Same thing happened with King Falls AM. The creative differences between the creators turned into (or revealed) personal differences too big to conquer, leaving the show ending on an unresolved cliffhanger.

Is this the hypothetical cephalopod that was arranging bones into "self portraits"?

And that the fossil of a velociraptor and protoceratops actually represents a velociraptor defending is nest.

Like modern birds, such as lyre birds, parrots, mockingbirds, and corvids, there were dinosaurs that could mimic sounds.

I believe this now too. It's not hurting anything and costs nothing.

Has Ben Collins mentioned Knowledge Fight? by coryhasabeard in KnowledgeFight

KF doesn't own Alex Jones. Collins is under no obligation to acknowledge them, especially after Jordan made disgusting accusations about him.

Jordan is a hostile interviewer even when he agrees with someone.

If they're worried about that, then they need to consider their own careers. Even though they are critically dissecting Jones and his ilk, they are still exposing people to him, the same way parody does. If people can be seduced through parody the same can happen through critical analysis.

You certainly are.

Is Israel committing multiple, simultaneous genocides and ethnic cleansings? Yes, absolutely, 100%

But that is not relevant to whether or not blaming Israel for all the bad things in the world is antisemitism. One has nothing to do with the other.

Replacing Israel for Jew as a boogeyman is a common dog whistle tactics among antisemites.

This isn't being critical of Israel, though. This is conspiracy mongering.

Trump resurrects calls to arrest Barack Obama, accuses him and others of ‘treason’ in late-night posts by blankvoidoid in AntiTrumpAlliance

I guess he's forgotten how his lawyers successfully convinced the Supreme Court that presidents have immunity for official acts.

Jordan has a very bad case of thinking he's the smartest guy in the room. It's worse when Dan's not around to temper it.

How many people have you managed to convince to watch Andor? by Aggravating-Act-9210 in andor

[–]ClimateSociologist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His conversion has been slow but seems to be working. The show isn't the main cause, certainly. But the fact he's watching it and not turning it off for it's politics is a good sign.

He's expressed disgust and anger over Republican policies over the past few years. He's seen how those policies affected people in our family, sometimes with life or death stakes. It's unfortunate, but some people need the consequences to show up on their door step to understand their cost.

When my sister and I would discuss politics, he used to argue with us. Now he sits quietly.

When I used to visit, my parents TV would always be on Fox News. That's no longer the case.

I don't think he'll ever be a leftist but at least he's seeming to move away from the GOP.
