Listen to both parts of this episode, it’s an excellent listen. Eiynah is having really important conversations and we should be paying attention.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

There have been some incredible highs at this World Cup, despite FIFA and the trumpfantino double act. There have also been huge lows in the treatment of Iran and other Global South teams. That Algeria match should’ve ended right after Algeria’s third goal. Oh, and the VAR calls have been garbage.

If you get sued by a government for reporting that its soldiers torture and rape people, that is the discovery opportunity of a lifetime and a pathway to court-ordered revelations or that government being forced to rely on sovereign immunity to shield itself from disclosure and lose the case.

Seeing a lot of discussion about this and here are my two cents. MTG and Carlson are both white nationalists. However, I think the fact that the Dems are losing the moral high ground to literal white nationalists on this issue, whatever the latters’ motivations, is damning. 1/2
