it’s on principle that I don’t share vids from Now This News or Memeology101.
Not that I don’t watch them, but I don’t share them because I don’t want to seem like promoting any of them channels.

An experimental Covid-19 vaccine being developed by the drug giant Pfizer and the biotech firm BioNTech spurred immune responses in healthy patients, but also caused fever and other side effects, especially at higher doses.
“We still have a ways to go and we’re testing other candidates as well,” said Philip Dormitzer, the chief scientific officer for viral vaccines at Pfizer’s research laboratories. “However, what we can say at this point is there is a viable candidate based on immunogenicity and early tolerability safety data.”
Following a second injection three weeks later of the other doses, 8.3% of the participants in the 10 μg group and 75% of those in the 30 μg group developed fevers. More than 50% of the patients who received one of those doses reported some kind of adverse event, including fever and sleep disturbances. None of these side effects was deemed serious, meaning they did not result in hospitalization or disability and were not life-threatening.The vaccine generated antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, and some of these antibodies were neutralizing, meaning that they appear to prevent the virus from functioning. Levels of neutralizing antibodies were 1.8- to 2.8-times the level of that in the recovered patients.

@tehwatever Because they’re on the meme-to-fash pipeline?
Yyyeaaah. Now This News is the pipeline to the usual trump-h8ing, white h8ing, cop h8ing antifa route.
Memeology101 is the opposite route.
Both channels aren’t even memes nor News, they’re bite-sized, easily digestible current events snippets meant not to start a discussion but to validate preconceived notions.
So…that’s why I dont share them. I watch them; it’s entertainment, but I’m not gonna tell anybody it’s my go-to reliable news source.

In more ‘Trump is Putin’s Bottom Bitch’ news, a new report is out on how Trump would berate US allies while simultaneously shilling Putin.
Nothing we haven’t already seen but there you go.

Just a general question about both this site (and kinda the fandom as a whole).
Do you think the majority of the site is left-leaning, right-leaning, or centrist?
Just genuinely curious since from my experience, the fandom seems pretty left-leaning.

While right-wingers seem to be in the minority, they appear to be pretty vocal (and as recent events demonstrated, the worst of them give the fandom as a whole a bad name).

Hm.
We know that FiM itself is not edgy enough to be leftist. They dont promote values that are like totally commie or socialist or feminist despite having majority female. I’m even more inclined to believe that FiM has your usual christian american values. Heck. Equestria IS ponified America, after all.
The show is also very white. don’t @ me with the color argument. Y’all know they white. Go draw any of the fan favorites as PoC and watch yourself lynched.
Edit:
Except for non-ponies. We all Zecora black and the changelings gender fluid por favor.

In an addendum to the previous news, Trump has responded to the news of Russia putting bounties on our soldiers. To no surprise he’s calling it a hoax and saying he wasn’t informed. || Hint: he was. ||
So basically, once again he’s siding with Daddy Putin over his own soldiers. Ball’s in your court MAGA hats, how are you going to ‘MURICA’ your way out of this one?

If it’s not a hoax, them soldiers musta been traitors to the american nation.
I dont like to entertain the idea that El Presidente is choosing The Putin over his own.
I mean why? The PotUS is totally supportive of the military why feed his own soldiers to the bears over in Russia?

Seriously, though, even if America ever gets around to solving massive income inequality, entrenched racism and pressing environmental issues, Russia and China are highly likely to execute some nefarious plan and catch us all with our pants down.
Putin disposes of journalists with shots to the back of the head and call it suicide while Winnie the Pooh claimed Hong Kong as free real estate. Not the shining examples of leadership any politically educated person would want in any world.
@tehwatever
Teh, he doesn’t even care about the military; money comes first and foremost and Putin has his hands so far up the orange dumbass’ asshole.

Trump wants to build a hotel in Russia. That’s literally it.
I know there’s also literally only like one bank in the world that’s still willing to do business with Trump, but I can’t remember if that bank was Russian or Dutch owned or not. But the bottom line is that Trump is undermining US international alliances and relationships and influence (etc), and now sending off his own military to die while defending their murderers, all so he can make a bit more money. Yes, all this and more just so a billionaire can make a few extra millions.
‘America First.’

Ooof. That is one super heavy accusation that if proven true, could lose him all credibility to his image.
Only the rich cutthroat global capitalist would laud him for his business moves, but the patriotic crowd gonna lynch him for it.

One may hope, I guess.
But part of me is starting to believe that those MAGA hats are actually receivers that catch Trump’s brainwaves and let him do the thinking for their wearers.

Deutsche Bank. It’s German. But it does have a lot of problems with Russian money laundering.
A coincidence, I’m sure.

I’d say the show is moderatly left by American standards, at least - but perhaps I just see those as having been dragged pretty far right.
Fandom seems drawn from all over - and this thread might or might not be the best indicator.
