There was a notice, when I went on facebook. “You can’t post or comment for 24 hours. This is because you previously posted something that didn’t follow our Community Standards. … This post goes against our standards on dangerous individuals and organizations … ” The comment was made, by someone else, on twitter first. “Don’t invite Hitler to dinner. He adolph other people’s plates.”
Soon, I was on wordle. It was fun for a while, but starting to become dull. Wd is now owned by the paywall-happy New York Times. A google search, will wordle be paywalled, led to an article in The Irish Times. To get to this article, you have to click through a prophylactic screen: “We Value Your Privacy .. please read our cookie policy” The original name for “cookies” was cooties.
@nhannahjones “This is an important read. The faux outrage over Biden addiction policy focused on “crack pipes” for a reason: It’s a racist dog whistle.” The “important read” is a demonstration of doublespeak: “As more people who looked like them died of overdoses, Republicans and Democrats found themselves advocating for a “kinder, gentler” war on drugs, a stark departure from the racist coverage in the ’80s and ’90s that framed Black people who use drugs as a menace to society. … And crack isn’t uniquely harmful. In fact, according to an analysis of drug harms published in The Lancet, alcohol is more harmful than crack — especially when considering harm to others. Plus, if crack is so harmful, that’s all the more reason to target harm reduction around its use. The only reason not to? Because the people harmed by illicit crack use are mostly not white.”
Joe Rogan never left the ether. Yesterday’s clip discussed America’s shameful involvement in the Saudi-Yemen war. It is a dirty, ugly situation, and seldom discussed in corporate media. This is the sort of story that Mr. Rogan, and his guests, tell all the time. Is this why the powers that be want to silence Joe Rogan? Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
