9 months agoPut “republican” hired to shoot “Democrat” in the headline
By deliberately de-emphasizing the crimes of republicans they are thereby absolved and emboldened.
BBC knows better but doesn’t do the right thing. Why? Why indeed.

But Jesus’ light skin and blues eyes suggest that he is not Middle Eastern but European-born. And the faux-Hebrew script embroidered on Mary’s cuffs and hemline belie a complicated relationship to the Judaism of the Holy Family.
Oh yeah

Jordan Strauss, a former federal prosecutor and former national security official in the Justice Department, called the FBI’s alleged failure to search the closet “a bit astonishing.”
“You’re searching a former president’s house. You [should] get it right the first time,” Strauss told ABC News.
The FBI fucked up so royally during Trumps junta on every single issue, I wonder if they’re not just floor-to-ceiling republiQans but droolingly incompetent.
Still running on Jim Crow laws eh. Wow. Mind, uh, blown or whatever.
Maybe we can force all the judges and state reps to live in cancer alley?
Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?
Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.
Ehrlichman: “Edgar Kaiser is running his Permanente deal for profit. And the reason that he can … the reason he can do it … I had Edgar Kaiser come in … talk to me about this and I went into it in some depth. All the incentives are toward less medical care, because …”
President Nixon: [Unclear.]
Ehrlichman: “… the less care they give them, the more money they make.”
President Nixon: “Fine.” [Unclear.]
You mean how can some people barely survive while others have millions or even, wtf, billions? NBCnews? That’s your question?
Boy that’s a question right there NBCnews. Yessir a real head-scratcher. Hmm! Boy howdy, the mind reels at what could be the cause of such a huge imbalance in our society. I suppose we’ll just never FUCKING KNOW.

Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!
Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!
Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!
Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes
Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.
Shocked! I’m shocked!
Well . . . not that shocked.

So I had no idea what people kept referring to with the Folger’s ad thing, so I had to look up the story which happened in 2009. Apparently I haven’t seen ads for fourteen years. Which is awesome.

1·11 months agoI suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)
But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.
That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.
There are a lot of people in jail for over a year because they don’t have $1,000 to get out. They haven’t been charged with a crime yet. (Spoiler alert: They’re not white)
Some of them die due to neglect. So. There’s that.
thing happens, everone sees it everyone talks about it
Years later: top story: thing happened
Yeah. We know. We - talked about it a lot, really. At the time. Years ago.
(Bonus fun: add “trump” to the above)
Elmo says something crazy. What a scoop.
This is a forty year old tactic at least, too. It’s not like we don’t know they do this.
How is it a forty year old tactic that still gets implemented? Because the corporate news media literally cannot say that. Maybe in an “opinion” column by a well known lefty or some weak ass shit like that. But report? A front page news? On GOP screwing up the college vote again? Noooooooooo.
Especially not the Trump-enabling WaPo. No, these are “new” voter laws, not an old-as-dirt cheating tactic the GOP has been using since at least Reagan. Fuck you, WaPo. Democracy dies when you do what you do.
