@allanb Never be afraid to bail on media you do not enjoy, you owe it nothing.

@Taweret I think we should consider doing a tribute to Roger Coreman next week, maybe by voting on one of his monster films?

This was suggested by @CactuarJoe and I second that idea.

Mike Johnson showed unusually large balls for a Republican

@allanb I think he wants to be in charge next for real (after Trump) and this is a good play to neuter Trump's primary legislative supporters.

A good example of how headlines differ from stories. The difference is usually due to layout/headline writers being different from the reporter, and they either fail to read the story or "spice it up" by misrepresenting the contents.

Headline is:

"Divided Washington state to choose Biden or Trump: ‘Everything seems a mess right now’"

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/12/washington-state-2024-primary-biden-trump

But the story doesn't convey that idea all.

The politically waffling anonymous stall holder with whom the reporter was talking and who seems not to be comfortable with immigration, isn't representative of the majority of people in the state.

As a rule, Eastern WA is more conservative in general, but it's a minority population and view.

Western WA, where most of the 7.7 million people live, is more tolerant of emigration than minority rural interests on the east and south side of the state.

Trump's insatiable taste for deporting people and building walls seems like it would be an urgent call to 'vote for the other guy' if you wanted to have representative government.

Not voting is a vote for Trump, given the Democrats are in a defensive posture against a known cheater.

Knowing the scales of public sentiment have Republican thumbs over them this election (as in 2016), it makes pretty good sense to make your vote count rather than turning coat and running away from responsibility

I knew a guy who opened a brick-and-mortar shop, that only sold CDs of shareware, which wasn't nonsense in 1994

What disinformation does is distract people from seeing the mundane truth for what it is.

Take for example, the conspiracy theory about Chinese Lab Leaks.

So many people refuse to accept the fact that nature is far more powerful than imaginary men who make imaginary mistakes

If you say: "I'm opposed to GoF research, it ought to be banned" and you are not a Virologist, you're almost certainly unqualified to hold an opinion, and very likely do not understand how either science or nature really works

Watching a couple of comedians I normally follow on various social media and noticing how (since they're not leaving twitter), they've become more anti-liberal, can't stop talking about Musk as if he's a joy and a novelty, name-drop no-name republican politicians with friendly ribbing, become overtly misogynistic in their jokes.

I first thought they were on Elon's payroll, but I think it's just that they are afraid of becoming poor because twitter is their new audience, and they have changed
