Gotta love the mental gymnastics of #US #pundits and commentators. "There are no combatants and non-combatants" - they said after bombing and controlling the skies with many planes.

#Maduro has been "forcefully extradited" and now the US is supposed to pay Venezuelan police and militia to keep the peace while a "temporary leader" (we wonder who that is going to be) is going to usher in fair, #democratic elections.

Zack Polanski not appealing to Marina Hyde is good thing. Kind of a relief actually.

I'm remember Bonnie Greer's review of her act, "she's funny, but so what?"

A quotation from Molly Ivins

The odd thing about these television discussions designed to “get all sides of the issue” is that they do not feature a spectrum of people with different views on reality. Rather, they frequently give us a face-off between those who see reality and those who have missed it entirely. In the name of objectivity, we are getting fantasy-land.

If pundits tell you something is true, and you don't have the critical thinking skills to evaluate their statements, then you are putty in their hands, as they shape your world view to their will.

How Minnesota shooting conspiracy theories hijacked social media

In the hours after the weekend shooting spree targeting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, information was still just trickling out.

#systemic #LossOfTrust and marbles
too far gone to term #debacle
what price our #rules ? who are the #adults ?
#SomethingSlouches up larval
justified by underhand fools
underlined by all the parcels
the #UK flies like guns were power tools
what’s inna box – “divulge, arseholes!”
#pundits hardly #MissMarple
with neither insight, wits nor jewels
all of this was out in the open
the #animus was right before you
#FirehoseOfShite and sparkle
keep that boy inna hole: rascal
all you claiming glass is half-full
why they always hate on #MeganMarkle?
import upside down and garbled
they terrorised and you but startled
they amputated, your #metatarsal
got abrased when your sparkly tiara fall
#Germany a #goosestep from “ja, wohl”
#Italy riding dirty; #JaRule
#NullPoints #France #antifa #PasDeTout
#PerfidiousIsle all #viddy and #yarble
#varken inna trough – snouts snarfle
#parsimony for us: #YAML
#zionist ’s speech; they like the #Nazgul
ours weak inna sauce too impartial
full tunnel vision must be carpal
bears no relation to our #truth at all – fuck all
crash the #Starlink, sack the #Starbucks
sow it in the barren field we growing our fucks
I know what a fucking #carbine does
to the heart of a child who is #NotLikeUs
tell mama; it works like a charm my love
no drama; it’s under the car my love
bizarro; I know that I bar quite rough
is it really worse than what the far right does?
you #Can'tLieToUs, you #CantBuyTrust
#MurderIsMurder and #halflife ’s worse
and worse still is bombed and starved while #trucks
full of food aren’t far behind and you’re tied up
