Does FOX launching a Weather Channel alternative mean that any hurricane models they might provide (like the spaghetti models, for example) are going to have to be thrown in the heap of stuff we can't consider because it was presented on media liberals don't like?

Will my local news outlets be doing a Russiapublican if they report on the same European storm tracking models FOX Weather does?

I really can't wait to see how liberals politicize FOX weather against leftists.

Markey is not goof or anything but yeah him winning was the better result purely because it screwed over a Kennedy and his lovely backers. Additionally it was a good example that regardless of how much of a party player you are and whatever seniority you hold, what's really important is if you are in one of the dynastic political royalty families.

Yeah they've already done this with the Great Reset, which is something that the financial and political elites have been openly talking about and engaging in for some time now but most people who have heard of it only know it as a crazy right wing conspiracy theory. I mean look at this poo poo from the wiki on it:

quote:

It has also been disseminated by Russian propaganda outlets. According to Oliver Kamm, in an article for the CapX website: "The propaganda apparatus of the Putin regime has for many months published wild allegations from obscure bloggers that the Great Reset is code for oligarchs to amass wealth and control populations."[39]

Last year (meaning, before Biden was the presumptive nominee) he had a lot of good takes. Appeared to be generally correct and leftist, good anti-racist/anti-lgbt+-discrimination stuff, and most of his weird poo poo like grooming was generally unknown.

His weird heel-turn into an obvious liberal railing against the 'bernie or busters' was the beginning, I think, of his long slide downwards in quality.

Sort of similar to Destiny in that respect. Someone who started out dunking on right-wingers, and appearing to be an ally, eventually showing their centrist liberal colors.

Call me crazy but maybe the guy who said Tara Reade was lying about being raped for publicity shouldn't have been allowed to continue to post on these forums so that he could post further rape apologia?

Got caught up on that thread this morning because people have been talking about it here lately and Jesus Christ what a grotesque read it is, but it's such a concise embodiment of D&D

The survivors in that thread have repeatedly produced the exact kind of thoughtful, insightful, worthwhile posts that D&D as a subforum claims it is intended to produce, and that's all the more incredible given the trauma involved to the individual posters. Then you have another chunk of the thread of weirdos getting bogged down arguing arcane legal points like anybody could possibly give a gently caress, which is supposedly neutral and dispassionate but just elides the broader system at play producing these outcomes, and responding to people rightfully trying to center discussion on the forest by doubling down on more tree analysis. And then you have the absolute scum piling in, the rape-loving creeps like how are u who do their loathsome playacting for reasons I can only guess at--probably to feel some kind of sick sense of control by upsetting people

Like the interaction that really jumped out at me was within the span of like 2 or 3 pages, some plague rats made one of the most insightful posts I've ever seen on this website about the harmfulness of performative male violence in support of survivors, a post that's gonna stick with me for a long time, and then shortly after catches a bullshit probe for "shitposting" from Paul Blart stumbling fatly into the thread to defend Bill Cosby from cartoon deathwishes. Then when some plague rats expresses dissatisfaction with the probe and other posters support them, you've got Thorn Wishes Talon, a loser whose unearned smugness is only mitigated by how loving white noise his posts are otherwise, stepping in to pretend he's a mall cop deputy and lecture everyone about "adding value" and receives not even a "hey don't do this" for backseat modding or worthless shitposting

Like the sheer fuckin audacity of a garbage poster like that talking down to people who expressed more meaningful thought in single posts in that thread than that guy ever has in his whole posting career, it's just mindblowing man. But hey dweeb if you were looking for attention since you've outed yourself as lurking this thread before, here you go. Others noticed how much you suck

she's completely right and that's why the anti-kink at pride freaks are so dumb, even if you remove the element of 'it's part of queer history and nobody's actually loving on mainstreet you idiot' festivals celebrating identity and all have been, at nicest, bawdy since the old days
