Is there any topic under Gods sun that Sebastian Gorka is Not a academic giant in ? When will Tom Silva of “ This Old House “ have him on to explain how to move a toilet flange!
“Professor” Corey could have run rings around Sebastion Gorka.
The Fox News Sleaze Train just dropped off another bucket of slop, thanks to Tucker Carlson, who interviewed “leading scientist” Devra Davis.
Davis, as she has been doing for many years, engaged in fearmongering about cellphone radiation and brain tumors, urging the recalcitrant FCC to do something.* Never mind that brain cancer rates have actually been declining in recent years despite increasing cellphone use. Somebody’s gotta have cooked those figures, right?
You’d never know from the Fox News story that Davis, who heads an organization that specializes in fact-deprived handwaving about cellphones, 5G etc. is a fringe figure whose claims are not accepted by the great majority of researchers in the field, have not been confirmed by large-scale quality studies, and whose own writings have been roundly debunked elsewhere. For instance:
*Davis claims that if you expose sperm in test tubes to cellphone radiation, they die off much faster than unexposed sperm. So do NOT let your sperm make cellphone calls.
Fucker Carlson is a fucking menace to this country.
I am so stealing this.
I’m guessing Davis will soon be selling a “special” phone that blocks 5G, blocks Covid virus particles and microchips, cures sexual dysfunction and the heartbreak of psoriasis.
Doesn’t the FreeDumb Phone already claim to do all those things, and more? I would link to it, but I don’t want to help advertise this overpriced, under-powered POS device. The right is constantly swindled by snake oil salesman.
And comes in an attractive red color:
But does it make “mounds & mounds of delicious cole slaw?” That’s my litmus test for whether or not I should buy a product.
Nitpick: shredded cabbage, delicious or not, != “cole slaw.”
Like any likely buyers would admit to sexual dysfunction.
Is there a name for this litmus test? Is it called “Cole’s Law”?
Here’s an article on the Freedom Phone (link is gifted and not paywalled).
The founder of the company compared his phone to world peace….because it’s easy to talk about it as long as you never have to deliver. Seriously. But it’s really a grifters grift, he pays all the conservative grifters to hawk the cheap Chinese phone with an expensive price tag, and they get a cut every time one of their Mark’s buys a Freedom Phone.
Here’s a typical tech publication review of the phone.
Finman claims the Freedom Phone is truly the best phone in the world. He says it does everything your current phone does — except censor you and spy on you. It runs an operating system called “FreedomOS” and includes an app store called the “PatriApp Store.” (Are we sure this isn’t just a parody video?)
When future online dictionaries define Poe’s law they’ll have a link to Erik’s video.
Dump a bottle of mayo on it and you’re good to go.
You’ll need a little vinegar.
How about if it makes Mounds and Mounds of Delicious Poe’s Law?
Or this instead of mayo & vinegar:
I keep seeing commercials for the “Fox Nation” streaming service, and the scripted shows they created for it look like the most stereotypical right wing stuff ever.
I made the mistake of going to their web site and I feel like I should scour my eyes. Horror.
On the actual subject of the topic,
They actually showed signs of not being completely vile. The story seems to make an effort to put down the booster shot CT, though the quote marks in the headline are a bit off.
Not in this case. Sometimes headlines have scare quotes to cast doubt on the validity of what is quoted, but this time they are literally quoting her representative.
