In which we yet again post yet another ten thousand plus interesting or amusing -or neither- tweets

At first I thought you were talking about the orange fascist.

Then I thought you were talking about Elon Musk.

Turns out you were talking about RFK Jr.

you might think whatever about Howard - relevant- not funny- changed- doesn’t matter. I know for a fact, Howard not going along with the con beyond performance burns Trump. It’s personal. Deeply.

And politically, even Hillary says it’s one the biggest media regrets she had back…

I know everyone is making fun of this but I just can’t get over it, pressing publish on this bad boy when Kamala Harris is on the nation’s premiere tough interview tv program - so famous for being tough that instead of music they just play a ticking fucking stop watch

For the teachers in here, you have my condolences.

 

But we didn’t even need the old Laura Loomer!

That Andrea Mitchell line…yeah, some undecided corporate big shot is trying to figure out whether or not Harris has more intellectual heft than Trump. Sure, Jan.

So weird how the New York Times, Politico, and Andrea Mitchell of NBC News all have the same complaint - ON THE SAME DAY - about who Kamala Harris is (and is not - none of them) talking to. I'm sure this is purely coincidental & not an attempt to ~ create a narrative ~🙃 pic.twitter.com/VIXyEh21nI

Never understood what its "blue maga".... care to explain?

 

As explanations go that's still pretty nonsensical...

 

Or Dumpy and Gropey...

 

I assume Blue MAGA are left wing reactionary(ies) that see bias against progressive forces everywhere.

 

This book alas, called it back in the '80s



A lot of people read this book as an elitist attack on popular culture (which now that I think about it, proved his thesis*). But Postman's biggest point wasn't that there are a lot of bad things on TV (there were enough bad books in existence to turn the grand canyon into a mountain); his point is, precisely, TV does it's worse when it's trying to be important because it turns everything into entertainment. Basically, the reason one of the major parties has as its figurehead a guy who developed his chops in professional wrestling and "reality" television was laid bare by Neil Postman in the 1980s. The reason why political reporting is all horse race all the time (and policy-free ALWAYS) is right there.

And it is not getting any better in the age of the 24 hour news cycle.

 

I think it is more of them hanging around in the same social circles/bars and crying on each other's shoulders about how unfair it is and how it makes their jobs so much more difficult. I agree that them planning to coordinate a release of articles to sway the public is unrealistic. It's more realistic that this is just what they chat about at the DC politico swingers club.

 

I find it hard to reconcile there is anything close to "Blue maga" in the political arena today. Sound like an oxymoron to me.
Interestingly enough, according to an other article on the Bulwark, RFK Jr and Tulsi are described as Blue maga...Go figure.

 

Based on that article, it sounds like we're talking about grifters who learned that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, then jumped the fence to start gathertingsome of that green.
