#JohnOliver did a brilliant take down of the smear campaign against the students protesting against #Genocide in #Gaza. If you’re able to you should check it out. It should be easy to see you’re on the wrong side when you’re sending out cops to knock down a 65 year old Jewish professor of Jewish studies while claiming you’re keeping Jewish students and faculty safe. #LastWeekTonight#Palestine#GazaGenocide#FreePalestine
This week's #LastWeekTonight had #JohnOliver accurately savaging the #StudentLoan industry, where the feds loan money to students and let corporations sponge off the payments.
Out of over 2 million people who have paid for over twenty years on income-driven payment plans, who should have their loans discharged, only 32 individuals did before Biden became President.
It's not education funding; it's corporate welfare.

For that matter, I had never reflected on what John Oliver’s format with #LastWeekTonight encapsulates, but this article made it quite succinct: you’re working on popping the jargon and obfuscation and presentation around the banality of (financial) evil with entertainment. Keep people’s attention up to understand what is happening.
If you see the following video (it’s restricted to certain regions presumably where HBO Max isn’t available), then you will get to eventually see the whole show on YouTube and not just the main story like before. 🤩
Finally, #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver is uploading their full episodes from past seasons on YouTube and Season 1 is already up! (Not available in all regions, so you might not see this playlist.)

Taking the opportunity of being bed-ridden (fuck you, covid) to catch up on #LastWeekTonight, and this snippet from a show that aired about a month and a half before #Kissinger died was just... 😘👌
John Oliver called Mike Johnson "an anti-LGBT bigot who believes in more accountability for his son's search engine history than for the people who tried to overthrow the government."
I am pro public transportation in the form of #trains, and I am pro improving business and shipping via trains.
The cost-cutting measures that are happening in freight train corporations right now are horrifying. I had a neighbor who worked for BNSF and wow, was that a stressful job. episode 20 season 10 of #LastWeekTonight covers this.
My dream is to be able to get to and from Denver on the train. Right now I’d have to drive to Omaha from here, or drive up from Trinidad there. Not ideal.
I just received a text message from someone claiming to be Andi Gutmans. It’s the same kind of CEO text message, where they claim to be in a meeting and need you to do something for them real quick. The thing is, I’ve never worked with Andi outside of PHP, so I think they’re targeting me based on data from LinkedIn, where it shows I “work for” PHP in my experience history.
