Quick Hits 3: The Final Voyage Edition

By the way, I've updated the Biden below post with more cringey answers.

There was a bunch of stuff to catch up. This will be the last Quick Hits for the day.

This is a good one, at least.

Diver swallowed whole by humpback whale -- and then spat out after 30-40 seconds.

Chris Wallace, top anchor at supposedly "fair and balanced" Fox, again lays the blame for the suppression of the lab leak hypothesis fact at the feet of the Trump administration.

Like Jake Tapper and Brian Stelter, he's a relentless, bloodthirsty defender of the "honor" of his media guild/cult.

Teaching a -- what is that, a three year old? -- three year old how to twerk, in open view on the streets of NYC, drawing no attention from police or concerned onlookers:

The manliest Tater in the whole wide world:

Here's a funny clip from Peep Show about the old black and yeller/red and black snake mnemonic.

The New York Times has finally deleted its claim that the Babylon Bee is a "right wing misinformation site that disguises disinformation as satire" or whatever.

Still -- the Babyon Bee was damaged by this, and the Times will pay no price.

This has to end. THESE SJW DEFAMATION SITES NEED TO BE SUED.

The game is, the leftwing has pressured (or conspired with) tech monopolies to deplatform people if certain claims are made. The New York Times is an aggressive deplatformer -- and they know the boxes they have to check to then pressure FaceBook, twitter, etc. into deplatforming another competitor.

All of these defamations -- labeling political enemies' speech as "disinformation" or "hate" -- are intentionally crafted with the end goal of deplatforming.

The Babylon Bee has been listed as "disinformation disguised as satire" for a long, long time by the New York Times. The conditions for deplatforming are now established, even if the New York Times now deletes its prior characterization.

The Babylon Bee is letting them slither away without admitting fault.

As I said-- the media will sometimes say they're wrong, when they have no other choice and when there is the chance of a lawsuit, but they will never, ever admit fault.

Just ask Chris Wallace, who continues claiming week after week that it wasn't the media's fault for deeming the perfectly plausible and in fact highly likely lab leak theory a deranged conspiracy theory when Trump advanced it multiple times.

No, the person at fault was Trump, and Pompeo, for not pushing hard enough against the media's lies.

They're just never at fault -- ever.

There's a mass shooter at-large and on the run in Texas. He shot 13 people, killing one.

There's a physical identification of the suspect.

Alerting the public about what he looks like could bring him into custody sooner -- and avoid another mass shooting.

But the Austin Statesman refuses to publish the BOLO description provided by the police -- because it "perpetrates negative stereotypes."

Weird how every single white criminal is identified as such in the headline, even after arrest, when a physical description is merely a background detail rather than critical information in the interest of public safety.

On his watch, as Joe Biden would say:
