I saw a cure for brain worms in Baulder’s Gate that I think we should try on RFK jr.

I don’t listen to the show very much, but I was tempted out of masochistic curiosity.

Dude is like a boomer Joe Rogan— he buys into the dumbest bullshit because he thinks being a contrarian is a cheat code for the truth.

Bill Maher is a textbook reactionary centrist: he’d sell out any minority for the sake of his own influence and pocketbook.

From the constant digs on trans people to the time he was ready to scab (until it became clear that it would diminish his influence), he’d step on every person he views as beneath him to get powerful people to think he’s smart.

And he’s not half as smart as he thinks he is— he ends up platforming the absolute worst people and letting them run rhetorical circles around him.

Hilarious how they throw the bootlickers under the bus to protect the POS sheriff.

But think of the freedom we’ll experience when insurance companies have even less responsibility to their clients.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I’ve got the flu, no time to talk

Muzak loud and samples warm, I’ve been coughing loud

Since this morn

And now it’s all right, it’s okay

And you may look the other way

But we can try to understand

This NyQuil dose effect on man

-Staggeringly High Fever

It was the inciting incident for the “moral majority.” The integration of schools really triggered the reactionaries.

Of course, having to teach science instead of their myth really upsets them too.

Also, showing kids different perspectives on history other than the manifest destiny of white men really offends them.

Oh, and treating every student with dignity really lights them up.

Turns out there’s a lot of reasons why reactionaries hate education, and they mostly reduce down to the fact that education makes one far less likely to be a backwards antisocial goon.
