Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to russia? And then changed his mind? I forget what happened after that.

Yep. Mmm hmmm.

Propaganda works. Period.

This is a forty year old tactic at least, too. It's not like we don't know they do this.

How is it a forty year old tactic that still gets implemented? Because the corporate news media literally cannot say that. Maybe in an "opinion" column by a well known lefty or some weak ass shit like that. But report? A front page news? On GOP screwing up the college vote again? Noooooooooo.

Especially not the Trump-enabling WaPo. No, these are "new" voter laws, not an old-as-dirt cheating tactic the GOP has been using since at least Reagan. Fuck you, WaPo. Democracy dies when you do what you do.

Got him confused with the NY AG from a few years ago. Not him.

After working at a corporate law firm, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the tech industry. He served as a principal at Peter Thiel's venture capital firm, Mithril Capital.[21]

In 2016, Harper published Vance's book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2016 and 2017. It was a finalist for the 2017 Dayton Literary Peace Prize[22] and winner of the 2017 Audie Award for Nonfiction. The New York Times called it "one of the six best books to help understand Trump's win".[3] The Washington Post called him the "voice of the Rust Belt",[2] while The New Republic criticized him as "liberal media's favorite white trash–splainer" and the "false prophet of blue America."[23] Economist William Easterly, a West Virginia native, criticized the book, writing, "Sloppy analysis of collections of people—coastal elites, flyover America, Muslims, immigrants, people without college degrees, you name it—has become routine. And it's killing our politics."[24]

So bad home life, goes to Yale Law, works with noted shitbag Peter Thiel and is now doing evil out loud and proud. Great.

Put "republican" hired to shoot "Democrat" in the headline

By deliberately de-emphasizing the crimes of republicans they are thereby absolved and emboldened.

BBC knows better but doesn't do the right thing. Why? Why indeed.

Article: The changes come as Republican lawmakers step up efforts to punish businesses that consider climate change and the environment in their operations.

But Jesus’ light skin and blues eyes suggest that he is not Middle Eastern but European-born. And the faux-Hebrew script embroidered on Mary’s cuffs and hemline belie a complicated relationship to the Judaism of the Holy Family.

In Mantegna’s Italy, anti-Semitic myths were already prevalent among the majority Christian population, with Jewish people often segregated to their own quarters of major cities.

Oh yeah

Not sure if this is a bug, but upvotes "randomly" error out?

Occasionally when I upvote a "front-page" post or sometimes even an individual comment it will redirect to an empty page that just says "error". (It's in the kbin CSS format, it's not, like, literally blank). However even after that other posts / comments will upvote without error.

I thought it was related to a login token or something, and logging out and back in seems to re-set but not completely fix the problem. It will recur at some point. Re-loading the page doesn't seem to help.

I'm using various OS setups but always through Firefox, fwiw, but as far as I know no plug-ins should be causing what seems like random errors.

Sorry if this isn't the right thread, I couldn't find "kbinsupport" or "askkbin".
