Anyone have that gif of Rupert Murdoch with a plate of cookies?
Found it…

No, it’s much more mundane; Netanyahu just wants to stay out of prison.
If someone could port AUX’s UI, that would be perfect.
And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it’s love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!
I suspect getting shot had something to do with it.
But us, rallies aren’t his narcissistic supply any more. Now they’re a source of fear and dread.
Regime change coming up for the sake of “freedom”.
Anyone who reads the National Review likely doesn’t care, but I’m glad to see calls for “decorum” levelled against the right for a change.
Can you quantify why you don’t like Mozilla?
I understand why someone might find Firefox itself subpar in some cases, but I’d like to hear what your issues with the organization are.
Hello there, fellow Ontarian!
In seriousness, Ford is a great example of my point because he talks to how people feel. It doesn’t matter that it’s bullshit at best or whitewashing of his latest grift at worst, he’s at least acknowledging enough voters’ concerns and fears, and while tossing a bauble here or there (eg, booze in corner stores, buck a beer) to look like he’s doing something for the common person.
His opposition doesn’t do this. Stiles gets ignored, and Crombie just seems like a weak Ford impersonator.
The polticial left needs to do better. Yes that would probably mean getting called socialist, but since that’ll happen anyway they may as well own it.
Maybe, just maybe, liberal democracies need to do a better job solving problems for constituents and less time fellating billionaires.
That might help.
I mean, when I see a right-wing populist telling me they can fix all my problems, I know they’re a lying, opportunistic piece of shit, but I can also see the appeal because at least they’re saying that there’s problems and that they’ll do something, which is more than milquetoast centrists will do.
Yes.
They’re hoping for a Reichstag Fire moment where they can win control during the chaos.
What a craven, gaslighting piece of shit.
Ah, the Oracle clause.
Way to go, Bibi. Putting all of Israel and every member of the Jewish diaspora at risk just to save your corrupt political skin.
Oh, and killing tens of thousands of innocent people.
Again, it’s “Don’t quote the troll”. Some of us learned this in Usenet in the 1990s.
Saying “This is bullshit” or “You’re weird” without engaging with their ideas stops the contagion from spreading.
It is, though. Studies in disinformation have proven this. This is why right-wing bullshitters are so eager to engage in debate: just getting the chance to show up and be refuted in a legitmate setting, like a major newspaper, gives them an audience for the ideas and credibility, that their position is one worthy of refute.
This is how we got the alt-right in 2015: by taking neo-Nazis seriously.
This is what the media doesn’t understand, and why fact-checkers are getting–correctly–rolled on social media. Every time you bring up one of these lies, even to fact check it–especially to fact-check it–you give it credibility.
This is why the Harris/Walz campaign’s tactic of ridicule is working so well. Instead of saying “No, you’re wrong about XXX because YYYY and ZZZZ”, they’re saying “What is wrong with you? You’re weird.” The latter doesn’t give the lie any oxygen.
Don’t they have enough money yet?!
Are they not, ever, going to be satisfied? Does a tiny little modicum of restraint upset them that much?
(don’t answer that!)
“Duped” is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence.
“Liberal” doesn’t mean what many people think it means.
It doesn’t mean “leftist” or “progressive” or “humane”. There might be some overlap, but these are not the same things, despite conservatives trying to define them as such.
What it it with right wingers and stupid hair?
