Politics And Current Events
Russia isn't the problem, Trump is the problem. Most of Putin's antics would be irrelevant with basically any other R or D candidate.
To use a Mikeyism, we view politics like we do sports, we root for our team to win. Of course, for those people who view government as, you know, governing, it's different. But with politics as entertainment, people don't care about Trump tagging Putin in for some psyops against the country.

By the way, in case you're wondering why Trump is going all-in on China. It's because he's actually following through with a threat for the first time in forever.

Do you really love Johnny Carson or are you just saying that because you saw it?
This is funny. Love Johnny Carson.

He didn’t say they were...Because those are all the same.
Likewise the "Russian reset" and "I'll have more flexibility after the election".
Letters after the name do much to change things.

I love Johnny Carson. His comedy was infinitely better than the **** stains we have today in Colbert, kimmel, Myers and such.You said love before, getting cold feet?

Hot take alert: Johnny Carson was better than Seth Myers.

I said it earlier, but if he cared about any of that - he'd be hammering Facebook/Google the most. He got his feelings hurt and was embarrassed about the Tulsa rally trolling that happened on the platform. That's the main reason for his angst against TikTok. I'm sure of it.By the way, in case you're wondering why Trump is going all-in on China. It's because he's actually following through with a threat for the first time in forever.

I am an avid Johnny Carson fan...I've gone down many Youtube rabbit holes of his shows, especially the ones with Rickles, Robin Williams, Sinatra, Martin, etc. O'Brien is really the last of the great late night hosts, IMO.

Highly recommend The Social Dilemma on Netflix if you haven't seen it yet. Doesn't really tell us more than we already know but to hear it from these specific people is kinda terrifying.

I like the old line that Pennsy politics is Pittsburgh and Philly on the sides, and the middle bit is Alabama.I guess the only challenge to this statement is how the turnout is over Philly and Pittsburgh. Everything in between is just assumed red anyways.Trump's still going to win. Around here (yeah, I know, Somerset) it's easily 8-2 Trump vs Biden if not higher. And Trumpers are rabid in their support whereas I don't know anyone who is more then lukewarm over Biden. I just don't see Biden pulling this off, regardless of what the polls say. He doesn't have any fervent support. All he has is the anti-Trump vote and while I expect him to win the popular vote, ultimately I don't see that as enough to carry the electoral college.

Totally agree with the dramatized stuff. And the constant fear inducing droning sound was basically doing one of the things the Doc was saying social media companies do. But man, to have it all laid out that way is eye opening.Concur, we just watched it last night.

I haven't watched that yet, but I think I know what you are talking about the narrative thing - highly dramatized almost reenactments of events told by the actual people. It seems to be the new documentary style, as I've seen it in two other recent documentaries (both on Netflix IIRC). Really annoying.
It appears JJ Abrams' Challenger doc (also out on Netflix) doesn't suffer much from this through the first couple of episodes.

Your lawn is racist.
Is it time to decolonize your lawn?

“What is a lawn but a statement of control over nature?” asks John Douglas Belshaw, a Canadian history professor at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C.
“That’s a huge part of settler culture. You see that river there? We can dam that. We can organize that water, we can make that water work for us. It’s essentially the same mindset. I can reorganize this landscape, flatten it, plant lawn, find a non-indigenous species of plant, of grass, and completely extract anything that’s not homogenous, that doesn’t fit with this green pattern and control it ... A backyard with a big lawn is like a classroom for colonialism and environmental hostility.”

That dude either has way too much time on his hands or really hates mowing the grass.
