The confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett are … boring? Are they allowed to be boring? This is 2020, after all. The only mildly not boring parts were Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s conspiracy theory insanity and that Barrett said “sexual preference” instead of “sexual orientation.” Weak sauce for 2020. And the latter only was interesting when even Webster’s dictionary tried to pretend this had always been a thing. The New York Post published a less than credible “bombshell” about Hunter Biden. It then blew up bigger when Facebook and Twitter censored it. Which was even dumber because the story was so weak and now it’s just increased calls for big tech and social media regulation. So, yay? NBA Final TV ratings were way down. Was it because of the social justice stuff? Yes, in part, but not entirely. TV ratings for every sport are down, in part because they’re all on at the same time. Did Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot know that the Census Cowboy was a male stripper before she hired him as the Census Cowboy? On second thought, don’t answer that. And finally, a man froze three Taco Bell Spicy Potato Soft Tacos and then listed them for $200 on Facebook Marketplace. That price will seem like a steal compared to the medical bills you’ll get if you eat them.
