Tucker is not an outsider as he portrays himself. His father, Dick Carlson, was the president of Voice of America, which makes him tied to the CIA. Tucker is very likely a fed.

It's interesting that a casino is willing to post this,

The casino doesn't own that website or the arena. The casino payed money to name the building as part of an advertising deal. It's like a sponsorship. The building is not a casino. I don't think the Grand Casino has any actual control over who performs at the building.

The stadium is owned by the City Government. The website is operated by some company called 'Saint Paul Arena Company'.

Grand Casino Arena is publicly owned by the City of St Paul Minnesota. Grand Casino purchased the naming rights of the venue in 2025. It was previous named 'Xcel Energy Center'.

The venue is also used as a hockey arena for the Minnesota Frost and Minnesota Wild hockey teams.

Government subsidizing the stadium of sporting teams is sometimes considered a scam. The premise is that the sporting events will bring tourism into the city so that the city receives more trade.

Here's the tweet where DaBaby denied being involved in the event after a right wing influencer named CJ Pearson said he would be there. The Complex article mentions that Waka Flocka Flame has been a Trump supporter for years and endorsed Trump in the 2024 election.

Lindsey Graham says "The wars of the future are being planned here in Israel."

 

The Lakers player responded in part: “I hope I inspire people over there (Israel) not only to be great in sports, but to be better in general in life, hopefully someday I can make it over there,” adding that he has “heard nothing but great things” about the country.

This is a clickbait article to make the reader feel a sense of superiority. The forum thread is linked on the article. It's not a real blind test. Secondly the title is just a straight up lie, it's not that they couldn't tell that the sounds were different, they could not determine the original sound.

The test includes 4 unmarked 30 second clips of various songs. 1 clip is the original file, 1 clip is the file looped through a copper cable, 1 clip is the file looped through a banana, 1 clip is the file looped through mud. If this were a serious test, the original sample would be labeled so that people would know what the reference point is. Secondly, how would anyone be able to tell the difference between mud and banana? Do you know what a banana sounds like?

The forum post was just meant to be a silly game and the article treats it as a serious test.

I have 4 printing of the Mona Lisa. One printing is the original, one printing I dipped in water, one printing I dipped in apple juice, and one printing I dipped in piss. Can you spot which Mona Lisa was dipped in apple juice and which one was dipped in piss? The Mona Lisa is already pretty yellow, which yellow is the correct yellow?

Right wingers have been harassing Billie Eilish because she said 'Fuck ICE' at the Grammys. I think Drew is probably lying about being deported though.

I think rock music in general, heavily uses a "rebel without a cause" trope. They present themselves as fighting against a status quo or authority without specific details. It allows the audience to substitute their own personal grievances as the enemy of the song. This steals the revolution aesthetic and defangs it to be brand friendly, compatible with corporations.

Nickelback took this method to the extreme. Rebellious aesthetic without any sort of tangible goals and completely toothless. Also low effort.

Here's my previous post about the bipartisan efforts to repeal Section 230. Basically Section 230 says that websites can't be held legally responsible for things said by the users, example: Hexbear Mods aren't legally responsible for Hexbear users saying illegal things.

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, February 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party Korea, released the following press statement "ROK authorities should take steps to prevent reoccurrence of provocative sovereignty violation" on Feb. 12:

I think it fortunate that Jong Tong Yong, minister of Unification of the ROK, officially expressed regret on February 10 over the case of drone intrusion into the DPRK that occurred at the outset of the new year.

I appreciate it as quite sensible behavior.

But the ROK authorities are required to take preventive measures to surely guarantee that such serious infringement of sovereignty as violating the airspace of our Republic would never happen again, instead of seeking to gloss over with such mere expression of regret the crisis they brought.

Explicitly speaking once again, we don't care who the very manipulator of the drone infiltration into the airspace of the DPRK is and whether it is an individual or a civilian organization.

What we take seriously is just the fact that a ROK-borne drone violated the airspace of our country, a grave encroachment of our sovereignty.

I give advance warning that reoccurrence of such provocation as violating the inalienable sovereignty of the DPRK will surely provoke a terrible response.

Various counterattack plans are on the table and one of them will be chosen without doubt and it will go beyond proportionality.

I warn the ROK authorities to pay heed to prevention so that such a foolish deed would never recur again inside their country. -0-
