I'm comin' for you, colonel.



I’ve been thinking lately - Dominion sued Fox, and the poo poo found in discovery was so embarrassing and damning that Fox settled for close to $800 million to keep it all of court, and to hedge against $1.5 billion in stated damages.

Why don’t they (or any of the numerous corporations that get slandered daily like Disney) go after and crush all these shitbag YouTubers? Clearly not sunglasses selfie guy with 20 followers, but like Ben Shapiro? His outfit is as big (if not bigger) a problem than Fox, and the actual guys talking are sitting on a pile of wealth. And they’re definitely dumber about covering their tracks and maintaining deniability than Fox.

Not to cheer for corporations but if it’s corporations vs. fascists I’ll begrudgingly root for corps.

I had to look up that it was a thing that happened and I’m sure they would be using an edited version of the episode. Also, it really seems like all shows from the 70s-90s were super homophobic. I mean they sure beat that horse to death but I still think Friends is a greater offender.

because those are ben's opinions and you can't be sued over opinions

in the real world it's just like alex jones: we know his listens aren't hearing it that way. just like how trump's value is directly tied to who he's talking to, their opinions are very much tied to who they're talking to. on their shows their opinions are of a genius political operator with years of experience and a great thinker with a pure outlook and skill set needed to get to the very TRRRRRUTH so his opinions have the very weight of political zeus himself!! but in court he's just a widdle iddle baby boy saying stuff and assuring his audience that it's just his widle opinion.

There was a certain point for me with HIMYM, maybe halfway through Season 3 or so? where I realized that Ted is a giiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant rear end in a top hat. I was never able to go back to it; even if Ted was only weird/a jerk in S1/S2, its too late now.

Required by his programming!
yeah i don't think ben actually has an audience outside of twitter, and even on twitter it's a fairly restricted part of the site. twitter as a whole is currently enabling a ton of people who are going to have a really hard time transferring their audience, even relatively harmless or fun people like dril. he tried to move to bluesky and more or less got bounced because people called him a cop, and per ACAB dril now sucks. no don't ask me to explain this, i'm as confused as anyone by it.

you saw a lot of this even with trump after he started troofin' instead of tweetin'. his reach on a stereotypical verbal ejaculation is way less simply because the platform in question doesn't have hundreds of thousands of bots mixed in with hundreds of thousands of compulsive doomscrollers, all juicing up his algorithm numbers and feeding into perceptions.

it'll be a good day when twitter finally dies since it'll reveal exactly how many of these nazi lickspittles were shouting mostly at an algorithm that enabled them, not an actual audience that liked them.

Mike Johnson (probably): Everyone loves phone cards from the 90s and early-2000s! That one kid/traveling companion/my one Black friend/whatever used one. Think of the budget like that. Every two months or so, the President needs to ask Congress - his responsible Christian parents - to add more minutes.
