Wife had an OB appointment today. The doc says our baby is both long and large for his… age? gestation? Anyhow, with about four and a half weeks until term, she is measuring at term, and unless she has an abnormal amount of fluid, he’s gonna be a chonk. First boy was 8.75lbs at full term, second was just over 7 but 3 weeks early. Looks like 3rd baby is going to come out ready to wrassle. Wife definitely feels like she’s carrying around a full-term baby. What is the old Heinlein saw? “Any healthy woman can do in [8] months what takes a cow or a countess 9.”
My alma mater has declared “Spring Break is Cancelled!!” after cops break up a 1000 person party. I’m sure all of those students are now on double secret probation. As an alumnus, I could not be more proud of the students or more disappointed by the administration.
I found this post on industrial literacy, share it with your Green friends.
While I am outraged the DA felt the need to bring charges, I am relieved that the good people of Texas found no reason to bring action against a man who defended his church against a shooter.
How could anybody be confused?
“Florida State University canceled its spring break on Wednesday to try to protect against the spread of coronavirus.
Sally McRorie, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs at FSU, told students that the administration is altering the schedule and canceling spring break because the school’s “highest priority remains the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff.””
So they still get Winter break though?
If they just had someone stand outside with an AntiFa protest sign, the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs would have probably brought in catering.
That before we had electricity and clean natural gas, people burned unrefined solid fuels in their homes—wood, coal, even dung (!)—to cook their food and to keep from freezing in winter.
Burning dung. That’ll be my excuse the next time I have a ladyfriend over and she walks in, crinkles her nose, and says “This place smells like shit!”
100% organic and renewable!
Of course that assumes you get to go back home to your house with central heat and electric lights.
Fire pits are a backyard thing in the south, I hear. There are usually burn restrictions in the Summer though.
Tons of back yard fires up here too. They were so popular that there was a rash of stories like this one where people were demanding bans, permits and other stupid crap.
And I love poking campfires with sticks. My add on comment was that the reason it is so nice is because it is the exception. I’m sure if you had to light fires to heat water and cook food every day, you wouldn’t be so excited to sit around one poking it with a stick.
We just had a fire in the backyard and the neighbor kids came over and everybody made s’mores. It was nice. Also nice that it was sub-70 and no humidity.

Actually, their problem is that they took their shot and missed. That hasn’t happened before and now they look weak. It used to be an unwritten law that you didn’t fuck with the intelligence services and the Feebs because they would end your career. Now they don’t have that option and have lost a lot of power.
Iran does it, so why not?
Sooo, democracy is when a group of assholes have decided that they get to pick the candidates that you are allowed to vote for? I’m glad we’re not a democracy.
I guess i can kinda understand, but it seems like such an open and shut case, why would you bring it to a Grand jury.
It’s Sharen Wilson, she has never seen a case she doesn’t want to prosecute
Jack Wilson looks like the Texan every Texas man would want to look like. Ass kicker that takes no shit and proved it. Thanks, Mr Wilson.
2 minute presentation by the prosecutor
“The dead guy busted into a church service and shot two people. Mr. Wilson, who by the way was awarded a Texas Medal of Freedom by the Governor, put him in the ground with one shot. Anybody want to indict him for murder? No? Alright, lets break for lunch.”
I am okay with that. I prefer the grand jury to make the decision over the DA.
“How could anybody be confused?”
I saw that on the DM. I still don’t know if that person is claiming to be transgender or naturally androgynous.

That before we had modern agriculture, more than half the workforce had to labor on farms, just to feed the other half. That if synthetic fertilizer was suddenly lost, a mass famine would ensue and billions would starve.
Heh. I used to know some Greens that thought that humanity could get all of its food through organic farming.
A grand jury in Texas decided Monday to take no action against a man who fatally shot an armed man who killed two people at a Fort Worth-area church in late December, prosecutors said.
Good.

President Donald Trump doesn’t exercise.
He’s got a theory about that. “Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy,” Evan Osnos wrote in a 2017 piece in The New Yorker.
The president, who is 6-foot-4 and about 240 pounds, also doesn’t follow any special diet, the piece said. He famously loves fried chicken, soda, and McDonald’s. While he’ll occasionally tuck into a burger from Burger King, his true love is McDonald’s fish sandwich. And he also has a soft spot for the fast-food restaurant’s French fries.
Trump, 74, on Wednesday credited those fries for his magnificent head of hair.
The claim came after Ari Fleischer, a former press secretary for President George W. Bush, posted a story on Twitter about a 2018 study that “reveals a chemical found in McDonald’s French fries may be the cure for baldness.”
“Scientists from Japan said the chemical is added to the fries in order to keep the cooking oil from frothing up. When they tested that chemical on mice, scientists said, the mice regrew hair. Scientists said this is the first time they have mass produced what they are calling ‘hair follicle germs’ with this method,” the story said.
Heh – maybe if I was a playboy billionaire I wouldn’t give a shit either. Instead, being me, I’ve been thinking this all afternoon.
So there’s concern trolling, what do you call it when someone is intentionally obtuse to try to make someone else look dumb?
Don’t tell him that the absolute best McD’s fries (mouth-scorchingly hot and just ever so slightly overdone, i.e. crisp AF on the outside) are to be found in Alexandria, VA. It’s my secret McD’s, tucked in a strip mall far away from the interstates.
Ooh, share. You can text me
(Rose Hill)
That was my guess. That’s the only one I go to
I’ve only ever been disappointed in the fries once that I can recall
Been there too. But I miss the days when they prepared the fries with lard.
Cue the fact checkers.
Also, “tuck into” a burger? Google tells me that may be an Australianism.

Kabul sits at about 6000′ MSL and is surrounded by mountains, many that reach above 15k (or more). The airline approach and departure into Kabul requires a spiral down in and up and out. It’s kinda nuts.
Anyway, as a consequence, during the winter months when you’re landing, the first thing you notice from about 20K’ (even in a pressurized cabin) is the smell. They’re burning everything… to stay alive. The temperatures are savage cold and they burn wood, cars, tires, fuel, feces, you name it. They burn anything they can to stay warm because the alternative is death. Whenever I hear Green New Deal and ‘global warming’ CO2 assholes speak, all I want – more than anything – is to transport them to Kabul in the winter and ask them if they would care to lecture the locals about the evils of “fossil fuels” and its terrible effect on Mother Gaia.
Ironically, our relative wealth is going to be the end of us.
Lots of greens are really ZPGers and are just fine with billions dying.
Another portion are really commies and think all those advances are because FDR and therefore only socialism will sustain it all.
You’d think these contradictory positions would make these groups natural enemies but they found common ground in their mutual hatred of people in general.
There’s a reason people would first get running water in the barn, and then the house.
There’s a movement in some California cities to ban natural gas in new home construction, because electricity is created magically and definitely won’t make home ownership more expensive.
Great. Now when there’s another blackout you not only can’t go out to eat in your electric car you also can’t cook dinner when you have to stay home.

“EXCLUSIVE: Leader of ‘white supremacist’ group Proud Boys is the state director of Latinos for Trump with close ties to the GOP as he’s pictured with high-profile republicans including the president’s son Don Jr., Roger Stone and Senator Ted Cruz”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8794301/Leader-Proud-Boys-state-director-Latinos-Trump-close-ties-GOP.html
Latinos for Trump is a white supremacist organization.
Well Latinos are white when they commit crimes doncha know?
They are oppressed minorities otherwise.
“Roger Stone is picture with a group of the Proud Boys as they hold up the ‘white power’ symbol with their hands. The unofficial uniform of the Proud Boys is a black and yellow Fred Perry polo shirt – which is, bizarrely, a clothing choice they share with many in the gay BDSM community”
I can only guess how much self-loathing homosexual meetups are generated by Proud Boys rallies. “We’re not gay, we just don’t masturbate and aren’t particularly into women.” Okay, bud. Keep telling yourself you’re only getting a blowjob from a dude to keep from masturbating if it lets you do your thing.
I never heard that they aren’t into women.
I don’t think its a requirement, but what little I’ve paid attention them, they look and talk exactly like the guys I knew who were super-Christian because they weren’t ready to come out of the closet yet. Maybe I’m the only one who sees that.
Maybe you’re the only one to see it because you’re the one who’s gay?
Could be, but I do enjoy the sensation of PIV sex, and find the female form much more exciting, so I’m not very good at being gay if I am.
Long, long time ago I was on a Mormon Usenet group. There was one dude who was staunchly all about doctrine and knew it backward and forward, yuge participant in the group (I think one of the founders).
Fast forward about 10 years, I see him in the comments of a Mormon blog absolutely trash-talking the church. Talk about whiplash. Oh, then he said something about being a bear and the light went on.
Related: I don’t care who someone sleeps with, but come out of the closet and immediately leave your wife to her own devices while you cavort, I’m going to judge you.
We had a guy in my ward, as a kid, leave his wife for his boyfriend. His son was my age and was the one who found out about the affair. Felt bad for him.
Mr. Mojeaux asked me what the difference was between leaving a wife for a woman or man, and I’m like, look, it’s one thing to cede the ground to another woman. You had a fair chance and somebody else won. This is especially true if you let yourself go.
But a dude? There’s just no competing with that.
I have heard of women getting mastectomies and all the prosthetics specifically to compete, and…they can’t.
I would see being left for a man as nothing to do with me. I would be angry because I wouldn’t believe he didn’t know and yet married me and brought on all this heartache, but I can’t imagine getting prosthetics and trying to compete. I mean, it’s him, it’s not me.
Years ago the morning dude on Sirius Patriot was hard core anti-gay marriage, for most of the normal religious/morality reasons, but one reason he kept harping on was if gay marriage were legal he would have to worry about his wife leaving him for a woman.

I’ve never seen Aladdin or heard the song.
Apparently it was left on the cutting room floor.
“Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts, in a stunning display of anger and frustration, went on his cable news network – of which President Trump is a frequent viewer – to slam McEnany.
‘For all of you on Twitter who are hammering me for asking the question, I don’t care because it’s a question that needs to be asked and clearly the president’s Republican colleagues a mile away from here are looking for an answer for it, too. So stop deflecting. Stop blaming the media. I’m tired of it,’ he said from the White House lawn with the executive mansion visible behind him.”
John Roberts is being a jackass here. If you watch the video, it’s clear she answers his question.
If you pretend he’s never answered it before, then you can act indignant.
And you have to pretend it’s a coherent question. Name the organization.
^THIS^
She said he had answered it and then started quoting statements he’d made condemning it and gave dates.
Then Roberts kept saying that he wanted a simple answer. I wonder what he thought his gotcha was going to be if she had said “yes”?

“Volunteers in Moderna’s and Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine trials describe miserable side effects including high fevers, chills and body aches that left them bed-ridden for a day – but insist ‘people should still get the vaccine’ when it is approved”
Luke Hutchinsons, 44, was prepared for that possibility after signing up to help test whether Moderna’s shot worked, safely.
He felt a bit less than 100 percent for a few days after the first dose but eight hours after his second dose on September 15, the healthy computational biologist was too weak to leave bed, running a high fever and writhing with pain and shivers.
It even got harder for Hutchinson to breathe. The experimental COVID-19 vaccine left him feeling like he’d contracted the virus it was meant to protect him against.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8794945/Volunteers-covid-vaccine-trials-painful-effects.html
WTF??
I know nothing about vaccines, except that they cause autism.
I mean, he essentially did contract the virus. It may not have been reproducing, but those are immune response symptoms.
This is just speculation, but I think it took them several generations of flu virus before they were able to tune it to get enough proteins in your system to train your immune system without it causing the full flu immunoresponse in a large number of people. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is similar.
You’ll get terrible side effects from the vaccine, but dammit, we’re still going to propagandize!

According to socialism, those min wage employees should be running place. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Kayleigh McEnany hurt the feelings of some sissy at Fox News. When he wouldn’t stop yapping about “white supremacists” she referred him to the interview Trump did yesterday with his wife at ABC. So he went on the air and had a hissy fit.
And points out the nepotism in the media world at the same time.
That was the sting at the end of the burn!
LOL. What an asshole. He acted exactly as his detractors would have predicted.
Dafuq does that even mean?
Trump handled it well – name the group for me and I’ll tell you if I disavow them.
What have the Proud Boys done that makes them white supremacists?
I’d like to know that to start with and then we can talk.
Anyone who believes they should be able to violate any one else’s rights by using violence against them, I condemn. Any group that says to me ‘I don’t like you because you’re white’, OK, who cares, then don’t bother me.
The left need to be called out hard on this shit.
I was explaining to someone yesterday — the Proud Boys are Male Chauvinists not White Supremists. So please berate them for the proper sin.
They are a little weird, but I don’t think they are white supremacists. But people are working with the labels the media and the Democrats have supplied.
I was a fan of Gavin McInnes prior to the Proud Boys thing. He just started drifting a bit too whiny MRA for me, and I bailed.
It means “You say it, then we get to interpret it as we see fit.”
I take it as a good sign for Trump that the Fox News reporters are turning on him. It was a myth that there was any love for him among their staff. They must be concerned he’s going to win.
All of those guys are Bush era holdovers who are mad Trump won’t let us bomb poor sheep herders into oblivion and bring the ones who are left here as refugees.
There’s a few decent people at Fox, IMHO, Tucker, Guteld, Kennedy, maybe a few others, but those guys are not running the place. The guys running the place are neocons.
Were. Roger Ailes is dead, and was forced out anyways. Fox News exists to be a skinsuited bogeyman where the actors no longer need to wear a mask. See Shep Smith ending up with a show on MSNBC.

Gun Owners of California reports Newsom signed AB 2847, which “forces manufacturers to use microstamping technology in order to have new handguns on the approved [California DOJ] roster.”
The CA DOJ maintains a roster of new guns approved for sale in the state of California. Beginning July 1, 2022, only new guns with microstamping technology will be added to the list.
Moreover, each time a gun with microstamping technology is added to the roster three guns without such technology will be removed.
Microstamping technology has proven unworkable everywhere it has been tried, as it is easily thwarted by criminals who understand how it works.
Sure you have a right to own weapons, as long as they exist on this list of imaginary weapons we allow you to own.
I’m still a little flabbergasted how 1) a court said with a straight face “impossibility is not reason to void a law” (paraphrased) and 2) mandating an impossibility is not an infringement.
Well that’s just because you don’t get that courts are all about the ends. And the end is that you don’t get to have guns.

The wool pattern comment is very true.
Our younger grandson’s nickname is “Chonk.” He’ll be one next month, and he’s already at upper 90th percentile for weight – and bottom 20% for height. Kid is going to be a fireplug. And he’s going to have a little brother in December or January. Those boys will be a pair of Immovable Objects.
Biology is an amazing thing. Both of my kids were “Chonks” at near 10 Lbs on delivery. XX never stopped growing until about 19. She’s tall and slender. XY didn’t start growing until about 18 months, just like his dad. But then, he did get a nice case of Salmonella as a toddler. We’ll see where he stops. I keep pestering him about getting some exercise so his sister can’t take him in a fair fight.
18 months ‘ago’
Ours have been tiny. Trashbaby#1 was induced because they were afraid of IUGR. She wasn’t being restricted, she’s just in the 10th percentile height. She’s in the 40th percentile weight last I checked, but that’s mostly from doing gymnastics (little gym) from 18 months. The kid is a ball of muscle.
Trashbaby #2 is measuring a few (4 or 5) weeks behind. New OB seems unconcerned about her, and we’re not getting worked up like they got us about #1. None of that “youre gonna meet your baby today” at 36 weeks, only to spend 3 hours with a specialist and have them send us home with a shrug of the shoulders.
Am I a bad father not knowing my kids birth weights or lengths? All I cared about was 10 and 10 and breathing.
I honestly don’t remember either for #1. 6lbs and change, IIRC. I have no clue about length. 23 inches? That’s a reasonable number, right? I do have the visual memory of looking up her weight/height on the growth charts and having to go nearly off the scale low.
I never understood the importance of the birth numbers except to garner pity for mama when she had to push out a butterball.
That last part is probably it? I know my mother had to push my lazy butterball ass out 3 weeks late cause I was all cozy. I was 9+ lbs in an incubator cause I was just a lazy baby.
My Dad’s caregiver is Tongan. She has an 8 year old nephew who they call Fat Boy. For them it’s a complement. The kid will probably play in the NFL one day.

The one (only one) bright spot of the pandemic for me is the expansion of delivery options. I don’t enjoy regularly shopping. I like shopping on vacation and occasionally going to thrift shops and flea markets, but every day shopping -pfft. Today I got wine delivered. AWESOME.
I do grocery shop because I want to pick my own veggies and meat, but it’s definitely a chore.

A large part of my job is coordinating inputs from multiple organizations spread across half the world. This panicdemic has ground almost all timely coordination to a halt.

Sometimes working with folks face to face is convenient, but otherwise I’m fine with working from home all the time.
This. I have been WFH primarily for 4 years now, but it used to be that you could schedule 3 days of meetings in the office and solve 3 weeks worth of online back-and-forth. I still think the optimum is “come into the office (client) when there is a hard problem to be solved”.
And speaking of shopping from home, yesterday I was amazed to see all the Glibs swag now available, so I went on a little shopping spree.
May I suggest a laptop case, pajamas and slippers?
I’m a sick fuck – I actually miss my colleagues.
My boss is the only person I work with who is from the same office as me. His boss is in Cleveland and his boss’ boss is in Texas. Colleagues around the world etc.
But a lot of that is a function of my old NYC-based company getting acquired by the big new more-international one and most of the IT staff leaving.
My everyday shopping routine hasn’t changed at all but I have everything I need within easy walking distance so no big deal. What’s changed is I now appreciate Amazon a lot more. In the before times I would take the subway to Bed Bath and Beyond or something – that seems crazy to me now when I could have just been ordering everything I need from Amazon all this time. I have to wait a little longer but the selection is a bit wider.
Yeah….but shopping at BBB in person is superior (not just for browsing – but being allowed to use as many expired coupons as you want without limits). Can’t do that on the website.
Some months ago I was comparing BBB+coupons with Amazon on a couple items I wanted, and Amazon was winning. I haven’t done that comparison in a while, though.
Indeed. Those coupons are what keeps the SodaStream refills affordable.
Bed Bath & Beyond gives me a skull cracking headache just for walking in the door. I’ve been a smoker for 37 years, so you’d think my nose functions would be just about gone. I can’t even image what BB&B smells like to someone with a healthy ol’ factory. The place is an assault by 5000 different scented candles and soaps and picture frames.
They should bottle whatever stuff that is they pump into the air there.
A Ted music link had this in the sidebar. Queen was a genius and Juanny Venus is doing well too.

Sitting here listening to my childhood Christmas collection. Memories, OMG, flooding in, most of them good.
Meanwhile, 40 years later, I’m thinking, “Maybe we should do something completely different this Christmas.”
Suggestions? I would rather they not involve palm trees.
Celebrate Festivus.
And make donations to the Human Fund in your friends’ names.
I agree with Ted, in part.
Start with a good Viking Yule on the winter solstic, advance to a crazy Roman Saturnalia (complete with slaves and masters exchanging places) and complete with Festivus. Your hubby better prepare since he will be wrestling.
Vegas
Vegas is dead until we can open back up again.
May I suggest this?
Childhood Christmas collection
A Jesse special of lube drums, an industrial sized container of viagra, and plane tickets for XX and XY to be as far away from the house as humanly possible during Christmas?
??
“Maybe we should do something completely different this Christmas.”
Social distance, wear your mask at all times, and use this time to educate your family about their wrong think and what they can do to improve their attitude, before you have to turn them into the authorities?
That’s what I’m trying to AVOID.
Go to Catalonia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caganer
I’m really more of an Andalusia kinda girl, but palm trees are right out around Christmas time.
You’re telling me you don’t prefer this to freezing temperatures?
That is what I am saying, correct.
Also, I have no spare change for such an outing, as much as I would reaaaalllly love to go.
Christmas Breakfast/Brunch, not dinner
Here’s our usual routine:
Go to my mom’s/her sisters’ house on Christmas Eve for snacks and family time. Other members of the extended family may or may not be there depending on where they are spending Christmas.
Go home. I play Santa. I go to bed. Occasionally, any friend I can rope into it and I will go downtown for Midnight Mass. My mom went once and that was enough for her. My last friend who loved it moved to Texas. I have no friends to go with. My husband definitely won’t. I might go by myself.
Christmas morning, presents and stockings. That lasts about 10 minutes.
Then we have cereal for Christmas breakfast (it’s the only time we have cereal).
Aaaaannnnnd that’s it.
Christmas Eve activities take the place of Christmas dinner. I was a child the last time my family had Christmas dinner and that was with Dad’s side of the family.
We would avoid the dinners and make things like sausage/egg casseroles and crepes for breakfast. Add some good lox and coffee and I usually enjoyed the meal more than the presents.
I hated going to see extended family on holidays. But that’s just me.
There are palm trees in Bethlehem. Why do you hate Jesus?
LOL First laugh of the day.
I aim to please and shoot to kill.
I know the article is about the patch but I am much more concerned at: the two overweight airmen and the one with hair that is way out of regs,

Oh, I saw it, long time ago, and they’re serious. Remember agenda 21? It had segregation as a core feature. Huh, I wonder why that sounds familiar? None of this stuff goes away, it just gets added to and renamed.
“7 – Avoid petty laws and useless officials.”
They just threw that one in there for some deflection.
Yeah, that one seems pretty reasonable but it depends on the subjective definitions of petty and useless.
Yeah, useless may mean not willing enough to haul your ass off to the gulag for wrong think.
This is some cringe (and not the same article as this morning so I don’t think ass drugs were involved): https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/right-wing-militias-civil-war/616473/

Well, it is the Atlantic, there’s no way it isn’t.

Related: Jesse Walker’s “The United States of Paranoia” has a really excellent chapter on the militia conspiracy fears of the 1990s.
People,” Geralt turned his head, “like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”
The Atlantic just wrote it with more nuance.

OFFS!
Typical politician “What does the poll-testing say I should say?”
If I were a white supremacist, I’d start a group and call it AntiRa.
How can people be this stupid? It takes five grueling minutes of internet research to find that this narrative is fucking bullshit. Are the PBs a silly fratboy kind of fraternal organization? Absolutely. Are they a white supremacist organization? Absolutely not.
The US govt is more of a racist organization if you go by history.
The 1619 project was bullshit Straff.
Sure. Just sayin’ that every govt is racist to some degree. At least going by the way the left defines it.
“‘My sexuality is sacred’: Bisexual pastor-turned-stripper has never been happier
Growing up in a strict Baptist family, Nikole Mitchell was expected to be quiet, reserved and sweet. But her dreams weren’t quite so conservative.
“From a young age, I had fantasized about being a stripper,” Mitchell, who now works as an erotic dancer on OnlyFans, told The Post. “But I was indoctrinated to believe my desires and my body were innately sinful and bad.”
So instead of pursuing the pole, the mother of three went all-in on religion — and became a pastor. Even that, however, was rebellious in her family’s eyes.
“I was taught that women aren’t allowed to lead and that women belong in the kitchen and with the children,” said Mitchell, 36. “So even though it went against everything I was told, I decided to become [a pastor] because of my love for performing.””

Some people just can’t find moderation.
That’s one way to get your tithes you.
She’s not Thicc at all.
“I started following my life coach’s wife [on Instagram]”
People are weird.
She looked better in nonskank form.
Yep airbrushing was not her friend
The church she went to in MPLS, Woodland Hills, is (or arguably was) headed by a christian anarchist/ libertarian, Gregory Boyd. She is right in that he seemed to be a bit of a Puritan as it relates to morality.
Anywho, based on one of his later works that I read he should now only be classified as a left libertarianish (still a moral Puritan), but he’s all in on white privledge and left culture. ? his book the Myth of a Christian Nation was still formative to my faith and my interpretation of govt and politics
Interesting.
The debate that upended the election is over until the next debate which will change the entire game. This week?

Wow, think of how much money someone pretty could make.
Unsure whether you’re fat-shaming, fugly-shaming, or kink-shaming.
Just surprised someone average looking can make enough money to buy a house in nine months.
She’s not bad looking but I don’t get guys simping for her. She looks like a typical public school teacher or bank teller.
Dayum, Count. That’s how you sick burn.

Mississippi lifts mask mandate
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves ended a statewide mask mandate on Wednesday as the number of COVID-19 cases have fallen in recent weeks to less than half of what they were at the peak of the pandemic in August.
The Magnolia State was one of 33 states in the union – not counting Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, who also instituted the mandate – to require its citizens to wear facial coverings.
But the governor said he will still require people to wear face coverings in schools to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
‘We should not use the heavy hand of government more than it is justified,’ Reeves said at a news conference.
‘We have to tailor our actions to the current threat, and make sure that they do not go beyond what is reasonable.’
