  1. this thread cries out for a song. 

    the first word of the first line of the chorus is “mother”

    and the second word…  (hint: rhymes with tucker)

  2. speaking of

    Bill recaps the top stories of the week, including Prince Philip’s death and allegations of sex trafficking surrounding Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz.

  5. would you believe, as maxwell smart would say, back in september 2020

    The Legal Defense For Fox’s Tucker Carlson: He Can’t Be Literally Believed : NPR

    Now comes the claim that you can’t expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson’s mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson’s critics. It’s being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News’s own lawyers in defending Carlson against accusations of slander. It worked, by the way.
    Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The “‘general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary.’ “
    She wrote: “Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statement he makes.”
    Vyskocil, an appointee of President Trump’s, added, “Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson’s statements as ‘exaggeration,’ ‘non-literal commentary,’ or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same — the statements are not actionable.”
    Vyskocil’s ruling last week, dismissing a slander lawsuit filed against Carlson, was a win for Fox, First Amendment principles and the media more generally, as Fox News itself maintains. As a legal matter, the judge ruled that Karen McDougal, the woman suing Carlson, failed to surmount the challenge.
    But in the process of saving the Fox star, the network’s attorneys raised the journalistic question: Just what level of fact-checking does Fox News expect, or subject its opinion shows to?

  6. Tucker Carlson comes clean about all his lies?! John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson break it down on The Damage Report.

  9. I’m headed out the door on a 2 day trip and will not have good internet connection. Wandering over on the other side of the digital divide. I thought I could do Sunday Serendipity this morning but I’ve run out of time and I’m running late. 
    If someone could fill in for me, much thanks.

  11. When the corporations start wanting nothing to do with you as a tv personality…  you’re gone.
     
    Bye, bye Tucker…

  13. Isn’t ad space on social media becoming the “in” place?  Broadcast TV ads are dinosaurs, IMO.

    “The lawsuit also argues that being blocked from viewing Paxton’s tweets is a violation of the First Amendment because it limits the right of people to participate in a public forum and access statements made by Paxton. The account mentioned in the lawsuit, @KenPaxtonTX, is a separate account from the official account of the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
    But Paxton uses the account to make official announcements, comment on local issues and defend his policies, according to the lawsuit.”

  18. Well spring is here in its glory … or fury. Spent the morning getting rid of this year’s crop of weeds, which I haven’t seen before, and cutting the grass in advance of the storms tonight. Gonna give it the old college try to get grass to grow under the ginkgo tree. Never has before but I’m optimistic this year. Hope I’m not just being naive. 

    Speaking of naive, some people didn’t know you can’t believe Tucker Carlson?  Now that’s NAIVE. 

  19. just mulch under it and find some cool garden tchotchkes to decorate it, even if it’s a large diameter

  20. Mulch, yes. Garden tchotchkes, probably not. 
    Watching local news, which I seldom do. And to think if I didn’t I would not have known about goat yoga in Arthurdale or that the police a county over are looking for a DHHR worker who took a kid from her brother in law and gave the kid to her sister. Apparently that was outside her authority. Imagine that.
