SocraticGadfly: Top blogging of June — hoops and COVID

Top blogging of June — hoops and COVID

No. 1? My ripping a new cornhole for fake journalist Max Blumenthal, specifically related to Nicaragua issues.

No. 2? My semi-takedown obit of 9/11 falser, Tulsi Twerker and Just.Another.Politican Mike Gravel. 

No. 3? My saying STFU to Scottie Pippen for his various stupidities, including hinting he thought he was better than Michael Jordan, his ragging in general on Phil Jackson for choosing Toni Kukoc to shoot that 1994 NBA playoff game-ender against the Knicks, and claiming racism was behind that.

No. 4? My rejection of twosiderism and tribalism between the Georgia Green Party, on the one hand, and the Green Party's Lavender Caucus and allies on the other.

No. 5? My salute to Zeynep Tufekci calling out COVID twosiderism and tribalism by BlueAnon. (A follow-up is coming!)

No. 6? Calling out UFO pseudoscience by Daniel Brito, along with fellow travelerism by journalists who should know better. (A follow-up is coming!)

No. 7? Discussing how it's funny, in a sense, that a Black in a leadership position with the neoliberal Sunrise Movement has discovered half the truth about Sunrise — only the race-related truth, but not class-related and more.

No. 8? One in a series of pieces about the Dallas Mavericks' future, complete with takes on superstar Luka Doncic and then-head coach Rick Carlisle, calling for him to be replaced with Jason Kidd, which eventually happened, though not quite as I would have expected.  in Game 7, the Dallas Mavericks lost Game 7 to the Clippers and have another first-round playoff exit.

No. 9? Related to No. 5 and from earlier in the month — my takedown of BlueAnon COVID tribalist Orac.

No. 10? Related to both 5 and 9, some thoughts on an alleged Chinese defector reportedly spilling some beans on the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
