WTF, Mark?
It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.
–Mark TwainI recently heard that comedian and political commentator Bill Maher received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour at the Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.1
I was wondering, Mark, if you know about this latest award of the prize? I know you’re long dead, but seriously, does the awarding of a coveted prize honouring your legacy sit well with you? Are you turning in your grave, as is compulsory when a dead person’s name is tarnished when it is used inappropriately?
Anyway, in case you don’t know who this clown comedian being honoured in your name is, and you haven’t been keeping up with the news… because, you know, you’re enjoying the eternal sleep and all that, allow me to fill you in or bring you up to speed.
A long time ago, I thought Bill was an OK guy. He used to be genuinely funny. He also used to be politically suave and said some important things, one of which may have contributed to the 2002 cancellation of his original television show, Politically Incorrect.
We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly…
Maher may have been agreeing with right-wing bigot and conspiracy theorist Dinesh D’Souza at the time about the 9/11 terrorists not being cowardly, but it was an important expression of free speech slamming U.S. imperialism.
I remember enjoying watching repeats of Real Time with Bill Maher on YouTube several years ago. There was also Religulous, the film he produced mocking religion, which tickled my fancy because I identified as an atheist at the time. He genuinely convinced me that he was a concerned moderate liberal. He even believes he’s progressive.
But things changed, Mark!
In 2014, to supplement his misogyny, he began exhibiting what, since October 7th 2023, has become full-blown Islamophobia. Bill tweeted the following:
Dealing w/ Hamas is like dealing w/ a crazy woman who’s trying to kill u – u can only hold her wrists so long before you have to slap her.
Also in October of 2014, actor Ben Affleck had a confrontation with Bill on his show over his Islamophobia. Bill’s other guest on the show was Sam Harris, another infamous Islamophobe. Chris Hayes of cable news network MS Now (formerly MSNBC) broke down the confrontation quite effectively on his own show:
https://youtu.be/ynKi5C6ewB8?si=mHoR6ejXwnZWJ49E
When prodded by Afleck, Maher actually had the audacity to quip that Islamophobia “… is not a real thing when we do it.” I’m not sure, Mark, if he meant people like him or the West in general. Either way, Mark, the bigotry is staggering.
Interestingly, Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, original members of the New Atheist Movement known as the Four Horsemen, both became rabid Islamophobes after the movement faded. But this curious development is reserved for another separate conversation.
Let’s continue, Mark, with our protagonist, Bill Maher, the self-identified liberal.
Suddenly, Bill was in his 70s and becoming increasingly desperate to stay relevant. He now frequently agrees with right-wing talking points, including becoming a warhawk. He has, of late, doubled down on his support for Israel and their biblical 3000-year-old claim to the land from the river to the sea… and beyond, apparently, if you listen to the insane ramblings of some of the members of their right-wing government.
You see, Mark, Maher has completely forgotten his lines from the closing scene of Religulous, the infamous film he produced in 2008. Standing on the ruins of Megiddo, an ancient mound city in northern Israel that is associated with the biblical Armageddon prophecy, he launched into a lengthy admonition of religion that has equal relevance to any other ideology:
The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt.
Doubt is humble and that’s what man needs to be considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong.
What he went on to say has a profound connection with current events in the Middle East, especially the genocide in Gaza:
Let’s remember what the real problem was. That we learned how to precipitate mass death before we got past the neurological disorder of wishing for it.
That’s it! Grow up or die!
You see, Mark, he hasn’t grown up, but Bill didn’t die either. He continues to make arrogant, self-assured statements on his shows, which fly in the face of his own advice. And like warmongering recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, which must surely trouble Alfred, he is being rewarded.
I sincerely wish I could have your thoughts on this, Mark. I also wish you were still around to decide who deserves the honour before you hand out the award yourself. But for now, I’ll leave you to rest in peace while I grapple with this injustice.

CW: Epstein Files: Racism, Sexism, Fascism from Joscha Bach
Closing the #EpsteinFiles for the night, but I have to call out someone in my field of #ComputerScience / #AI...
#JoschaBach is saying some absolutely stupid shit in these emails to a convicted sexual predator. Like, seriously, him and #Epstein have a whole conversation about #Eugenics where he makes this #racist assertion that black people have lower IQs (a debunked metric) because of genetics and causally disregards all evidence otherwise.
He then goes on to make standard #Malthusian claims about #overpopulation, calls for mass murder of the elderly, praises #GlobalWarming and #Fascism as drivers of his nebulous misunderstanding of "#Evolution", praises #StarshipTroopers and #TheManInTheHighCastle as arguments in favor of fascism, and then gushes over Epstein's embrace of #PoliticallyIncorrect (ie, #Racism, #Sexism, #Fascism) views.
To parrot Ice T, "Joscha Bach is a racist piece of shit."

Last week a friend of mine posed the following question in a press conference, and was literally thrown out of the room.
I know it's a very #politicallyincorrect #question (eventually dangerous?) but I cannot resist to put it here and see what happens."What would the U.S. central government do if one of its states, say Texas just as an example, started a fight for its independence?"
P.S.: I'm not going to say the name of my friend because IMO she already has enough problems.

@fonecokid The evidence is piling up on our #Bill. I'm old enough to remember when #Maher gave #KellyAnneConway a free pass--five minutes to pitch #TFG to the #PoliticallyIncorrect audience -- with no pushback, days before the 2016 election. That was before the planet knew her as #CruellaDeVille. I mean, WTF #BillMaher?

Heaven, what do you want to set about?
Do you murderers realise what you are doing?
Do you dogs, you devils, dare to strike the son of

Political Correctness: Why You Should be PC
What is political correctness really about? When should we cancel someone? I've talked to people about this perspective and have often heard they've never thought of it this way. PC isn't bad or censorship. It's actually about ensuring freedoms.
