So uh, are they going to make it a positive portrayal of Malcom because they cast a white dude? This has the potential to be hilarious on so many levels, if it actually happens. I also enjoy how black actors keep getting cast as fictional characters in fantasy and sci-fi and the response from these piss babies is to go straight to an important civil rights leader from history recent enough for living people to remember. Just absolute smooth brain poo poo. I doubt they're actually going to go through with it though, this is just a stunt to try and get headlines to own the woke libs or whatever.

If it does though he is absolutely saying the n word and also putting on a blaccent.

I don't understand why chiropracty is, uh, legal

Parents who take their infants to chiropractors and the chiropractors who adjust them should be charged with child abuse or even attempted murder given the danger to infants. I mean the whole field should be regulated out of existence but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Not clicking on a vox article, are they concern trolling about a couple of Twitter nobodies with hammer and sickle next to their names praising him for his anti-imperialist stances? Because those are the only people I have seen on the left praising him.

But it's not about a couple of twitter nobodies, it's about an article in one of the few prominent leftist outlets in the country. Have you read the Prospect article they're talking about? Do you think they're correct that Tucker Carlson's populist appeal is something the left should seek to emulate? Do you give him credit for his "willingness to challenge and mock ruling elites [that] went alongside an obsessively nativist message that alienated viewers who might otherwise have embraced his populist perspective." You might want to make sure you agree with the Tucker Carlson apologia you are indirectly advocating.

Do you think these kinds of comparisons help or hurt efforts to build the progressive movement

Some dorks writing for the prospect may as well be Twitter nobodies for all the significant media presence leftist media has. And the framing Vox chooses to go with is telling "controversy on the left! (meaning one article got written about a thing and are getting rightfully pilloried for it)." It's just like when RWM picks up on some "loony lefty" poo poo at one college and put out an article to highlight and signal boost it and make it seem like everyone to the left of Mitt Romney agrees. And you're buying it just like the same rubes that hang in Ben Shapiro's every word. The political spectrum punches left.

I'd like to know how my decision to ignore garbage media outlets is "indirectly advocating Tucker Carlson apologia."

It was a major discussion on the internet yesterday, every political account I follow was talking about it. The editor had to issue a public apology! But if you're just going to define it down to twitter nobodies so that you're correct, there's nothing to discuss. And how do you know how it's framed if you didn't click on the article?

Sounds like you need to consider your confirmation biases. And I know how the article is framed because that is clear from the headline. It's the same poo poo as "Dems in disarray!" which is probably something you ought to recognize.

It's actually a massive problem as sometimes, for work, I need to actually phone people and have a conversation with them about whatever safety issue they've recently created. A lot of times, it will simply get ignored. And does anyone actually listen to voicemails? That's even rarer!

The lack of will to do anything about scam calls has created a situation where a fundamental means of communication has been essentially rendered useless. And, having built one or two apps based on automated voice and text, I'm not terribly surprised. You can sign up for a "local" phone number from essentially anywhere in the world in 2 minutes and be doing fuckery with it instantly, and the only check is that "if we get complaints about your number, we might look into it!"

It's actually worth it to restrict this poo poo to the point that our telephone system doesn't become an unusable, worthless hellscape.

I mean, I always listen to my messages, because 99% of the bullshit scam calls don't leave them. "If it's important, they'll leave a message." It sucks that that makes your job harder, but until these worthless motherfuckers in Congress are willing to lift a finger for consumer protections of any kind, I guess this is how it's going to be.
