    Rightwing foghorn Ben Shapiro challenged Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a debate. Her answer:

    “Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”

    Good for her.

    Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is being smart. Never show up to a battle of wits unarmed. It’s a good example of self-preservation on her part.

    @2 @3 Ocasio-Cortez is going to Congress, Shapiro will always be a nobody. Running up the score against a defeated opponent is unkind and unsportsmanlike.

    “The Federal Communications Commission and its sort-of-sleazy chairman Ajit Pai have been forced to admit they were lying when they said the FCC was cyberattacked last year. The FCC’s comment system, which is on old and decrepit machinery and software, did in fact fail last fall, but not because it was hacked. It failed because millions of people were attempting to register their support for net neutrality. Not only did Pai lie about the attack, but he lied about the support for net neutrality, and used those excuses to overturn the open internet rule the FCC had passed in 2015. The big problem Pai has now is the lying to Congress part of this story.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: B-b-b-ut lying to Congress isn’t a crime when Republicans do it — is it? Don’t they get special privileges?

    The California wildfire accused arsonist is a sovereign citizen and rightwing conspiracy nutjob.

    @8 The guy is accused of setting the fire. He has not been found guilty. Cannot imagine his attorney’s best tactics are in this case.

    From Fred Reed over at http://www.fredoneverything/org –

    By now I suppose that everybody and his dog knows (well, actually, I haven’t asked my dog) that the New York Times has hired, and defended, one Sarah Jeong, an avowedly racist, sexist, mouthy, and apparently kinky twitess as tech writer. “Kinky” is the polite term for people who enjoy cruelty. Which, she says, she does. Anyhow, among her eructations:
    “Dumbass f****** white people marking up the internet like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.”
