How are they not using Frank Caliendo to play Madden? That guy’s impression sounded as much like Madden as Madden did!

“I’m not firing my campaign managers, they’re the greatest campaign managers. There’s never been any better. I have men come up to me, big strong men, marines, who tell me with tears in their eyes that they’ve never seen a better run campaign. It’s Harris whose campaign is floundering. I mean, did you see the fake crowd by the plane? I’m telling you, it’s all AI. Hannibal Lector would have a better crowd than her. Have you heard of Hannibal Lector? Great guy, great guy. Harris is floundering and Biden is sorry now because she’s doing so badly. Sleepy Joe, he’s going to show up at the convention and reclaim his spot because he thinks he can beat me, but he can’t. He can’t beat me. He couldn’t beat Hannibal Lector. Great guy.”

Quiz - is this an actual quote, or did I make it up?

The sad thing for him is that he is Streisand Effecting her crowd size. I had multiple posts on my Facebook feed of the picture where they circled the body of the plane and the engine claiming there’s no people in the reflection, so the crowd size is fake. I stumbled onto a Snopes post of a link to a video of the actual event as proof that the photo is authentic. I watched the video, and the camera showed not only the crowd that was displayed in the picture, but it began to pull back away from the plane. The crowd just kept on going and going and going and going and going! I couldn’t believe the number of people!

So where I would have never seen a pic of a group of people waiting by her plane, now I’ve seen a group that was multiple times as large as what was in the picture, and I’m beginning to realize what a movement she has going. Thank DJT!

How… umm… how many mutant cat movies would you say that there are?

Yeah that first one isn’t right. He won the 2016 election but still claimed it was rigged, and that he should have gotten more votes.

Killer Ratings, that’s it! I couldn’t remember the name when I made the post, and I didn’t have time to try and look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, I only speak English, so it all sounds like Spanish to me!

I saw a really interesting Netflix documentary about this. It’s all in Spanish with subtitles, but it’s worth the watch if it’s still on there.

So, I’m not a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, but I absolutely believe the theory that Spez & Musk are being paid handsomely under the table by dark money to do their best to ruin Reddit and Twitter. It was the two largest places that liberals congregated, communicated, and publicly posted, and the right wing wants to hamper and/or destroy both sites. I think both are seriously compromised now, and many of the left have fled. In the case of Twitter, it’s just turning into Truth Social lite, and Spez is trying to monetize what’s left of Reddit as fast as he can to rake in cash off what’s left of the dying carcass/bot farm.

Read all about it in this month’s issue of Duh.

Apparently when I post from Voyager, it converts my graphics to gifs. I’m not sure why.

There’s the expression “see you later alligator,” and this is a literal take on it.

I’m not absolving him of anything, but I definitely think he is compromised. It wouldn’t have been that hard for the Russians to get something on him. I also don’t think he gives a hoot, because he wants Putin to like him, so he’ll do anything to please him. Its almost like he’s got a crush on Putin.

Eh, little of column A, little of column B.

I too came here from the Reddit migration - when Apollo died, so did Reddit for me for the most part. It was amazing the number of Lemmy apps that popped up in those days, and how many of them have been eventually abandoned. I’ve settled on Voyager for my iPhone browsing and Alexandrite for my laptop browsing, and I’ve been really happy on Lemmy.

There are several podcasts that have audio of the old Dragnet radio dramas, and they’re still pretty fun to listen to today. Just search “Dragnet” in your favorite podcast app, and several different options will come up.

For that matter, there’s also Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, and Inner Sanctum (horror stories) to name a few.

I didn’t say they had low standards, I said they have splashy headlines and blunt articles. In my experience their articles are factual, they just don’t beat around the bush, or sugar coat it, or whataboutulism it like the more traditional mainstream media. They’re blunt about it, that’s their identity to get clicks. My suggestion was for you not to read articles from The Daily Beast if you don’t like their style. Or if you do read them, don’t criticize. Criticizing their style is nonsensical, like criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. That donkey may not… how did you put it, sit right with you… but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the donkey.
