They could do like three more episodes on this topic. They didn't even get into stuff like Benoit, Hogan, the way they basically deperson fired wrestlers, steroids, or the McMahons' political connections.

If we keep them alive there is possibly something to be learned about why these people do what they do - though that would also require that there was actually a governmental interest in criminal prevention and rehabilitation instead of just incarceration.

People are really loving sick of hearing "this can't be done" or "this isn't realistic" during a time when the current administration have made things tangibly worse in a multitude of ways. If things can get worse so easily then why the gently caress can't they get better? Like, yeah, some of these ruinous policies and systems are not realistically overturned in a span of 4-8 years, depending on how the election goes WRT the house/senate, but they are possible and Bernie has plans for them - if nothing else he can get the ball rolling and hopefully large swaths America will be a lot more leftist the next time around because he disrupted the state of the country in both major and minor ways. Despite how much the word slippery slope is used as a scarecrow, some of these things have to happen gradually, and they can't happen at all unless someone loving lays out what the intended endgame is and takes the necessary first steps to make them happen. Who knows, he may even succeed in making lives tangibly better for a lot of people in the same way this administration has made things worse for many more. Of course, the democratic party is a shitshow and he might not even be the primary candidate, but also a realistic concern regarding Bernie is that he'll probably fuckin' die in office.

LWT is excruciatingly unfunny and although I wish he would cut back on those bits, it would probably just become the TV equivalent of doom scrolling.

Jon Stewart just appeared on Colbert and did a whole weird angry old man rant about how COVID was created in a Wuhan lab leak. It was very, very rough to watch.

If not for his slightly comedic tone it would just be an Alex Jones rant. Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jun 15, 2021 |

Again it doesn’t loving matter if the theory is plausible in any way, it’s insane fear mongering and just leads to more dumbass conspiracy poo poo. An investigation will take years either way, and most likely people like Jon Stewart will still be spouting this poo poo regardless of the results. John Oliver JUST did an episode about how loving harmful and irresponsible this kind of rhetoric is for a whole group of people.

No one is saying that the origins of the virus should not be studied and there is not a world in which they won't be.

It was good but cancelled out by the "guy fucks wheel of fortune" and "lobster loving" being the most astoundingly unfunny bits they've done in a fuckin while

I don't wanna both sides it because Russia is clearly the villain here, but the show buying into the Zelensky hero narrative just wants to make me wanna skip any stuff about Ukraine. I think more people should fuckin know about the Azov battalion though

I only saw the first episode and it was an interesting move to make it more of a roundtable discussion instead of just Jon yelling at things + a celebrity guest. Kinda like what they did with Larry Wilmore show. It makes it less entertaining to watch, frankly, but it also leads to more productive takeaways because you can get multiple perspectives in there. I wouldn't mind LWT trying something like that just because that style of one-way punditry is all growing very stale. That said, I don't wanna listen to anything Jon Stewart has to say after that insane rant he went on. He did that poo poo like the week or two weeks after John Oliver did a whole segment on sinophobia WRT COVID. I don't think you can write that off as "minor misaligned views", it's racist and stupid as gently caress.

As a non-American, I genuinely don't understand how Manchin and Sinema are allowed to keep their jobs. How can that not shatter any remaining faith you had in the democrats? Even if the dems had the office for the next 20 years who's to say there won't be 8 other Sinemas and Manchins running around preventing them from ever doing anything?

We have party coalitions here specifically to reflect the wide range of voters and to allow the fringe parties to have influence on the majorities. It's not perfect, but it typically stops stupid bottlenecks like these from happening.

Bit of a weird topic WRT Uvalde when there was the much more pertinent issue of the actual cops at the school doing jack poo poo and possibly even shooting a child, which wasn't even mentioned. But I guess it was a big topic in the news that people wanted more RSOs?
