Watching the Democrats asking incredibly nonsensical and stupid questions of Zuckerberg yesterday, I'm reminded of the ST:OS episode I, Mudd when Kirk and crew start acting in completely illogical ways and speaking nonsense until the human like robots short circuit. I kept waiting for Mark's head to lob over and smoke to come out of him.

I enjoyed AOC talking to him about fact checking.

Maybe that dumb ass should fact check socialism.

Borat bashes FB and other tech giants for allowing hate speech online.

Nice sentiment, but the problem with his speech is "Who determines what is hate speech and what isn't?"

Sure, removing Holocaust deniers is easy. Same for flat Earthers and anti-vaxxers.

However, what happens when we start removing opinion as hate speech? How about fictional works?

Some people don't realize that "blocking hate speech" literally means "censoring the internet," which they also claim to hate because that's what fascists do.

Stephen King, noted left winger, quits FB because they allow politicians to lie.

I hate fake posturing like what King is doing.

All fucking politicians lie, stretch the truth, don't tell the full truth, etc. Pretending it's only on FB, when you're a noted CNN viewer is hypocrisy.

No argument, but so is Twitter, and Instagram, and Pinterest, and yada yada yada.

Kid murdered while livestreaming.

Wasn't sure where else to put this... You know someone is going to blame FB in some way.

Musk calls it lame while Cohen blasts it.

FB gets a ton of criticism for "not fact checking its political ads". Is that their job? I don't think it is.

Maybe Cohen should demand Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc fact check their own content if he's worried about the spread of misinformation?

I've never been clear on the difference between bi and pan. I once asked a Tinder girl who described herself as pansexual if that meant boys, girls, and animals. She wasn't amused, didn't have sex with her.

Big Mouth taught me that pansexual means you're attracted to everyone. Men, women, gay men, gay women, men transitioning to women, women transitioning to men, etc.

A gay man obviously wouldn't want any female parts anywhere in his bedroom.

A bisexual, I assume, is fine with anything except the folks transitioning? Isn't "bisexual" contrary to the entire movement as it's such a dated concept? I mean, if there are 47 genders...

Yeah, being "bi" sounds more bigoted than just being straight.

"I'm hetero, and only attracted to other hetero people with the opposite genitals, because biology."

versus

"I like both men and women, but those trans people can go to hell."

Only one of those is hateful. ;)
