^^^ It helps to keep people honest.

On fracking: how did we go from "we need to find renewable sources of energy" back in 2007-08 to "gently caress it dude, let's find another source of energy from the ground" today? (That's a rhetorical question, don't answer it)

On Nate Silver: If Bill Simmons contaminates 538, Nate should jump ship.

On Pele: Ooo, can't wait to see who he picks and will subsequently poo poo the bed because of it. (He picked Colombia in 1994 and one of their players got shot by a druglord for failing.)

That's exactly it- every other morning program basically follows the Today Show's lead, and he was responsible for their descent into pure inanity.

If there was a healthcare plan based only on Biblical principles, it would somehow be the highest selling plan with the people in this country.

I don't know, the Old Testament prophets were pretty heavy on the idea of social justice, and bleeding people dry for the sake of a profit was a pretty good way for some good old-fashioned YHWH Wrath to be rained down upon your kingdom.

And let's not even get started on how the Republicans would bitch and moan about socialism if we tried to institute a year of Jubilee.

If that food stamp story from a few weeks ago taught us anything, it's that conservatives will desperately search everywhere for a golden goose that confirms some aspect of their deluded rhetoric, then pimp it relentlessly as though it proves them indelibly correct.

From a quick glance at twitter, it seems like most people are using the hashtag to make fun of it.

I confess I like the one user who then claimed that Jonathon Swift wanted to eat babies #CancelSwift.

I was thinking about that just now, as I'm slowly reading a thread in PYF and it got derailed into EBT food chat. They never actually said how much that lobster cost. Just "OMG LOBSTER!" and left everyone to assume its rich peoples food. That lobster was really small and pre cooked. I know I grew up in Nova Scotia, one of the main exporters of Lobster in the world, but that lobster would easily cost like 4-5 bux in the grocery store I worked at during university. Now yes, I know lobsters can go for a lot more, but those lobsters are big and fresh, and taken from the premium catches. There's lots of lobsters that are scrubs that are sold cheaply.

Suey Park is your typical #Hashtag slacktivist. She doesn't actually do anything but that doesn't stop her from constantly retweeting screenshots of #CancelColbert trending as if she's won some huge victory, even though the majority of those retweets appear to be people attacking her.

There wasn't a racial issue until she decided to make it a racial issue, and then when she gets some nasty responses from some admittedly nasty people out there, she decides to paint whole entire groups as her enemies - white men, white women, Colbert fans, progressives, I even saw her going after Asian men in one tweet. Which pretty much makes her a hypocrite, in addition to not getting satire.

All people like her do is stir up race issues instead of fixing anything.

Wasn't there a segment on The Colbert Report years ago where Stephen did a dumb little imitation of a Chinese person drinking tea? I think he got some weird little praise from it, probably from a Chinese-American organization but I'm not sure.

Anyways, that #CancelColbert hashtag is still just plain dumb.

More accurately, the tweet on its own removes the context that made the bit work, and comes off as really racist. It was really dumb for them to take a joke that doesn't work without context and put it in a medium where it's incredibly easy for context to be missed.

Either way, if you're a SJW spamming that hash tag all over Twitter, not knowing the context at this point has to be willful ignorance, right?
