  2. Understanding the Occupy Democrats Post on Facebook about the Kennedy Center – Perplexity & DrWeb

    Editor’s Note: I had been following the Facebook group called “Occupy Democrats,” for some time. A post today in my timeline was surprising. I did read it. It on point in many ways, but feels over the top, dramatized, inflamatory? Not a slam on the group; I was (my bad) unaware of it’s background (duh). So I asked Perplexity to bring me up-to-speed, and this is the analysis of their post on the Kennedy Center. It notes their ofter post unsigned material, cited sources. I am not opposed to left wing groups; nor opposed to progressive Democrats. I know how these posts have a “slant” and strong POV. That’s what free speech is all about. Good wishes to Occupy Democrats!

    Understanding the Occupy Democrats Post on the Kennedy Center

    The above message circulating from Occupy Democrats appears to be written in the editorial style typical of the organization, which is known for publishing unsigned, inflammatory content without individual bylines.1 This explains why there’s no signature or author name on the post.2

    About Occupy Democrats

    Occupy Democrats is a left-wing Facebook page and media outlet founded in 2012 by twin brothers Rafael and Omar Rivero.1 The organization is designed to operate as a “counterbalance to the Republican Tea Party” and has grown to become one of the largest progressive political pages on Facebook with over 10 million followers.1 Their content is characterized by hyperpartisan messaging, clickbait headlines, and highly emotional language that frequently uses terms like “BREAKING” and emphasizes outrage.3

    The Rivero brothers manage the page collectively and rarely sign individual posts, treating Occupy Democrats as a brand voice rather than attributing content to specific authors.2 This is standard practice for their operation—they publish unsigned content that represents the organization’s collective perspective rather than individual authorship.1

    The Kennedy Center Situation

    The substance of what Occupy Democrats posted is largely accurate based on reporting from legitimate news sources. The Washington National Opera is indeed considering leaving the Kennedy Center due to Trump’s February 2025 takeover of the institution.45 Key facts include:

    • Trump appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center and installed Richard Grenell as president65
    • Ticket sales have plummeted by approximately 40%, with performances now at 60% capacity compared to 80-90% before Trump’s takeover45
    • Artistic Director Francesca Zambello did describe the building as “tainted” in interviews47
    • Donors have fled and sent angry messages to the opera company, with some comparing the situation to 1930s authoritarianism57

    The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and other mainstream outlets have all reported extensively on this crisis at the Kennedy Center.68 The Occupy Democrats post appears to be a highly dramatized synthesis of these legitimate news reports, repackaged in their signature inflammatory style.13

    From Group: Images of ALIEN(1979 Movie)

    An early idea was to have the alien semi-transparent, but due to time constraints and technological limitations, this eerie aspect of the creature's anatomy was abandoned in favor of the darker-skinned being seen in the finished film. This image of a semi-transparent prototype suit is from Shepperton Design Studios. As beloved as the original alien from the 1979 film is, the semi-transparent look - reminiscent of some species of fish and amphibians - is quite an interesting idea. Certainly there would be a lot to be disturbed by and to speculate upon if its internal organs were on full display to the viewer, for biology often inspires the most unsettling terrors.

    From Group: Dull Men's Club

    My older brother recently obtained this TV and the “attached” DVD player. Grabbing a random DVD -which happened to be Rocky Horror - we tested it out.

    I had no idea/recollection of the menu featuring a giant mouth but it tickled us when coupled with the Mickey Ears as it created a face.

    Anyway, this is an absolutely dull discovery but amusing all the same.

    Here's the recipe:

    Ingredients

    1. 1 lb cooked beef brisket, pulled apart
    2. 2 jalapeños, chopped (seeds removed for milder flavor)
    3. 1 onion, chopped
    4. 2 garlic cloves, minced
    5. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    6. ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    7. ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    8. 1½ cups beef broth
    9. ½ cup heavy cream
    10. 2 tsp dried thyme
    11. ½ tsp salt
    12. ¼ tsp black pepper
    13. 2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)

    Directions
    Preheat the Oven

    1. Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Vegetables

    1. In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened (about 3 minutes).
    2. Add the chopped jalapeños and cook for another 2 minutes.

    Make the Roux

    1. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
    2. Gradually add the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to prevent lumps.
    3. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens.

    Prepare the Filling

    1. Add the pulled brisket, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
    2. Stir well and let the mixture heat through.

    Assemble the Pot Pie

    1. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
    2. Fill with the brisket mixture, spreading it evenly.
    3. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork or pinching with your fingers.
    4. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

    Bake the Pot Pie

    1. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

    Serve

    1. Let the pot pie cool slightly before slicing.
    2. Serve warm and enjoy this hearty and comforting meal!

    Just remember... Some Assembly Required was an option for home ownership...

    God forbid you had extra parts.

    From Historical Photographs on Facebook:

    In the 1910s, Sears offered mail order houses. You would select the house of your choice, then Sears would ship it to you by railroad. The parts were then assembled by the individual, based on the instructions

    So, this guy blocked me so it won't go to him. This is for anyone who sees this later.

    This guy was basically being a dick. He could have just blocked the account or went about his business. But he choose to try and shame me for sharing something I found on Facebook.

    When I find interesting things like this on Facebook I basically copy and paste the information here, with a link for anyone who wants to go see the original post. This is because this isn't my original content and when I share it I believe it's important to link back to the creator.

    I mark these with the tags #Facebook, #FacebookFinds, and #FacebookGroup.

    Any one of those tags can be muted. Like the guy about could have.

    He chose to be hateful though.

    So while this is all going out into the Void, and won't be seen by the dick in question, if you do see this then take a moment to ask.

    If you don't want to see these things you don't have to. They are tagged in a way so you can block them.

    But you also have a choice about being a dick about it.

    From: Daniel Anderson, Sci-fi and Fantasy Author

    This is a real, intact human nervous system.

    In 1925, two medical students in Kirksville, Missouri were challenged to dissect a cadaver's nervous system, starting from the brain downward, but leaving the entire system in one piece. The process took the students - M.A. Schalck and L.P. Ramsdell - over 1,500 hours. Their "blood, sweat, and tears" produced this extraordinary display, located at the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine at A.T. Still University (ATSU) in Kirksville.

    There are only 4 of these in the world.

    Muralist Djoels Mural by Djoels in Basque Country. Djoels: A few months ago, I enrolled in a sort of selection round to be able to do a mural in the Basque Country. Out of the (more than) 400 applications, 2 artists were chosen: one artist from Gran Canaria and Djoels. We were given a 13-meter-high by 8-meter-wide wall to work on. For 5 days, we were given a tour, information, and the opportunity to get to know the town. It’s a harbor town surrounded by mountains, slightly bigger than […]
