There were a lot of interesting elements in Rogue One that mostly sat around in the background, doing nothing

Rogue One was supposed to kick off a series of related stories that weren’t necessarily the primary skywalker story. The bunch of things in the background were seeds planted to be picked up in subsequent movies. But then Solo sucked rear end and tanked and they got scared and pulled the plug. Only now are we getting it in the form of the mandalorian

The president is trying his damnedest to invalidate the election he lost.

CTH has royally hosed up by minimalizing Trump’s in-progress coup attempt by arguing how he’s not ~really~ a fascist because he hasn’t pulled it off yet, ergo their Twitter opinions are totally correct.

The Brand is being contrarian, I get it, but there’s a modicum of responsibility towards acknowledging this is a well and truly hosed up political event and they aren’t meeting it.

It's important for doctors to know that it's not worth working in the field. Stop being a doctor, there is no life saving going on it's all just bullshit. You get the pleasure of a disease spitting hog saying how much they want to kill you before they're put down with drugs that will cost extra on the bill. It's not worth saving human life, the pay isn't worth living in a permeant plague zone.

Yep, this is the reality we're living in. The Republicans are happy to have Biden in power, because Biden is basically a Republican and they can work with him. The Republican party now has control of the executive, judiciary, and 1/2 of the legislative houses.

Eh most doctors aren’t brilliant.

It’s like everything else. There are a few stupid people who skate by on luck/connections/money, there are a few truly exceptionally smart people, and then there’s the average mass. It’s the same thing in sciences, not every person with a physics PhD is Lev Landau or Paul Dirac.

The only thing you can say about ‘most doctors’ is they come from wealth for obvious reasons.

Med student here, and yeah, pretty much.

Here in SA we have a few highly regarded public medical universities like the USP in Brazil and UBA in Argentina. They are insanely hard to get into, though, and even harder to leave with a degree. Those that do fall in two camps: the "I survived this gauntlet so now I am entitled to every drat privilege!" crowd, and the "Whew I amanged to do this and be free of debt! Time to do the best I can now" people.

When it comes to private med schools, yeah, they select for the moneyed kids that are stubborn/dedicated enough and want the validation and social authority as much as the money. Though recently they have been losing those to financial jobs, which don't require nearly as much effort and where you can mess up with far less repercussions.

I don't follow Greenwald on a daily basis. I've never seen any of his appearances on Tucker Carlson. Can someone explain why D&D thinks that the gay anti-Bolsonaro journalist is a Trumpian Neo-Nazi?

Because he has an extreme contrarian streak, melts down on Twitter every second of every day about free speech in a Bari Weissian manner, goes on Tucker Carlson and apparently parrots transphobic misinformation in his new substack. Glenn is a guy who has done incredibly important journalism and is also an idiot in many other ways.

GG is one of the rare true left-libertarian guys and he had some strange takes in the mid 00’s.

Libs hate him because he’s rude, very petty, and will absolutely poke at people he doesn’t like in public and embarrassing ways.

There’s also the reality winner mess but a lot is lost in appending blame from that to anyone other than RW theirselves.

he has incredible poster's brain. he'll get in the replies with an account that has 1K followers if it posts at him. he is 24/7 Mad Online. I'd say it's a bit, because it does seem to drive interest in his substack or whatever, but I don't think he does it in a calculated way

he and a couple others I generally agree with on stuff / think are smart are starting to drift in a way I can't totally describe but find unsettling. him being so fixated on the hunter biden laptop story that it caused him to leave the intercept, for example

glenn at his heart is a genuine libertarian which means he is just a little bit stupid to begin with, especially with a general hardline 'all speech is worth defending' bend which normally is fine and good but since I do think he kinda just enjoys being contrarian this tends to lead to him taking some dumb cancel culture kinda takes.

Now, the reason he's like that is because for the crime of 'accurately reporting on US government abuses' he was blackballed by most of the media (hence him going on Tucker, he's literally one of the only people that will have him) so as much as I hate the cancel culture types I'm pretty loving forgiving of him leaning to 'maybe we shouldn't be letting media elite decide what's okay to say' as a default view.

Also he was very vocal about the russiagate poo poo being dumb so that made him almost as hated as he was for saying 'it's bad that we torture and kill people'.

His Intercept meltdown was really loving dumb though, even if I agree with him that it's insane that we're just not allowed to have any journalistic curiosity about Hunter's poo poo him posting an editor being all 'right but you need actual sources to make these claims otherwise it's just an op-ed' as some big proof of conspiracy was real funny.

Oh yea and the Reality Winner stuff was kinda shady but to be honest I don't know if anyone could have saved Reality from getting caught after using a government computer and all. It sucks and Glenn/The Intercept as a whole probably could have done a pinch more but...yea RW was fairly hosed no matter what.
