Kept my visual focus, music excellent, mentally hooked then felt a bit disjointed/too swift images without another overlay phrase in the middle (but as noted below format ripe for variations on theme), and I found slow smirk forming as it finished.
And I am a VERY hard sell on any form of ads.
James Murdoch has resigned from News Corp, the parent company of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, citing disagreements over the company's editorial decisions.
In a resignation letter filed Friday afternoon, Murdoch said his departure "is due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company's news outlets and certain other strategic decisions."
"There are views I really disagree with on Fox," he told the New Yorker last year. His older brother, Lachlan, 49, has been running Fox Corporation since 2018.
In January, James and his wife, Kathryn, an activist, publicly rebuked News Corp's coverage of the wildfires in Australia, which played down the role of human-driven climate change.
News Corp. is one of two media companies owned by the Murdoch family, the other being Fox Corporation, which now owns Fox News, Fox Business and the Fox television network. James was CEO of 21st Century Fox until its sale last year to Disney.
Did... Did you NOT watch his video series????
That was, in fact, one of my first redpills. Shocked me out of my naive state into looking deeper. And showed me how idiotically blindered my fellow lefties were about factual proof.
Boy are you missing the point- there is a HUGE number of ambivilent independent or nominal Dem adults out there who are being steadily redpilled by watching Tim or being told about what he said by a friend they trust.
They are the ones who normally check out, or reluctantly check the Blue box in the General.
They are being made aware, and realizing they gotta step up-
I think Tim saying he may not vote even as he relates all the bad on the left and rebuts criticism of Trump is a powerful tool:
Imagine you are a disengaged cynical vaguely lefty, but you aren't down with the whackjobs rioting or idpol bullshit and definitely NOT happy about the neolib Biden camp either. But now you hear just how bad it REALLY IS, and just how many lies about Trump you got told, and the good he is actually doing- particularly on anti War and jobs and not violating States Rights... while cutting off the crazies and exposing the liars...
And they think:
Wait, but.... but Tim you gotta vote! I gotta vote! We need every one of us sane peeps to hold off these violent greedy mfrs! Shit- I need to go register asap. Fuck, I need to tell my buddies OWS hero says we fucked unless we stop those losers- and they need to register and vote too! Goddam it Tim, wtf aren't you gonna vote?!?!?
I've watched it happen to open lefties in his comments over the last year or so. It is working.
Projection- this is absolutely true. Just a halfstep back and I could suddenly hear and see what they were really doing.
Betrayal is NOT a strong enough word for how I felt when I realized none of them actually held the values I did and they claimed.
And that they then by default saw MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND my not ivory tower elite class FRIENDS of any shade as lesser, stupider, a useful tool class of humans to keep their world running smoothly.
Rage. Yeah, rage works.
I will never forgive them. Nor will I ever stop throwing it in their faces online to as broad an audience as I can garner.
The brilliance of both strikes were the destruction of meh stuff, no locals killed, and just an elite Iranian unit and their ratty old planes at the airfield.
And a couple Tommys seemed to.... not land.... maybe. No one makes a peep, but up in the mountains way above that airfield was a notorious key operation of Da'esh in So. Syria... that most say was tied to Mossad ops. Hmmmmm
Then they fucked up on this one- blacks and western hemisphere indian/indigenous genetics are far more deadly when mixed with covid.
Most of the younger deaths are in those two groupings, and a HUGE proportion of those sick enough to be hospitalized are latino with heavy indigenous heritage.
If American whites did not have high rates of diabetes in older populations the death rate would be even lower than it is for over 65.
No, not really.
Every exposure you have, infection you fight, and disease you handle are impacts on your immune system- some good some bad. And the treatments can play a role positive or negative too.
Many less deadly our immature immune systems need to "learn" early so we can recognize them later in life and kill any infections off fast. This is why getting minor or moderate childhood bugs and being exposed to common soil bacteria strengthens you against later bugs.
But at the same time some do lasting damage or set you up to have an immuno compromised response later in life.
Shingles is one case of a seemingly otherwise moderate childhood disease with fallout later in life- it never leaves your body and flares in later years.
Asthma is an immuno over response, and can be outgrown OR a lifetime risk factor.
Allergies are similar in nature, and almost always cause a persistant to severe immuno response if re-exposure after avoidance.
Lupus is another.
Cancer treatments all but kill you to treat you- and disable your immune system for varying lengths of time. Truth is, in some ways your immune system after cancer treatment is never fully functioning again- it just recovers significantly.
Our immune systems are a delicate balance between teaching it measured responses from low risk exposures early and getting hyper responses from more dangerous or late exposures- and becoming compromised over a lifetime of exposures, responses, and treatments.
It is very relevant to note the frequency and age-adjacency of each comorbidity:
The ratios have been lows of ~75% to the common over 90% of covid deaths involve this trait, regardless of age.
But also worth considering that the vast majority with any comorbidity have TWO OR MORE listed at death.
Overall Diabetes is the most dangerous comorbidity, being the strongest in younger deaths from covid and second in older deaths.
First if over 70 is heart related issues.
Second is high blood pressure in overall deaths.
Morbidly obese is in there farther down, along with lung and breathing issues.
"Obesity" per the new tables (hilariously off target and far too inclusive btw) is way down the list of comorbidities.
Looked at through that filter you can see the pattern of higher deaths in certain younger populations and above certain ages in all groups makes a great deal of sense, and the comorbidities tell a story vs being randomly involved.
Sadly, didn't learn shit: friend comments and they retweet that abolish doesn't mean get rid of police, just redirect all the money to housing etc etc.
Am beginning to think our HS and JC classrooms are running subliminal dialectic programming- the utter and total disconnect between words and their inescapable meanings and usage in under 25 year olds is too stark. 😕
Yeah, plenty here- and we don't need the incel asshats like some commentors here targeting us either.
They need to get their shit together and stop projecting their mental and emotional insecurities and sense of national failings onto allllllll the opposite sex.
Ok so....
Based on the scant details and my high familiarity with the area and cultures-
He crossed a gang.
He could be any shade or ideology or gender or age, and if you "disrespect" them... Yeah.
Only other option is it was some shady biz on his part.
And he seemingly got in a fight alone. At a public spot. When still dark out. When virtually nobody is normally out.
So odds are high he either tried to cheat scary people or foolishly kept arguing with scary people- neither of which sane sensible peeps of any background do around here.
And fam statements around here are notorious for sobbing over their dear harmless loved one taken from them- and eventually it comes out they were no saint to outright terrible people.
And I am telling you this: everybody comingles up here, even theoretically gangs of an ethnic type- yeah, you'll see Surenos arrests and a white kid in the mix, AB and a highly obviously hispanic name latino kid, MM and an asian kid.
I know, not what you are told, but that post racial America they used to talk about proudly? About 90% of anyone raised here lives it, and 75% of residents do.
The fragments that do not are imports from other urban areas in the US, some immigrant groups, and the radicalized hostiles. And I gotta say most of the first two are racist towards asians or blacks, and the last being the black supremist sub culture... and exceedingly scarce on the ground towards Gilroy.
Some interesting historical info
