from the 2000s when he was doing Fear Factor/NewsRadio.

Fun fact, Ray Romano (of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ fame) was originally cast as the station’s handyman on NewsRadio but was let go before the pilot because producers felt he didn’t have the quick pacing to keep up with the rest of the cast. When Joe Rogan was hired to replace him, they retooled the character based on his standup routine from the time… Which was basically just ranting about drugs and conspiracy theories on stage.

That’s the only reason the Joe Garrelli character was a conspiracy theorist. So when people tell you “Joe Rogan used to be reasonable” they don’t know what they’re talking about. He was barely acting on that show. He’s always been a contrarian meathead conspiracy theorist.

Trump Makes RFK Jr. Pose With McDonald’s Meal

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, recently called Trump’s diet “poison.” On Saturday, he was photographed on Trump’s plane eating McDonald’s with the president-elect and his inner circle.

“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he said. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison. You have a choice between — you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s, like, when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

Pedo apologists get blocked. 👋

Yeah, there’s no probably about it. That’s just the joke.

Tim Onion

Wait, the CEO of The Onion goes by “Tim Onion” on Bluesky? My word, this whole thing just keeps getting funnier.

It’s strange here in the US too. I don’t know anyone that has a problem with that. That kind of puritanical attitude about drinking is not the prevailing sentiment here. Sure, my friends and I aren’t getting plastered at BBQ’s like we did in college, but it’s not like we aren’t having some beers at a cookout just because half of us have kids now. It’s just a vocal religious minority making a lot of noise. Don’t get me wrong, this country does have a different, more uptight, relationship with alcohol than Europe, but it’s not nearly as extreme as it may appear online and in media.

You… You, went to outer space?!

Sure, you’ve never been?

Imagine living such a privileged life that the closest you’ve ever come to feeling oppressed was when you had to wear a mask to pick up dino nuggets at Walmart. Preppers have always been clowns, but COVID definitely ruined what little facade there ever actually was about the “movement” being anything other than a masturbatory LARP.
