I’ve seen this pod. And a lot of these clips. He’s definitely gone a bit right. This was a particularly hilarious misstep. Because he had a point he wanted to be true so bad….he just had no response.


I’ve watched a fair bit of Rogan. My suspicion is if you watched a lot of him (the guy does daily multi-hour podcasts) you’d have the same takeaway as me.

I was a big fan of his podcast, pre-COVID. His intent to mislead the public and spread so much disinformation should’ve been a red flag for anyone still trying to defend him.

People likely lost their lives because of his campaign of misinformation wrt COVID. If you care about truth and science, you would never find a way to validate “liking” Joe or dismissing his responsibility to inform the public truthfully given his massive platform.

Then you pile on his platforming of grifters, conspiracy theorists and bad actors, the picture is pretty clear about who Joe is and what he portends to believe.

He’s not someone you should be defending.

This is a copy/paste from months back when folks started to discuss Joe. I'll share again.

Here's a few of his claims over the last few years:
  • Healthy, young people don't need COVID vaccines
  • That Myocarditis risk is higher from vaccines than from COVID
  • That Ivermectin can drive the pathogen to extinction
  • mRNA vaccines are essentially gene therapy
  • Vaccines are unnecessary because your antibodies will protect you
  • Lockdowns were unnecessary and used to control the population
  • That Biden never actually received the vaccine on camera (it was a hoax)
  • That CDC death certification was misdirected (ex. that a patient with a gunshot to the head and COVID infection deemed the cause of death to be COVID)
  • That long-term injuries occurred because of the vaccine
  • That CDC deaths were inflated by ignoring other causes
  • The vaccine was an illegal mandate
Here's a little excerpt:

“COVID was just so strange,” he said. “And we lost a lot of people during COVID, and most of them are still alive. There’s a lot of people that I don’t fuck with anymore. Before COVID, I would have told you that vaccines are the most important invention in human history. After COVID, I’m like, ‘I don’t think we went to the moon. I think Michelle Obama’s got a dick. I think Pizzagate is real. I think there’s direct energy weapons in Antarctica.’ I’m just kidding — I don’t think Michelle Obama’s got a dick, but I believe all of that other shit.”

That said, while I wish he was a bit more selective in his guests and definitely lets wild nonsense run loose on his show, I never have had and still do not have the impression he himself is acting in bad faith. Given that, I’m not on board for the level of vitriol that can be directed at him at times. There are so many bad faith actors out there - he is not one of them (though some of them use him).

I can agree that he is not intentionally a "bad faith actor", he's just a useful idiot to bad faith actors.

However, when you have the kind of platform he has, you have a responsibility to use it well. And Rogan actively leans in to using it poorly.

He may not be a operating in bad faith, but he certainly has no problem partnering with those who do to expand the reach of their bad faith activities.
 


My dad died of cancer at 53. His entire $100,000 life insurance policy went to paying medical expenses. And then my mom spent several years paying off the remainder.

The Valkyries of Democracy

In praise of three extraordinary women.

"... I believe that for all her political ambition, Kamala Harris is carrying this burden for us. She’s not Barack Obama, basking in the warmth of a cultural moment en route to becoming a cultural icon. She’s more like Frodo Baggins, walking toward Mordor while carrying a millstone around her neck, in an attempt to save all of Middle Earth from a dark fate.

Here are two things I truly believe: (1) Kamala Harris has wanted to be president for a long time; and (2) Kamala Harris never wanted to run for president with the fate of democracy on the line.

When Howard Stern interviewed Harris, he asked her about the pressure and she answered that she literally loses sleep over it. That she goes to bed every night wondering, “Is there anything else I could have done?”

I cannot imagine that burden. And I am grateful—in my heart—to her for bearing it."

Tim's become a background figure recently, probably because he's had too much 'splaining to do about some of his bio claims, but he's still out there with the zingers, apparently.



Less a zinger than an accurate but mildly vulgar observation.
