Trevor Noah for the win.
If it went to Project Veritas, it’s not something that will help decent people make a better society.

Nope. But I’m curious as to what she’s been trying to say that is too much for Fox.
I always assumed there was a difference between local Fox affiliate news and FoxNews, but I have no idea.
My understanding is that affiliates aren’t as bound to the message as Big Fox, but they are still required to run certain placed content and to ignore specific awkward topics.
I believe it depends on who owns the affiliates.
If I can, I’ll look for a segment John Oliver did on it and share. (Easier than expected.)
In the case of Fox26 (KRIV) the station is owned and operated by Fox. It’s not just an affiliate arrangement.
I’ve been offline for a couple of weeks (hiking at Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon North Rim), so I don’t know if y’all have already covered this gem from everybody’s favorite Texan moron, Louie Gohmert:
The ignorance is stunning. The poor Forest Service person who had to listen to that and keep a straight face needs a raise. Lord knows if if had been me there would have been an impromptu physics class followed by a barrage of words rarely found in the congressional record.
I really think that once or twice a year the roles should be reversed, and these agencies should be allowed to call congresscritters to testify, and then they should be grilled and, if appropriate, crucified.

Yeah, that was discussed on the other thread.
Maybe if everyone ran to the edge of the earth the same time…

Interesting. I just read in The Life and Death of Planet Earth that moving the Earth is a likelier solution to the eventual expansion of the sun (during its red giant phase) than escaping it. According to the study (published in 2001, I think) we would need to install a nuclear reactor on a comet with a 100-km diameter and change that comet’s trajectory until it was in an elliptical orbit with Earth. The comet would cross our path once every 6,000 years, and we’d need to do that about a million times in order to get us as far out as Mars is now before the sun incinerates us. The study authors went to some pains to state that the risk of demolishing the earth with the comet couldn’t be overemphasized, but they said that such long term planetary engineering was “alarmingly feasible” given technologies currently (2001) under discussion. Of course we’d also have to move Mars ‘cause this town’s too small for the both of us. And there would be the issue of what to do with the moon, but…
In a word, Louis: Sure!

I thought sure it was about the sticky substance scandal.
That woman is a tremendous cunt. Also, twitter is so fucked, every time, after I have followed a link to twitter, I feel like I’ve jumped into a pool filled with shit, piss, cheap perfume, flat beer and cigarette butts.

The key is to follow the people you like. Read their posts. Don’t read the replies.

maybe hydroxychloroquine is the sticky substance?

Exactly. Avoid opposing views at all costs. Or failing that, parody them based on deliberate misunderstanding. So fun!
Go fuck yourself. How’s that for an opposing view? Where have I parodied someone based on deliberate misunderstanding?
