I’ve read your posts and the ones of those you had the pleasure to talk to. I appreciate your comittment to the fight against dis-info. I’ll just answer to both of your comments with this comment and hopefully keep it short because I hate this whole topic and how much time this all sucks out of our lifes just because we succumb to culture wars and being the instruments of those inciting them.
First. I think I’m not parasocial. I just watch him (like most of us I guess), because he gives us easy consumable but knowledgeable insights into complicated historical and current geopolitical events. I picked up quite a few topics and read up on them I wasn’t aware of before I started watching him.
Him reporting and exposing himself on political events talking to the base and doing interviews with a lot of progressive politicians shows he is far from the sheltered grifting political arm-chair commenter, haters here and in the highest circles of spin-doctoring want him to paint as.
As you sharply described in your post with the “and yet you participate in society” meme, I’d too rather watch political analyses by someone whose opinions match my personal ideas of a just world, him being a millionaire or not. Bernie Sanders is a millionaire too, I guess, but I love listening to him as well. And opposed to consumers of content from real grifters, I don’t think I’ll ever be a millionaire.
Heck, Hasan interviewed two billionaires with political ambitions recently who had surprisingly progressive views and plans. Yes nobody should be a billionaire but if they at least really want to do good with their money, they can live. See MacKenzie Scott. And those claiming Hasans trip to Cuba was just egocentric self-promotion, has no idea how much he burns for recitifying the injustice Cubans are exposed to by the US.
OMG. Now it has become a wall of text again and I haven’t even addressed any points of your observations on the video. I agree with you in what you wrote. Yes the dreaded internet problems and him being jet-lagged wouldn’t justify him mishandling his dog. But as the trainer pointed out, he wasn’t doing this at all even when he slightly yelled at her. Yes the clips he reacted to were very condensed and didn’t show any of the million of interactions he had with his dog clearly showing he’s a reponsible handler.
But it all doesn’t matter anyway, as we all know this is all part of a big political assassination campaign and the critics bringing this up care as much about Kaya as they care about the animals they have on there plates (as Hasan too does, btw).

Here’s a video from a professional dog trainer, who claims he didn’t know Hasan prior, analyzing the incident and the device. He concluded that it wasn’t a shock- but a vibration-collar (or used as such). He did not see any misconduct from Hasan. I read somewhere the trainer was massively harassed after the video.

AFAIK he doesn’t run AD’s. Watching him for a year now. I’ve never seen any sponsored content. Maybe he get’s money from the politicians he interviews on stream but I doubt it. He only invites those who he has a serious interest in growing their platform. He doesn’t seem to sell out. He regularly mentions his work is solely sponsored by his viewers. I don’t claim that he isn’t a multi millionaire but I don’t see how this invalidates his positions or work.

In addition he send the ICE goons to airports. I’ve seen pictures where they operate the computer-terminals. Some looked like teens. Can’t say if they’re at JFK too, though.
- Comment on Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers? 3 months ago:
I remember those from two decades ago from a shopping channel. In Europe btw. So this has to be even longer around in the US or wherever it was invented. We got more shopping channels on public satellite TV in the meantime. This will probably be advertised around here too, still to these days.
Were (are, if you’re still using it) you pleased with the results of the flowbee? Did it take you long to get a feel for it? The fact that it’s collecting all the hair is a big selling point.
I’m cutting my hair with an electric shaver and a pair of good scissors for years now and probably saved thousands off euros. I don’t think I’ll switch to flowbee as I can by now not only cut my own but others hair too as I tried in lockdown when especially practicing barbers were a rare sight and only let you in their chair after telling the secret passphrase.
Just want to know if I can commend that product to beginners when the next pandemic rolls around.

Or at least feed the dogs plant based and phase out having cat as pets. IIRC it’s 20% of all livestock in the US that’s killed just for cats and dogs and about 70% of that 20% is for dogs on top of my head. Dog can live fine if not better on a well formulated plant based dog food. Just look at some of the reviews for Purina HA Vegetarian (it’s vegan btw) dog food. A lot of dog owners cured the gastro intestinal and lot of other problems their dogs had with it. I’m not affiliated. There are other well formulated plant based foods like AMI successfully used by many dog owners. Just seen a video on “The Dodo” of a dog who was at the verge of being put down because of weight loss till the veterinary got the idea the dog could have a meat allergy and advised said Purina food. The dog is now healthy and thriving again. That diet change on a global scale would take a huge burden off of the environment.

- Comment on bird flu 1 year ago:
Seems correct. Didn’t even get approval at all in the US and the company withdrew their application. So yeah. I don’t want to doubt the experiences of your relative especially when it was so close to the vaccination. Could’ve actually been a serious side effect. I just never heard of it in my circles. What I heard of were friends who got covid multiple times and contracting more illnesses like respiratory viruses or stomach bugs over time aka wrecking their immune system.
- Comment on bird flu 1 year ago:
MRNA or viral vector vaccine (like AstraZeneca)? I’m not even in the vicinity of being knowledgeable about medicine but AFAIK that vaccine was the one causing myocarditis not the MRNA based.
I got a sample size of about 15 family members and a few acquaitances (including a cancer patient in chemo, a 90 year old and some kids) who all got Biontech/Pfizer MRNA vaccines except one who got AstraZeneca. The MRNA ones caused no side effects as per my inquiry the one with AstraZeneca was the only one with short term side effects. And another one who got a flu shot in parallel to Biontech who was ill for a few days.
I got most of the boosters up to JN.1 and I haven’t even had the mild aches at the injection point.

I’m sure if FBI or NYPD will deny her claims UHC will jump in and approve the full amount and a bit more. It’s a premium health insurance for Thompsons co-CEOs.

Someone in comments to the original twitter-thread showed the Claude solution for above “riddle”. It was equally sane as in your example, correctly answered the man and the goat can just row together to the other side and correctly identified that there are no hidden restrictions like other items to take aboard. It nevertheless used an excessive amount of text (like myself).
Gemini: The man rows the goat across.
No work ethics there.
