The Everett Massacre was a peaceful protest of unions wherein the police started firing upon the protestors, killing several of them. It's almost as if history repeats itself

No human has ever been killed by a hammerhead shark, and there have been 17 total unprovoked hammerhead attacks on humans in the last four hundred and fifty years.

It's basically copaganda, so it has bite, but in the wrong direction.

At one point it makes a direct analogy between black people being murdered by the state and police being killed by criminals because the government made it harder to pull out their guns.

the watchmen show literally is so dedicated to its weird faux-woke thing it has no actual ideology. It made a character explicitly meant to be a KKK member to show how vigilantes are not even a full step removed from them, who also literally loved Hitler, a black guy just for a weird twist to be all 'see, there ARE other black heroes in this world's history but the racists made him...praise Hitler...' You can't call it copaganda because literally nobody in the writing room understood politics enough to be capable of any form of propaganda

Those masks do result in a reduction of oxygen intake, not because oxygen is too big to go through but because it largely blocks airflow (which is the entire point) so you get a pocket of stale air in front of your nose and mouth. It's not comparable to a balaclava or burka or whatever because it's not the same degree of filtration nor the same tight fitting on the face.

Obviously you shouldn't wear a mask 24/7, nor when there are no real reason to wear one. But in a crowded area, especially when not in the open air (such as, inside a shop for example)? Then yeah, wear the loving mask. It's definitely an annoyance but that and washing your hands regularly are how we can reduce the virulence of this disease. The sooner the pandemic is over, the sooner we can forget about the masks and go back to not washing our hands constantly like we have OCD.

I doubt even a hardcore right winger would put Obama as "worst ever" on a list. He'd be below at least Carter, if not Clinton.

Discendo Vox posted:

Fauci's genuinely been a colossal rear end in a top hat in how he's been handling all of this, by being way too visible in the press and making a large number of contradictory statements that have fed terrifying press coverage to no benefit. This needs to be recognized, even if it has been better than and generally aligned against the administration's even worse handling of the process. In any other administration he'd have been asked to resign after he appeared on an AM radio show and gave them a soundbite endorsing hydroxychloroquine based on a profound misunderstanding of clinical ethics...which is something he did back in March. Someone in Fauci's position really shouldn't be doing direct press engagements in the first place. His behavior is part of what lets Garrisson attack him, and has hurt the ability of other public health voices to address the issue or point to the administration's abdication of responsibility.

This photo gives me a disconcerting vibe. Biden's looking too directly at the camera, disconnected from the hug which the rest of the family is absorbed in. It's framed like the last shot of a TV cliffhanger, wherein we the audience realize the Bidens were fooled into rescuing the fake Joe, and his plans are ready to proceed. Tune in next week to find out if they realize their mistake in time.

It’s like a reverse pigeon hole principle. The pigeonhole principle says if you have some discrete system with x variations and you take y observations where x < y then you’ll get duplicates. In the case of Yu GI Oh cards if you have 200 cards and open 400 cards worth of packs then you’ll get duplicates.

So then he’s reversing this and saying that since we dig up multiple fossils for the same species instead of different fossils every time, we must be observing a discrete system. And if it’s a discrete system then evolution is disproven because evolution is continuous.

There’s many reasons why this argument is bad. The main one that comes to mind is that fossils just don’t happen and typically have some sort of event that causes a skeleton to be fossilized. So while the underlying evolution pattern may be continuous, the observations we have are discretized because the natural phenomena that allow us to make the observation causes that discretization. I’m sure there’s more (ie I recall that punctuated evolution was the current prevailing theory but don’t have background to know if that’s true).

The other super obvious one that the animals that represent the overwhelming majority of biodiversity on earth, insects and small of soft-bodied ocean life, don't fossilize well. There is no reason to believe that would be any different in earlier eras.

He is really becoming unhinged lately. Also Agenda 30 I think is referring to the 2030 Agenda which is related to climate change and sustainability.

This is just...what? First, I cannot think of a high-ranking democrat who has really kicked around the idea of federal prosecution. Biden is assuredly going to pull a Ford (or I guess an Obama since there will be no pardon) with some “to allow for healing” BS reasoning. Like, weren’t you critical of Bush getting off free for his crimes? I get that war crimes are way more grievous, but jesus christ Trump is nonetheless a corrupt mess who has gotten plenty of Americans killed.

Iirc it was around #6 that people started raising their eyebrows. It was so much about him rather than her, and he clearly misunderstood the doctors diagnostic questioning as judgemental. And why wouldn't a clerk tell him that? It was just such an off cartoon with even a little thought.

Before that people gave him the benefit of the doubt. But the inner Rall shows through.... He can't help but make things about him given the slightest chance.
