Thursday Stuff


Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report discusses an alleged study about cats on college campuses and how that’s supposed to help with stress... a typically tone-deaf response from this network on what kids deal with in the cost of education including housing, books, trying to hold down a job while in school...you name it (and when this hairdo in the blue dress says kids need to get slapped, another one of these harpies chimes in with “good point” – the violence used to be hidden with a thin veneer of sorts, but Trump made everything “right” for them so now it’s all out in the open...NSFW/H)...



...and I’ve been waiting for someone to present a story about red state crime with the treatment that the Roger Ailes BS Factory routinely gives to similar stories in blue states (quick cuts, scary pronouncements whether they’re real or not, all kinds of dramatic graphics, etc.), and to his credit, Chris Hayes does that here, along with more evidence that crime is indeed a nationwide problem, but it actually is statistically worse in red states, as Dem gubernatorial candidate in Oklahoma Joy Hofmeister, among others, has pointed out...



...and speaking of red states, props to this librarian in Columbia, Tennessee for saying she was never sexually assaulted at a drag show, but twice at a church (sorry to hear – hope the perpetrators were prosecuted for it), and also saying that we should be leaving the gays and the trannies alone – she’s 100 percent right; and yeah, what’s going on in Ron #DeathSantis-stan is pretty damn disgusting all right (mildly NSFW/H as well)...



...and Beau tells us about the U.S. helping Ukraine with using and keeping track of our arms that we supply to that country, at Russia’s request (keeping track of the weapons that is, to make sure our stuff doesn’t end up on the black market...and I’d imagine that Vlad The Butcher “saw this going differently” also)...



...and this clip from the German news service DW is a few days old I know, but in it, host Sarah Kelly brings us the story of rebuilding Ukraine, with correspondent Nina Haase...



Update 11/5/22: And why am I not the least bit surprised by this? And why the hell does that lunatic at Mar-a-Lago STILL have classified documents? WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T THEY BEEN FORCIBLY REMOVED?

...and this may be one of my more autobiographical musical selections, but I'm OK with that.
