Utterly bonkers.

It’s jeenyus you moran!

All I can envision with that alternative is Whoopi Goldberg with a very fanciful hat serving drinks in space.

¡impending para un bending!

What, no Jason Pargin?

The Dogg Zzone and Bigfeets.

Both absurd comedy by Cracked alum Robert Brockway, Seanbaby and Jason Pargin (the latter only for Bigfeets). Just a Patreon plug and nothing more.

I’m behind on my listening, but this is a top tier podcast!

Information dense but delivered in such an engaging format.

Bigfeets.

It’s a watch along podcast for quite possibly the lowest depths of US reality TV, Mountain Monsters.

Their other podcast The Dogg Zzone 9000 is at least as funny, though it is dependent upon which cursed media artifact from the wrong dimension which they’re reviewing.

I’ve really been enjoying it!

Almost TOO detailed and well researched, but I think that’s more on me for listening to her masterful work as distraction while doing other things.

Reminds me of my numerous vet visits just these past couple of months (two sickly elderly cats and a stray I just adooted).

Being able to hold all 3 of them when inside of the exam room seems to help a lot with anxiety. Good thing they’re all basically lapdogs in cat form.

Ah, the classic Gravity Falls defense. I use it all the time ;)

One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

Better than Spez… crap I said it!

Worsening in Israel. Not the two faced AIPAC fueled support they have now, but fully empowered to destabilize the entire region and genocide with even more glee. Ghastly butchery on display, not as an attempt to shame the administration, but to boast.

Complete withdrawal of Ukranian aid. Naked support for Russian incursion wherever they see fit.

Pulling out of NATO as well as any other meaningful international consortiums.

Worsening relations with ally nations

No clue here. But if even 10% of his domestic threats are enacted, bad times.

EDIT: my rambling screed ignored the question, sorrey.

They will be the ‘enemy within’. And treated like leftists have been for a long time here. All without the street cred to back it up.

Sorrey I missed your question about her radicalization.

It stemmed from separation anxiety due to her mother working while she was young. Which metastasized into a hatred of women in the workforce. Ironic given how much she worked with men who viewed her as nothing more than a novelty, all while she crafted much of the modern GOP ethos.

I wasn’t aware there was one about her!

Most of my information, outside of my baseline knowledge of her anti-ERA shenanigans, is from some recent Behind the Bastards episodes about her.

One of the greatest political operatives of the 20th century, in terms of how widespread her horrifying legacy is. She only cosplayed as a frumpy housewife all while trying to lock the US an eternal fictionalized version of the 1950s.

Phylis Schlafly, one of the main architects behind the modern religious right controlled GOP.

Despite the original double vax, and every suggested booster, I’m pretty sure I caught it from my dentist in July 2022. I was still wearing a mask everywhere at that point, with a KN95 in any situation where I’d be near people for extended situations.

I’ve had the flu 3 times in my life. This was as bad as the worst of them, with a completely lost week.

That said, I am hyper cautious around others and will still keep wearing my ‘please maintain your distance’ sign.

I realize all of that. I think it keeps people further away from me while out shopping, thus the psychological barrier helps more than any filtering.

I guess I’m not such a weirdo for still wearing a mask when going out.

Sounds vaguely familiar. I think it was more than just pong.
