Please don’t turn this into yet another fascinating, informative, and gutless Pit thread.
Too late. I am fascinated and informed.
Whereas I am gutlessly horrified.
Another hearty Fuck You to @SuntanLotion for quoting right wing conservative rag Babylon Bee for their latest article mocking the death of Cecile Richards, former president of Planned Parenthood. Breaking link so as not to fuck up an otherwise good thread.

Here’s a previous piece by them on her. But SuntanLotion call them “brilliant”. SuntanLotion, when’s the last time you worked for the public good? Reading the Babylon Bee much, are we?
Since you’ve mentioned it,
Not a post so that everyone could see the stupid a PM just for me for some reason.
I have an old thread pitting the Bee:
Hold on…trying to post a video from my phone..
I sent it to show how far reaching the right will go to “oh yeah look what they did.”
I am not a right winger.
Here we go:
You’re probably only following the Babylon Bee to keep tabs on what those unscrupulous right-wingers are up to.
Truly one of the stupidest people ever to grace our august community. And I do mean stupid, not ignorant. As is unable to separate fact from fiction, cause from effect, or able to exercise the slightest degree of thinking about anything. It’s all random impressions and gut feelings. And religion, vast vast amounts of religious “faith” in imaginary bullshit.
Thank you for that. I have no idea how I would ever be aware of their perfidy without you leading me, and only me for some reason, to that truth.
I just wanted to say that I could barely see the whole “I was meaning to suggest that the right-wingers will go to great lengths to misrepresent…” but… I’m also looking at where you’re going to get the information and graphics. Because @SuntanLotion came to the thread’s attention previously for once again taking in source information without research/knowledge of it’s credibility.
To which their reply was:
SO… it seems that Suntanlotion still has an issue with keeping such a wide open mind that crap falls in based on the sources they’re pulling from. When it keeps coming up though, it’s moving away from “occasional poor choices” to bad habit. It also happened to a former friend of mine who was very involved in their local church group (see quote above) who kept reading “materials” to fit in, and eventually fell into a Born-Again “All liberals/non-Christians are child molesting Satan worshippers” Qanon adjacent group. And since SL already mentioned their fondness of conspiracy theories… yeah.
Fondness- enjoying reading the bizarre things people actually believe.
A few in my church voted for Harris, as did I.
My church doesn’t discuss politics ( I saw some of their posts on fb) just God.
If God has put trump in power, then we are being punished.
I suppose that now that the algorithms know what she has read in the past, that’s what she gets presented with now. And doesn’t have the wherewithal to figure out what’s what.
So how on earth did you find the Cecile Richards piece funny? Your son died. Would you have found it funny if someone posted something like that?
No. He didn’t claim humans were clumps of cells.
Cecile Richards also did not make that claim in the way you are clearly framing it.
Also, humans, and all other multicellular life forms on Earth, are just ‘clumps of cells’. So if she did say that then she was being scientifically correct, the ultimate form of correct.
Humans are clumps of cells. That’s how cells work. I sense you are missing some in the cranial region.
Well, that’s how humans work. The cells can do just fine without assembling into a clump of humanity.
