Brian Tyler Cohen gives us another clip of Dem U.S. House Rep Jared Moskowitz kicking butt again, this time on the whole OMIGOD THOSE DIRTY DARK-SKINNNED PEOPLE ARE POURING OVER OUR SOUTHWEST BORDER IN THEIR MIGRANT CARAVANS AND CRIMING ALL OVER THE PLACE BS from the “party of Lincoln”...”the problem is more useful than the solution” indeed...
...and Ana and John of TYT discuss this Brittany Pietsch person who made a video of her getting fired from some company called Cloudflare (and no, I’m sure her case isn’t a “one off” either)...I have some related experience in these matters, I should say, as I’m sure a hell of a lot of other people do also; I give her credit for standing up and taking on this BS, but personally, I would not do something like this because potential employers do look at this stuff as Ana notes – not saying that’s fair, but only pointing out the reality...also, GREAT point by John that this HR person’s role is one of the jobs that likely will be eliminated because of AI – doesn’t make me incredibly happy to say that, but I’m sure that’s where that is going (and yeah, this Matthew Prince character is truly a jagoff)...
...and speaking of numbskull behavior, Kyle (not him) lets us know that the “Babylon Bee” recently went full racist on Vivek Ramaswamy...yeah, Vivek was an awful candidate, but as usual, conservatives think punching down is funny...kind of an insipid comment by Kyle to compare Vivek to Mayor Pete, seeing as how Buttigieg has gone onto a pretty prominent role in the Biden Administration...however, I think Kyle is absolutely dead-on in his explanation of why this, and conservative “comedy” generally, is always going to be “hacky”...sick bastards (mildly NSFW/H)...
...and it’s been a looong time since I saw a new clip from Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films, but he has one he just put up about all of the underlings turning on the Gropenfuhrer...if you’re reading this, I know you already know this stuff, but I think it bears repeating...
...and Jesse Dollemore brings us the tale of some wingnut named Lauren Witzke who wants to execute Democrats – yep, par for the wretched course...and I find it utterly hard to believe that Rachel Maddow would ever advocate for executing anybody; that’s the first clue IMO that this is utterly ridiculous (and her host on this program is at least as nutty as she is)...
...and Thom Hartmann asks “Can Democracy Survive The Morbidly Rich?”...great to know that, at least in Poland, they’ve had enough of right-wing garbage and are taking action...
..and RIP Peter Schickele, more frequently known by his persona of “PDQ Bach”...I applaud anyone with a bit of wacky sense of humor trying to push creative boundaries (such as with the “Concerto for Horn and Hardart”...nicely done), but this selection is from the ‘70s movie Silent Running with Bruce Dern, where Schickele composed the score with the help of Joan Baez (as presented in the clip)...
...and given the weather in these parts, this tune sure fits for today – please be careful out there.
