Nice to see she's wearing a facemask, just a pity the slogan is so ridiculously wrong. How did this idiot get elected again?

kingdragonfly: Very well written article

I hadn't heard of FiveThirtyEight.

They're associated with American channels ABC News and ESPN. ESPN is rarely political, though through complaints about racist sport announcers now actively chooses ones with better views.

ABC news is generally average. They occasionally produce some stirring news pieces, but generally just rehash existing pieces.

A good reference for this is the media bias chart. You can find FiveThirtyEight down a bit below CNN on the chart. Note that it changes over time as reporting trends change.

I can't see the BBC on there.

I am well aware that extremists are not rational or consistent, but I have to wonder about the anti-Semitism being espoused by these morons. I am thinking in particular of Congresswoman Taylor Greene but also the whole Q-stupid movement. These people claim to love Trump but do any of them actually realise that Ivanka is Jewish? Do they know she is married to Kushner? Do they understand that he swears on the Tanakh? How do they reconcile their anti-semitic rhetoric with the strong Jewish influence on the family they seem to think will overthrow the deep state cabal of child molesting cannibals? Are they really that fu*king dumb or is there something else going on here?

Fixed that for you.

...In an official statement to The Hollywood Reporter, a Lucasfilm spokesperson revealed that Gina Carano's firing was a move long in the making. Her recent tweets on the Capitol Hill riots served as the last straw.

Why quote her drivel? It doesn't add anything meaningful and just gives oxygen to it.

neb: Apropos of nothing, as a scientist I have trouble dealing with irrational thinking. Until I saw the videos of people stating how surprised they were that there weren't mass arrests of cannibal pedophiles or whatever it is they believe in, I just assumed... well, it was some sort of nonsense that no-one paid much attention to. I didn't realise that people actually, genuinely believed that Trump was waging a secret war against whatever. It was so outlandish and ridiculous that I couldn't conceive anyone would actually swallow that stuff, until I saw the videos of people who did.

Or cop a load of this clown (not QAnon, but in the same, uh, "space), thinking he has an army of "365 million armed patriots ready to "rise up.": https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/15/politics/capitol-riot-oath-keepers-stewart-rhodes-soh/index.html

Really? All 365 million Americans back him and his ridiculous crap? Or maybe he's meaning his 50-odd gun-loving friends and all of Russia in that total. Wait, would that even be 365 million? I dunno.

Hilarious conspiracy theory - power is out in Texas because "libruls are using wind farms" and because the Biden government is on to them. Twitter bellow or thread in one page here.

That is classic! Also tragic. Laugh until I cry. Maybe the brother with the brain could transplant some brain cells to the other one!
