I believe that facts and the truth are absolute; whether it's politics, science, or history. This idea that a person has to cowtow to both sides, like Cuomo or Bill Maher, in order to seem legit, is no different than any other form of spin. I can figure things out for myself.

Have you watched The Cuomo Project?

I don't think he's cowtowing at all. I think the shit he says on his YouTube show is his actual belief and that's what is so refreshing to me. Usually you build an audience by appealing to their widely held beliefs. He is willing to turn off large swaths of his audience to discuss his true opinion.

I think and hope the new way to build an audience is to break the norm like that. That is exactly why I like him so much and it's why when he goes on and on about something I disagree with I am much more willing to hear him out and if not change my opinion on the matter at least consider it more deeply than I would have with someone on FOX or MSNBC.

My mother-in-law watches Cuomo. So there's that.

The woman who raised a lady that lives in a beautiful Maine mansion and has decided to spend her life taking care of dogs. And only made one bad decision in her entire life and that was because some guy duped her into thinking she was marrying a young Mandy Patinkin.

Yeah I'm going to side with the mother-in-law. I know it's usually fun to tease in-laws, but in this case she's in the right.

Today's mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis is, according to the Gun Violence Archive, the 286th mass shooting so far this year in the United States. Two children killed, 17 people injured – and the gunman committed suicide. House Speaker Mike Johnson gave the usual predictable response: "Our prayers are with the children, families, civilians, law enforcement and all those impacted by this evil attack." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said, "Don't just say 'thoughts and prayers' right now. These kids were literally praying!"

Swimmers face fecal contamination at beaches along U.S. coastline this Labour Day weekend

Beaches from Crystal River, Florida, to Ogunquit, Maine, have been under advisories warning about water quality this week.

While this story is being carried by a bunch of news outlets, the beaches themselves have no advisories at this time.

We walked by Ogunquit beach on Thursday, and it was full of people as normal. As for York, a combination of
strong tides from the coastal storm, and seaweed - typical for this time- has limited swimming here and there. But Long Sands beach was perfect today.

I don't see how it makes any sense to lump the entire east coast into a single "condition". But it's a good way to make a click bait story.
