#DeSantis is now saying that he’s willing to meet with #Disney CEO #BobIger to show him how much money #Disingenuous has made for #Disney by staying open during #Covid

Disney’s Response:

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @tod

I'm not a Facebook shill; I detest Facebook and always have; I have never had an account. I would be perfectly happy to drop Zuckerberg into whichever of Hawaii's volcanoes is closest to his private estate.

I'm also not defending Google - I don't use their services and don't have an account there, either.

What I'm saying is that this outcome was both #predictable - it doesn't make #financial sense to pay to link - and #predicted. Acting shocked now is #disingenuous.

Word of the day: disingenuous #disingenuous

Venting ahead ⚠️

It's entertaining (/i hate it) that ppl say "unpopular opinion!" when really it's very popular - just very shitty (racist, sexist, #contrarian) & they want permission to express it as legit. #sealioning

Like that fuckin red scare balloon. The Pirate of the Caribbean abusing his gf. I don't need every famous asshole's opinion (or those who fancy themselves journalists or #influencers).

@dynaml True. In my experience that rule has applied not just to #science but any field of #endeavour. My #politics & #principles have always gotten in the way of any career advancement. Never did learn to keep my mouth shut or be #disingenuous. (#diplomatic) 😎

This is why MAGA are going after the Bidens:

"The vote against Ilhan Omar does a disservice to Jews – and the fight against antisemitism" https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2023/02/03/ilhan-omar-removed-house-committee-republicans-fake-outrage-antisemitism/11174592002/ #Trump #GOP #IlhanOmar #politics #disingenuous #hypocritical #antisemitism

So, #Sunak wants to appear as the saviour of the #NHS with his #emergency 'fixes'.

Let's not fall for this #disingenuous crap from the #Tories who have systematically underfunded the health service for their entire squalid existence.

P.S. Don't attempt walking on water #Sunak

First it’s the #mRNA #vaccines that are causing increase in #stroke & #heartAttack but now let’s blame #cholesterol from a rare #genetic #disorder that’s all of a sudden rampant everywhere happening to everyone at once🙄

*Fletcher: Well, the Prime Minister ultimately has control of all the access, all of the resources of federal government.*
No, no s/he doesn't.
I know it's hard after Morrison's brilliant spell, but we don't have a presidency. That's not how Aus Gov works, much as former Ministers might wax nostalgic for the days of the Boss and Captain's Picks #disingenuous

What's the point of Squealer Philp doing the media round when he claims "I don't know the facts" to virtually every question? And when he does know, everything is supposedly being dealt with? #Disingenuous #ApologistInChief @BBCr4today@twitter.com

After Trump’s 4 criminal referrals, I wonder how the #evangelicals are going to respond. Will the prominent #Christian leaders finally distance themselves from #Trump ? Or will they continue to be complicit in his criminality? #criminal #hyprocrites #disingenuous #religion #crimes #racist #racism #facist #blackmasadon #guiltbyassociation #politics #justice

“The vulnerability of older people to #viruses is neither surprising, nor new. The more we age, the more we accumulate scars from previous illness & chronic conditions that put us at higher risk of severe illness.”

These articles always put in a couple truths easily missed; this had mask hypocrisy & “barring a new #variant“

I think the worst thing about this was the people who came and said, yeah, but what about *insert random unrelated thing*

I've learned to never take that bait.

Deflection, "What about", that's what people who can't defend a position use to deflect away from a subject they can't "win" or justify.

But what about?

So you agree that's problematic?

But what about?

I'd be happy to go into other topics, but can you answer my question?

But what about?

Do you agree that's a problem, or no?

But what about

the only answer at that point is block and move on with life. They're not going to take the time to acknowledge the one thing, and you've made an effort, given them opportunities. Whataboutism is a cancer.

I'm absolutely cool with having other discussions once the topic at hand is settled, but using unrelated topics as a means of ignoring the topic at hand is a weak way to debate.
