I'd say he is taking a piss, if he was serious it would be more passive aggressive and clad in false humility.

 

[Bear Ribs]

Is he serious, or is this satire?!

This is satire, Pat Sajak tends to be very sarcastic. Most of his posts I put in the Shitlording thread instead.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

Very much satire. I LOL'd pretty hard when I read it the first time.

 

[Bear Ribs]

Perhaps these will help make Pat's position clear.

The Wasp actress Evangeline Lilly attended an anti-vaccine mandate rally and publicly commented how she supports "Freedom Over Supposed Security" like some Founding Nazi.

The native Canadian wrote in the post that she stands with Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates and “believes nobody should ever be forced to inject their body.”

“I was in DC this weekend to support bodily sovereignty while Canadian truckers were rallying for their cross-country, peaceful convoy in support of the same thing,” Lilly said. “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under threat of: violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones, excommunication from society … under any threat whatsoever.”

“This is not the way,” the “Ant-Man” actress continued. “This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don’t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems.”

He did, but for a lot people nowadays the history of cinema started with the first MCU movie.

Bill Maher did a monologue on how far left the Democrats have become.

Bill Maher did a monologue on how far left the Democrats have become.

Unfortunately it's tainted by him reminding us that, while he recognizes that there is a problem, his personal bias renders him incapable of recognizing its true cause (Or indeed, its full scope; considering that dig he squeezed in at those of us who know the 2020 election was fraudulent); i.e. people like him who kept pushing and pushing for more insanity, and are only balking now that they feel threatened by the monster they created. Bill Maher made his bed; he has to lie in it now.

True. Though in my humble opinion, better late than never (as the majority is still doing).

Levi's Brand President, Jennifer Sey, walked away from the Denim company she worked for over twenty years and a million severance package so she could be free to speak out about school closures.

Things changed when Covid hit. Early on in the pandemic, I publicly questioned whether schools had to be shut down. This didn’t seem at all controversial to me. I felt—and still do—that the draconian policies would cause the most harm to those least at risk, and the burden would fall heaviest on disadvantaged kids in public schools, who need the safety and routine of school the most.

I wrote op-eds, appeared on local news shows, attended meetings with the mayor’s office, organized rallies and pleaded on social media to get the schools open. I was condemned for speaking out. This time, I was called a racist—a strange accusation given that I have two black sons—a eugenicist, and a QAnon conspiracy theorist.

In the summer of 2020, I finally got the call. “You know when you speak, you speak on behalf of the company,” our head of corporate communications told me, urging me to pipe down. I responded: “My title is not in my Twitter bio. I’m speaking as a public school mom of four kids.”

But the calls kept coming. From legal. From HR. From a board member. And finally, from my boss, the CEO of the company. I explained why I felt so strongly about the issue, citing data on the safety of schools and the harms caused by virtual learning. While they didn’t try to muzzle me outright, I was told repeatedly to “think about what I was saying.”

Meantime, colleagues posted nonstop about the need to oust Trump in the November election. I also shared my support for Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary and my great sadness about the racially instigated murders of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. No one at the company objected to any of that.

Then, in October 2020, when it was clear public schools were not going to open that fall, I proposed to the company leadership that we weigh in on the topic of school closures in our city, San Francisco. We often take a stand on political issues that impact our employees; we’ve spoken out on gay rights, voting rights, gun safety, and more.

The response this time was different. “We don’t weigh in on hyper-local issues like this,” I was told. “There’s also a lot of potential negatives if we speak up strongly, starting with the numerous execs who have kids in private schools in the city.”

Yesterday I Was Levi’s Brand President. I Quit So I Could Be Free.

I turned down $1 million severance in exchange for my voice.

Evangeline Lilly NOOOOO!!!!!

“Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, I want to speak to you today about your current approach to and treatment of our fellow Canadians who are protesting your federal vaccine mandates.”

“They have asked to meet with you, prime minister, medical experts, top scientists, doctors, nurses, parents, grandparents, intelligent, loving, concerned citizens,” she added, attempting to appeal to his humanity. “Why won’t you sit with them?”

“If you are so convinced of your own reasons for the mandates, sit down and walk the leaders of the group of 2.3 million protesters across the country — who represent many millions more across the nation — and explain it to them and ask them to listen with open hearts and minds, and then reciprocate,” Lilly encouraged Trudeau.

“Listen to what they have to say with a mind open to hearing things that might go against the ideas you are entrenched in,” she continued. “Maybe there are solutions that can bring Canadians together right now that you have not considered.”

The Wasp actress further explained, “You unify people by finding solutions together, not by vilifying those who say there is a better way.”

“What we need right now from our leadership is unification, and that requires being willing to see, recognise and hear from the people sitting out in the cold at your door,” Lilly urged the Canadian Prime Minister.

The Canadian actress has made a call for dialogue smh. Why has she joined the Fascists?

Sam Elliot was on the Marc Maron Podcast and talked about some Western titled The Power of Dog and apparently had some thoughts about it.

“You want to talk about that piece of shit?” Elliott started out.

“You didn’t like that one?” Maron asked.

“Fuck no. Why? I’ll tell you why I didn’t like it anyway,” Elliott said. “I looked at when I was down there in Texas doing ‘1883’ and what really brought it home to me the other day when I said, ‘Do you want to fucking talk about it?’ There was a fucking full-page ad out in the LA Times and there was a review, not a review, but a clip, and it talked about the ‘evisceration of the American myth.’ And I thought, ‘What the fuck? What the fuck?’ This is the guy that’s done westerns forever. The evisceration of the American west? They made it look like — what are all those dancers that those guys in New York who wear bowties and not much else. Remember them from back in the day?”

As Maron pointed out, he was referring to Chippendales dancers.

“That’s what all these fucking cowboys in that movie look like,” Elliott said. “They’re all running around in chaps and no shirts. There’s all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the fucking movie.”

“I think that’s what the movie’s about,” Maron said of the film, in which it’s more than heavily implied that Benedict Cumberbatch’s rancher Phil Burbank is a repressed gay man.

Elliott went on to say that Campion, a native of New Zealand, was out of her element in tackling this particular genre.

“What the fuck does this woman — she’s a brilliant director by the way, I love her work, previous work — but what the fuck does this woman from down there, New Zealand, know about the American west? And why in the fuck does she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana and say, ‘This is the way it was.’ That fucking rubbed me the wrong way, pal,” Elliott said. “The myth is that they were these macho men out there with the cattle. I just come from fucking Texas where I was hanging out with families, not men, families, big, long, extended, multiple-generation families…” he trailed off in the clip below.

"Why in the f*ck does she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana and say, ‘This is the way it was'?" Elliott pondered.
