He didn't have an asterisk.  (e: good username for the observation, though!)It is kind of amazing that McCain is the only dead person on the list. Plenty of good dead people have hosted SNL, like Phil Hartman, Brittany Murphy and Chadwick Boseman.

I feel like its kind of unkind to include Paris Hilton in the lists of profoundly vapid 'celebrities'. According to various sources, she was a fairly normal kid who loved animals and outdoors life, who was sent to an abusive 'correctional facility' for insufficiently Christian children. She inherited a decent sum from her shitbag grandpa which she parlayed into an enormous fortune. She's one of the few who got Vietnamese potbellied pigs back in the day who actually took care of them when they grew up and got big and difficult. Basically, she plays a shallow Gobshite character 'Paris Hilton' but is actually a perfectly competent person otherwise.

DarklyDreaming posted:Contrast Segal who is one of the most notorious prima-donnas in Hollywood and frequent Gibson collaborator Jim Caviezel who is literally and unironically a danger to himself and others It's weird... My dad told me a story about his experiences in Toronto in the early 00's when he was basically homeless. Now, I suppose he could have made it up, or he misremembered, or changed details, but my dad never struck me as a deliberate liar, at worst he'd be mistaken or misremember. Anyway, he managed to walk onto two movie sets because they failed to completely seal them up, and one of them was Exit Wounds. According to my dad, he didn't think anything was amiss because all the cameras and people were concealed in a building, and due to that my dad walked right through a live take of the film. He apparently saw Steve, and said "Hi Steve." in a sort of general firm tone, and Seagal responded with "How are you sir?" and my dad walked on. It really clashes with the concept that Seagal is so up his own rear end he's a living mobius strip that he'd be so laid back about some random person walking into a live take of the film he was currently filming, but who knows? Maybe he was in a real good mood that morning. Maybe he had smoked a shitton of weed. I don't know, it was just a story he told me and my dad wasn't the type to make poo poo up wholesale. Whether it happened as he said, who knows? I just find the ideafunny that while Seagal is an utter prick to virtually everyone he was polite to my dad and took him walking into a take on his film in stride.

Only the future will tell how this is going to work out, but when I spoke to my Mom on Monday I managed to cut through an awful lot of bullshit. I accepted any and all help of getting therapy. I also batted down a lot of horseshit in a way that I wasn't even aware I had been so prepared for. I'm going to share the best examples that brought the attacks to a stop, and contemplate the mindset I was dealing with. This is gonna be different for everybody, as it depends on the number and kind of worms may be present. The best part was early on, when she accused me of "changing" early this year. I just busted out laughing. "Really? You think? Gee! I wonder, Mom. Can you think of anything, anything at all, that might have occurred let's say sometime in January, that got me shook as gently caress?" In the end the main issue seemed to be dealing with accusations of being awful due to bringing up the cursed subject of politics. What, are we just going to have no relationship because I don't agree with you on everything? Typical martyrdom/deflection, I didn't humor it at all. I said as long as the guy who lost the election still has a chance of taking power back and ending our democratic republic once and for all, you all are going to have to confront this with me. You have stifled my opinions for six years. The major pushback here was really just another form of deflection from the main issue: Well what am I supposed to do about any of that? She was very insistent that I provide a solid plan for how this is supposed to go. I just ignored that line of question and went socratic. Well, how do you expect someone to react to news like this in an environment where their own family refuse to allow any such talk. Why is that? Is your peace of mind worth my sanity? When the animals are cornered and lash out, do I want to arm myself down here alone or do I want to know that you guys are with me. Just to really find out where she stood, I talked her through the Iran hostage crisis, to Reagan, to the Iran/Contra deal. I asked her if they were at all aware of the Watergate hearings and who did they root for? Nixon?? At that point she told me my problem is I am too smart for my own good. Is that a compliment? But I told her it is local elections, school boards, election boards, where we need to root out the people who are only running on the lie that Trump lost, because they will be the ones overturning the 2022 mid-terms and the 2024 elections. At one point she mentioned George Soros and I told her I need like ten minutes to lay that nonsense to rest and I'm ready when she is. She said she only watches Fox and Friends. So I am going to find out how she feels about Brian Kilmeade knowing all about Trump attempting a coup and texting Mark Meadows to tell Trump to stop. And to drop a fat cherry on this: I suspected Dad was losing it but they kept me in the dark with the help of the pandemic. My father indeed has advanced dementia. He got lost last week trying to drive to the hardware store. He can't remember we are off DST. I've never felt more conflicted in my life because, like my sister, I hate the man. and yet I love him too. And I am weeping for what this is going to put Mom through. This sort of death is too nice for him, and now he gets to go to the end of his life dominating our lives. Ok that was a lot. Fact is, Mom and I are back on good terms and somehow that was almost enough. Mark Meadows has willingly provided the rest. I feel a LOT better today. Thank you for being there for me and not roasting me to death during my bout of mania. I literally could not think of much else. Now I can.

Been following you, good doctor, and I hope you feel better. Those kinds of dialogues can be hard and not very fruitful, but when people are talking who care about each other, sometimes everyone takes a second to think about their audience. Not going to lie, if the frustration is all consuming, therapy may be effective. Couldn't hurt to try, I guess. I find talking with my family who disagree with me easier over email. We can discuss difficult things, even emotionally, and not have to instantly react. Gives you time to build arguments and link sources if that makes your feel better.

Adam Kinzinger, the only other GOP member of the committee, would become contributors at liberal network MSNBC after they left office. Sean Hannity posted:In his monologue, Hannity called himself an “honest, straightforward person” and said the release of the text messages was a “weak attempt” by Cheney “to smear yours truly and, presumably, President Trump.”

Had to go to Danville today for an errand and saw someone flying a Let's Go Brandon flag. Apparently Glenn Beck is also selling Let's Go Brandon socks on his site, complete with a pooping butt on them (in honor of Biden's visit to the Pope, you see). Anyway today on Clay and Travis was a shitload of transphobia. Apparently there's something about a trans woman swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania? They're claiming that nobody in the mainstream media is reporting about it, even saying that ESPN is remaining completely silent on it despite their claim that there is an intersection between sports and politics (using C&B's phrasing there). Which, if ESPN is being silent on it, is indeed pretty hosed up, because they should be completely supportive of trans rights.

And I am really breathing a lot more easily. The speed with which the 1/6 Cmte is dropping straight nukes tells me it's going to start hitting the CHUDs in the feels pretty soon, and the worst of them are very armed and very dangerous. I can live with that, now. Even the most cynical of you validated my concerns and this was precisely what I needed. In the meantime I gots benzos and prozac to keep my blood from gettin angried-up. Best part, during all of this I did not drink. I really really wanted to. I have you all to thank, so please accept them as I am most grateful. I wish I had known of that tread before, I would have probably taken all of this there. I still think it's on-topic because I am 100% convinced what I just experienced is a) one of the better outcomes out there and b) has been simmering ever since RWM really exploded, which I wan to credit to Rush but I haven't studied any of it. I think Rush is actually where my Dad got his daily dose of talking points. I'll work out the rest of my recovery with you folks over in the politics is personal thread when needed. If you celebrate, Merry Christmas. If you don't Happy Holidays, and Be Well. I am wishing a much better year for all of us, sometime in 2022.

E: Apparently Brandon Brown had nothing to do with the genesis of the meme and has not stated an opinion on it one way or another, and from the look of it, is apparently actively losing sponsors from companies who think he's tarred by mere association now, so yeah he probably IS sick of it by now himself too. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Dec 17, 2021 |

Aaaaahahahahahahha “Fox possessed countervailing evidence of election fraud from the Department of Justice, election experts, and Dominion at the time it had been making its statements,” the judge wrote. “The fact that, despite this evidence, Fox continued to publish its allegations against Dominion, suggests Fox knew the allegations were probably false.” This is the one for $1.6 Billion. https://twitter.com/business/status/1471671761389424640 OgNar fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Dec 17, 2021 |

Fox's parent company apparently owns $22bn in assets so I'm sure they can afford the price tag, but it will at least be more significant than the usual $30k fine for a multi-billion company. Assuming whichever judge takes this case doesn't then reduce the damages.

Everyone who gets to the level of wealthy Rupert Murdoch is all have the same flavor of brain-worms: a complete and utter obsession towards making Big Number into Bigger Number. Doing something illegal, getting sued for it and getting a result that makes Number Less Big by an amount significant enough for them to actually feel is probably quite a severe punishment in their minds.

I saw an article about the trans swimmer; I think it was in the Washington Post. It was definitely somewhere "mainstream". However, the reporting was (as one would probably expect) just "a trans swimmer won some meets/qualified for the Olympics/whatever" and not "MEN ARE TAKING OVER WOMENS SPORTS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSES" so in their opinion, the real issue wasn't covered, but it's out there. I'm sure ESPN covered it, too.
