Snoop's father was a dentist. Snoop's children attended the best private schools. Do you really believe that his grandson speaks this way: "How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’”?
Snoop just confessed to being an idiot. That's basically it.
How a presumably intelligent person engaged in our culture for DECADES can be stumped by that particular question from a child is, well, beyond me. Maybe there was some overindulgence along the line?
That Quaker letter is great. It concludes with "Can we find joy?"
For those who started that particular shit storm, the answer is no. They not only cannot find joy, they want to rip joy away from others. They only find joy in having someone to hate/other/look down on.
But that letter is a case study in how to respond to stupid people online, if you are an organization.
No surprise MAGA has attracted closeted bigots who are now coming out of the closet. Funny how bigots don’t like being judged and want the world to just accept them. Not a chance.
Ex-CDC Official Says RFK Jr. Never Briefed On Covid, Measles by His Team
Daskalakis, responding to a question about what Kennedy should be asked if he were to appear at a Senate hearing, said: "Has he ever been briefed by a CDC expert on anything? Specifically, measles, COVID-19, flu? I think people should ask him that.
"The answer is no. No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics. He's getting information from somewhere, but that information is not coming from CDC experts, who really are the world's experts in this area.
Specialist statistician: "So, Mr Kennedy, the ineluctable truth is... The facts so far... Research is unequivocal... Data from very large samples across relevant cohorts...
"There! See? Vaccination causes the disease! And you're fired!"
The only redumlican vote against his confirmation was Moscow Mitch's...
A comment from Diane below has got me thinking. She's said she has a friend that thinks the Statue of Liberty is a fake because the real one was sent back to France for being Black.
This has made me think again of one of my favourite Steven Wright jokes, and one I wish he'd stopped before the punchline.
“I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates"
The punchline is "I told my room mate and he said "do I know you?"."
I prefer it without because I love the Philip K Dick paranoia and nonsense of it.
I worked with a woman who nervously, whisperingly confided in me that she knew someone was driving her car every day while she was at work, because whoever it was took great pains to park it PRECISELY as she’d left it in the ramp. She also suspected that there were multiple, identical copies of her apartment because she could tell the difference between them by smell. She swore me to secrecy about it.
She was the lead administrative assistant of a senior vice president of a Fortune 500 company. She was relatively normal-seeming, otherwise.
I should maybe point out that in general I love this sort of idea, and the Thing I'm Writing set in interwar Ruritania has a main character who does Fernando Pessoa as Kafka, writing to himself as his heteronyms from other countries and getting embroiled with the authorities of a rising fascist party because they think he's a spy, because I like this sort of thing.
Capgras delusions are incredibly interesting to me.
“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere now,” Snoop also said on the podcast…”
Yeah, the old “I got nothing against gay people, I just don’t want it “shoved down my throat” straight-splainin’.
How very white of you Snoop! Asshole.
yer right, fuck her. how disappointing
And THAT is why Chris Evans will ALWAYS be Captain America.
And fuck you, Snoop. Srsly.
Snoop's father was a dentist. Snoop's children attended the best private schools. Do you really believe that his grandson speaks this way: "How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’”?
I doubt a 5 year old would even ask such a question. Kids that age tend to accept what they see grownups doing.
You know what bothers me the most? Trump will (theoretically) still be President in 2026, the anniversary of Americans defeating a king.
I wish I could say I was more surprised or had some emotional reaction to this but I'm not and I don't.
Snoop just confessed to being an idiot. That's basically it.
How a presumably intelligent person engaged in our culture for DECADES can be stumped by that particular question from a child is, well, beyond me. Maybe there was some overindulgence along the line?
It's because it's bullshit. I doubt it ever happened but the moron Snoop thought it would be great political commentary.
I used t'like Gloria Gaynor. Damn, take me out back n'shoot me if I start donatin' t'the rwnjs.
Don’t worry, she says shes “ not political “.
Her wallet just sends the money on its own.

TL/DR version: Don't fuck with Quakers.
Anybody who can find joy these days ain't paying attention.
I *love* how Ms. Gaynor gives the same answer to every question.
Now tell me, who are the NPCs again?
She’s just another asshole now.
No surprise MAGA has attracted closeted bigots who are now coming out of the closet. Funny how bigots don’t like being judged and want the world to just accept them. Not a chance.
I know when I'm really starting to lose it because I think of my friend.
He was the nicest guy. He'd help anyone. Worked for the city. Always ready with a joke or an unexpected gift of kindness. Just a special person.
When he shot himself he made sure to aim down so the bullet didn't cause any other damage.
Yeah I know I'm low when I think of him.
What a fucking guy.
Another day in paradise.
Flu jab this afternoon.

twitter.
His "information" is coming from twitter
Or his brainworm
And the brainworm.
And Kirk Cameron’s YouTube channel. The GOOD one.
"Get briefed? By 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘯? I already know everything I need to know!!!"
He's flying by the seat of his pants!
(pulling things out his ass)
I'm getting "smash things" angry with this
My angertude is confused on direction...
I mean, ArfKay has been "briefed" before...
Specialist statistician: "So, Mr Kennedy, the ineluctable truth is... The facts so far... Research is unequivocal... Data from very large samples across relevant cohorts...
"There! See? Vaccination causes the disease! And you're fired!"
The only redumlican vote against his confirmation was Moscow Mitch's...
Like Trump, RFK, Jr. knows more than “the experts.”
IK,R?
This is getting very painful..
It is all fun and games to these assholes.
The "smash things" bit comes because there's nothing we can do
Nothing except violence, and I despise violence
Keep despising it. It's not a good path. It's addictive.
I DID MY OWN RESEARCH!!1!
Ugh. The beginning of the school year cold came early this year.

I shocked my boss with my AI paranoia last Tuesday. She was very much like, "You, a ________ with ____ degree believe THAT?" It was kind of awesome.
