That SkyNewsAfterDark™️ talking head sounds like Sharri Markson who, let’s face it, is a skid mark on the toilet of gutter journalism. Her voice makes fingernails on a blackboard seem like meditation music. A few weeks ago she tried to make an antisemitism issue out of our PM wearing a Joy Division t-shirt. She’s just an ambulance chaser. Utter trash.

2025-11-12 05:32:39 +0000 UTCGoddamn Bari Weiss sucks so much John Oliver is getting a few shots in. I'd never actually heard her speak before - absolutely insufferable. https://youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?si=_XLr0SSV_q13oaJP

2025-10-16 09:48:40 +0000 UTCIt’s like the most annoying person on your college campus is now in charge of CBS, except Bari Weiss WAS the most annoying person on my college campus and I’m baffled every time I hear how big she’s become. I had hoped to never hear from her again after her “get all the Muslim professors fired” tour during undergrad.

2025-09-29 11:46:53 +0000 UTCIt can also be called ‘white woman tears’ when Bari does her crybaby bullying to attack black & brown people under the guise of her own “suffering”

2025-09-04 22:21:40 +0000 UTCMichael and Peter, the “project” with “Free Press” is a replacement for Fox News. Rupert Murdoch will die some day, and the assets get split evenly among his kids. Rupert and his only die hard right-wing kid Lachlan fought in court to try to change that, and they lost. The right-wing billionaires funding Bari Weiss are preparing for the end of Fox.

2025-08-23 12:10:43 +0000 UTCAs a cunty 29-year-old, I’m too unfortunately just not a fan of Sabrina Carpenter’s music. I wish I was. Her perspective on sexuality in her music is brilliant and complex. It’s not about sex itself, it’s about relationships with others brains and their ideas of sex. “Taste” is about the relationship with the other woman. Is it queer? She’s the one asking the question. It feels like it belongs in a full Death, Sex & Money miniseries. The music, unfortunately, just doesn’t hit my ears right. It doesn’t get me humming (although I can see how technically amazing it is and understand why others find it catchy). But honestly she deserves a doctorate in human psychology. Sabrina Carpenter, Ph.D., I like the ring of it.

2025-08-18 20:35:34 +0000 UTCAlways fun to get an update on how this character is doing. Normally I hate to be that person but...for your consideration: I am a HS teacher at an independent school and we were tasked to read a particular book on AI this summer. I have had... feelings abt it, but would love to hear y'alls take on IBCK. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/198678736-co-intelligence

2025-08-11 18:37:51 +0000 UTCI again want to suggest an episode about “Shaman” Durek Verrett. He’s written several books and is very problematic. On top of that he is married to a Norwegian princess. When his book Spirit Hacking was being translated into Norwegian, this was a passage that was deleted* (but it might still be in the English version): «When I go to hospitals and I work with people who have cancer, the first question I always ask is: “Why do you want this cancer?” That upsets some people. Kids, however, are not burdened by these kinds of hang-ups. When I work with children, and I ask them why they want their cancer, they tell me straight up: “Because I don’t want to be here anymore.”» So yeah. If books could KILL, right? 😅 * https://www.vg.no/rampelys/i/701mGW/durek-verrett-til-vg-om-endringene-i-boken-det-er-ikke-slik-at-et-barn-oensker-aa-faa-kreft (source - in Norwegian)
