million to California.
“Throughout our history we’re the only nation in the world that has come out of every crisis we’ve entered stronger than we went into,” Biden said. “We’re doing it again here on the climate crisis.”
God save the queen. Let’s all go have some flapjacks.
Of course, when we say “modernize the grid” we mean shift to erratic and unreliable sources.
I am afraid you are correct.
It’s absolutely correct.
There is a difference between energy and power. Energy is just that. Power is energy when and where you need it.
YouTube suspended ads on one of the most wholesome channels ever, so now they can’t make videos because they’re not getting paid.

Any clue why? Is “tribal” a Forbidden Word now?
The changes Newsom has proposed would also make it easier to complete his controversial plan to build an underground tunnel to transport water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to Southern California, for example. A main goal of the package is to reduce the opportunity for lengthy delays due to lawsuits filed under the California Environmental Quality Act, which can sink building projects.
Whatever you do, don’t call it a pipeline, or we’ll never get it built.
Call it a “high speed choo-choo train that will reduce the time it takes to move water to Los Angeles.”
Re: Wine Train incident. I was asking my granddaughter about her job (server at popular sports bar type restaurant) and she mentioned how prejudiced some of her fellow servers have become. Why? The black patrons are the most unruly, worst tippers, and lace the air with “mofo” this and that which bothers the other patrons. She says the servers cringe when they see black folks assigned to their tables. Then pundits wonder why behavior of some members of a group morphs into dislike for an entire group just based on skin color or appearance.
Stereotypes originate somewhere.
And this isn’t a new stereotype nor observation.
And here’s where the Ukrainians get hung out to dry. It’s not like they weren’t warned.

It so much hanging them out to dry as not wanting to put us in a position where the nukes would be liable to fly. At least they’re not that nuts.
Ukraine was always a sacrificial lamb in the neocons quest to get at Russia. You’d have to be a fool to believe a damned word that came out of DC or London’s pie-holes about assurances of any sort.
Now after they’ve poked the bear, Ukraine is going to find out why it was always a very bad idea to do so. It’s not like they didn’t have the entire Middle East to look to as an example of how we leave a trail of destruction everywhere we go.
At least they’re not that nuts.
Time will tell.
“They got to meet the same standards. So, I’m not going to make it easier,” Biden told reporters. “I think they’ve done everything relating to demonstrating the ability to coordinate militarily, but there’s a whole issue of is their system secure? Is it noncorrupt? Does it meet all the standards … every other nation in NATO does.”
Other countries in NATO don’t pull their own weight and otherwise meet the standards. But that is irrelevant if Ukraine joining NATO is a red line for Russia.
Yes, that is their red line and I believe they’re quite serious about it.
Biden is a fucking idiot to be spouting off about this. It is not going to happen – period.
He also said they wouldn’t get fighter jets.

Knives out
In a baffling turn of events, the Donald Trump-appointed federal judge overseeing his Mar-a-Lago classified documents debacle appears to have placed the case on warp speed—setting a trial just two months away.
On Monday morning, federal court records showed that U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon created what’s referred to as a “rocket docket” to speed his trial through the system.
Cannon issued an order stating that the most historic criminal trial in American history will commence Aug. 14. That’s just 55 days away, while most federal trials take up to a year or more as both sides prepare for an epic showdown in court.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith, could not confirm that this decision was correct, and not simply a typo. Trump’s defense lawyers did not immediately respond to questions.
Legal scholars have noted that this judge is something of a loose cannon, consistently making puzzling decisions that lean heavily in favor of the president who appointed her in his final months in office.
Legal scholars, partisan armchair litigators…
They don’t seem to like her very much.
She is in the way of us getting our pony!
“Wait wait wait how can we drag this out through the entire 2024 election season if you expedite the trial!”
Speedy trials are a threat to our democracy!
No fair! We had this timed so it would have maximum effect on the election!
Maybe it is more because he can be an egotistical idiot and just made the prosecution’s case for obstruction for them?
The constitutional right to a speedy trial is baffling.
I hope he fucking sues them and gets millions. And I for one will avoid the Mayo clinic and would recommend everyone do so if they want medical treatment that doesn’t come from science denying quacks.
Lysenko was rational compared to these lunatics.
Ummm…but it does…
If that’s the consensus now, then let’s take it off the lists of banned substances for the Olympics, etc.
All your words are belong to us.
Looking forward to aging male athletes declaring as women and winning all the women events in the next Olympics. Hundreds of “New World Records for Women” will be set.

Truth > Facts
Interesting that they gave Hunter just enough to basically call the case closed, shrug off accusations of partisanship to those who are already inclined to be forgiving, and whitewash Joe’s involvement in all that bullshit just in time for the election season and Trump’s trial to begin in earnest. The DOJ is weaponized beyond all hope it appears.
Narrative above all.
Yes, that is the strategy. We’ve talked about it here for months. Now they can say the Bidens have been thoroughly investigated and Hunter has paid for his crimes. And anyone who says otherwise is sowing disinsformation and should be censored.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees a person’s right to a speedy trial, a measure meant to protect against jailing someone indefinitely through Kafkaesque bureaucracy.
Unless they are insurrectionists who defiled the temple of democracy. Those motherfuckers can rot in jail for as long as the government wants to keep them there.
Well traitors don’t deserve those protections as they’ve defacto rejected them. A mushbrained argument of course but they’ll use it.
Or assorted run of the mill felons set loose to roam the streets for years while awaiting trial. Things used to be different. I think I’ve told the story about how a found a news clipping from the 1950s about my father’s uncle being robbed and pistol whipped in Philly, the perp traced to Virginia and extradited, put on trial and sentenced to prison all within four months time.
Who?
When asked by host Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week,” if Trump should drop out, Hutchinson didn’t merely respond by answering “yes, I think that he should drop out,” something he acknowledged that “clearly, he’s not going to.” Hutchinson also defended the severity of the charges by attacking the narrative that the DOJ’s involvement has led to the “weaponization” of government.
He also criticized “the whole concept of the–that so many Republican leaders adopting that this is a weaponization of the Justice Department,” including how Trump has indicated he’s going to appoint a special prosecutor to go after the Biden family,” which he says is “called a weaponization of the Justice Department.”
The weaponization ship sailed long ago.
How much you want to bet that the DOJ will agree to drop charges if Trump agrees to not run for office again?
They want a landmark case to lean on in the future. Taking him down will do that. There is no chance they don’t let their foot off the gas.
Yeah. This is all out war.
Should be fun when he’s convicted. I’m sure everyone will be stoic.
Gatekeepers of SCIENCE!
YouTube said Monday that it had removed a video of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaking with podcast host Jordan Peterson for spreading what the company said was vaccine misinformation.
The decision is the latest challenge for Kennedy as he seeks to find support for a Democratic presidential run after years as an anti-vaccine crusader. The video was removed amid a broader tug-of-war online between vaccine conspiracy theorists and prominent doctors.
YouTube’s policies against hosting false medical information are long-standing.
“We removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel for violating YouTube’s general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities,” YouTube said Monday in a statement.
At least somebody is willing to stick to the script.
Purely objective reporting there.
I saw this one coming from miles away.

Anyone with half a brain who has actually used ChatGPT could tell you that it is a pipe dream, but one that they will pursue regardless.

It would be like letting Hitler retire to Bergtesgarten, as long as he pinky-swore no more world domination.
Anyone with half a brain who has actually used ChatGPT could tell you that it is a pipe dream, but one that they will pursue regardless.
If the all-knowing Machine tells you the world needs 17 billion pairs of pink peg slacks, you don’t argue.
Random thought:
1. Sell California to China to pay off our Chinese-owned debt. All the people there have to stay and no longer participate in American politics.
2. ?
3. PROFIT!
Oh hell no! I still have a house in Georgia, so I damned well better be able to get out. And like Sodom and Gammorah, there are still some decent people in this state who haven’t made it out just yet.
Peterson, a right-wing Canadian pundit and psychologist known for his attacks on feminism and racial diversity, recorded the video as a podcast for The Daily Wire, a conservative media outlet.
SILENCE HIM.
“attacks on racial diversity”
I don’t even have to have heard a single word from that person to be fairly certain this is a bald-faced lie.
