I don't watch Maher anymore as he's an out of touch liberal hating transphobe. But Galloway is really someone who needs a bigger audience.

Of Galloway. I think he's a misogynist and manages to disguise it to some.

Our boys are going through a crisis right now, as they’re being bombarded by the most toxic people imaginable on social media like Tate, Fuentes, Rogan, et al. And their warped ideas are screwing our young guys up badly.

I’m fond of Galloway and especially Fareed. Barro, eh, s’alright.

I do think he's drunk the "masculinity crisis" kool-aid a bit much, but I heard him speak on the subject recently and he made it clear that some of the issue is that men, for the first time, are having to deal with some issue that women have had to deal with for thousands of years. His position is not that feminism has to dialed back, but that out work on sexual and gender politics has to recognize that constructions of masculinity are collapsing and it's becoming a broader social issue. He's not wrong about that. I do disagree with him on some proposed approaches, but he's not wrong about that.

And earlier General Discussion post (8:13 this morning) about Maher's show tonight says his guests are Megyn Kelly, Greg Gutfeld, and John Fetterman. What's going on?

I'm certainly not the only one who took that earlier thread seriously. Who wouldn't think Maher would jump at the chance to feature Megyn Kelly and Greg Gutfeld on his show---particularly after the events of this week? And I pissed away my 32,000th DU post in the process.

Oh, well. Fuck Bill Maher.

He cannot even create his own format. Imitates the format but without the kitty at the bottom. I don’t think that the administration should allow it and you should not tolerate it.

And I hope you and the others use protection.

It was pointed out to you several weeks ago by none other than Celerity that a certain reskinner's OP is 'satire'.

And you're not the only one who's been confused by this inaccurate information. This poster comes up with the most offensive guests he can think of, then makes fun of them. I like some guests, others not so much, but I only list them and who they are, it's up to DUers whether they choose to watch.

I walked away from Maher, years ago, and my life is the better for it. The only way I keep track of the asshole is by way of info posted on DU, so I appreciate your efforts.

15. Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present by Fareed Zakaria was a really good book.

Lots of talk about inventions that made things better and worse at the same time and how the powers that be/were made use of them. It's not a long read, IMO.

Fareed is one of our faves. I watch him every Sunday at 10 am, usually while on the treadmill. He was a speaker a number of years ago at a conference we attended, an interesting person. And Scott Galloway should be good as well. I'm not familiar with Josh Barro.

And of course, the opening and New Rules are always fun!

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting, again.



I don't see the kitty in your post. Is it my computer?
