Typical maga loser. So sorry for the woman, standing up to fundamentalist extremists in her own family.

Damn, that means Atlas Shrugged is out too.

All these billionaire shitheads with their fallout bunkers. Starting to think that series is a futurementary.

I truly don’t like to say these but I’ve been exploring the optimal places to live, adjusting for everything like fascism-avoidance and climate change tolerance, to nuclear risk mitigation.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst right…?

I see what you mean, my bad, corrected.

No this guy.

So I was tuning into this guy another person testifying to Congress the other day by the name of Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath. Supposed neuroscientist, etc. Testifying to the effects of digital learning, pads, etc.

Something just rubbed me the wrong way about him. Especially when you see the likes of Ted Cruz talking him up.

Dude is heavily pushed by Moms for Liberty and “The Free Press” which we all know is a right-wing propaganda wing that gave us none other than Bari Weiss.

I think the play here may be that they want to isolate children from the broader world and being exposed to other viewpoints. My gut instinct is that they’re trying to construct the framework to justify isolationism and promote a Christo-Fascist society.

I say this as someone who thanks the internet (especially in earlier decades) for changing multiple generations of my family from rural conservative Republican to progressive-left. The same reason they attack publicly-funded news like NPR or PBS, or Big Bird and Mr. Rogers.

These things teach critical-thinking and kindness and make fearmongering less effective.

And so the Windows curse of every other OS release being garbage continues.

Extremely tragic, though it should be pointed out that Spain and Europe in general has far, far less traffic-related deaths, even in terms of individual automobiles let alone the much safer rail-based mode of transportation.

Ah, and therein lies the problem ladies & gentlemen.

• Ad Ignorantiam fallacy states otherwise.

• “Fake” is itself an assertion requiring evidence, independent from stating neutrality, e.g., “We don’t know whether it is true or not.”

• Also, circular-reasoning fallacy: Who says they’re extraordinary claims within the context of what we already know?

Unverified? Yes. Corroborating some of what we already know? Also yes.

Proven fake? Definitely not. That is unless you are to believe the word of Republicans and Trump.

lmao this kid saw, “Russia if you’re listening,” the Mueller reporter (did not exonerate), numerous Trump cabinet members imprisoned for speaking to Russian spies, Krasnov and Steele dossier, Trump flying to Moscow in 80s only to within weeks upon return out a full page ad abolishing NATO in 3 major newspapers, saw the hand-delivered letter flown to Moscow by Rand Paul on behalf of Trump; saw numerous GOP Congressmen fly over to Moscow to have private meetings on 4th of July no less.

… And apparently cannot connect the dots lmao.

Putin couldn’t be happier by this chaos and distraction from Ukraine. Investment paying off.

Such is the point. There’s a reason Donnie started his first term so aggressively picking fights with Canada and Norway. Fulfilling Putin’s wish.

Also diverts attention from Ukraine.

Not the first time fuckwit has done this, as article notes. Just saber-rattling bullshit. Usually means Russia is desperate.

Your point is completely valid but what’s scary to me is that very much in name of, “Info Wars” and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, perception becomes reality.

In short, they know they fully in control of the biggest megaphones of media and so can mold reality however they like

Is that the same as Intouchables? If so, I loved that film!

Oh man, tough…

• Cinema Paradiso
• Amelie
• The Spanish Apartment

All come to mind first.

Sven co-op was so fun! I thought it as so freaking cool at the time to be able to do that.
