I like the guy but …no It’s bad enough that we have wingnut anti-vaxxers spreading lies and making the world a more dangerous place. Do we really need supposedly left wing movie actors doing the same thing? After a winding story about smoking weed — shouting-out his pot shop in West Hollywood, The Woods, and claiming his manager, Jeremy, transported weed from the LA shop to New York for him — Harrelson went into a spiel about the pandemic. The self-proclaimed “anarchist” joked about a supposed movie script, a clear metaphor for the pandemic, that went, “The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes, and people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs — and keep taking them — over and over.” Except for the deadly virus that actually killed well over a million people in the US alone in less than two years, this is super right on. He’s been saying stupid shit about the pandemic for a while. Maybe he could just hang out with Joe Rogan and do that instead of going on SNL?

To residents of Memphis’s resource-poor, predominantly nonwhite neighborhoods, the Scorpions were easy to spot. The plainclothes patrols were known for driving their unmarked Dodge Chargers through the streets, often all too recklessly, sowing fear as they went, spitting venom from their windows, jumping out with guns drawn at the slightest sign of an infraction. On the night of January 7th, Tyre Nichols was two minutes from home when members of that squad pulled him over. Probable cause: reckless driving (if you believe the official story). Five Scorpions, all of them trained use-of-force specialists, proceeded to take turns hitting him with everything they had, including boots, fists, and telescopic batons. The 29-year-old photographer died three days later. Cause of death? “Excessive... Read more
