The slap heard 'round the world was so loud it muffled even the slow and incremental progress the Academy Awards is making in diversity and representation. #representationmatters #equity #hollywood #OscarsSoSlap Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons. pic.twitter.com/yQ0EmKzkcr

Waiting for Spicy to be rolled out to defend trump’s claim of 35,000 people at his sparsely attended yawn fest last night. 3,500 would be generous. #RumpRally pic.twitter.com/wdINDCgE8L

Wow. I wonder if Trump will distance himself from this direct endorsement from Putin's propagandists? (The Kremlin controls this channel completely.) https://t.co/iWvW6G8qNQ

Morning…
There are at least a half dozen actual tornadoes lined up in this squall line.
One more link and I’m going back to sleep:
I’m so sick and tired of the Will Smith thing that I could scream!
Honestly. I’m emigrating to Pluto!
I am too.
Women are too often casualties of war this way. Rape is just another weapon for bullies and invaders.
So glad I live in a blue state.
Bit of an “All Cretans are liars” situation. Was he lying then? Or is he lying now? Given that he was bloviating the first time, since that’s all he does, maybe it really was exaggerated. But I’d bet anything that the lies are thicker after McCarthy pointed out his bloviating was going to cost him.
Interesting that McCarthy never felt the need to come down on Marjorie Three Names for wishing Pelosi dead or whatever rampant crap it was. There’s so much, they all turn into one diarrhea-colored blur.
No matter how many studies, the deplorables won’t accept reality.
Well, as Zelenskyy says, believe only official channels. That’s a demoralizing they’re-all-monsters message. And maybe they are. Good disinformation has to be plausible. Otherwise it won’t work.
What strikes me as implausible in this pattern is that more than a few women are fine with these messages. That’s not usually how Russian mothers and wives are. It does not entirely pass the sniff test.
I could, on the other hand, see it being some kind of Putinesque method of upping the hate. Certainly counteracts those Russian soldiers gratefully accepting hot tea and a call home.
Anyway. Just thinking out loud. They have to be at least partial monsters to be there at all (unless carrying white flags), so I could easily be wrong.
Agree.
Jada, Jada, Jada, Jada. Not those other two chest thumping males who objectified and diminished her.
