A lot of people today only know Bill Cosby for his status as a predator. Long before that, he was one of the people responsible for breaking the color barrier in Hollywood. Listen to his interview and the comments and analysis he makes. Notice the questions he’s being asked. This interview was 50 years ago. You’d barely have to change the context and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if it were done yesterday.

Too funny not to share.
Oxygen is about 0.0005 microns, viruses range from 0.005-.3 microns, or about 10-600 times larger than Oxygen. But hey, let’s not let facts interrupt a good round of BS.
I’m not a registered member of the Democratic party, so I don’t know the content of their fundraising emails. I don’t know if they’re worded any differently, use a higher level of language, etc. Maybe they’re similar to the shit show I receive from the Republicans? Anybody have real examples?
Here’s a paragraph from the one I get from Republicans. It’s designed to divide, to push fear and hate, and set people against each other. And like all hate mongering rhetoric, it has no problem positioning lies to get your support.
You want a better country, a more “civil” society with citizens that work together for the better of everyone? Then you need to get a better political party with better discourse. At any rate, that won’t happen, but here’s the email I received this morning.

I’ve started watching the series, Hannibal. Haven’t seen that many different people hallucinating since that summer following the Grateful Dead.
When you let the corporations control the message, from the sidewalk to the halls of Congress, from the newspaper to Fox & Friends, you might seriously consider that they’re not being particularly honest…
But let’s be honest here, if you bought into their lies in the first place, this likely won’t change your perspective, even if your own experiences support the facts.
Amid America's #COVID19 disaster, I must come clean about a lie I spread as a health insurance exec: We spent big $$ to push the idea that Canada's single-payer system was awful & the U.S. system much better. It was a lie & the nations' COVID responses prove it. The truth: (1/6)

Very interesting anecdote and short history of part of the organization. I knew about the breakfasts, but I didn’t know the extent of the FBI information warfare. Given the time frame, I shouldn’t have been surprised by that 2nd bit.
All German folk music is Rammstein, change my mind.
My feed this morning. Before my dietary changes I was more of a butter flavored Mrs Butterworth guy, but Log Cabin and Aunt Jemima were perfectly fine substitutes. I don’t think a name change will affect the taste, unless they call it something like “New Coke”.
Conservatives: NO GOVERNMENT REGULATION. IF A COMPANY MAKES A BAD PRODUCT, THE FREE MARKET WILL REACT AND FORCE BUSINESS TO CHANGE!
Free Market: Your product is fucking racist.
Business: We'll take it off the market and do better.
Conservatives: I'LL NEVER EAT PANCAKES AGAIN! https://t.co/WuYhAxe44h

Not sure what it’s like off camera, but here’s a live stream of the so called autonomous zone in Seattle. A far better option than the violence before, certainly a lot different than what’s being portrayed by some people and certain entertainment networks. It’s not a long term solution to anything but we’ll see what comes of it.

A lot of the same concerns, a lot of the same talk and t-shirts up here, too. Same results.
