Yes, black barbershops do exist, but that conversation absolutely did not happen. There is no "conspiracy theory" there- the barbershop the guy took pictures in was real, but any hypothetical barbershop wherein such exchanges are said to be occurring are categorically a fabrication.

Rating: sixteen Pinocchios (how the gently caress can you have more than one Pinoccio? I agree with whoever said it should be based on the length of his nose)

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

quote:

The Wave: Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention. Now, answer as quickly as you can.

It’s your birthday. Someone gives you a calfskin wallet. How do you react?

Gavin Newsom: I don't have anything to put in it. I would thank them and move on.

TW: You've got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar. What do you do?

GN: I would tell him to… You know what? I wouldn't know how to respond. How's that for an answer? Is this a psychological test? I'm worried…

TW: They're just questions, Gavin. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response.

GN: Oh, I got you.

TW: Shall we continue?

GN: Sure.

TW: You're watching television. Suddenly you realize there's a wasp crawling on your arm. How would you react?

GN: I would quietly sit and wait for the wasp to move to the next victim.

TW: You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, Gavin, it's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back, Gavin. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Gavin?

GN: [Immediately] Not a chance. I would never flip the tortoise over in the first place.

TW: Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind. About your mother.

GN: Ethics. Commitment. Sacrifice.

CONCLUSION: Almost too close to call. Almost. Newsom displays a defensiveness when his empathy is questioned. He's aware that he's being probed for emotional responses, and even expresses concern about this. However, this concern is alleviated a little too easily by our crafty V-K interviewer. Newsom is definitely a replicant. Probably a Nexus 5.

honestly if she’d just said that she carried around hot sauce because everywhere she goes restaurants only have really lovely hot sauce so she’s just bringing her own that she likes I would have respected her more.

she’d still be a major weirdo, but like obsessive microbrew weird and not focus-tested to hell weird.

I legitimately wish we had more politicians open about their innocuous but extremely bizarre preferences for like food and stuff.

like I’d love to see a senator reveal that he puts marshmallow crème on his hot dogs and then get super defensive about it.

or like it turning out that a governor has a Spotify playlist that’s almost exclusively nightcore covers of ska songs.

a Puerto Rican theatre dork who got bullied by real rappers and shoved into lockers got so perma-wedgied that he wrote a RAP MUSICAL about the slave-owning forefathers of our shithole nation being performed by black and Latino people and they were hailed a visionary ambassador of the culture and now they have the political power of a congressman and the cultural attaché of rockstar for essentially writing an early 2000’s after school rap about how doing your homework is cool.

patrick leahy was not the best choice as an ideologically blank slate but he was in 20 years worth of Batman movies so he always comes to mind
