Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Rogan isn’t a zealot. He’s a greedy idiot. Just like Oprah, who in addition to platforming Phil and Dr Oz was a major source of publicity for antivaxxers in the early 2000s thanks to boosting Jenny McCarthy. 0110
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 08/10/2026She built a platform that people trusted and gave these guys a place on it. She’s just as culpable for their impacts as Rogan is for the trash he uncritically puts on his podcast. 1131
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 23/09/2026They’re keeping everything functioning. The TFW program is absolutely abused by corporations to suppress wages, but the solution is not to attack the workers. It’s to do a better job of regulating business. 094
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Like, I believe you and agree that it’s not his *intent* to place responsibility for Israel’s actions on the Jewish community at large, but man did he ever word his statement in a way that can be interpreted that way by the wrong people. 100
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 23/09/2026www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c... “We (Jews) failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide” isn’t what he said in the quote in this article? Weird.msn.comMSN 100
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 22/09/2026For sure, there are many high profile Jews who have spoken out against the genocide / in support of Palestine. I just think his wording 100% plays into the false narrative that Israel represents the Jewish community, which is then twisted to claim that any criticism of Israel is antisemitism. 100
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A lot of writers are taking his statement to ridiculous extremes, but I can see why it’s deserving of critique. With the way pro-Israel voices conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, his statement plays right into their narrative that Israel actually is synonymous with the Jewish community. 200
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 22/09/2026He didn’t criticize a genocide. He criticized the global Jewish community for failing to stop it. If someone can hold Jews at large responsible for failing to stop Israel, doesn’t that imply that Jews at large are responsible for all of Israel’s actions, which we’re explicitly against doing? 300

Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The ideal thing is to just stay home unless you absolutely can’t (e.g. can’t afford not to work). Going to social events, non-essential shopping, etc. while sick is a ridiculous thing for the average person who gets a respiratory illness for like a week out of the year. 270

Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I’m assuming head fatalities are more common for pedestrians because they’re lower to the ground; get hit by an SUV and it’ll probably smoke a shorter person’s head. Cyclists would be impacted more torso/abdomen. It’s a bad article, honestly. 000
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026That article does nothing to exclude motor vehicle collisions, so it’s useless. We’re talking about the risk of the activity itself, not when being struck by a car. 001
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Or 20 km/h or 15. If you hit your head on the concrete from a standstill it can be fatal; a bicycle just increases the risk substantially because you’re moving, have less control over your falls, etc. The point is that helmets are valuable regardless of what your cycling infrastructure looks like. 120
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026If you’re cycling at 30 km/h and you bail, you want a helmet regardless of whether there was a car involved or not. 150
Brent @bumpernackle.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Yeah the US has shown it’s not ready for a female president the last two times a woman has run. The fact that Harris lost to a 2nd Trump term after he was previously beaten by grandpa Biden makes that pretty evident. 030
