    @jon-nyc said in Rogan and Taibbi: @George-K There was a great Advisory Opinions podcast on it. I don't remember the details but I think there basically had to be coercion - a real or perceived threat. The Twitter Files have shown quite clearly that Twitter was very comfortable saying no to the FBI, to the Trump administration, to the Biden campaign, and to congress critters. They clearly had no concern about retribution. I doubt the law is so badly worded as to specify threats only. Obviously the public trust is equally violated if some sort of compensation is given for compliance. No stick, just a carrot. Then imagine the FBI owing you a favor, and it becomes obvious that this stuff is indefensible.

    @jon-nyc said in Sydney ≠ Sidney: True of about 90% of Australia too, though not Sydney. Yup. At least we don't have remote areas where 90% of the wildlife is trying to kill you. We do that in the cities.

    Sure wish they’d close a few here. Wal-Mart has decimated family owned retail outlets in rural areas.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Jon, I've got your information.: @Jolly said in Jon, I've got your information.: @Doctor-Phibes said in Jon, I've got your information.: Jolly used to post a warning in the thread title when he posted one of these imbecilic articles, presumably as a favour to me, as I had repeatedly expressed my opinions regarding their nonsensical right wing bullshit masquerading as thought-provoking discussion topics. The countless minutes I've wasted reading this stuff is time I'll never get back, sadly. Well, it's not really countless. Three minutes. Tops. I can go back, if you wish. I really have thought about giving you a series of Daily Mail du jour articles. The Daily Mail articles are generally much more useful to me than The American Thinker's as they do a good job of reminding me why I left Britain in the first place. As a former media delivery executive (paperboy) of longstanding, I probably still have a bit of their newsprint ingrained into my fingers to this day. Like Lady Macbeth, I can never fully remove the stain. If that then be the case, I'd name my dog Spot. For then, thou couldst point at the door with authority and proclaim, Out, damn'd Spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then 'tis time to do't.!

    Best interview... Sean Payton with Rich Eisen two days before the game. When asked who would win the game, Payton said the Eagles. They were the better team. With one caveat... He said the Chiefs had better special teams. Since big games often turn on a great special teams play like a big return, if the Chiefs had a play like that, they could win the game. What happened? Longest punt return in Super Bowl history. Sean Payton - Prophet.

    @89th said in I wonder what the “American Thinker” would say….: Their use of "I love you" is quite important in the response. Without it, and it could be relationship-ending. With it, and you can empathize a bit. Lad, you're out of your rabid-arse mind.

    @George-K said in Soyuz leak: the Progress incident raises doubts about whether Soyuz MS-22 was actually hit by a micrometeorite. I checked to see if any of the current inhabitants were born in Chicago, I was thinking they might have a handgun for personal protection. But all 3 Americans currently on the Station were born in California, unlikely to have guns. I guess the Russians might get drunk on a Saturday night and start shooting.
