…was “radicalized” by the MSM.
Yup. Also, want more Trump? Just keep it up, because this is how that happens.

Trump didn’t ruin the media; Obama did.
Yup again.

“Unhinged Rhetoric About ‘Nazis’ and Trump Derangement Syndrome Lead to Bloodshed.”
Almost a decade ago, I had a post about my boyhood in Flint, MI, that got picked up by a Flint nostalgia blog. At the time, there wasn’t much response to it, but I see that the post there is now the number one search item for “Flint Musical Tent,” and there are some great memories there, including one from just a few months ago. Unfortunately, still nothing on line about the A.C. concerts. Next time I’m back there, I may see if there is anything in the library at Kettering.
After several years, the documentary is finally out. Jeff Foust has a review.
I also remained on the cutting-room floor. It sounds like it’s a good history, but as Jeff notes, vague on what to fight for now.
I’d never even heard of her before this, but here’s the best take so far: ISIS accuses her of cultural appropriation.
I too have been persecuting Kathy Griffin for years, by never even having heard of her.

Reflections from Kyle Smith.
His boss isn’t amused.
I’m sad that I’m going to have to fire @rkylesmith so soon after he started. https://t.co/OERKjzBfB0

Some good advice from Iowahawk.
I agree. Kathy Griffin should keep her job, and university administrators should lose theirs.
The first chapter has been put on line. I haven’t read it yet, perhaps I’ll have thoughts when I have.

I’d think they’d make their coffee in pressure cookers.
The media hates it.
Admittedly, many of them are snowflakes themselves. Or just flakes.
…”scientists” zero:
…in a sense, the video doesn’t even refute the straw man it set up. It’s not that climate science consists only of models: obviously there are observations too. But all the attribution claims about the climatic effects of greenhouse gases are based on models. If the scientists being interviewed had any evidence otherwise, they didn’t present any.
When you can’t even knock down your own straw man, you don’t have much of an argument.
So how did the video do refuting Scott Adams’ cartoon? He joked that scientists warning of catastrophe invoke the authority of observational data when they are really making claims based on models. Check. He joked that they ignore on a post hoc basis the models that don’t look right to them. Check. He joked that their views presuppose the validity of models that reasonable people could doubt. Check. And he joked that to question any of this will lead to derision and the accusation of being a science denier. Check. In other words, the Yale video sought to rebut Adams’ cartoon and ended up being a documentary version of it.
They would appear to lack self awareness.
