How can anyone NOT love this lady?!!
- So Facebook will become Meta? Well, just the corporation itself, right? Facebook will still be Facebook?
Andy Borowitz provides the under reported rest of the story. Mark Zuckerberg’s image also needs a restart. He will be changing his own name to Mother Teresa.
- Mark Z says the new/old company/platform will be dedicated to the metaverse. There is some debate among the elites about just what that means, since the metaverse is supposed to transcend mere social platforms, and kinda sorta make them impossible.
Sarah Cooper has her own reaction:
- Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson reads about the big renaming. Color him skeptical:
- The innocent bunch of tourists falsely blamed for their peaceful attempt to visit the nation’s Capitol building on January 6 was a narrative that didn’t last for a New York minute. So the story metastasized into the innocent rally that turned into an impromptu march and accidentally became a spontaneous riot, stunning the rally sponsors.
Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged explores the exploding evidence from the Willard Hotel that Trump’s allies, including members of Congress, were coordinating the whole thing and getting their minute by minute instructions directly from the Trump White House.
So… some of our worst conspiracy theories are suddenly passing the solid evidence test, complete with documentation.
Yikes.
- News Corpse examines Tucker Carlson’s latest effort to paint the Jan 6 insurrection as a false flag operation, with the FBI orchestrating the violence and blaming it on Trump.
Well, it is different, I suppose. Most wingnuts I come in contact with on the internet, those thinking Trumpers weren’t really responsible, blame left wing infiltrators. Makes me wonder about anti-Trump antifa types dressing up like Trump supporters and storming the Capitol, trying to lynch legislators in order to overturn the election that Trump had just lost.
But seeing the FBI now transformed into a leftist organization strikes me as even less likely.
Freedom of speech did not apply to the lynch mob that succeeded in killing a few police officers and sending more to the hospital.
It does apply to Tuck.
- Hackwhackers doesn’t really need to make the case that Steve Bannon is tied to the violence of the Jan 6 lynch mob insurrection. Just quote Bannon’s own words.
- Scotties Toy Box relates a sad saga through a series of Tweets as a Canadian Neo-Nazi plots with those of similar outlook in the US to hunt for minority victims to kill in the hopes of starting a race war.
At sentencing, the would be race-based mass murderer tells the judge he had simply fallen in with the wrong crowd.
Peer pressure. It’s a killer.
- CalicoJack in The Psy of Life suggests that the divisiveness of zero-sum Trumpism has turned political debate into a series of win-or-lose sporting events. You don’t seek solutions or even a mutually beneficial compromise in a gladiator death-match.
- driftglass gives us the last few years as a wild interpretive movie script. Entertaining.
- Green Eagle might be trolling rightists if it weren’t just on his own blog. He highlights the most widely circulated of wingnut messages, along with his pithy responses.
Green Eagle is a VERY patient individual.
- Tommy Christopher watches British television as a conservative host badgers an environmentalist who is also a carpenter for hypocritically using lumber that comes from trees. Okay, so trees can be grown but, says the host, so can concrete. Then dumps the guest, seemingly for his astonishment.
Imagine, anyone thinking concrete can’t be harvested from concrete trees.
Next time I need a new car, I’ll be out looking for a good automobile orchard.
