Love these. I came here to tag @aptshadow.bsky.social and then realised I had only seen it because he’d reposted it 😅

The question I always ask myself with stuff like this is “what’s the story they’re trying to bury under this one?” - but this particular US administration doesn’t actually seem to care about hiding any of the awful, venal, cruel stuff they’re doing - they seem to celebrate it

Also, not here to engage in whataboutism. I’m commenting on this specific case, with this specific individual

Again (again) - I am not contesting what is often a successful strategy - but *in this case* it seems not only pointless, but actively counterproductive, in that it allows Rogan to use an otherwise rational voice as ammunition

Again, I’d often agree - but I’ve seen a few people attempt that with him, to no avail

In some cases, I agree. In others - such as this - the person in question has demonstrated beyond all doubt that they are not in the slightest bit interested in good faith arguments

Ugh, no. Seriously? You ‘bonded’ with a science denying, conspiracy theorist Trump promoter? I am so disappointed right now. I think I just threw up a little into my mouth. How on Earth did you end up thinking anything good could come of this!?

Imma boop it

Now found and purchased, thank you 🙂

Ah, fantastic - thank you 🙂

Ah, fair enough. Thanks for replying! Huge fan of your work
