“CS: Can we get into the science of weathering a little bit?
AG: There have been folk notions and laypeople have thought that health differences between populations — such as black versus white in the U.S. — were somehow related to differences in our DNA, that we were, in a sense, molecularly programmed to have this disease or that disease. But instead, social and environmental factors, can through what’s called DNA methylation, which occurs — I don’t know how technical you want to get — but that occurs when a group of molecules attach methyl groups to specific areas of a gene’s promoter region, and either prevent the reading of certain genes and sort of forms the gene’s product, and you have genetic expression of that gene. That’s a pretty powerful idea, and it sort of refutes the kind of more DNA-centric one, that you are destined by the literal DNA you have to have certain diseases or not.
But what I’ve seen over the years of my research and lifetime is that the stressors that impact people of color are chronic and repeated through their whole life course, and in fact may even be at their height in the young adult-through-middle-adult ages rather than in early life. And that increases a general health vulnerability — which is what weathering is.”
“In the latest installment of the Twitter Files, journalist Matt Taibbi reveals the far too cozy relationship between a variety of government agencies and Twitter that led the social media platform to censor even information deemed accurate about COVID vaccines if it was determined the information might encourage vaccine hesitancy. In their zealousness Twitter even went so far as to censor jokes that were deemed dangerous or tweets that might hurt Anthony Fauci’s credibility.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the rest of the media’s unwillingness to engage with the dangerous implications of the Twitter Files stories.”
They lie about all sorts of things…since long before the pandemic…They like targeting isolated, marginalized and vulnerable minorities…minorities exactly like MAPs…And MAPs Have been viciously targeted.
It’s the complete, total debasement of communication, itself…
…That is exactly what has been going on.
…And, Jimmy is now hocking nutritional suppliments…
…”great”…That’s not going to be horrible optics at all…yeah…
Why does Jimmy continually resemble “the lefts Alex Jones”?…
“Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel recently appeared before a Senate committee and was grilled during the hearing by Kentucky Republican Rand Paul about the conflict of interests alleged over money paid by Moderna to the National Institutes of Health and the increased risk of myocarditis for young men after receiving COVID vaccinations. In a particularly tense exchange, Senator Paul flat out accused Bancel of lying about his vaccine and myocarditis.”
“During a sparsely-attended protest outside of Trump Tower this week, a group of paranoid and confused Trump supporters began accusing one another of being undercover federal agents attempting to make the crowd get violent. This is what happens when right wing conspiracy theories grow too large – the whole base starts to believe them and they think only THEY are the righteous ones while everyone else is a phony. Farron Cousins explains what happened.
*This transcript was auto-generated. Please excuse any typos.
So all week as they’ve been awaiting the, uh, you know, indictment of Donald Trump, his supporters have taken to the streets, they’ve been having these protests, they’ve been protesting outside a Trump tower, which is actually a weird place to protest because that, that’s the guy, like, that’s not where he’s gonna be charged, that, that’s where he kind of lives sometimes. Um, so it’s a weird place to protest, but nevertheless, that’s where a sparsely attended protest for Donald Trump took place this week. That quickly devolved into chaos as the protestors began accusing one another of secretly being undercover federal agents sent to the protest to, uh, you know, stoke the flames of violence there. And this is what happens when Republican conspiracy theories go a little too meta. You see, Marjorie Taylor Green among many other conservatives this week, has called for people to not protest an indictment because they say there could be feds out there, right?
Just like January 6th, which isn’t what happened at all. But there could be feds out there that are saying like, yeah, hey, go break a window or two, and then boom, you get arrested, you make us all look bad. And that conspiracy theory has become so deep within these Trump people that they now think based on these reports of what they’re accusing each other of, they think they’re the only righteous one, right? So you show up at a Trump, a pro-Trump protest, you’re like, I’m a real deal. I love Trump. I got my MAGA hat. I’m doing good. Don’t throw him in jail. And then you see other people there. But because these conspiracy theories are so deeply rooted, now you’re like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Marjorie Taylor Green told me, and I don’t like you, guy. I think you’re all feds. You gonna get me in trouble? You’re a fed. But when you have everybody thinking that same thought, then suddenly everybody becomes a suspect. It’s paranoid, it’s delusional. But that is the world that these freaks, and that’s what they are, are living in. They are so paranoid that they can no longer trust one another. They can’t trust their friends standing next to them at the protest. Maybe the feds got to you. I don’t know. Are you gonna push me to do something illegal? I want to, but oh, don’t do it.
It’s, it’s almost perfect. Like this story is almost absolutely perfect because these people are getting what they deserve. This is what happens, one, when you’re a member of a cult and your cult leader gets in trouble. And two, this is what happens when you get sucked. So deep down to those conspiracy theory rabbit holes that you can
No longer, longer see daylight. You live in a world not just of pure fabrications, which is what your cult was. You now live in a paranoid, delusional world where nobody can be trusted, because that’s what those MAGA conspiracies have taught you. Everybody’s a fed, everybody’s out to get you. I can’t trust anybody. Can I trust myself? Maybe I’m the fed. I don’t even know anymore. Is that how you wanna live your life? Like for real? Is that how you want to go through life? Because if it is, then maybe the maga cult is for you. But if you’re a normal person who understands, hey, the guy did things that are wrong, maybe he should be, uh, you know, at least tried for it, he has a chance to defend himself, to not be, you know, convicted, let it play out. Or you can be a paranoid delusional freak who thinks that everybody else at that little bitty protest is a fed trying to get you to engage in illegal activities. I know which world I wanna live in. And apparently the MAGA freaks have also made their choice. They just picked the paranoid delusional world where they’re so divorced from reality that they can’t even trust their own reflection.
“Joe Biden never tires of telling Americans how he’s “taken on” Big Pharma when in reality he’s been a tremendous ally in the struggle to pad the nation’s pharmaceutical companies’ bottom lines. And in their service he recently refused requests to wield his power to lower the price of a $190,000 per year drug for prostate cancer patients. Give ‘em hell, Joe!
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the President’s fealty to Big Pharma while pretending to wage war against the industry.”
“Roseanne Barr had a really popular sitcom in the 90s but she’s moved on to being awful and spreading as much hate as possible. You might think that’s hyperbole. No. Those are her words. She wants to spread hate because hate is powerful.
This Alex Jones interview is just another in a long line of right wing show appearances. It’s really difficult to follow her thought processes or understand what she’s talking about. The parts she does make clear are very disturbing.”
Wait…
…She says she believes we can move objects [matter] with our minds [aka magical ability]…after telling us she’s here to “deprogram kids from the Harry Potter bullshit”?…
…Plus she wants to explain “how to kill satan”?!…
…How does this glaring contradiction get lost on her…let alone, lost on her fan base?…
Harry Potter is transparently fictional, on its face…What “bullshit” is there to “deprogram”?…Just keep your mind grounded in reality, and the fact that Harry Potter is fantasy fiction.
…Pushing the idea that you can do all of this Woo Stuff with your mind?…and claiming it is real?…That Is Pushing An Unsubstantiated, Magical Way Of Thinking!

“Roseanne Barr lost her TV contract a couple years back after a very gross tweet. Now she’s courting the far right hard and bragging about how racist, anti semitic, homophobic, and transphobic her stand up special is. I’m not kidding. She said those exact words herself. It is beyond bizarre. And the fun part- the stand up special was, of course, produced by Fox.
Now she’s doing an interview with Alex Jones. If you ever find yourself saying “Alex Jones is interviewing me,” you should reevaluate your life choices because something has gone terribly wrong. The interview goes as gross as you would expect it to, but there are some disturbing surprises along the way. This is part 1 of the wild Roseanne Barr Alex Jones team up.”

“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the most notorious and widely distributed antisemitic publication of modern times. Its lies about Jews, which have been repeatedly discredited, continue to circulate today, especially on the Internet. The individuals and groups who have used the Protocols are all linked by a common purpose: to spread hatred of Jews.
The Protocols is entirely a work of fiction, intentionally written to blame Jews for a variety of ills. Those who distribute it claim that it documents a Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. The conspiracy and its alleged leaders, the so-called Elders of Zion, never existed.”
“Elon Musk is ENDING the legacy Twitter Verified program as of April. This means all those celebrities and journalists who lorded it over the plebs will have to pay Musk $8 like everybody else. Or if they want to feel extra special, they can spend $1000 a month to get a GOLD check. And NOW the media says Bluechecks never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.”
“NPR is in deep sh*t. Their revenue is drying up and they had to slash 10% of their staff and cancel a bunch of podcasts. They’re going to ramp up calls for donations, but who has the money to bankroll them now? They’d better not try to shake down gamers, as their reporters spent years demonizing them.”
