Life Under The Rock By The Creek In Geek Forest

 I never really saw Jimmy Kimmel. I’d seen enough of Colbert to know he had nothing worth saying but other than that…my filters and algorithms tend to be pretty good at filtering guys like that out for me. I used to worry about such things. That the tech will filter out the real news that I need to hear in order to make an informed opinion. 

But for me personally, the filters seem to be catching ALL the crap. I never really watched Ben Shapiro either. Or Candace Whatsername, or Matt Walsh or Charlie Kirk. Granted, they may be mainstream pundits on my side of the political spectrum… but they’re still mainstream. They’re just as much paid actors as Jimmy Kimmel or Colbert, and probably just as stupid. Establishment finger puppets that are themselves filters and algorithms at best. You’ll never hear an honest word about jewish doings in the Gaza from Ben Shapiro. Or the problems caused by jewish perfidy, corruption and donors in American politics. The various finger puppets of Conservative Inc bore me and quite frankly… some annoy me. 

I personally don’t care if Kimmel gets fired or not. He’s still going to say and do stupid chit, as are his groupies and fan boys. I don’t want to listen to that or them either. Historically I’ve always been a free speech absolutist and purist. I like the idea of everyone being free to speak. Still do…but that’s changing. I’ve become a remorseless censor for myself. I have to be, the signal to noise ratio of today’s public discourse is awful. 

What about you? Are your filters and algorithms working for you? Do you trust them?
