Thursday Stuff


Gee, maybe somebody ought to do something about this climate change thing, huh (John and Yasmin Khan give us the latest gory details...more here and here)...



...and Francesca, Maz Jobrani and Farron Cousins tell us that, in a recent survey, more Americans polled by Gallup support the Palestinians than Israel...and yeah, if Andrew Cuomo leads off with something, you can be sure that he’s on the wrong side...



...and Jesse Dollemore tells us about Van Jones taking a bit of a veiled swipe at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, given the tick-tock of waiting for the latest legal machinations pertaining to Our Treasonous Orange Pustule of a former *president...really? Yep, I would agree that Jones has become a little too damn comfortable with the D.C. “club” of politicians, operatives and media sycophants...



...and turning to our ongoing plague, David Doel tells us about Bernie Sanders questioning Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel on fleecing the people of this country over the COVID vaccine (gee, they ONLY made over a billion dollars last quarter?)...and NAIL. HAMMER. FREAKING HEAD!!! by Doel on questioning EVERY DAMN THING about Operation Warp Speed! Do you have any idea how much that cost U.S. taxpayers? I sure as hell don’t (God forbid we ever see any actual reporting on this), and I have seen NO ACCOUNTABILITY WHATSOEVER for doling out our tax money to the drug companies for this...”oh, but Trump was responsible for O.W.S.”...so, I’m supposed to give him credit for that even though that was completely opaque to me, again, as a taxpayer?...



...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us that Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh is getting some help from her fellow Dems in standing up for the rights of trans people---shocking I have to admit, but good news for a change...and yeah, this is indeed how Dems are supposed to respond to conservative garbage, in this case from these characters Mike Moser and Steve Erdman...as Figueredo points out, young kids aren’t getting “bottom surgery,” but are getting puberty blockers to help with transition under medical supervision; the blockers are reversible in case they want to stick with their biological sex, but the surgery option isn’t available unless they’re essentially grown and have agency, despite what contemptible bottom feeders like Matt Walsh are spouting off about (and my guess is that Erdman listens to Walsh, which explains why he’s clueless...NSFW/H)...



...and I guess, given the first item, I’m feeling a little more aware of my own mortality than usual, just in time for this newer tune.
