Umm.. what?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/20/media/van-jones-bezos-100-million/index.html

undefined posted...
Jeff Bezos, the Amazon (AMZN) founder and world's wealthiest man, said Tuesday after flying to the edge of space that he planned to award $100 million each to CNN contributor Van Jones and chef Jos Andrs.

Bezos said that Jones and Andres were free to do "what they want" with the money.

"They can give it all to their own charity," Bezos said at a press conference after his trip to space. "Or they can share the wealth. It is up to them."

The money, Bezos said, was tied to a "surprise" philanthropic initiative he wanted to announce called the Courage and Civility Award.

The award aims to honor those who have "demonstrated courage" and tried to be a unifier in a divisive world, Bezos added.

"We need unifiers and not vilifiers," Bezos said. "We need people who argue hard and act hard for what they believe. But they do that always with civility and never ad hominem attacks. Unfortunately, we live in a world where this is too often not the case. But we do have role models."

Jones, accepting the award, said that "sometimes dreams come true."

"You bet on me and I appreciate it," Jones told Bezos, later adding that it was money for him to "give to others who have a similar spirit."

Andrs, who has poured his efforts into feeding those in need around the world, said that the award itself "cannot feed the world on its own."

"But," Andrs added, "this is a start of a new chapter for us."

Anderson Cooper, who was anchoring CNN's special coverage on Tuesday, said on-air after Bezos announced the award that it was "quite a surprise."
"None of us knew anything about it," Cooper said.

Like, if I was Van Jones or Jose Andres, I'd be too embarrassed to accept this, and would just ask him to donate it to a charity himself.

Edit: I think the two of them both have charities, so just donate it to that instead. WTF?

I mean, yes. It's a somewhat common conservative talking point in the US that covid is basically harmless unless you also have another more serious condition -- like obesity.

just read more about this on twitter and apparently the reporter asked that question in direct response to greene saying children and skinny people can't get covid so never mind my comment. i guess i gave her the benefit of the doubt by assuming she was laughing because she found the question a little weird (that still wouldn't excuse the response, mind you) but nope. she literally just thinks people dying of covid is hilarious.

i didn't know greene that well but apparently she's some kind of insane qanon white supremacist so yeah, i guess her stances on covid aren't too surprising.

Over in the House, McCarthy picked his 5 choices for the 1/6 Select Committee. Includes 3 members who voted against certification - including Jim Jordan. Pelosi has veto power though (because she trolled them and adopted the exact language for formation of the committee the GOP used for the Benghazi committees) so she better toss them and say anyone who opposed certification isn't getting on the committee.

Well there you go

What was the logic behind allowing 1 of the 3 against certification to remain? Would be easier to defend if she had just gone the simple route of saying no to anyone stupid enough to not certify.

I will say that the confidence in which he spoke it (almost bellowed it out like a killer line to win an argument) and the nonchalant reaction in the room is a perfect encapsulation of the longstanding, normalized racism in the South. This is just normal shit in like 30% of the country.

Not only is this guy unapologetic, but he's saying he might run for mayor. And then there's this gem:

Asked whether he is a racist, Bryant demurred.

It's according to what your definition of the word racist is. What a lot of the public's definition is, I might be a racist. But according to what the true definition of a racist is, absolutely not," he told the station.

Should have rejected all 3, but at least she kicked Jordan off, that was the important one because he made no secret that his plan was to just yell and shit it up and turn it into a circus.

holy fuck

so Greene and QAnon came up a few posts ago and this is kind of tangentially related but just on its own holy fuck you kind of knew it would inevitably reach this point but

A Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor's father has gone full QAnon and now accuses his child of being in on "the hoax." The account is fucking heartbreaking and enraging and the suspected point where he went from "just" QAnon to accusing his kid seems to be the father watching a video of Greene harassing David Hogg.

https://twitter.com/debdrens/status/1417472760096428033

Like I'm catching up on some of the news today and even came across some damning data on how lack of (or even delayed) Medicaid expansion under the ACA in red states has led to a massive disparity in medical debt against states who did expand but then I came across this and basically had my jaw drop.
