I have been listening to excessive right wing talk radio so I don't want to uncritically adopt their notion that Democrats are all responsible for this - probably many different people are responsible! But I share a bit of their outrage that we don't have ballots back in larger numbers from States l...

Phoebe

I get why you're saying this but it's not intended as a criticism. The story is a lot weirder. It turns out there's a guy named Sam Ticer who died in 2011 after decades of claiming to be the wrestler, Stan Lane (the one who was alleged to be Boebert's father but then ruled out by the DNA test). This...

Phoebe

I do realize it sounds that way. One handy test to explain why it's not is to consider a common problem with conspiracy thinking: if your wacky theory were true, what other beliefs would also have to be true? Do we think all of the world's best medical experts are involved in a kind of groupthink co...

Phoebe

Another interesting tidbit I've learned over the years is that many people who have my specific job have the same experience, so I think it might have something to do with what we do and have become used to considering normal and pleasant. I think normal people consider it toxic for real.

Phoebe

I think Kyle is right that we can't really envision what it will be because it will come at us randomly out of left field. But if I had to try I would look at the things my kids make happen with their friends right now, that one of them will figure out how to code and spread to a wider group of peop...

She and her mother claim that her father is a non-famous pro wrestler, except that he was ruled out as her father by a DNA test. One weird wrinkle in favor of her story is that the woman who had conducted that area's paternity tests was later convicted for being bribed to change one, but they never ...

The elections were interesting. Well we don't know yet what will happen in Congress, it certainly wasn't much worse than expected and there were some bright spots.

I haven't had time to listen to much of that Taylor Swift but I do really like the first single they put out on the radio. So I'm looking forward to hearing the rest soon! This song below grows on me... I do not like the way he sings the first part, so I just skip forward to the part where he puts t...

Phoebe

Takeoff, at age 28. Terrible, so young, just released a new album, new song, the most talented one of the Migos. Apparently killed over nothing, so sad.

Phoebe

Yep, no idea about yesterday.

NOTE: the series on Netflix is called UNTOLD. The Australian sailing cup winners show was a segment of Untold, but there are other segments, and this Manti Te'o story is one of them.

Phoebe

OH MY GOD the show on Netflix about Manti Te'o. It's called UNTOLD. It helps if you know nothing going in so I will say nothing. I lost inner organs, my leg fell off and my left eyeball fell clean out from watching this show. Popped the eye out. I was screaming.

I look forward to listening to it sometime next week when I finally exhaust my excitement for this one.

Okay. https://...

Ever since I saw that movie about the Yak in the classroom (which spoke to me for so many reasons but probably due to the last several years coming up with stories about a yak - this is hard to explain so will leave it at that, we have lots of yak stories over here), I've been troubled about Bhutan....

It's helpful for primaries so I know a lot of people who do this, but in this household we cannot go there. The Kanye stuff is bizarre. Drake is Jewish btw. Just putting that out there.

People seem mad about it but I actually have liked whatever they are playing on the radio? Aha it is this:

New wrinkle: it turns out the latest research is that workers have become more interested in unions since the pandemic. Also probably due to generation z starting to get into the workforce in the kinds of low-wage jobs at large companies that are seeing the increasing unionization efforts.

Ugh, the useless progressive "squad" is up to their usual foolery.
