Is there any way to find members of the press to volley questions about this at him for the rest of his term?

So, what does Shontel Brown stand on, beyond not being Nina Turner? And what does Nina Turner offer that Shontel Brown can never? Between this piece and Michael Harriott’s it might be good to link to their literature, particularly as here there’s been minimal coverage on where they stand and why one matters over the…

It’s the horseshoe where they nearly kiss the Trump-right: less reflection and more derision.

This felt way too stretched. In a special election for a seat that isn’t president in a year where a president, governor, or mayor isn’t on the ticket you’re going to pull in the party faithful, the rides or dies who pay attention all the time, every time to what they believe their voting bloc likes/wants/needs. And…

Considering that she actually makes progress.... it’s not wrong to call her progressive. 

Golf clap. Very nice.

Looked for a review/few words on the 16 minute anime Rick and Morty where Summer I guess fell for an AI version of her dad... not here.

To point C: definitely. If you think of Rick as just a cool science guy who’s seen some shit but is still fallible as he was in Season One - this episode was great. If you enjoyed any of the character growth in even the God season/episodes - this episode was good. If you love a Rick who is the smartest SOB in the room…

Another option is that she might also be rich/not bad off, but she’s also a non-white person: there’s a level of obliviousness that no amount of money or status in this world can cause if you’re not also white/within the majority. Quite sure she’s had her share of macro and microaggressions, particularly in a circle…

Am 80% sure she wasn’t talking about you/people with feelings towards the show’s Kevin. In TV and in life we don’t get to see everything - there are plenty of real life Kevins who may be charming and fun on the outside, but when the lights go off, when the hangovers happen, when the wins don’t happen...

An alumni of the Dave Chappelle School of Saying Shit and Covering Via ‘I’m Just A Comedian’. Except he doesn’t have Chappelle Show level of coverage.

...they went to the Academy Awards and BAFTA?

I really do not think you get it, arguing that hard with someone whose job is to care about this shit beyond COVID. I mean...

Voters. Fully half of our country either can’t legally vote or are idiots who believe that there’s someone else that’d give enough of a shit for them even without their voting input at every level of government. A higher than half the percentage of people who actually vote are horrifyingly into fascism or willing to…

And fostering apathy. Cannot forget the fostering of apathy

Only rationale I can buy is that they didn’t want a martyr for even worse fuckery. They’re already trying to dip that lady in bronze now.

Choosing whether to get vaccinated: personal. The severe and deadly consequences of going about unvaccinated on yourself and those within your network: not personal. No one responding to you disagrees with that, just pointing out that we’re not forcing people to get jabs. Much like how freedom of speech isn’t freedom…

Actually quite true. Be more within your rights to isolate the infected if unwilling to vaccinate than to jab them without their consent.

Not on their side at all, but it truly is a personal choice. It’s just the choice that has very very very VERY minimal downsides if you choose to vaccinate and a whole world of downsides if you choose not to. A flagrantly good choice does not negate the existence of a less good to homicidal choice. Places like…

I don’t get them. “It’s a personal choice” - yes, certainly. But: aren’t they in the business of being spiritual and moral guides? Doesn’t that make them responsible for guiding decisions with moral consequences, like whether to protect against a deadly virus?
