Words with Friends and People We Like

AITOOW hates when people use two words that mean the same thing to describe something? It's quick and fast? Wow! Or when the second word is the definition of the first word. It's quick AND it moves fast? Wow!

No News Is Good News

AITOOW dumbfounded that no one finds it odd that every newscast is almost exactly the same every night? The same stories (no matter how contrived or sensational) in the same order with the same video outtakes/backdrop. Maybe a dissimilar slice of life puff piece at the end. One that they are probably "synergizing" with a sister company. If I didn't know better, I would say that that one entity was producing all content and then packaging it for sale to whomever wants it. It's like a teacher getting twenty four reports on (let's see what they probably find historically important nowadays) Martin Luther King's heroic struggle for his own well being that were all cut and pasted from the same website. You would think alarm bells would go off. Are people just not watching the news any more? Are people not furiously changing channels in disgust? Why is nothing said about it. Forget fake news. How about uniform news? If there is no news overlord then they must be coordinating or stealing content from each other. Do they all have spies in each others news rooms or is this where a "coordinator in chief" enters into it?

And why is the media so obsessed with exploiting/cashing in on an event? They try and turn every short story into an epic novel. That or they beat it to death. Or there network does a "news magazine" story on it. Oh yeah. The answer is $. That and it requires less work. You can "sample/steal" pre-existing content.

I'm also of the opinion that they fabricate/make news. Especially protest "news". It isn't just "prodding" or selectively seeking or questioning or editing responses and behaviors. I really believe they foster/coordinate outrage (other than the outrage they foment on air) to create content. Content they find "interesting/salacious" and politically orthodox. That or they are on speed dial with the agitators. Whose organizations they and their people probably support.

And I'd like to end with a "ho hum" to fake news. We have fake everything else nowadays. so why not news? I mean is it fake news that Miss (Liberal) Universe has had a nose job (fake nose et al)? That is oddly potentially  real news of a "fake".

Immi-grants

AITOOW thinks migration leads to imbalances in the world? And if it does then it can't be allowed according to socialistic/humanistic rhetoric. Anything that promotes inequities/imbalances is inherently amoral. Unless, I guess, the worst of a society invade a superior society. Is that what the left is affirming? As Trump says "we are not getting their best". I was foolish enough to begin my query with the belief that the most aspirational members of a community emigrate. Never mind.

Words with Friend

AITOOW thinks a hermit/outcast's lack of companionship makes him/her more susceptible/reliant on an invisible friend/ mystical figure? Kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Or circular construct.

Piss Poor-zingis

AITOOW thinks a point guard should get an assist if he dribbles up court (doesn't pass to anyone) and scores? I think the "no assist" rule makes it seem like shoot first point guards are less valuable than their pass first cousins. Both result in a field goal. Why is one penalized because he can do the scoring. He just "passed" to himself.

FYI -everytime I've seen Porzingis, he looks average at best. I thought he was a shot blocker?

Content of Their Color

AITOOW saw that universities are now accepting students whose only qualification is that an ancestor underwent slavery? And I'm not talking ITT Tech. Not white indentured or slavery or Jewish or Asian slavery mind you. No white liberal guilt about that. It seems that all those "points" systems weren't "remedial" or effective enough to get those dummies a diploma they don't deserve. And they left off grades or test scores decades ago. It seems that that it is true that all they have to do is "stay black and die". Fat white women and weak white men will do everything else for them.

To Know Him Is To Loath Him

AITOOW loves this quote by Mark Twain in The Innocents Abroad? "It may be thought that I am prejudiced,  Perhaps I am. I would be ashamed of myself if I were not". That was in response to the Italians he met in Naples. Makes me laugh at the quote Joseph Rosendo cites at the end of his travel show - "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness". Seems like he (Twain) reconsidered.

Side Hustle

AITOOW gets what the Academy awards nominees, Miss Universe finalists and Uber drivers have in common? They all are beneficiaries of affirmative action.

Pity Party

AITOOW thinks that you get no love if you help someone let loose? You think you are doing them a favor, but, they either resent it or are unchanged by it it or are unimpressed for it. Let them wallow in their own apprehension/apathy.
