Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

I am sure she said a lot of things. Why did they choose this to print? Or quote her at all? If this is the most salient point she made, they would better off not quoting her. A loved one’s expression of grief or rage is not news.

If a ten-year old causes his or her own demise without having reproduced, then would seem to me that Darwin is definitely involved (the putative ability of the ten-year old’s parents to produce more offspring notwithstanding.

Alexa appears to be a 2-part IQ test. Part One: “Do you want one of these things in your home?” Part Two: “What is your major malfunction?

Because it’s an important part of the story, regardless of whether it’s factually correct or supported by the evidence.

Good Og, what planet do you live on? If you want to pit the ubiquitous habits of news purveyors, that probably deserves a thread of its own.

Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

  • Don Henley

I do love me some Henley tunes.

Aaron Rogers goes full conspiracy theorist.

Yeah, I wonder if you could elaborate on that. I clicked your link in the hopes that the item would elaborate on it, but I didn’t see much of anything that would lead me to conclude that he’d gone “full conspiracy theorist.” He’s just striking me as a case of oppositional defiance who doesn’t seem to grasp the bit where being entitled to his own opinion doesn’t entitle him to his own facts.

And to think that so many Dopers thought that he’d be a more qualified Jeopardy! host than Dr. Oz.

smh.

Well, he doesn’t believe in science.

Sorry, could you point me at the money quote where he says that? I’m really not trying to be obstreperous or defend him in any way, but his words as quoted in the story don’t scream that at me.

That doesn’t seem accurate at all, not based on the article.

On the contrary, from what I can tell is that he’s declaring himself to be a scientist who should be involved in peer reviews of Covid research.

How he has time for all that shit between playing professional football, hosting Jeopardy, and doing State Farm commercials is beyond me. But I’m not some kind of transcendent demigod like he is, I guess. Time moves linearly for me and my mortal brain can’t grasp such divine concepts.

I did. It’s this one.

We all play armchair QB. I suppose he thinks he should be able to play armchair scientist. It’s only fair.

Of course, his scientific takes should be treated with all the courtesy and deference we give to the football takes of armchair QBs as well.

MMQB

Monday Morning Qanon Believer

Exactly.

Personally, I think his remarks show that, while he may BELIEVE in science, he doesn’t actually UNDERSTAND it.

Congratulations! You mooks suddenly graduated from disturbing the peace to cop-killers!

Two players in the back of the plane, meanwhile, were trying to smoke cigarettes.

Stupidity is a global effort
