I don't watch sports talk shows so I don't know what's going on here. Why do they all look like regionally-specific meth dealers? Why won't the one guy sit down? Is he going to the beach later? Why is Rodgers wearing a Rise of Skywalker hoodie? What's with the other guy's head?
I refuse to turn on the sound but it sure seems like that one guy has a lot to say right before his Uber arrives to take him to LA Fitness.
I honestly feel dumb roasting the tank top dude because on any given day in July I look exactly fucking like him minus the chain and 20% less hair product. If his gold watch is an 80s digital Casio then we're practically soulmates.
Hey media attorney for The Guardian, @ladywell23, I just read your threat to Eoin Higgins concerning his reporting on anti-trans views in The Guardian newsroom. It’s very bad and you should feel bad for sending it. Allow me to elaborate.
I suspect you know that you had no good faith basis to make the demands you made. A major media lawyer doing mercenary work for a corporate outlet should know that an allegation that someone is “anti-trans” or “transphobic” is not defamatory as a matter of law.
Mr. Higgins’ article certainly posits that anti-trans views have motivated actions in the newsroom, but the article does not accuse anyone of violating any laws nor does it otherwise impugn anyone’s reputation with an actionable false statement of fact.
Does big pharma downplay safety risks in its products? Absolutely. Is that any different than any other product manufacturer in this county? Not at all. That's the price of their precious deregulation.
Yes, the FDA is toothless. Yes, there is too much risk across the board. But given the global scrutiny, I see more risk in starting a new allergy medicine or boner pill than this vaccine. The idea that anti-vax is about fundamental safety skepticism of our medicine is laughable.
Cleaning out my old Twitter folder and I'm going to make a thread of what I find. I'll start with one of my favorite tweets, a real gem from @UweBollocks.
Next we have the guy who started a Nazi micronation in his backyard based on Bitcoin. He managed to get me temporarily banned from this website when I answered his poll by saying I would fill his house with bees.
Do you remember when infamous Antifa leader Mohammed Markstein announced plans to execute all Trump voters on November 4th, 2017? Thank god they stopped him.
