I figured I couldn't get into this because "you have to know a lot about twitter" is kind of a barrier but those jokes about the bill buckley solo firing line episodes and him dressing up as nero while everyone else was learning how to box were loving perfect, I had tears streaming down my face. Alt-right giamatti was just icing on the cake.

One of the McElroy bros does a medical history podcast with his doctor wife and after Hillary collapsed on 9/11 she did an episode on pneumonia that was mostly just an excuse to defend/shill for Hillary. At one point she argued that the founding fathers had smallpox and FDR had polio so if you criticise Hillary for being sick then you hate America and the fact that she was out there at all when she was sick shows how STRONG she is and :downswords:

They've always been pretty critical though it doesn't come up often.

I think one of the guests recently put it more plainly and the boys agreed that Jill Stein and the Greens tend to run just for the highest office and largely ignore the down ballot races that would actually do way more than a vanity run for the White House. Also that she's a anti vaxxer nut.

Why do people still repeat the thing about Jill stein being anti vaccine, all the hand wringing was based on a Reddit AMA where she said "vaccines work but we should be skeptical of lobbyists influence on the FDA" and then every time since then shes clarified more directly that she's pro-vaccine

quote:

I have a whole book on toxic threats to child development. It’s called In Harm’s Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development, that I wrote with other health experts at Physicians for Social Responsibility when I was doing this stuff. This was published in, I believe it was 2000, by Physicians. It’s available on the web for free as a public interest research tool — actually as an organizing tool, in fact, for communities to help defend themselves against true toxic threats to child development. We did not even list vaccines as an issue. That’s the reality, that there is not solid evidence that points to vaccinations.

quote:

To speak to this more, there are two issues here.

One is whether or not vaccines are a threat. They’re not, not by any evidence that we have.

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA), on the other hand, is perfectly capable of being corrupted, and there are examples of poor regulation by the FDA. This is certainly underscoring public distrust. We’re saying, “Well, the way to shore up faith in vaccines is to clean up the FDA and our other regulatory agencies.”

She was trying to court the anti vax crowd early on, and the clarifications came when she was called out for very cynically trying to fence sit on the issue.

iirc the wi-fi stuff wasn't as dumb or funny as 'wifi beams scramble the kid's brains through radioactivity. It was more like 'aw well you know the kids get the ipad and hte iphone and the facebook and the myspace and it messes up their attention spans and they can't concentrate on the school and this whole country's goin down the drat drain'

Dr. Stein said in response to a question about wireless internet in schools: “We should not be subjecting kids’ brains especially to that… We don’t follow that issue in this country, but in Europe, where they do, they have good precautions around wireless, maybe not good enough.” What precautions should be taken around wireless internet and why?


What actually happened is that a parent raised concerns about the possible health effects of WiFi radiation on developing children, and I agreed that more research is needed. It may surprise many people that over 200 scientific experts in the field have called for more research into the health effects of radiation from devices like cellphones and WiFi, especially on developing children, and a number of countries have banned or restricted these technologies in schools. These concerns were amplified by a recent National Institutes of Health study that provided “some of the strongest evidence to date that such exposure [to the type of radiation emitted from cell phones and wireless devices] is associated with the formation of rare cancers…”

lol I like this one better, let's just stop using pesticides and see what happens, it's called the precautionary principle

quote:

Dr. Stein has called for a moratorium on GMOs and pesticides. How would this work? Does it apply to all GMOs or just some?
We would enact a moratorium on new genetically modified organisms being introduced into our ecosystems, including our agricultural system and our food supply, until independent research free from industry influence shows decisively that GMOs are not harmful to human health or to the health of our ecosystems. This is called the Precautionary Principle, and it is used in countries in the European Union, but not in the United States. We should also phase out the use of GMO foods currently being grown, unless independent research shows decisively that GMOs are not harmful to human health or ecosystems.

At roughly 9:00 AM, I saw a yellow wrapper from Whataburger lying on the carpet from the previous day. Everything surrounding the wrapper turned pitch black and the wrapper started to pulsate and blink. First, it became a luminous gold color. The gold promptly faded into a brilliant white hue that nearly blinded me. After about 5 seconds, this went away. At this instant, standing in the place of the small wrapper was a small creature, with which I would become very close during the remainder of the experience.

The creature was approximately 1 foot tall and 1 foot wide – Jill Stein with the face of a bird. On her short, round body, she wore an oversized, dark gray cloak. The sleeves reached down past her hands (which I never saw) and dragged behind her as she walked. Actually, the bird Jill Stein did not walk, she slowly dragged/limped around, indifferent to my presence. Her face was similar to that of an eagle. Her head was pasty white and she had three large yellow feathers sticking out on either side of her head, serving as whiskers. I was not afraid or at all startled by the bird Jill Stein. In fact, she was welcome in my room, which by now was a large Greek temple made from marble. She paced about the temple, seeming to contemplate something. I felt very sorry for the bird Jill Stein, as she seemed to be very troubled at the time.

A good portion of the publicity the Greens get are people trying to convince themselves that the Democratic Party cannot fail, it can only be failed.

I missed Felix on the human rights law discussion as foreign atrocities supported by the US seems to be his favorite topic to discuss besides mediocre US pundits and MMA.
