  1. TL;DR - Maybe don't post or boost Dean Blundell stuff. Don't give him oxygen.

    I keep seeing people posting links to Dean #Blundell - usually videos - regarding #Canadian #news and #politics. I strongly suspect that the people boosting and posting his stuff are unaware of what he actually is and does.

    He's trying to build an online presence in the news-and-opinion space, because his former career as a desperate Howard Stern-style shock-jock wanna-be imploded and his show went in the shitter. Feel free to look him up on Wikipedia for the details; he appears to me to be a misogynist piece of shit, and if he's not actively #homophobic, then he's at least comfortable platforming those who are.

    That's just his background. Why I think people should stop posting his content is that it's ... largely bullshit. When I first started seeing his stuff, it was obvious why it was going around -- it's click-bait headlines and lots of exclamation points and has a real "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!!"-vibe.

    But his takes didn't feel right to me, at least in any of the areas I have knowledge of. So I dug into some of his stuff, and it was ... overcooked. Exaggerated. To the point of being actively #misleading, even if it's not outright false.

    I strongly suggest seeking primary sources for *anything* he claims in his stuff before you believe it.

    This post exists for me to link to when people post his #bullshit.

  2. Another gem from #AllHatNoCattle which is regular meme which says "Rich people aren't telling their kids to skip college. Just yours."
  3. @MiddleAgeRiot deserves all the credit for this one, but it shows up on the #AllHatNoCattle blog--
  4. They're posting their gems on Blogspot these days (yeah, i know--it's Google) but it's high time we resurrect these #Dubya era geniuses, especially now that Noem wears hers like a sombrero.

  5. Yeah, tho JibJab bit the political dust in favor of producing digital greeting cards, we still have #AllHatNoCattle doing the heavy lifting these days.
  6. Since #JibJab went sideways from its original political satire purpose, I went to see if the #Dubya era site "All Hat No Cattle" was still doing great things--and TIL they definitely are, so give 'em a boost, people!

  7. Trump has the look of a man in an old folks home being encouraged to blow out the candles, but unsure whose birthday he's celebrating.

  8. "Today, Mississippi governor Tate Reeves illustrated the Republicans’ simplistic approach to governance when he announced his reelection campaign with a 12-second campaign video of his face superimposed on cowboy actor Clint Eastwood, shooting at Mexican 'bandits.'"
