His career highlights include being outed for reporting fake Star Trek leaks designed specifically to catfish him and him alone, being outed as maybe also having a straight up no joke over-the-top-for-a-Wolfenstein-game SS cosplaying Nazi alt persona, and then being thrown out of QAnon, But For Television's inner clique of rear end in a top hat nerds for being an easily duped liar who also might be a literal un-crypto crypto fascist. Your YouTube recommendations have my sympathies.

McNaughton is sad because i normally like that style of art but his art is all weird psychotic poo poo. while garrison gives life to the dumb online meme culture of the chud sphere. McNaughton paints the idealized world of the chuds.

The people who see Trump as a kind, self-sacrificing, and principled crusader for all that is good are weird and disconcerting in a way than people who like him for being an rear end in a top hat to people they dislike are not, I think.

Yeah it's because it's even more detached from reality than the Garrison stuff because of its realistic style. Trump trying to clean the flag while seeming despondent over it is so much more fantastical than anything Garrison has put out.

If we had a 100% estate tax, I could safely assume all graduates have more or less equal qualifications when considering a candidate. When I see a name like "Sebastian Rockefeller III," I must ask myself whether this individual only got in as a legacy admission or because daddy donated a new building.

William Bear posted:It's a dramatic image, but it seems the inevitable result of AmCon's utilitarian and simplified approach to evangelism, where the emphasis of human dignity and the acting of divine grace in Christianity is set aside in favor of a pure numbers game. Liberal Evangelical blogger Fred Clark once said it reduced the gospel to a self-replicating computer virus, or "Amway without the soap". Thank you for this link. I found it very enlightening.

Caught a bit of Glenn Beck when I went to pick up my car from the shop. "There's no such thing as price gouging, it's just pricing! Who cares that people were charging 8 dollars for a bottle of water after a disaster, I pay that much for a bottle of water at the ball park! Anyway, price gouging is actually good because it increases supply, if Joe the next state over goes 'I have four cases of water, I'm going to go to where they have no water and charge them 8 dollars a bottle' now there's more water there!" Then I had to hear a bit of Fox News, where they were attacking Biden for "rushing to get us out of Afghanistan" and how now the Taliban is taking over and terrorism is winning due to Biden foolishly pulling us out. They also talked a bit about how "The left must be very sad today because Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to 30 months in prison, he was their hero back in 2018."

He’s not what he used to be but he’ll never really go away as long as he’s breathing. Getting kicked off of FOX did a number on him. Around 2016 there were rumors that The Blaze was going to go under but obviously that didn’t happen.

So Biden is signing stuff to crack down on non-compete clauses being used to screw over labor and depress wages/mobility. I can't wait to hear how "BIDEN DID A THING! THING BAD! THING SOCIALISM!" attempts to explain that, no, really, silicon valley shotgunning non-competes and hitting sub-contractors that scrub toilets or some poo poo is actually a good thing.

Remember when Beck started doing traveling stage shows and telling everyone he was going to go blind in a month so he needed lots and lots of donations from his fan base so he could gaze longingly at what money looks like one last time before the darkness took him? Or when he tried to raise money to buy a lake in Montana and build his own private Rapture Disneyland in the middle of it?

By either saying "Watch the video on my site later if you want to see it all mapped out" or just saying he'll save it for his internet show. Anyway it was Pat and Jeffey talking about how price gouging is good, Glenn might be on vacation or something since I didn't hear him talking.

Beck has always been a transparent grifter. His first media thing was pretending to be chronically ill and complaining about how poo poo the medical system was. Then after Trump got elected he thought he could rush to the middle and started some sort of joint thing with Samantha Bee (who sucks) but that didn't last and now he's back to right-wing grifting.

Twelve by Pies posted:On one hand I can see SCOTUS not wanting to set a precedent to allow leftists to sue right wing social media platforms for getting banned for posting leftist politics. On the other hand if SCOTUS rules that Twitter and Facebook can't ban right wing people for their views, why would other right wing social media need to exist? Because then they can post all the insane batshit idiocy without retort and get plenty of "You're right" whereas on open social media they have to read sane people pointing out just how rabidly insanely stupid their points are
