I remember her for two things- She got banned from Uber because she would verbally abuse Muslim/immigrant drivers She insisted that someone slashed the tires on her car, even after a bunch of car people replied to her tweets with the tire pictures saying that her tires were just worn and blew out from wear

God, it was so bizarre seeing the "no-go zones" myth get popularized, as someone whose job at the time regularly involved working with people in predominantly-Muslim neighborhoods in the Twin Cities. Like the worst I ever got was a little kid pointing at me and excitedly saying "white guy!" only to be shushed by his embarrassed mom. The collective white people myth that brown people will start chasing you down Serious Sam-style if you cross the wrong street would be hilarious to me if it wasn't so harmful.

And of course the neighborhood that her and Wohl were walking around is totally fine. All you're getting there is (was - RIP Triple Rock) some punk rock and Somali food. But her other greatest hits included: Chaining herself to Twitter headquarters and getting ignored. Hitting on a racist and getting turned down.

Been a while, but I remember that last one being incredibly pathetic, too. Didn't she say something about how good their children would be and talking about her "big tits and Ashkenazi IQ" or something to him, too? (Spoiled in case I'm wrong because it's so stupid).

Wonder how he'll pay for it: Alex Jones must pay $1.1 billion of Sandy Hook damages despite bankruptcy - court "NEW YORK, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday. Bankruptcy can be used to wipe out debts and legal judgments, but not if they result from "willful or malicious injury" caused by the debtor, according to a decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston, Texas. Courts in Connecticut and Texas have already ruled that Jones intentionally defamed relatives of school children killed in the mass shooting, and they have ordered Jones to pay $1.5 billion in damages. Lopez ruled that more than $1.1 billion of those verdicts, awarded for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, cannot be wiped away in bankruptcy. But he ruled that other parts of the verdicts, including $324 million in attorneys' fees that were awarded as punitive damages in the Connecticut case, could possibly be discharged. It was not clear whether those punitive damages were attributable to "willful" and "malicious" lies, or whether they could instead be attributed to merely "reckless" conduct, Lopez wrote. Lopez said he will hold a trial to sort out the precise amount of the damages that could be discharged. Attorneys for Jones and the Sandy Hook families did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

Carter declared the Persian Gulf an area of strategic importance to America, and by the best accounting of our time in the Mideast began the series of wars we participated in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carter_Doctrine?wprov=sfti1#Implementation It’s impossible to be a good American president, contradiction of terms.

Carter commuted G Gordon Liddy's sentence and let the fucker out of prison. Maybe that doesn't rank as high on the list of bad things but it stands out as a singularly stupid move with no good outcomes.

HootTheOwl posted:Every Dem president is the worst since Carter, the worst of all time! And increasingly the most liberal far left radical threat ever. I've been hearing for 20 years now that just one more Democratic presidential term will be the end of America. I also happened to catch Biden's speech last night on the way home from work and couldn't find anything objectionable from a Republican standpoint. Boy was I wrong. Today I learned that every single thing he said was horrible and that he loves terrorists and hates Israel and why are we spending all this money. I guess the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been forgotten. I wondered as I was listening to it exactly where and how talk radio was gonna lay into him because I couldn't pinpoint much even though I was trying and also imagined the same words being spoken by Reagan or Bush; because the speech would have gone down easily in either of those cases. I had a few problems with it from my standpoint but, as usual, they weren't the ones the RW pundits held.

They are going of on Greta Thunberg today because she posted an anti war image that had an octopus plushie in it. Which others say is a tool to help the autistic but they claim it is a 'im a secret nazi' dogwhistle. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/greta-thunberg-octopus-palestine-israel-gaza-1234859322/ "Predictably, many criticized her post for failing to condemn the terrorist group Hamas’s Oct. 7 surprise on Israel, which left at least 1,400 people dead, many of whom were civilians. Perhaps less predictably, however, others focused on the octopus, interpreting it to be a kraken, a mythical, multi-tentacled sea beast that was occasionally used in Nazi iconography." They hate her so much.

Unfortunately Greta responded by cropping out the octopus in the photo, which just serves to reinforce their belief that she was being antisemitic. Should have doubled down. If these things were such an anti Semitic image then you'd have seen Nazis in Charlottesville wearing them. How could they possibly miss out on the most benign dogwhistle since the OK hand symbol?

I'm still kind of awestruck by, especially considering how long right wing people have been going on about it, they're inability to articulate in any meaningful way what their grievance is with "woke culture", why anyone should really loving care beyond them bringing it up as a talking point at random when they seemingly have nothing else to talk about, or to even actually define "woke" other than that it apparently exists and everyone should be rejecting it. You kind of have to hand it to RWM grifters in selling people this particular grievance well and what looks to be the actual thought control being "force fed down people's throats" cause none of it makes any loving sense.

You kind of have to hand it to RWM grifters in selling people this particular grievance well and what looks to be the actual thought control being "force fed down people's throats" cause none of it makes any loving sense. This sums it up pretty well. The tweet is about critical race theory but it all falls under the same umbrella. https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1371540368714428416?t=NWYUnpxB43_jku4Y1gQ97Q&s=19 Why should anyone care? It's less about caring and more about making wokeness, a broad, nebulous topic, absolutely toxic in the discourse. "Go woke go broke", scaring lib politicians away from anything associated as 'woke' and treating it as toxic and dangerous. Solidarity for Palestinians is woke and thus so is supporting people who committed mass murder against Jews (disagree and have fun getting a decapitated charred baby corpse photo sent your way). Supporting people that have proven to have killed Jews is bad, so solidarity for Palestinians is bad, and solidarity for Palestinians is woke, so other woke things comparable to this topic can also be viewed as a threat to be smashed down. More specifically, wokeness gets seen as this subjective moral value that changes at the whims of the woke. This is why the right freaks out so much about it, in their paranoid minds a woke person can just arbitrarily decide "my opinions=good, your opinions=bad". This connects with their hostility to DEI and CRT- that some huge faceless government bureaucracy can just arbitrarily excommunicate a conservative for WrongThink and they will have no recourse.
