These regressive protests over food and drink companies don't last long and are only seriously practiced by a vanishingly few people. No one was calling them freedom fries with any real sincerity by the end of that news week.

My kid friend's dad made a point of pouring french wine into the toilet in front of me because of Jacques Chirac's bold decision to not invade Iraq.

Rare win from Chirac aside, it sticks with me that something about US reactionaries makes them think the likes of destroying their own property for to own a first grader for their incorrect frog politics is a good move

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

In theory yes, in practice it's a complex and poorly understood set of outcomes based on a combo of known and unknown factors including things like epigenetics and occupational exposures.

Whatever shill was filling in for Hannity today had...Victoria Jackson on as a guest and it was as hilarious and depressing as you'd think. I guess Rob Schneider or Kevin Sorbo might be on Friday. Even though celebrities should stfu about politics.

Also, a huge rush/push today by the shows I heard to label the car explosion at the Canada/US border an act of terrorism. They're claiming that "the administration" really wants it not to be while in the same breath doing everything they can to suggest and hope that it is. All of the "alphabet agencies" were on the scene, apparently to make sure they can cover up the terrorist attack instead of, you know, investigating a huge car explosion at the border. So I suppose either way it's a huge cover up.

The terrorist attack at the Canadian border today that Fox news and others are screaming about turned out to be a guy and his wife in a Bently who couldnt go to a Kiss concert because Paul Stanly is in bed with the flu, so they decided to go to a casino and lost control of their car.

Hannity had a wonderful brain fart earlier this week - he was stumbling through a promo of a movie he featured in, and he was able to somewhat describe the careers of all the actors in it until he got to "And it has Victoria Jackson... who everyone knows. Plus...!"

Probably because the rest of the family ignores their dumbasses for the rest of the year, but when they come over for Thanksgiving, they have to listen to their bullshit.

Anecdotally, Thanksgiving feels like the bigger get-together kind of holiday. Christmas is harder because people have their own things to do with their own close families. They might go see the grandparents for a few hours, but aunts & uncles are probably out of the question.

It doesn't help that Thanksgiving also has a lot of forced civility as an unwritten rule. Uncle Jeff can belittle your entire existence because he loves the sinner but not the sin, but if you call him an rear end in a top hat you're tearing this family apart

You really would think there would be fewer openly insane right-wing aunts/uncles from how they've been used as a lazy standup punchline for decades now. Takes a special mind to see the exact flavor of bullshit they're offering being ripped on as something everyone hates, so often and obviously enough that they can't not know everyone hates it, and do it anyway.

We see it everywhere in the upper echelons of power. People can be anti-semitic and go just shy of quoting the 14 words, like Elon Musk, and then because they are so rich people still have to cater to them. It's people without power trying to copy something that only works for the powerful.

They assume the Secret Liberal Truth is we all know racism etc. are the correct natural order and we're being disingenuous or mentally ill by saying we want better things for everyone. And of course anything we do, they are justified in doing. From their point of view who gives a poo poo, they're talking to someone whose entire political identity is saying lunatic things they don't mean. Of course responding in kind doesn't count.

Edit: also there's contrarians who don't actually have a real political opinion about anything, or if they do it's unknowable. At best, they have a long rear end list of things they're sincerely against and nothing they're for. Every opinion stated is calculated to piss you off and that's about it.
