Learned a new word yesterday from sport radio... Hateraide

A play on Gatoraide I suppose. Likely long in use, but as I don't get around much, I'm sure I'm late to the party.

The commentator was complaining about people whose only commentary on sport is limited to complaints (hmm. maybe some irony there).

I think this is a word that describes a lot of what passes for political discussion in the US.

Now, I no longer feel limited to talking about people who've drunk the kool-aid because Hateraide is that energy drink of political discourse that perfumes your speech with rankle.

And it comes in the diet version "Rant", as well as full strength "Rage"

Roe...Roe ... Roe your vote!

I'm not clever enough to go further...

Jeffrey Sachs: Rest Of The World Thinks The U.S. Probably Sabotaged The Nord Stream Pipeline, But It Doesn't Show Up In Our Media

Posted By Tim Hains On Date October 3, 2022

A Bloomberg TV host pushed back against Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs on Monday when he suggested that the U.S. and Poland are probably behind the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline.

"A lot of the world is watching these events in horror," Sachs said. "They view this as a horrible clash between Russia and the U.S. They don't see this, as we do in the media, as an unprovoked attack by Russia on Ukraine."

"Most of the world doesn't see it the way we describe it. Most of the world is just terrified right now, frankly," he added.
