Fellow Unbelievers:

Sooo…Was last night’s indigestion and nightmare fuel in Washinton a conspiracy, stupidity, or a stupid conspiracy of dunces?

This link that happened before the main event is what got my head scratching:

World of Woo: Facilitated communication.

Facilitated communication may possibly be woo sometimes, but it’s not always, and it provides a communication lifeline for people who can’t talk but can use their fingers.

Funny, influencers try to do that with the non-autistic.

Tucker Qatarson needs a vigorous spanking.

Maybe the demons who scratched Tucker in his bedroom with four dogs coincidentally in attendance could give the spanking to Captain Incredulity Tucker.

I admit I am coming at this from a place of bias as a Sapient-ist, and it probably not fair for me to “What-about” with dumb animals who can’t argue back. But I do want to stand against making humans seem worse than other species too.

Yes, the elephant never forgets and this one probably didn’t forget hunters like this one either.

Enco,

Ya can’t take out the instinct of a feline notwithstanding artificial selection. They are predators to the core. I should not say that because in all likelihood given enough time and artificial selection it might be diminished and ultimately end. But as things stand our little friends are giving us gifts cuz we are part of their posse.

You got that big game hunter story from The Drudge Report, right? He always had a soft spot for stories on non-human animals.

An many blushes, this guy was a perfect candidate for The Darwin Award. But don’t cats show the same kind of vanity when they come to your door to present you their lastest vole “trophy”?

Wouldn’t all the…[Read more]

Whether far right or far left it is follow the leader and a descent into violence and debauchery is within the scope of real possibilities under the right circumstances.

I find this illustrative of how easily led and stupid the great majority of humans are. Berkley law students. That should mean something, right?

Disgusting, but not…[Read more]

Jake and Simon:

All of this is further complicated by shifting allegiances and overlapping interests.

I recall hearing an interview in the Nineties and with Alan Handleman of a Michigan Militia head who said that the membership included Muslims. Guess somebody was doing dress rehearsals.

Right-Winger Tucker Carlson also has waxed glowingly…[Read more]

Simon:

There were 2977 deaths of victims from the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks. Any comparison of terrorist deaths between Islamist terrorists and any other terrorists from 2001 onward that doesn’t account for these victims is an absolutely crummy study, either on setting parameters or counting. And if this is the best PBS can do, it’s a small…[Read more]

i did not notice anything about Islamic terorism.

Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

Illustrative cases include the 2015 Charleston church…

Read it quickly Simon but i did not notice anything about Islamic terorism. And i am not sure how that would be categorized. Belongs on left not right. But i don’t see any reckoning.

Thanks Enco.

Politics should be divorced from this shit but good luck with that. I wonder how the far left attacks/violence line up with far right. Right has Waco wack job Branch Davidians and Timothy McVeigh and idk how many lone wolves and some other major incidents. Not sure how the shootings in schools are even categorized. Obviously…[Read more]
