Something that Mike said during the 20th anniversary doc that tickled my brain. Keep in mind that he said 'IN MY MIND' so not canon but REALLY cool on some 'possible' Gman lore. He said 'in my mind' the way Gman talks is because of hitches in a timeline. He is a 'man' of time so because he's in so many places at once he talks all messed up. You get different pitches in speech because he's speaking in multiple places at once. That's so NEAT? Of course that is Mike's own HC but it is so damn cool. I love Mike, man lol. He loves the characters he voices so much.

Shelby Jamerson at MMFA:

Right-wing media figures are attempting to cast vice presidential candidate Tim Walz as a “Radical Leftist Tyrant” who has declared “War on the Constitution” by latching onto one line from a 2022 post-midterms interview in which he described longstanding federal laws against spreading election falsehoods.

In the December 2022 interview, Walz seemingly referenced misinformation campaigns against mail-in ballots and other types of intimidation at the ballot box, saying, “Years ago it was the little things, telling people to vote the day after the election and we kind of brush them off. Now we know it's intimidation at the ballot box. It's undermining the idea that mail-in ballots aren’t legal. I think we need to push back on this. There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” Right-wing media are now distorting Walz’s words, specifically emphasizing the last part of the statement, “there’s no guarantee to free speech,” and characterizing it as an “attack on [the] First Amendment,” ignoring longstanding federal and state law related to elections. The federal government has long regulated and penalized certain types of misinformation about elections. One federal law makes it unlawful to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” exercising a constitutional or legal right, including the right to vote. Others prohibit conduct like giving false information in voter registration or voting, or voting more than once. 

Pro-election denialist right-wing media wankers baselessly call Minnesota Gov. and Kamala Harris VP pick Tim Walz a “tyrant” for calling out the right’s nefarious misinformation campaign against vote-by-mail in a December 2022 interview on MSNBC’s The ReidOut.

La guerra legal de Smith contra Trump diseñada para generar titulares

A poco más de un mes de las elecciones, el juez de distrito estadounidense que odia a Trump Chutkan preguntó ha hecho público el discurso del fiscal especial Jack Smith, que odia a Trump 165 páginas justificación para privar al expresidente Donald Trump de sus derechos de la Primera Enmienda. En cuanto a las sorpresas de octubre, el comunicado redactado el miércoles no fue una gran sorpresa. El…

Parker Molloy at The Present Age:

Last week, the Harris-Walz campaign released a video featuring Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in a casual conversation at Aretha's Jazz Cafe in Detroit. The video, a slickly produced 10-minute conversation designed to showcase the ticket's chemistry and relatability, sparked predictable right-wing outrage. The only question was what portion of the video the right was going to act outraged about. At the top of the conversation, Walz admitted to enjoying "white guy tacos," explaining they consisted of "pretty much ground beef and cheese." When Harris playfully asked about adding flavor, Walz quipped, "Black pepper is the top of the spice level in Minnesota." This self-deprecating joke about Midwestern culinary blandness quickly became fodder for right-wing outrage, with conservative commentators accusing Walz of "anti-white racism" and self-flagellation. What was meant to be a lighthearted moment of campaign humanization instead became the latest battleground in America's culture wars.

The right’s flaming hot take.

The conservative response to Walz's taco comment was swift and, unsurprisingly, spicy. Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire tweeted, "See, folks, it's funny that white people hate spices! Not racist at all! Just funny!" He went on to argue that Europeans' historical involvement in the spice trade proved their love for seasoning. Shapiro's colleague, Matt Walsh, took it a step further, describing the exchange as "blatant anti-white racism." He posed a hypothetical: "Imagine if Donald Trump said that a 'black guy taco' was made with fried chicken and watermelon. Nuclear meltdown." This false equivalence ignores the long history of racist stereotypes associated with those foods, as well as the fact that Walz was poking fun of himself and making a lighthearted joke at the expense of a group he was a part of, not smearing an outside group. Even Senator Ted Cruz felt compelled to weigh in, bizarrely tweeting, "Hispanics are not tacos." This non-sequitur seemed to miss the point entirely, as neither Harris nor Walz had made any claims about Hispanic cuisine or identity. The outrage machine kicked into high gear when Mike Cernovich, known for promoting conspiracy theories, accused Walz of lying about his spice tolerance. Cernovich dug up a 2016 recipe for Walz's award-winning "Turkey Taco Tot Hotdish," which included mild green chilies and chili powder. This "gotcha" moment conveniently ignored the fact that hotdish, a Midwestern staple, is hardly known for its heat. Fox & Friends co-host Will Cain questioned Harris's taco expertise, while New York Post columnist Miranda Devine went so far as to describe Walz as "the Uncle Tom of white rural males." The hyperbole reached a fever pitch, with conservatives painting Walz's self-deprecating humor as a betrayal of his race and region. This overwrought reaction reveals more about the right's hair-trigger outrage reflex than it does about Walz's culinary preferences. It demonstrates how easily a moment of levity can be twisted into a culture war talking point, and how desperate some commentators are to find evidence of "anti-white racism" in the most innocent of exchanges.

[...] Beyond that, it feeds into a narrative of conservative victimhood. By framing every joke, product change, or casting decision as an assault on traditional values, right-wing media can position conservatives as an embattled minority fighting against a hostile "woke" culture. This persecution complex is a powerful motivator for political action and donations. The constant stream of faux controversies creates a boy-who-cried-wolf effect. When everything is outrageous, nothing is. This makes it easier to dismiss genuine concerns and criticisms as just another example of "cancel culture" or "political correctness run amok." The "white guy tacos" incident is a perfect example of this in action. A harmless joke about food becomes, in the hands of right-wing commentators, evidence of a grand conspiracy against white identity. It's a tempest in a taco shell that reveals the true ingredients of conservative media's secret sauce: a dash of fear, a pinch of resentment, and a heaping helping of manufactured outrage.

Right-wing crybabies offended over everything, “white guy tacos” edition: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) admitted to loving “white guy tacos”, and the right-wing media apparatus had a hissy fit over it.
