post malone ergo propter malone: maybe just me but if someone kept lying to me about stuff I’d stop getting my news from them.

maybe just me but if someone kept lying to me about stuff I’d stop getting my news from them.

the revealed preference of most people is for high entertainment value over accuracy in their news

Jon Stewart's self-described fake news show was the best source of real news about politics.

But what about those good brain chemicals being told what you want to hear gives you

The trick to getting those chemicals is to find food that is the right mixture of salt and sugar.

Now that I think about it, why bother with food, try mixing salt and sugar together in different ratios and eat that until the correct ratio is found.

Ah yes poasting electrolytes

Oh lord, what's this about now?

guy I QT’d earlier

Darn I guessed the wrong popular account that lies about the news

Hey, he got us nailed, we are definitely trying to get him to change his vote.

Could definitely use a “has a highly attenuated relationship to facts” labeler.

Okay but seriously what if we had a label for "facts based" and other for "vibes based"

Ok but which is which?

"Truth is only useful insofar as it has a tactical advantage" is such a venal and cynical position to take.

As is "any disagreement with me is endorsement of my enemies". Latimer sucks shit, that doesn't justify taking the attitude that the whole Democratic establishment is a piece of shit. Although TBF pretty sure that poster already thought that D's suck in 2021.

Not just endorsement of your enemies—BY your enemies

The NY Democratic establishment sure seems to. I mean, Cuomo? Hochul? Clinton and Schumer? In the old days, these would have been country club Republicans. And the sheer amount of money AIPAC has dumped into the race makes it newsworthy.

they absolutely would not have been, what the fuck are you talking about

Schumer, the senator from Wall Street? Hochul, who stands for the 'burbs and the NYPD? Hillary Clinton, conservative Dem? Cuomo the corrupt sex pest? Let's not forget blowing the redistricting, either. What's your reasoning?

Clinton wouldn't have been allowed within 10 miles of a country club unless it was to literally, non-metaphorically suck the cock of one of the other members. You are simply choosing to interpret things how you wish.

Clinton has very much joined the wealthy establishment. In the old days, yes, women wouldn't have been allowed, but she's become the sort of pol who would have been welcome if not for her sex. I'm surprised you see her differently. What's your reasoning?

Well Schumer was elected to the New York Assembly as a Democrat in 1975 so not sure what old days we are talking about, if we have to go back more than 50 years.

And a lot of those country clubs wouldn't have let a Jew become a member.

"In the old days"? Which old days are those? They're all lifelong Democrats.

I’d be more sympathetic if the lie didn’t hurt Bowman, tbh. The big attack that’s working against him is that he’s not supportive enough of the Dem establishment, saying the Dem establishment is against him is just echoing the “he doesn’t support Biden” attack line.

Yes, but my point here is that I think this person *wants* the Dem establishment to be against Bowman, basically. They need to reconfirm their hatred of Dems to justify their opposition to them.

Oh this guy. His politics are extremely normal on anything even tangentially relating to the subject of Israel.

is this about the NYT or something else

something else but sure that too

Tallying another + for my "people want to be mad" thesis.

haven't scrolled up and in fact still don't know if this is about the election or the shoes

The irony is that Bowman himself has, in the light most favorable to him, spread misinfo in the past.
