Stick with Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center’s ‘Partisanship, Propaganda, and Disinformation: Online Media and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election’ [p. 118] for the relevant summary of why ‘Clinton Cash’ is more legerdemain farrago than anything: “Emails reveal that donors sought access, but Clinton aides refused them when they deemed the requests inappropriate.”
Also, rather brilliant visuals of the mediasphere in that report.
No. They haven’t reached their 10,000 hours that Malcom Gladwell spoke of. They speak from a place of emotion rather than experience.
Tf.
— 10k is an indistinct best guess of an average.
— At eight hours a day ‘doing a thing’ [like, living a life], that’s only a bit over three years to hit that level of experience.
— Yeah. One never poorly rationalises experience [nor does experience ever poorly inform], and emotion forever negates any logic involved that exists concurrently.
— Appealing to false authority [as well as accomplishment and the courtier’s reply] and emotion, as well as the genetic while leaning on the psychologist’s fallacy makes Gladwell sadwell enough for antidepressants.
“All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up.”
—James Baldwin, “The Precarious Vogue of Ingmar Bergman”
“The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their “vital interests” are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the “sanctity” of human life, or the “conscience” of the civilized world.”
—James Baldwin, “The Devil Finds Work”

When that writer, director, and one of the secondary actors are all the same person, and things work.
Let me paraphrase your answer. Humans are animals, but our conscience, laws, morals, art, architecture, etc are not what identifies us as a species. What does then? Clearly, even as animals, we are a separate species from every other animal on the planet.
Tf?
‘Separate species are separate species’

It’s not fair to paint all southerners with the same brush.
If only they had. The Redcoats-by-twang cum Condeferates-by-whine cum MAGAcumdumpsters-by-cult, tho?
They make the South as hard to survive as any Hicksville sundown town.

I thank you for your comment. I have re-read my post many times, and I can see that there is frustration and anger, but that doesn’t make it any less-true. My professors would agree with most of what I’ve said, and it can be hard to condense 8 years of education into a single post. I felt that I needed to ‘dumb-it-down’ for others to understand. If I talked about Social-Stratification, No-Bid-Contracts, privitizing education, war-profitiering etc etc, then most people wouldn’t understand why ‘school-choice’ is actually bad. And why “No-children-left-behind” along with “standardized testing” is actually ruining our public schools, and offering it into the hands of private corporations. I am a patriot, I am an American, and I love my country. The truth is usually hard to swallow, most people balk at it. It’s human nature. Once a persons’ reality/belief system is challenged, then they reject it, and throw up a mental defense. It’s frustrating when the majority of voters don’t even have a very high, formal education. This is why many philosophers thought democracies would ultimately fail, namely Plato. My passion for the truth and education is not miss-guided. I stick by everything I’ve said. Thank you.
Welcome! I’m disinclined to unpack that as well. Compositionally, both your posts either Frankenstein outright fallacies or are inextricably contextualized by, and I’m not really in the mood to vivisect the deluge of it all that kindly [forex: chastisement for using money to create an environment by which equality [or democracy; or education] might thrive, when one wouldn’t spend that same amount in the same way were it already thriving, and not acknowledging that that is also relatively more peaceful a persuasion than outright force, is… and so on]. Anyway, my best to your professors; they need all the help they can get. Disengage!
It mustn’t be too perfect or it’ll look pretied.

0:32:45 is cinematic excellence. McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, and Paul Rudd approve.
Funny. And by funny, I mean comedically, making travesty of tragedy, tho not as a comedy, since it’s not a light dramatic poem with a happy ending. Tho it does come with a Zen ding.
Not garbage. Sewage. Iesvs Nazarenvs Excreta Ivdaeorvm.

Gooter’s hooters are really a sight to behold. And in baby blue velour, no less.

By now you’ve heard plenty of filmmakers say it, “we wanted to make it look like the comic book.” Warren Beatty directing, and staring in, this movie may have been the first to really pull it off. The colors are fantastic, the angles are dynamic, the roster of actors is killer. Beatty clearly called in a career’s worth of favors to get this thing cast. Unfortunately, the comic book all this was based on had to be Dick Tracy. And Dick Tracy’s extensive cast of mobster villains was, for lack of a better word, grotesque. This film got an Oscar for the makeup effects done to achieve the looks of gangsters like Small Face (who has a head that’s about 3 feet wide), Flat Top (who has a head you could serve drinks off of), and Lips (who is Al Pacino with a giant mouth and a ridiculous chin, screaming about 90% of the time). But if you can look past the caricature prosthetics, and maybe you’d like to see Madonna with her real face again, give Dick Tracy about an hour and 40 of your time.
Dick Tracy is what happens in the timeline where Warren isn’t Batman. Or Beattyman.
This is discovery. This is truth. Either I’m having a stroke, or this is the best thing that’s ever happened. Please reply when upholstered.

Brad Pitt comes home from WWII and he’s killed in a crash with his mother in the 1940s. He ends up in an animated world. This is never explained. Gabriel Byrne is an animator in the 1990s, in prison (for killing his wife?) and he’s continuing to animate in prison. This is never explained. Minutes later Pitt is now a policeman in the animated world, and he’s gone from not know what’s going on to knowing everything and all the rules. This is never explained. Kim Basinger is an animation drawn by Byrne who wants to be ‘real.’ She can pull Byrne into the animated world. This is never explained. By seducing Byrne and having sex with him, Basinger is now a live action character. But she’s unstable and turning back into a cartoon, but NOT the character she was previously. This is never explained. Now she wants to climb a Las Vegas hotel to touch some spiky neon light that is going to ‘fix’ her. This is never explained. Now Gabriel Byrne has super powers in the real world? This is never explained!
Paramount Pictures paid $30 million to produce this pile of radioactive garbage.

Gatiss and Moffat, who still go scene-to-scene doing some stuff remarkably well, then cheesing tf out, undermining what should be applauded.
I now do not remember if there were or were not bloobies.
It’s not a quibble or a nitpick, it changes the meaning of the sentence significantly.
“preferred source of news is Fox News or if you’re subject to the Dunning–Kruger effect”
There’s literally a context to that, which the comment itself is involved with. You yourself gave that context 5 stars.
“preferred source of news is Fox News [concerning BLM] or if you’re subject to the Dunning–Kruger effect [concerning BLM]”
Doing the equivalent of All Livers Matter [when BLM is mentioned] to DKE [when DKE is mentioned] certainly is a twist. All Biases In All Contexts Matter Equally, I guess. #ABIACME
And much like All Lives Matter, it’s circular reasoning regarding category. One sees it done with feminism as well. Yes, humanism is -already- accepted as true by [most] feminists and BLM. Starting from the big umbrella category [All Lives], there are subcategories of study [females; non-whites; white supremacy; condoned extrajudicial vigilantism; etc]. It’s a time-consuming meaningless diversion if it’s already accepted [implicitly] as true, and one wants to deflect from those instances where it is not in effect [or as with the DKE, in flagrant effect].
Tho the Wiki list of biases certainly is fun to skim thru.
Google books result for The Phenomenon of Anne Frank p. 67 deals with the weak Der Spiegel article enough to point one to the BKA sloppiness; annefrank [dot] org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/authenticity-diary-anne-frank/ explains that BKA sloppiness in fuller detail, so: No, it did not reveal ‘the manuscript could not have been written before 1951.’
The Oscar, however, was made from the melting of discarded tinfoil hats that once held the delusions that flew like bats in burning belfries, and was well-deserved. Es gibt keinen Sieg zu günstigen Kellerpreisen.
Lets agree to disagree, your opinion is based on watching 40 minutes of something 3hrs and 27 minutes.
No, my opinion is from reading a fifth of the -text- of it and being able to reason well. As tho it might magically improve at sentence 2611, word 32,255, tho? Sure, buddy.
It’s Q-level drivel, derivative af. It’s like the poor man’s Protocols of the Elder’s of Zion broke-brain applied to more than just Zion. Gosh, never seen that done before from any pulpit.
Needs more Knights Templar.
[and just for your personal mind-improved future reference—
“‘I’m entitled to my opinion’ or ‘I have a right to my opinion’ is a logical fallacy in which a person discredits any opposition by claiming that they are entitled to their opinion. The statement exemplifies a red herring or thought-terminating cliché. The logical fallacy is sometimes presented as “Let’s agree to disagree”. Whether one has a particular entitlement or right is irrelevant to whether one’s assertion is true or false. Where an objection to a belief is made, the assertion of the right to an opinion side-steps the usual steps of discourse of either asserting a justification of that belief, or an argument against the validity of the objection. Such an assertion, however, can also be an assertion of one’s own freedom or of a refusal to participate in the system of logic at hand.[1][2][3]”

You mean the voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Iowa? All states that Obama won in ‘08 and ‘12, but gave Trump the election in ‘16. It’s lazy and intellectually disingenuous to assign blame to just the southern states, but I’m not surprised that you would take that route given your erroneous assumptions about me.
And those ‘switch’ voters score even lower than Fox News viewers afa being accurately informed. ‘The South’ as a category is essentially a non-geographic nod to that rural ignorance done with pride used as stereotype accurate enough to sell merch and ballots by the denizens within that subculture itself.
And they didn’t ascribe that loss to ‘The South’ in their reply, either.
Themoo, with all due respect, there is hyperbole there.
I’ve spent several hours going over this and have every quote they’ve come out with to date.
I’d like to list them here only for ‘context’ yet won’t for sake of this good site.
I will say, his username was CharlesXII and ‘yes’ there were some racist and sexist comments however your claim of ‘full fledged white supremacist’ and ‘advanced white supremacist ideas’ is not accurate.
It’s a site like 4chan directed toward lawyers and law students that’s not moderated. He mostly responded to ‘subjects’ that were far more racist and sexist than his comments. It could be argued ‘Blazing Saddles’ is far rougher than the comments he made.
Don’t get me wrong, I do not defend him, only here for context, fairness and Tucker’s show because you also wrote, ‘And it has been written by a white supremacist’. You ‘imply’ unfairly there.
Blake was the top writer there a few years now and wrote at the publication Tucker recently sold his share in. Blake is used much however, Tucker goes over the material with all writers as well and puts his own in as always. Blake also contributed to Tuckers book Ship of Fools.
I’ve had unsavory people work for and with me yet, I wasn’t aware of what they did nor said in their personal time nor saw it in the workplace. Yet if it did come within, we’d get it out.
Guilt by association is a dangerous harmful thing so, Blake should be accountable for Blake, not Tucker.
And what I do know of Tucker he wouldn’t have approved. Believe it or not, many in DC from both sides and within the journalism/news world like Tucker. Spend time with him. Think he’s very sharp, friendly, generous man who has a big heart, lots of empathy and would be there for you in a second.
I’ve watched Tucker for years and since Fox, nearly every single show he’s put out. And must say, do not agree with all he states (whom ever does with anyone) yet like any diamond, you dust the dirt from it.
And I’ve found far more diamond than dirt and better educated for it.
I wish more people would be open minded enough to give things a chance because even some of the smallest fruits give the sweetest tastes.
There may be more to come out, we’ll see. Yet he handed in his resignation Friday and Tucker will address it this coming monday.
Thanks for the time Themoo, it’s appreciated. Have a ‘Great Day’ :)
Yeah. The Association Fallacy, when two otherwise unassociated things share a property [or implied to], that they are then deemed honorably or guiltily similar [concerning otherwise removed things like -acts- and the -acts- leading to the acts]. Carlson and Neff worked together to produce material that overall condones, not condemns, white supremacy; white supremacist tropes whose only irony has been the dismissive sneer and fallacy-fellatin’ snarl and feigned ignorance deployed not for negation, but for promotion of said tropes. Sometimes, things correlate because they actually -do- cause [fuel, provide for, create] a subsequent thing, Cleavon: Associated because of the -actual- association. Both were paid well for that association. Both were contracted to be so associated. They helped promote each other, each one promoted for their ideas, those umbrella’d by white supremacy among them.
Neverminding -that-, it’s good to see you weren’t all that serious defending a standard bearer of white supremacist standards, employing the Association Fallacy in its truer irrelevant fashion when it comes to ‘both sides of the news world’ and -yourself- [appeals to popularity and authority show up at the kegger and ask where the gloryhole is].
And find better cliches to hang your sweet, sweet bike helmet on.

Excellent score, incl. end credits [Alex Descends into Hell for a Bottle of Milk].
The location-specific covers that this prompted [Nigeria, Iraq, Sierra Leone, South Africa, UK, Germany, India, Italy, Russia, France, Barbados, etc] are themselves terrifically critical, even if some fail for going too light [Japan, Greece]. Glover did a great thing.

And then The Last Picture Show double features as the first of a pentalogy centered upon Duane Moore.
Shitty workplaces are where the misfits meet. If it’s not retail, then it’s going to be food service. Party Down is a genuinely funny portrait of people who would never otherwise have met, just trying to not break down for one more shift. Some of their attributes are punched up for laughs, but at their core the characters are all recognizable and real humans.
Dark, clever, and featuring dozens of top notch performers right before you knew who they were. Give yourself the privilege of saying you knew about Adam Scott before Parks and Rec, Martin Starr before Silicon Valley, and Lizzy Caplan from something cooler than Mean Girls AND Masters of Sex.

Villon’s Straight Tip To All Cross Coves
1887
trans. by william ernest henley.
‘Tout aux tavernes et aux filles’
I
Suppose you screeve, or go cheap-jack?
Or fake the broads? or fig a nag?
Or thimble-rig? or knap a yack?
Or pitch a snide? or smash a rag?
Suppose you duff? or nose and lag?
Or get the straight, and land your pot?
How do you melt the multy swag?
Booze and the blowens cop the lot.
II
Fiddle, or fence, or mace, or mack;
Or moskeneer, or flash the drag;
Dead-lurk a crib, or do a crack;
Pad with a slang, or chuck a fag;
Bonnet, or tout, or mump and gag;
Rattle the tats, or mark the spot
You cannot bank a single stag:
Booze and the blowens cop the lot.
III
Suppose you try a different tack,
And on the square you flash your flag?
At penny-a-lining make your whack,
Or with the mummers mug and gag?
For nix, for nix the dibbs you bag
At any graft, no matter what!
Your merry goblins soon stravag:
Booze and the blowens cop the lot.
The Moral.
It’s up-the-spout and Charley-Wag
With wipes and tickers and what not!
Until the squeezer nips your scrag,
Booze and the blowens cop the lot.
