Other than guessing "a rapper", I didn't know either.

Looks like he worked with Outkast (in case you've heard of them) and T.I.

I'm currently deep in the rabbit hole. They do some excellent videos. And I am definitely digging the beats. But the lyrics will take a lot of listens.

That depends. Do you want increased risk of Avian Flu spreading from boidstacowtahewmans?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged medical practitioners on Friday to be on the lookout for people who might have contracted H5N1 bird flu from cows. The agency also urged state health departments to rapidly assess any suspected human cases, and recommended that dairy farms with confirmed or suspected outbreaks require workers to use personal protective equipment.

Do you agree with that final statement of the video, Moliere? :?

I found that to be a remarkably embarrassingly odd assessment and closing statement to that lady's speech.

No, that is just another dumb generality that people like to make. Like Trump voters are racists. It's easier to be lazy than nuanced.

Generalities exist because odds are in their favour, not because they are wrong. Unless your generality is not based on reality, of course. How do we tell the difference?

So, I spent 30 seconds fact checking and confirmed someone edited his comments in from a video 9 years ago:

Or you can treat people as individuals and not lump them in with a group.

Oh I’m fully aware that clip was spliced in and was not originally speaking to that lady’s comments on the moon.

That’s why I blamed the video. The video maker thought it was a great zinger to add, but I found it entirely “record needle scratch” wrong.

If I wanted to mock that woman’s speech (and I would), I would probably have hunted for a video that didn’t have that last bit included, out of the fear that someone whom I shared it with may think I agreed with the final sentiment of the video.

That's right, everyone is a unique snowflake.

But in all seriousness, we group things, including people, but by like attributes. That's what humans do. If you don't like it, well, you've got your work cut out for you.

I love Adam Carolla as a comic, but when he would trot out Prager on his podcasts I felt that was the start of his turn from libertarian to MAGA adjacent conservative. As a libertarian I could still enjoy his comedy. As a devotee of Prager, he's become far less open minded and his jokes go from cruel to really cruel now. I'm surprised that Kimmel and he are still such good friends.
He won. Period.
