I work at a hotel in Portland, OR that mostly caters to affluent boomers and older Gen X types. So I end up having a lot of one-on-one interactions with the kinds of people that have blocked me on Twitter.
A week or two ago I was fixing something for some guests, which meant I had to be in the room with them while I worked. It was an older couple, probably the younger limit of what I'd consider to be boomers. They were sitting on their couch watching a guest interview on MSNBC weighing in on the capitol riots. I listened in while I worked and I was blown away at the blatant fearmongering that is being fed to older libs every single day by these network news channels. If these channels were your primary source of political media, you'd be forgiven for believing that the democrats are straight up at war with Republicans over "the soul of our nation" or whatever.
I know this isn't some profound observation, but that was the first time I'd listened to how aggressively cable news is propagandizing older libs. It's like Qanon shit. My dad may be a bitter old racist but fuck I'd wanna commit [redacted] if he bought into this garbage and I had to listen to him talk about it. I dunno man, this shit is so lame
.... But Fox News is on, naturally. Who is cancelling who?

It's really incredible how the words she speaks are just mindless drivel. The concept of a "Democracy" is, again, none existent in the United States. Sorry to break that to you. It has neve been the case and it has continued to never be the case. (An argument towards making the US more "Democratic" is very much welcomed, however the US as it stands is certainly not that).
The " [WHITE] AMERICANS ARE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO SHARE THE SHARE TABLE WITH OTHERS" talking point is nonsense. The people she is discussing don't even have a seat at the table, let alone the minorities she is supposedly championing (read: she's not.).
"I SAW ANTI-JOE BIDEN SIGNS EVERYWHERE". Well good. He's certainly earned it. Did you expect people sympathetic to donald trump to suddenly fall behind a senile old man that routinely has angry outbursts even towards good faith criticisms?
"I SAW AMERICAN FLAGS EVERYWHERE". Yes? And? It was memorial day and it's the summer time. People seem to enjoy waving them. What are you wanting out of them?
It's incredible how mindless and lacking of any sort of policy proposals this is.
A nice little piece in MSNB Money on Ethereum.

A pull quote:
"Bottom line, DOGE is the type of unhinged speculative excess which routinely bites back when the narrative for a market turns less friendly. Yet, when it comes to ETH, the coin’s best days are increasingly likely still in front of it."
I'm noticing more and more pro-Ethereum media attention, which is an interesting contrast to the coverage of Bitcoin. Curious. I like money, but I'm always wary when the big players get behind crypto.
Well apes, the folks on MSNBC are once again analyzing our favs. They are blowing us off as amateur day traders. “No need to pay attention “ Not looking for quality “. “They are short term players “.”Playing games for gains”. WRONG. I like the stock and that’s all I got to say!
THESE bastards are starting to show their true colors and they’re pushing the theory they mocked months earlier. It makes me think that they don’t really care (no surprise) about us Asian people. They don’t care about anything to do with peoples safety, these fucking capitalist scumbags spewing shit to justify some nefarious dung. Fuck cnn
I guess it is finally time to pull the trigger and cancel.
