When Whales Attack. The recorded history of whales attacking boats goes back a very long time. (www.youtube.com)
 

By now you have probably heard the startling reports that, beginning in 2020, orcas- also commonly called killer whales- off the straits of Gibraltar, started attacking sailboats. While Orcas have not historically generally represented danger to people or boats, this new behavior isn’t the first time that people at sea have been terrorized by massive creatures of the deep.

Bennie Carollo has left TyT and explains how she repeatedly told both Cenk and Ana how their behavior and takes have been transphobic. If a trans host quits the network maybe it's not just bad faith. (www.youtube.com)
 

Over the past several months Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur have taken increasingly transphobic stances, especially regarding trans women in sports but also more generally when it comes to trans youth getting access to gender affirming care.

They have begun to lash out at anyone that calls them out on where they are wrong and basically refused to learn. Recently Ana went so far as to defend Jesse Singal, who is very well known as a transphobe.

Wow, I came here to say this.

And for a supposedly hands-off Creator, Iluvatar sure gets involved a lot. Not just at Mount Doom, but he raised Gandalf from the dead and did a bunch of other stuff that I forget.

It is politics of The Other. To the conservatives, the ingroup is Americans and the outgroup is non-Americans. To the liberals, their ingroup is the conservatives' outgroups and their outgroup are the conservatives. This is why you will see things like libs cheerfully go into dangerous locales to prove everything is OK. These are their ingroups! And then they get beaten, stabbed or run over and can't understand what happened. To the people that live there, all Americans are definitely The Other to them, and thus are fair game.

I think everyone knows how The Other gets treated: you can do anything to them. They're not people, so they are outside the law. That's where the word "outlaw" came from, once you were declared an outlaw it was no longer a crime to do things like rob you or kill you. With all the things Trump can be criticized for (correctly), you see people calling him a piece of shit because he's fat. Or Clarence Thomas or Candace Owens being called a house Ns. I mean, that's the best you've got? You can't pick up any of the problems they are clearly guilty of? No, it has to be one of these.

Lib take:

One person is accused of rape, which the other person denies - which means either one person is a rapist or the other is making up a claim bout rape in the middle of a presidential campaign and by extension derailing democracy in America and imperiling the lives of millions.

That means either Joe Biden is a rapist on the loose or Tara Reade is essentially a terrorist. Compassion for victims does not apply here - Tara Reade needs to provide detailed accounts of everything she's done for the last 25 years and find some way of verifying this - or she needs to acknowledge she's a liar and face the consequences. Joe Biden needs to provide double blind presentation of timelines and like you say, lets see where the chips fall. And if Tara Reade is lying, she needs to go to jail for decades.

Compassion for rape victims is one thing. Taking allegations seriously is one thing. We have a democracy under threat from a fascist president. Tara Reade is an adult and she needs to be treated like one AND she needs to act like one. Prove your claim Tara. The burden is on her.
