“The Polite Type is an open-source font that rewrites hurtful words, replacing them with more inclusive ones.”

“Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans players are discussing a joint demonstration to make a statement on racial injustice and display unity before Thursday night’s NFL season opener, sources told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
One possible idea involves both teams staying in their locker rooms during the national anthem.”
Regardless, I am ready for some football.
I just can’t quit them (the NFL)

“One possible idea involves both teams staying in their locker rooms during the national anthem.”
This would actually be great and a big improvement over other forms of “protest”. But don’t tell the players that, let them keep thinking they’re hurting our feelings by doing this.
I find this the least likely outcome. C’mon… you don’t virtue signal in a room by yourself.
That would be an excellent protest. If the announcers could keep the sjw bullshit to a minimum that’d be nice as well.
Turn the game on right at kickoff. Sound off, unless you have local radio you want to hear the hometown call on.
If revenue rating don’t drop, wouldn’t the NFL think going woke was the right business decision?
Feel free to stay in the locker rooms for the rest of the week.
I had no idea that the season was starting this weekend. The only reason I figured out it was starting is because a bunch of my lazy family sent me a ton of emails asking if I was going to run the family football pool again this weekend. The made me enact labor for them!
Not watching.
“a Dubai-based model”
I thought that was a euphemism.

“Woman votes TOPLESS at New Hampshire polling station after being told to remove her ‘anti-Trump’ shirt”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8718357/Woman-told-remove-McCain-hero-Trump-Zero-shirt-polling-station-votes-TOPLESS.html
Pics or it didn’t happen.
You just know that T shirt was at least a 2xl
Scaifidi said he would’ve called police to remove the voter for indecency, but he didn’t want to escalate the incident.
I thought it was legal in NH for women to be topless anywhere in the state, but this story says it depends on the town. In other words, there is no state law, but there could be municipal ordinances. I skimmed over what I think are the relevant municipal ordinance chapters for Exeter, NH, and I see nothing that looks like a public indecency ordinance or other ordinance prohibiting women from being topless in public.
I voted for Dan Hynes, the attorney representing the women, for County Attorney for the county I live in. Unfortunately, he lost the primary.
Maybe she was still wearing a bra.
It wouldn’t matter if there is no municipal ordinance prohibiting “public indecency”, which it looks like there isn’t.
In any event, there was some scuttlebutt on a group I am on that the woman was not wearing a bra.
She was not wearing a bra
“She said, ‘You want me to take my shirt off? That’s what you want?’” Scafidi recalled.
He told the woman it was her choice, and before he could say anything more, the shirt was gone. She was not wearing a bra.
“Boom! The shirt’s off,” he said, “and she’s standing there saying, ‘How’s this?’”
Anyone dumb enough to think McCain was a hero should be disenfranchised, and preferably exiled.

Listen, you think you want that. You don’t.
the woman, who appeared to be about 60, …
Very likely not.
One possible idea involves hundreds of thousands of former football fans not giving a shit what happens in the NFL.
I said this morning that football is gonna be the final straw for lots of people. If the NFL thinks gittin’ woke harder than other leagues is going to work out well for them, well… we shall see.
These people are not into sports. I don’t know why the likes of the NFL are trying to pander to them.
Why are there no POC in that picture?
Not football, anyway. I bet they’re into skate boarding and snow boarding.
AT least hitting people with skateboards. We will see if they hit people with snowboards this winter.
Get woke, go broke. But they’ll dump it long before that happens.
I’m not likely to boycott the NFL completely, but I am likely to find other things to do most weekends.
I’ll watch one game and see how it goes.
Tennis this week was pretty easy on the brain as long you stayed away from the main ESPN feed where the worst commentators are.
Hockey playoffs are more or less fine but I only drop in every ten minutes or so and completely avoid the intermissions so who knows.
MLS soccer is a complete shit show but the lower leagues are all right.
I can see football with its bigger footprint being more painful than any of these.
The TdF has been 100% BLM-free. It’s been lovely and Phil Liggett continues to be an international treasure. And Bob Roll too.
It’s hard to take a knee while riding a bike. Though they played the national anthem before a century ride I did a couple years ago and some jackasses took a knee.
I splurged for the Cycling Pass on the NBC Sports app to watch the TdF ad-free. The commentators are Simon Gerrans and some other guy with an equally funny accent. It’s still amazing to me how none of them pronounce Sagan’s name correctly after all these years, and apparently there about 5 different pronunciations of Pogacar.
So you have to pay for a subscription to listen to lesser commentators? Liggett is a YOOGE part of my enjoyment of the race.
The Cycling Pass gives you a choice of which commentators to listen to. Liggett is on the feed with commercials. I choose to go without the commercials.

Ms Bannister saved a lot of children from hunger, after her death. Maybe saved the front row of kids if she’d ever exploded.

Has Lindy West been outside since Covid started? Wondering if she still feels like she’s fat AND healthy.
She seems to have dropped off the radar as of last November. No idea why.
Gravity?
Doesn’t matter. Just her being invisible is good enough for me.
You got me morbidly curious about whether or not she’s on a ventilator somewhere so I looked around and found a possible proof of life post on her Facebook account mentioning the Biden/Harris ticket.
Heh.
Two they don’t say the circumstances around, one got it from going to church (maybe?), one got it before the school year started, but happened to die the first week of class. They got us Fam. Close down the schools.
I’d be surprised if there’s a public school left open anywhere in the country by next month.
I don’t get the “COVID-19 only kills fatties” retort. Most Americans are fatties.
“Democrats scuttle Senate Republicans’ $500 billion ‘skinny’ relief bill amid fears of no new help for unemployed before election
Senate Democrats scuttled a scaled-back GOP coronavirus rescue package on Thursday, saying the measure shortchanged too many pressing needs as the pandemic continues its assault on the country.
The mostly party-line vote capped weeks of wrangling over a fifth relief bill that all sides say they want but are unable to deliver.
The bipartisan spirit that powered earlier aid measures has given way to election-season political combat and name-calling.”

I’ve heard rumors that during the last episode of MASH, there were water lines burst because everyone went to the bathroom during the commercials. Could something analogous happen if everyone fired up their DVR’s at the same time?
1s and 0s splashed everywhere.
I’ve heard rumors that during the last episode of MASH, there were water lines burst because everyone went to the bathroom during the commercials.
I don’t think this is possible, although it is theoretically possible for sewer lines to back up if too many people use them at once and the lines are old (meaning either more capacity has been added to them than they were designed for or their capacity has been reduced due to various blockages, especially grease).
I assumed the pipes burst from Alan Alda pissing on the viewers of the last episode with all that tripe about a smothered baby.
IT WASN’T A CHICKEN!!!!
Amazon releasing episodes in drips and drabs is bullshit.

Eh, it seemed a bit of a rehash of the “splatter the dolphin” from season 1. Actually, most of S2 so far seems to be “oh shit, we need to have an actual story now and not just try to freak everyone out!” But I’m still really liking it.
When I ran out of those, I started S2 of the Umbrella Academy, and it seems better than S1. The first seven minutes of the season was… epic.
It starts to drag shortly thereafter.
I haven’t noticed that yet. Admittedly I was drinking heavily while I was watching. Not so much that I didn’t pick up on the obvious lesbianism before it happened however.
Re: killing animals on film when no animals are actually killed.

Now, let’s talk about Preacher, which is totally my kind of weird… And the reason I know that The Boys is not as weird as Preacher is because Mr. Mojeaux likes The Boys and can’t stand Preacher.
Spoiler. They didn’t quite make it through.
It’s not ideal, but I noticed that there’s more excitement for shows when they are parsed out over time. The Mandalorian was a big deal whereas shows you could binge all at once basically came and went with little fanfare (Mind Hunter season 2)
Re the Chiefs.
So they won the Superbowl and so ticket prices went up commensurately. Then the WuFlu happened and all hell broke loose. It appears that the Chiefs are one of very few teams allowing fans, and that at only 22% capacity. Ticket buying criteria changed, but the prices did not go down.
Hmmmm.
So now they can’t give them away. Lessee…22% of 76,000 seats is 16,720, which they can’t find buyers for because a) the prices were too high to begin with [thanks for kicking us in the teeth, Chiefs], b) they didn’t go down when supply got cut off, as it does, because c) they expected that the fan base wouldn’t care and would pay it regardless of the fact that seats close to God were going for $300-600 each, and d) tailgating is severely curtailed.
Kansas City’s a little salty right now.
Not watching. It’ll be the first season opener I’ve not seen in seventeen years. The NFL is dead to me now.
Mr. Mojeaux’s been living eating breathing the Chiefs for a while now. He’s been counting down the hours since yesterday.
Me, I’ll watch, but the ticket prices and the wokeness leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
I’m planning on walking up to the local bar and trying to watch the game. I have no idea how they’re going to manage capacity though. Previous years, it was standing room only.
Supply and no demand. Kind of like running a restaurant, after awhile the doors will close. Who is the first to be layed off? 2nd stringers? Back up QB? Beer hawkers? Groundskeepers?
If the NFL would cut rosters to 36 I might get interested in football again. Two-way players or GTFO.
I’m surprised they didn’t price the tickets 4.5x higher to make up the difference. I mean, duh! If it’s good enough for Cuomo and Deblasio….
This is actually quite surprising to me. There are certainly 40 – 50k people in Kansas City who could afford more than $600/ticket to see their hometown team play. The fact that the reduction in supply has not led to increased prices is crazy.
Maybe people really are sick of that shit. Huh.
It’s definitely fall. There was a sandwich board on the sidewalk advertising butternut squash shakshuka.

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office issued an Be On the Lookout alert for a tiger late Wednesday night after reports of the animal being spotted in southeast Knoxville.
Knox County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Units, Animal Control, Air Watch, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Knoxville Police’s Animal Control Unit and representatives with Tiger Haven were working Wednesday night to locate a tiger that was spotted by a Knox County deputy in the Forks of the River Industrial Park off of Island River Drive.
KCSO said just before midnight that there had been no other sightings “at this hour,” and would keep the public updated as more information becomes available.
Knox County dispatch said a report of an unconfirmed sighting of the tiger near Bales Lane/ Thorngrove Pike/ Gov. John Sevier Hwy area in East Knoxville was made around 7:30 a.m.

Wait, OMWC is a goy? I feel so cheated. It’s like when Estelle Costanza found out that Donna Chang wasn’t Chinese, just a white girl from Long Island.
Regarding the NFL, and the other pro leagues, they really don’t seem to notice that they are playing with fire:
Nah, Riven is yanking his chain.
Tugging his foreskin?
Chewing on the neck?
They have no idea the depth of the abyss they are teetering on. They could have been the heroes and come running out of the locker-rooms with American flags celebrating that we made it through the covid bullshit and now they are happy to play. Nope. They are giving a giant “Fuck You” to every sap who watches them, watches the ads, pays for the tickets, etc.
Sports-entertainment is the purest of luxury items, At least a luxury car still gets you places you need to go. The NFL does nothing except consume your time while running ads in front of your face constantly. People can drop it without anything else in the lives changing – except having some more free time and money. Maybe get some fresh air and exercise.
Thing is, too, that walking this stuff back is going to be next to impossible. MLB never fully recovered from the 1994 strike – there was a certain segment of fans who never went back. Once the connection has been severed, there are going to be a lot of people who wouldn’t reconnect with the NFL even if/when they drop the BLM stuff.
I think that’s what the SJW/BLM folks want. Sports is the least racist thing.
MLB attendance was a step function. It was increasing at a straight line rate before the strike and same rate after the strike, with a huge drop off between 94 and 95.
Come on, I’m sure that the blue haired SJ warriors they are trying to impress watch LOTS of football.
That’s the key thing. Notice how sports dropped among Democrats slightly, and dropped huge among Republicans and independents.
If Going Woke actually got them a big huge boost among Democrats, it might net out to make no difference. But as with all this SJW bullshit, these stupid fucking companies are listening to the same ~5000 shrieking mentally ill people on Twitter, and not the millions and millions of silent customers.
One President Biden is sworn in this will all get tamped down.

Wow, when your favorability is down there with BigPharma, you got some problems…

Of the 25 industries listed, the only ones with a worse net negative rating than sports in aggregate are pharmaceuticals (-15) and federal government (-20).
OK, so while I’m glad to see that people’s opinions of the federal government are appropriately low, I do wonder when looking at these stats why anyone would support government-run healthcare. Moving the responsibility of medicine from people with a -15 rating to people with a -20 rating seems like it should be an unpopular idea.
The way Government Healthcare is sold to Americans as “Exactly like your healthcare now, but RICH FATCATS will pay 100% of it.”
They don’t tell you the truth which is “You’ll pay a percentage of your gross income to a giant bureaucracy, and then that giant bureaucracy will put you on a waiting list of six months when you have an infected tooth.”
Premier League to display No Room For Racism instead of Black Lives Matter badges on kits
Premier League clubs and match officials will wear a No Room For Racism badge on their shirts this season and continue to take a knee after captains of the 20 top flight teams agreed with league plans to continue to acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement.
Senior figures from the Premier League held an online discussion with the captains on Thursday and agreed that players and match officials will wear a No Room For Racism sleeve badge on their shirts in place of Black Lives Matter badges for the 2020-21 season.
Continuing to acknowledge BLM by slowly distancing themselves.

Mayor Bill de Blasio split with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to allow indoor dining in New York City, saying he wanted a later opening date and a firm requirement to shut restaurants back down if infection rates rise.
De Blasio said Wednesday that a deal was still in the works between the city and the state to green light indoor dining. About an hour later, he said Cuomo’s office informed City Hall that they planned to go ahead with an announcement without him.
It’s the latest disagreement between the two rival pols on how to manage the coronavirus pandemic.
“The city took a very conservative position on this matter. And I’m the person who believes we need to be conservative and cautious,” de Blasio said at a press briefing Thursday.
Cuomo cleared indoor restaurants to reopen on Sept. 30 with 25 percent of their usual tables. They’ll also be required to check customers’ temperatures at the door and collect personal information for contact tracing, and seating at bars will be banned.
De Blasio said he wanted a later start date — with indoor dining now scheduled to begin just over a week after schools open for in-person classes.
Why can’t these two morons get sick and die?

Watch your wallets and pocketbooks, Kansas Citians. I would not be surprised at towns trying to tax their way out of these kinds of commitments.
They already do. The problem is this: The KC metro area covers about 9 counties across 2 states. The county that the Chiefs play in and tax is the poorest one amongst them (Jackson County MO), and arguably the richest county (Johnson County KS) is the one doing the majority of the patronization.
So the fight about who pays to keep the Chiefs is an ongoing battle amongst a bazillion governments across a state line.
Well, there’s already the almost-certain fact that salary caps are going to be adjusted downward next year. The Covidians probably are going to yell and scream that there shouldn’t be fans in the stadiums even next year. Then top it off with driving off half of their fans with the political bullshit and….yeah, belts are going to be tightened significantly.

An Ohio college student hosted a house party with 20 people in attendance one week after he said he tested positive for COVID-19.
Police arrived at the Oxford, Ohio, home where the gathering was held Saturday afternoon after receiving a call about a noise complaint.
The student from Miami University admitted to police that he was aware the party broke the city’s pandemic measures, which limit gatherings to no more than 10 people, local ABC affiliate WCPO reported.
The student said eight people lived in the home, with the officer informing him that would mean only two more could gather before breaking the city’s limit. The officer then ran the student’s ID.
“I’ve never seen this before. There’s an input on the computer that you tested positive for COVID,” the officer tells the student, according to body camera footage. “Are you supposed to be quarantining?”
The student said he tested positive for the virus the previous week, informing the officer that everyone at the gathering had COVID-19 as well.
——-
Six men at the gathering were cited and fined $500 from the city of Oxford. Five of them live in the house, according to local reports.
Miami University in Oxford has been a hotspot for rising COVID-19 cases in the past two weeks, with more than 1,000 cases recorded at the university, according to its online dashboard.
According to the Ohio Department of Health, Butler County, which includes Oxford, has recorded 219.5 cases per 100,000 population from Aug. 19 to Sept. 1.

“Cuties, Netflix review: a provocative powder-keg for an age terrified of child sexuality”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/cuties-netflix-reviewa-provocative-powder-keg-age-terrified/
OFFS!!
Sounds like Netflix is about to lose a whole lot of subscribers. That shit is straight up kiddie porn.
Nah, pedophiles are the new trannies, they need to be celebrated.
Few people have the moral scruples to bother cancelling their accounts.
More like, the people who have such moral scruples cancelled long ago.
My take on it is, not my job to prosecute for kiddie porn. So I’ll just not watch that show.
How is this even legal?
The DOJ is too busy pretending to investigate the Russia hoax and Antifa?
Responding To Backlash, Netflix Clarifies Its Content Is ‘Mostly Pedophilia-Free’
Almost got mrle because that…could be a real headline.
2020 is turning out to be the year in which 50 years of progress on several fronts is wiped away in just a few months.
50 is optimistic.
Shame on us ChildSexualityPhobes. We’re just not sophisticated enough.
NAMBLA has a sad…no boys?
Do I look Belgian?
Yeah, provocative…
I haven’t watched the show so pardon my ignorance, but is the show really *promoting* this or merely showing that it exists? If the latter, I have no problem with it.
I watched one link posted somewhere else. The movie appears to be about child dance competitions — and I mean child, not teen. The dance routine that I saw was overtly sexual involving simulated sex acts. Totally inappropriate for adolescents.
The link provided above provides parental warnings including this bit: . . . ., one of the female child dancers lifts up her cropped top to fully display her bare breast.
I have no idea how that gets past the current legal regime on child pornography.
Video or it didn’t happen.
Go find it. I’m not interested in streaming something to my home computer that could be criminal.
The parental warnings could be bogus, but they are not far removed from the excerpt that I did see earlier today.
Believe, don’t believe, I don’t give a shit.
Note that I have seen youtube videos of real-life dance competitions that were nearly as bad as the routine in the movie.
In that respect, the movie is reflecting current trends.
Both of my girls were in dance for years. I dreaded the competitions – mostly because of the dance moms.
Nashua, NH’s mask ordinance is really stopping the spread of Lil Rona
Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess has tested positive for COVID-19, as have several other employees at Nashua City Hall.
“So far, for me, the disease hasn’t been too severe,” said Donchess.
He was notified last Thursday that an employee he had recently met with had a family member who had tested positive. Donchess said he immediately called the employee he had met with and suggested they get tested for the virus.
Donchess said he and one or two other city employees also were tested. His initial test, which was taken Thursday night, was inconclusive, said the mayor, explaining there are two strands of genetic material necessary and only one was present.
The mayor was retested on Sunday by Bobbie Bagley, director of public health and community services, and he received the results later that day indicating he was positive for COVID-19.
Donchess was the force behind the mask ordinance.
If only everyone complied with the mask mandate at all times that would never have happened. I blame you personally, DEG.
I revel in being a shitlord (*).
There is a protest this evening in Nashua against an update to the mask ordinance. I am not there because I need to wrap up some stuff at work.
(*) On a serious note, there are a couple of businesses in Nashua that I want to see survive this mess, so if they ask me to wear a mask, I will. Otherwise, no mask.
To me, “disease” means something more chronic or innate to the individual’s body (like multiple sclerosis or cancer).
If I get the flu, I don’t call it a “disease”.
To me, “disease” means something that at the very minimum makes you physically not at ease, aka feeling sick. It’s literally what the name says.
Asymptomatic ain’t diseased.
Disease dis ease, lacking ease . So etymologically the same as uneasy. Between Covid, the reaction to covid, the BLM/antifa practice revolution, and the election I’d say pretty much every one is uneasy. Ergo: He all have a disease. I propose we namethe disease 2020 or possibly get cute and call it Vision Standard.
“Why SP and OMWC disconnected from NFL Network.”

Hi Riven, great music choice. My favorite Vulfpeck and love the “backstory” at the beginning.
What an utterly frustrating day. Workgroups finger pointing instead of doing their job and me in the middle.
Blech. That sounds like a rough day. Can’t you just point right back?
At least there’s Vulfpeck! This is probably tied with Beastly for my favorite.
I wish. I kind of like to get this service restored. The problem isn’t that they’re pointing the fingers at me but each other and saying the other guy is supposed to do it.

I take it you like redheads.
Freckles and red heads are a weakness for my Norse blood.
Too many women with masks.
What is it with women and pumpkin flavored stuff? Even the best pumpkin flavored item, pumpkin pie, is one upped by sweet potatoes.
Pumpkin isn’t the point. It could be sweet potatoes, squash, whatever. Whatever you use, it’s just a custard carrier for the spice combo.
It’s not the pumpkin, it’s the spice.
It’s the nutmeg, at least for me. Usually there’s too much cinnamon (and the impostor cassia at that).
Fond feelings for the Fall season triggered by a sensory response.
Pumpkin spice is a sanity assassin.

This is not wrong.

I once got told that pumpkin pie was the white culturally appropriated version of black people’s authentic sweet potato pie, which was… an interesting argument.
WHO HAS TIME TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT SHIT???? Motherfuckers need to get a fucking job.
Apparently “I like sweet potato pie better than pumpkin pie” lacks intellectual heft.
But honestly culinary history is so rife with cultural exchange and making do with necessary substitutions that such a cut-and-dried analysis is almost always guaranteed to be wrong.
Just look at Vietnamese food. Oh wait, Banh Mi is probably racist or something because colonialism
Thank you France for introducing baguette baking and desserts to South East Asia. We can’t rely on the British or Dutch to introduce good food. (Japanese curry the exception that proves the rule.)
Yeah I wouldn’t doubt it. But of course everything is culturally appropriated from somewhere.
And I thank God for that.
There is a great Chef’s Table on Netflix about this guy down in Charleston, NC. He is re-discovering all these native breeds of animal and plant from antebellum NC, when slaves were responsible for much of the agriculture and had cultivated many African plants. When those slaves were freed, they left, and the whites didn’t know how to grow them (they were focused on keeping cash crops going, and didn’t mind that obscure corn and barley varietals were not being grown).
This white chef is largely responsible for saving these largely African American foods from disappearing entirely from the US. No one else cared enough about this “culture” to save- let alone appropriate it.
Insert “WHY NOT BOTH” girl GIF here.
I dig punkin spice shit. I’m a basic bitch.
What can I say…
Spice must flow…
… You know?
Flow? Sounds trans-exclusionary.
Apple pie > pumpkin pie. Fight me I dare you.
Not fair. Apple pie is greater than all other pies combined. You need to compare pumpkin pie to something more on its level, like rhubarb pie, and then fight about that.
Why are you people making pies with fruit when there is chicken and pork and beef available? Chicken pot pie wins the savory pie competition by the way, there is a reason it’s a classic.
No apple pie? Just what I’d expect from the man who hates baseball and Matt Dillon. Soviet mole confirmed!
I am merely indifferent to Baseball. One shouldn’t waste one’s hate on things, save your hate for people. Marcel Duchamp, Jimmy Buffet, Percy Spencer…these people deserve hate.
I get the first two, but it’s not Spencer’s fault that people put fish in the microwave at work.
It’s the second or third level effect, people have completely lost the ability to properly pop corn on the stove top, as G*d intended.
STOVE TOP?!?
Over a roaring fire, you poseur.
No flame, coconut oil and dosed with Flavacol.
Flaky puff pastry pies full of brown gravy, steak, potatoes and onions easily beat chicken pot. Even shepherds is better.
I don’t disagree.
WTF is wrong with you people.
Cherry pie.
That is all.

But you are still wrong.
This is the correct answer
Nope. Strawberry rhubarb to rule them all!!!
Do you even Lemon Meringue bro?
These are all ashes in one’s mouth compared to peach.
Nobody likes a good old hair pie anymore?

Blackberry. Lubricated with the sweet, sweet tears of all the labour it takes to make even one pie of that fabulous berry.
You people have all forgotten how to be shitlords and shitladies. I am disappoint.
Except sweet potatoes have the drawback of making me want to vomit.
Speaking of pie indigestion.

That’s an improvement?
“progjection”, “shitweasel”, “fascist”, “nazi” and “communist” are apparently all OK.
“Commie” gets changed to “leftist”. Good of them to acknowledge that.
This is funny – the page for that U of Michigan experiment in segregation? Yeah, they’ve restricted access to the website for it.
So effectively that the link doesn’t work.
Gotta give it to them – they’re good.
Here, here’s your lousy link!
An experiment in segregation? Uh….haven’t we done that already?
Results were inconclusive, so the experiment needs to be rerun.
Was the first alt-text a Rusty Venture reference? If so, I greatly approve.

So, the Iowa Sec of State says that up to 80% of the ballots on the November election could be absentee ballots this year (cause Covid, duh). Sounds like a fucking disaster.
Yeah, I doubt it. Sounds like a huge overestimate to me.
Right. But if even it comes in at 20 or 30 percent, the outcome won’t be known for weeks. Since Iowa it a swing-state, this is bad news.
Why isn’t it a requirement that all absentee ballots must be received before or on Election Day? Not only would it speed things up, but it would make fraud harder.
Right now, the fraudsters can see how much their candidate lost by and start printing the requisite number of votes.
It would almost be worth it if both parties went full on fraud in a state like Iowa. I’m thinking like some comedy skit where one side wheels in a bunch of “found” ballots that put them over the top, but before victory can be declared the other side wheels in even more ballots. And it keeps repeating until there are at least 20 million ballots cast in Iowa.
Hawaii has all mail in voting and as one party, stupid, and venal as our legislature is the law state all ballots must arrive at the vote counting locations by 2359hrs on election day. A good call.
However with TDS Federal judges here I am waiting how they will ignore that clear law to permit late ballots to be counted.
I thought it was standard practice that they have to be postmarked by election day. After? That’s bullshit.
I would go further and require all votes to be counted by election day – if that takes a week then lazy people need to mail them a week earlier and tough shit.
I think all 50 states require that the ballot be postmarked no later than election day, but I don’t think they all require the ballots to be received by election day.
Yeah, that’s where I have problems. I want a result on election day & there is no reason we can’t have that except TEAM politics.
Well aren’t you lucky that you don’t have to wait for election results 200 years ago! Or, maybe you will.
Good news, the results from the election of 1820 are finally in.
NH’s absentee ballot instructions state the ballot must be received by 5 PM on election day to be counted.
start printing the requisite number of votes
Is that how it works? Absentee ballots (i believe) are tied to registered voters, a competent opposition party would challenge that kind of shit. And yes people are stupid but I’m not buying that the republicans will simply say “oh you just found 6 million ‘votes’ seems legit”, see Bush v Gore circa a few elections ago. (yes it wasn’t absentee voting but the “poll-watchers’ did their job and I see no reason to believe they wont do the same this time.
Bush v. Gore could have an interesting precedential effect on this election, in that it may foreclose the window for recounting so that the EC can meet on time.
On the topic of 2000’s election, has there been an election since that Miami-Dade hasn’t fucked up in some fashion or another?
They intend to tie it up in the courts and force a constitutional showdown, with the expected political results of a further hardening between the two sides.
“Right now, the fraudsters can see how much their candidate lost by and start printing the requisite number of votes.”
It just doesn’t work that way. At least here in CA.
In order for a mail in ballot to be accepted, it has to have my name AND a unique number that I do not know, that was printed on it when mailed to me. That unique number is then validated at counting time.
For someone to just “print up votes” they would have to have the ability to REPRINT directly from the systems that hold these secrets. Let’s say they have access to those secrets and they know they need 10,000 more votes- whose ballots will they choose? Overt von California may have voted at a precinct or by mail already, in which case printing out my ballot doesn’t help them. (and at the end of this chain, I actually can log into a website and see whether or not vote was received, accepted, and counted.)
Put simply, if you want fraud, you would be much better suited to falsify the anonymous ballots from in-person ballots. At the end of the night, you just count up all the hundreds of people that didn’t report to the precinct- mark them as having shown up- and then drop in a stack of pre-filled ballots. And with the advent of Mail in Voting, even that strategy is more risky because there is a chance that a significant number of the people you “reported” as showing up via mail.
A lot of election experts are now saying this is gonna blow up on the Democrats big time.
Democrats report being twice as likely to vote by mail, and mail in votes are way way more likely to be invalidated than votes in person.
Why hasn’t the country gone to all mail in voting in the past? Oh yeah, because it’s shady AF.

First off, the legislative director is a nobody, not a notable figure. Outside of politics, no one has any idea who she is.
Why does a legislative director have time from their supposed job to hang out at protests at night? Went through ACLU’s legal observers training too. Is she doing this as part of her official duties or on her own time with a conflict of interest?
Instead of immediately firing her, her boss the state house speaker is backing her up.

Fun to watch current pop stars perform in one take. Must have been watching it for a month until I realized many of the videos are subbed in both English and Japanese which is great for learning.
Good to see you alive and kicking, Riven!

This story about a kid with a cleft lip adopting a dog that also had a cleft lip
I was on the edge of feeling some sympathy, but then I remembered this joke from Jr. High:
Broke out into laughter at that joke combined with this story.
I admit I chuckled a little at the headline even before reading your joke.
But the picture with the story is pure Aww!!!!!
Shouldn’t the kid get a rabbit if he wants a pet with a harelip?
Finally watched the video on lockdowns promoted by Jeffrey Tucker. It’s indeed very good.

I consider someone a true friend when we can talk about poo with each other
Any poo, or specifically your own?
Either-or
Had a backpacking trip in Wyoming and neither my friend nor I could shit for days on the trail. It was the cause of a lot of hilarity & quasi-competition (like, one of us would go off in the woods with the trowel & TP, and when we came out again, the other would ask if “it” happened.)
That’s a real friend. Still to this day!
So you’re into Scheißeporn.
You shared some kind of ~gasm with us the other day. We are becoming fast friends.

Growing opposition to Nashua, NH mask ordinance
Catherine Norton, owner of Norton’s Classic Cafe in downtown Nashua, said in a written statement to city officials that after having to shut down her business for three months and reopen at half capacity with other restrictions, she may now be required to police mask wearing.
“No,” Norton wrote regarding enforcing masks, “And I will work with my family that lives and owns property in Nashua and all of the contacts I know to vote out anyone who votes that we do. Enough is enough.”
In his statement, Travis Tripodi of Nashua argued that the newest proposal takes away the freedom of a business owner to operate their business how they see fit.
“Businesses and individuals do not need the government — federal, state or local — to tell them how to live their lives or operate their businesses. When people talk about how ordinances such as this are a slippery slope, this is exactly what they are talking about,” said Tripodi.
“ When people talk about how ordinances such as this are a slippery slope, this is exactly what they are talking about,” said Tripodi.“
I am told by reliable sources that people concerned about government overreach are bitter, clinger deplorable conspiracy addled, mouth-breathing rubes.
