@Kirabug Those who see it as such are telling on themselves. But we already knew that.

@KanaMauna @Green_Footballs @morgfair Yes, when you wish for something so hard that you can't see any other possible outcome.

Six(!) more people in my circle of friends came down with Covid this weekend.

It’s still with us, folks.

@skry @Green_Footballs @morgfair
I don't have a link but I read last week that levels are pretty high in NYC wastewater right now. Because folks with positive tests aren't reporting if they're not so sick they're in the hospital, waste water is our only good measure of infection levels.

@karlauerbach While we're on this topic, I'll say that radio news doesn't sound like news without the teletype noise in the background.

Where are you on the political scale? Please boost wildly!* 😃​

(*) Yes I mean Wildly not just widely

@Caiotekit Hmm, I was doing just that earlier tonight. After catering a wedding on Saturday, I have an abundance of cheeses, salami, and crackers that I've been "working" on.

He’s not wrong:

“over the last 15 to 20 years, there are now incredibly powerful media companies who masquerade as journalists and who have, quite literally, hijacked journalistic privileges for their own personal gain and agenda. It’s an unbelievably dangerous place”.

Guess who's pulling out all the stops to chill academic researchers from studying the spread (and spreaders) of online disinformation?

Rep. Jim Jordan, GOP allies amplify scrutiny of top disinfo researchers - The Washington Post wapo.st/45S8Tli (gift link)

These are just a small subset of examples of Russia accusing the US of developing bioweapons to target specific ethnicities. It’s one of the most common but also most specific Russian disinformation narratives in this area, and it can be traced at least as far back as Operation Denver, when Russia orchestrated an extensive disinformation campaign accusing the US of creating HIV as a bioweapon.

This is an anti-American campaign that Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. are spreading.

@LouisIngenthron I wonder how well it works. In my case I instantly close the tab or on a smartphone, hit the "back" function. I figure they don't want me to look at their web page, so I don't.

Astrud Gilberto has died. One of the musical styles that defined my generation was bossa nova. The most famous song in that style is The Girl from Ipanema. The song was written by Joao Gilberto, who is considered the father of bossa nova. Astrud was his wife.

The Girl from Ipanema is sung by Astrud, a girl who is not a professional singer. How did this happen? On the day the song was recorded, the intended singer didn't show up and Joao asked Astrud to have a go at it. The result is epic because the song benefits enormously from her innocent, ordinary, non-flashy singing.

Is it some kind of fad now that web sites have to have a video that plays automatically, blasting out, scaring the crap out of you, and waking up everyone around you?

Conservative parents are like "Yes my child is totally straight, I just need to shield their sensitive eyes from any books and/or rainbows because I know for a fact that will immediately turn them gay. The kid is straight as an arrow though."

Governor DeSantis used fraud and deception to lure vulnerable people from San Antonio and dump them in a remote island community that scrambled to care for them.

This was human trafficking — and the people who perpetrated this crime must be held responsible.

Please help us in Ohio. We have a special election Aug 8 to drown democracy and need help to drive turnout to vote NO on their scheme to make it almost impossible to get citizen led issues on the ballot.
Please go to postcardstovoters.org and choose the Ohio campaign!
WE NEED YOU!!
This will help protect choice in November! The August election is a way for our corrupt Rs to subvert democracy.

Pretty neat how Jack saw Elon make an ass out himself and decided that, instead of using the opportunity to rebrand himself the smart one, he would loudly declare "I also have shit for brains" and endorse an anti-vax grifter nepobaby for President.
