@mikeharmanos Apparently, this morning's bullshit story on the Right is that Iger sold ABC to Musk and he's going to cancel "The View".

WTF is wrong with these people?

@mikeharmanos By all means, answer. I suspect it will be highly entertaining.

@TwiHusband FYI - that rumor that heโ€™s buying ABC has been around since February. It doesnโ€™t make it any less true, which leads me to this:

We live in a post-factual democracy.

As long as the argument says โ€œThis person or this group is โ€œthe bad guyโ€, you can say whatever you want, facts be damned.โ€

Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s wrong with them.

Theyโ€™d rather punish โ€œthe bad guyโ€ than tolerate the facts.

Iโ€™m open to your thoughts and criticism, Stargazer. ๐Ÿ˜Š

@mikeharmanos Hadn't heard that one yet. It seems rather unrealistic, as I think Musk has topped out on his personal financial ballistic trajectory. I expect a RUD at any moment.

As for good guy/bad guy, polarization being what it is, I'm not surprised. All we're left with is to look the "sides" over, and pick the one we can stomach.

As I said to my wife this morning, "I read it on the internet, so it must be true" has bee a fact of digital life since MySpace.

@TwiHusband This is why I like our own Jester so much.
