Third Wave Here?

[Rainman]

I try to watch the first part of his show. I figure that's the cool stuff that can get him in trouble with the SJW's.
Facial expressions? I find him rather expressionless.
Now, don't shoot the messenger.

That's you, Phibes. Admit it!

I don't see how Carlson's tone helps to dampen the country's growing animosity toward one another. I do see how it could be pretty effective in keeping conservatives pissed off.

I don't need any of that shit in my life so I don't listen.

[Rainman]

Well, now we know.
Anyway:

I'm not particularly interesting in litigating his tone, but I think he often makes some very good points you won't find made in most other broadcast outlets.

Fair enough; I think that's true, at least some of the time.

[Rainman]

He does have that scratchy Walter Brennen voice, I'll give you that.
Walter Brennen, the Real McCoys. A bit before my time but that's when TV was TV!.

[Doctor Phibes]

Just for the record, I'm not saying he never makes good points. My real problem with those shows is the whole concept of listening to what essentially amounts to rants. I get enough of that at home.

Also, I tend to find myself saying 'wanker' a lot. I feel exactly the same way about Bill Maher, possibly more so.

Yep, I get the same vibe. The whole tone is "get a load of how chilling/terrible/vindictive/whatever this is" with plenty of icy sarcasm thrown in. It's why I don't watch. I'm negative enough on my own, thanks.

Aqua, I saw this mug and almost bought it for you yesterday.

I get enough of that at home, too.

My current haven't-lost-my-shit average is up to about .250 or so. I know enough to realize I'll never go pro.

That facial expression reminds of the on camera face pull made by a former POTUS when he discovered the door was locked.

@catseye3 Fun tibit - cardboard box manufacturing is a highly regional industry. Because of the slim margin on boxes, it doesn't make sense to make them centrally and ship them around the world (ahead of being used).

P.S. definitions of "fun" vary person to person

Though it is interesting that one of the richest ladies in the world is from China and made her money recycling cardboard, most of it shipped from world wide.

Zhang Yin is China's richest person, and with a net worth of $4.7 billion, she's the world's richest self-made woman.
Even more remarkably, she did it by recycling what the United States was throwing away: cardboard.

[Copper]

She sold it to Guatemala to make housing that they brought with them to Texas.

Full circle

Back to original programming, another day in the US with flat cases and declining deaths. And up to 3 million more vaccinated.

Anything can change but the data doesn’t show a “variant based surge”.

[Mik]

Not yet. But still wise to be a bit careful.
