You might not be wrong for once, but then again nobody gives a rat’s ass what you think of Florida.

WTF is an NFT?
Fraud.
Apparently a crypto-generated “signature” or certificate validating that a particular piece of Intellectual Property is valid or confirmed or something.
It was mentioned in the Afternoon links yesterday — skimming the associated article, it was reported that it was used for such wacky things as confirming that someone’s gif file was the “original” naan-cat meme gif (as if *that* makes any sense — it is inherently a copy as is most others).
Think of it as the certificate with the Collector’s Edition Plates or somesuch.
I think it is pretty stupid and can’t image spending money on it — but I feel that way about a lot of artwork, and it isn’t my money — so go be crazy people, folks.
Er, “imagine” not “image”. Some psychologist should really do a study as to why the human brain can re-read something in preview multiple times, skim over typos — and then upon seeing it posted immediately spot the errors. Regardless of how many times you try to tell yourself to treat preview as posting. Weird phenomenon.
I have the same phenomenon at work. I can spend an hour checking for errors on a schematic on the screen and then when I send it to the printer, the first thing I see when I grab the printout is an error.
I’ve spent much time debugging a coding error caused by a minor typo. Your brain wants to see the correct text.
Read it backwards. Painfully slow but has always worked for me.
Someday, someone will pay me even more for proof that the image at the URL is authentic, if the image still exists at that URL.
It stands for Non-Fungible Token. A unique digital representation of something physical is the simplest way to explain it. As to why people are spending big money on them, I’ve got no explanation beyond Pogs, Beanie Babies, Tulips, or any other commodity bubble.
Eh, it makes sense to me in the same way that you can have lots of reproductions of an artwork, but only one “real” version.
It isn’t even a reproduction. Think of it like going to the Louvre, seeing the Mona Lisa, then buying a certificate verifying that you saw the Mona Lisa.
Mona Lisa Passport.
All you are buying is a digital signature.
So what happens when there is no power or internet?
And the certificate includes the name, timestamp, and other pieces of information to make it unique and traceable.

Add NH to the list. Sununu and the Senate President both came out against vaccine passports.
Interestingly, Wolf in PA said something along the lines of “We should only mandate vaccine passports if the Legislature OKs it”, right around the time some prominent folks in the Legislature came out against vaccine passports.
Dang…. I wanted that. One and done. Now I have to wait for Shot 2 – Feel Bad Boogaloo at the beginning of May.
I’ve absolutely got no reason to get jabbed until the company that I work for or the Government entity we contract with makes it so. Sooner rather than later, I’d wager. Fuck I hate this shit.

The Higher Path — a cannabis store in Los Angeles, California — says the product line ended up on digital shelves in the first place due to ignorance and a lack of diversity on the company’s marketing team.
“As an entirely white marketing team that lacks knowledge or trauma surrounding this weapon, we didn’t realize how violent and ignorant it was to promote such a brand/product. That’s on us,” said The Higher Path, according to TMZ.
Never change, California. Never change.
I’m surprised “diversity consultant” isn’t a requirement for the reefer biz.

Lockdown proponents are fond of saying they are simply “following the science,” but in reality, they are operating more on faith than science—faith that government planners can effectively mitigate the spread of the coronavirus if given the right tools (namely, coercion).

Does anyone really need further evidence that Govt has replaced God for these people?
Going back to work tomorrow.
My original plan was to crate the puppy, then come back at lunch to let her out. She had no accidents in her carrier on the drive up, so I know she can control herself for several hours when she wants to and/or sleeps most of the time. At night, I’ve been confining her to part of the kitchen since I don’t think she can control herself overnight, and she goes on training pads. I’m wondering if I should do that instead of the crate.
I guess I’ll try the crate and if it’s soiled, I’ll know she’s not ready yet.
I’d definitely use the crate. If you are coming home, she should be fine.
Maybe do a couple trial runs today so she knows you are coming back.
Oh yeah, I crate her when I go to the grocery store or the range, and I try to stay out for at least tow hours. So far, that’s been fine.
Crate training is house breaking.
Animals sound like too much work.
I think I accidentally killed my pet rock.

Rapper Xzibit’s marijuana company Napalm Cannabis has been hit with an accusation of racism due to it being named after the chemical weapon used in firebombs during the Vietnam War, according to a report by TMZ.
So you do not, in fact, like the smell of napalm in the morning.
Also, drawing that connection is retarded. Should we ban Mitsubishi because it made war machines for the Japanese Empire?
No, that would be anti-Asian.

I referred to my beloved 2000 Eclipse as the Zero. It was great because after 17 years (3 of them with the XX), and 225,000 miles, I had ZERO problems with it. Sold it to a mechanic who wanted to do a full restoration on it. He called me a week later wanting to know what oil I used, and how often I changed it. “The inside of the engine looks great!”
I was going to quip “Napalm Death hardest hit”, but then I remembered their solid, if pedestrian, contribution to the Virus 100 album and now I wonder if singing an anti-NAZI song would count in their favor.
Instead, lockdown proponents continue to operate mostly under the Good Intentions Fallacy (also known as the Righteousness Fallacy). They assume these restrictions must be working because they are passed in good faith by smart people who care.
This is a perennial trap in policymaking, the famed Milton Friedman once observed.
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results,” the Nobel Laureate economist explained.
That sounds like racism.
They honestly wouldn’t know what to do if one of their policies actually worked. That would be tragic.
Also, ‘smart people’ should be in scare quotes.
Emphasis on scare.
So are any of you surprised that the woke fuckers at Facebook that side with the political cabal of the ultra-rich & powerful which peddle the agenda that anyone opposing them has to be a racist are actually racists?
First I call bullshit and second, who the fuck would invite that cancer into your company? Hire xim? Fuck that xe’s a cunte!
Have you not seen the Facebook commercial calling for more internet regulations yet? They strongly imply that the regulations years ago are what brought about all the “goodness” that we have on the current internet.

Ooh, squirrel!
Was walking the dog yesterday and working her off-leash when we passed a neighbor’s yard and a squirrel that stupidly came out of the tree at that exact moment. She broke and chased that little furry bastard around the yard and only very reluctantly returned to me. Today we walk by the same tree, no squirrel, but she remembered from yesterday and broke again to check. sigh. She gets one more chance and then she’ll be wearing an e-collar if she bolts again.
WFH has accelerated that for me. Unless something is broken, I am pretty much just reading tech manuals on one screen and RPG’ing on another

The tech giant had the audacity to add a fact check advisory to 25-year-old Desirée Penrod’s personal post in which she documented experiencing fatigue, headaches and earaches after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.
“The vaccine is killing me today,” the preschool teacher wrote in her last post on March 10.
Looks like FB is treating this like YouTube is treating the Potato Puppet *Presidency. Either way, chalk up one more convid death.
I feel sorry for her and her loved ones but turning your own death into a FB post for whatever reason is pretty gauche. Soon there will be copy-cat vaccine deaths.
“So what does this senseless shooting accomplish? His kids lost their dad, we lost Mark, so we all lost. What does it accomplish?” Owens said.
Well, his kids can go play in the backyard again, and he’ll be out of prison in a decade. Meanwhile, Mr. IDGAF won’t be menacing any more neighbors.
Was the fellow shooting at the fence with a firearm or a paintball gun? If firearm, I’m pretty sure State and County law already make that sort of behavior subject to immediate arrest. I haven’t lived in FL in a long time but IIRC, there were laws against discharging a firearm within x feet of State roads or towards occupied dwellings.
It was a paintball marker.
Firing a paintball marker at a fence with little kids playing on the other side is asshole behavior, for sure. It’s probably not the level of asshole behavior that justifies unloading your real gun into his chest.
I don’t have any sympathy for the victim, but I’d vote to convict the perpetrator.
Exactly! And it seems the sort of dispute that could be quickly handled with some beers and a polite request (“My kids are freaked out. Would you be so kind as to redirect your fire? Wanna beer?”)

It’s a shit show.
Chauvin Trial Day 7 Wrap-Up: a horrible day for the prosecution
The initial witnesses were asked to describe how they felt while watching Floyd die. I had no idea that sort of testimony was permitted.
They don’t appear to have much of a case. They have fucked around for a week and a half and we still don’t know how the fucker died.
Well, we do, but they sure as shit haven’t proved that Chauvin had anything to do with it.
“Like someone pumped up with Fentanyl, I felt nothing.”
That’s been me from the start but I didn’t need no fentanyl, just a heaping helping of who gives a fuck.
Normally, it would be prejudicial, but they are allowing it as they are seeking to fortify the conviction. It’s totes kosher.
Holy shit, the defense has already established an abundance of reasonable doubt, and they haven’t even put on their case in chief.
Of course it doesn’t matter because Chauvin’s conviction is a done deal to sate the mob.
Yeah, the bit about recalling the prosecution witness, as a defense witness? Holy shit.
But I have been assured that the defense basically has no case.

Chuck Schumer vowed in November that when his Democrats “take Georgia, then we change the world.” He wasn’t far off.
The New Yorker’s ascension to Senate majority leader gave President Joe Biden the power to spend trillions of dollars that would not have materialized had now-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell held onto one of Georgia’s two Senate seats. Schumer’s party now holds complete control of Washington, its members eager for success after a decade of setbacks.
It’s an opportunity, Schumer said in an interview this week, that comes around “maybe twice a century.” And he’s not wasting his hot hand, ensuring that the White House infrastructure plan includes two of his long-sought personal goals to reshape the economy: a clean-cars plan with more than $100 billion for electric vehicles and a sweeping measure designed to crack down on China’s influence. That’s not to mention his continued pressure on the White House, alongside Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), to enact major student loan forgiveness.
The personal stake he has in this political moment can’t be understated: After spending Donald Trump’s presidency leading a minority that was trampled by massive GOP tax cuts and three conservative Supreme Court justices, Schumer is seeking reelection next year as one of a trio of Democratic leaders who could rack up achievements rivaling FDR’s New Deal.
So what you’re saying is Schumer has vowed to exact terrible vengeance on America?
Buckle up, America. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
I’m buckled up and wearing a helmet. I’m not sure it’s gonna help.
It’s no accident that he resembles Bucky Buzzard.
who could rack up achievements rivaling FDR’s New Deal.
“Achievements”, “further destruction of the republic”. “Tomayto”, “tomahto”.
“After spending Donald Trump’s presidency leading a minority that was trampled by massive GOP tax cuts” Quality writing there. Trampled I say! They were lambasted! Bulldozed!
Hornswaggled, even!
TARDis, I’m so sorry to hear about the kitty. I hope your little girl isn’t too heartbroken.

congrats, you actually made my skin crawl a little
Condolences Tardis.
Thanks, all. It sucks for sure. We are furry free now.
I got blind-sided, and little emotional because of it. When my wife came in from the garage she was holding the cat carrier in such a way that I thought kitteh was resting inside. She quickly explained she had to have her put down. I instantly turned on my heel to leave the room, just as XX came in. She stabbed me with a, “You know, you could grieve WITH US!” Three minutes later, we’re both boo-hooing in my room. She apologized.
I am so sorry to hear this. My sympathies.
Sorry.
TARDis, I couldn’t find where you posted, but I am so sorry about your kitty. I can’t stand being in the house alone without a little kitty soul somewhere in it.
Thanks.
I guess we will be pet free for a bit. Wife made an odd comment after I said we needed to stay away pet stores on the weekends (adoption days). She something about not wanting to go through this again in 15 years.
*shrugs*
Everyone grieves in their own way I guess. We discussed getting rid of the pet stuff briefly, very briefly. I said no; not until it gets in the way. You never know.
I always say “no more” when we are left petless and then a week or two later, here they are, another pair of littermates.
We’ve been petless for about 8 months. Losing 3 pets in the space of a year to various demises has made us content in being petless. Our fourth pet is at my grandparents’ farm if we ever felt the need, but she’s happy there and we’re not in a good place for cats (the cat we brought here disappeared after 3 weeks).
It was hard to get rid of all the pet stuff. There’s a certain finality to it, even though it’s a decision that can be changed in a day.
My condolences. Sounds like you had a good kitteh.

Sustained and significant growth in jobs, wages and productivity “would change America,” Schumer said by telephone as he toured New York’s counties this week. “The sunny optimism of America would return and the sourness that’s in the land — because people worry about their futures — would dissipate.”
That is why they cannot, under any circumstances, allow that to happen.
Space Race 2: Russian Federation Boogaloo
The big picture: Russia’s capabilities aren’t necessarily new, but the nation’s most recent testing of its space weapons has some experts concerned that these types of tests will just inflame tensions in orbit.
“If you look at what’s actually happening, the Russians have been extremely active, and much more so than I think even the Chinese have been,” Victoria Samson of the Secure World Foundation told Axios.
Russia also seemingly has less to lose in space if these types of tests become the norm by comparison to a nation like the U.S., which relies more than any other country on expensive assets in orbit for warfighting.
The intrigue: Russia’s space industry and civil space program have faced headwinds in recent years, from budget shortfalls to launch failures to competition from SpaceX and others.
And with the International Space Station program coming to an end in the coming years, Russia’s close ties in space with the U.S. are fraying.
Military space operations appear to be the area where Russia is hoping to maintain its prestige, Samson added.
The nation is focusing many of its military efforts — including inspecting that U.S. spy satellite — in low-Earth orbit (LEO), the part of space where many commercial satellite constellations function.
“This kind of unusual behavior is more concerning, especially as the United States commercial industry looks to really invest and grow its presence in LEO,” Kaitlyn Johnson of CSIS told Axios.

“I have little doubt that with excess savings, new stimulus savings, huge deficit spending, more QE, a new potential infrastructure bill, a successful vaccine and euphoria around the end of the pandemic, the U.S. economy will likely boom,” Dimon said. “This boom could easily run into 2023 because all the spending could extend well into 2023.”
Dimon, who managed JPMorgan through the 2008 financial crisis, helping to create the biggest U.S. bank by assets, pointed out that the magnitude of government spending during the pandemic far exceeds the response to that previous crisis. He said the longer-term impact of the reopening boom won’t be known for years because it will take time to ascertain the quality of government spending, including President Joe Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure bill.
“Spent wisely, it will create more economic opportunity for everyone,” he said.
Wheeeeeee!
“Spent wisely”, lol.
Shorter version: Expect massive asset overvaluation and a massive bust in a couple of years.
This, except that we’re already in the midst of the bubble, and the pop will happen any time now.

It puts the money on its racism or it gets the hose
Planners of the interstate highway system, which began to take shape after the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, routed some highways directly, and sometimes purposefully, through Black and brown communities. In some instances, the government took homes by eminent domain.
It left a deep psychological scar on neighborhoods who lost homes, churches and schools, says Deborah Archer, a professor at the New York University School of Law and national board president of the American Civil Liberties Union. Archer recently wrote for the Iowa Law Review about how transportation policy affected the development of Black communities.
She says the president will face major challenges in trying to rectify historical inequities.
“What is not clear is whether and how that money will be distributed in a way that will address the racial inequalities that are built into our transportation system and our infrastructure,” she tells NPR’s Morning Edition.
Something something road to Hell, good intentions, pay no attention to those people behind the curtain.
Can’t they just throw a few “diversity and inclusion” consultants at it? They will have all the answers.
“Report: Biden Admin Wants to Restart Border Wall Construction”
This is my favorite talking point this week: This proves how terrible a president Biden is. If he was even an average president, he’d have quietly kept the wall and Trump’s immigration policies (because they work). Then he’d make a big show about changing something else. The willing press would go right along with him. Instead, he still believes the party line, that EVERYTHING Trump did was wrong, so he just reverses everything Trump did.
There’s a study out there about how the more partisan you are, the less critical thinking you use. Here’s your proof.
“What are you rebelling against, Johnny?”
A Democratic Party mouthpiece says “what”?
Wallace said, “When is someone in the Republican Party going to rise up against those in the Republican Party whose speech and language and selection of debates are still killing people? I mean, choosing to have a debate about vaccine passports in all states where they are aggressively advocating for voter IDs for laws that require IDs is such flagrant hypocrisy. It would be funny if it didn’t have such deadly consequences.”
RealClearPolitics editor A.B. Stoddard said, “I think they’re looking for a new boogeyman, which is definitely Dr. Fauci, and then leaning into the fights over lockdowns and freedoms, which will help Ron DeSantis run for president in 2024. It’s also part of the culture war that the government is out to oppress people, and they’re going to lock you down. You’ll be forced to have a vaccine and have a passport, and that’s just the first step of taking over your whole life.”
Wallace said, “The war against science.

Maybe it ain’t a vaccine and the FDA did not approve it and the companies cannot be held liable for their product, hence the hesitation/skepticism by so many people.
I want to side-step/meld into a different Timeline, if you please?

Can you imagine the risks of letting Asian women fly planes?
I laughed.
Glad I don’t fly anywhere.
Do these women and people of color have a choice? Or is there a draft if not enough show up?
No problem, just lower the standards so more of them apply. It’s fool proof.
Peterson has a whole spiel about this very thing. When faced with the choice, most everyone falls to the mean. Women become nurses, teachers, homemakers and office drones and men just do what we’ve always done. It’s not that hard to suss out.
Looks like I will have to peek into the cockpit of the plain and decide if I want to risk my life with affirmative action pilots now too?

Fantasist-in-Chief
When President Biden unveiled his major new infrastructure plan last week, the proposal included much more than fixing crumbling bridges. And for those who wish America had a more robust passenger train network, it gave them something new: hope.
Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure package has two provisions involving passenger rail: $85 billion to modernize public transit (commuter rail, buses, stations, etc.) and $80 billion to improve and expand the nation’s passenger and freight rail network.
“You and your family could travel coast to coast without a single tank of gas onboard a high-speed train,” Biden said at the plan’s unveiling.
But the idea isn’t just nice family trips — it’s to use improved rail infrastructure and service to alleviate problems such as traffic and air pollution as well as improve access to jobs. Transportation is the largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
“The American Jobs Plan will build new rail corridors and transit lines, easing congestion, cutting pollution, slashing commute times, and opening up investment in communities that can be connected to the cities, and cities to the outskirts, where a lot of jobs are these days. It’ll reduce the bottlenecks of commerce at our ports and our airports,” Biden said.
And then they all had a good laugh.
L O L
Do they really believe that?
“And then they all had a good laugh.”
While they wiped their brows with stacks of money.
“You and your family could travel coast to coast without a single tank of gas onboard a high-speed train,” Biden said
Pass. I’d rather do the great American road trip.
it’s to use improved rail infrastructure and service to alleviate problems such as traffic and air pollution as well as improve access to jobs.
Government infrastructure projects are notoriously successful…
And on time, and under budget.
Great, I can travel between someplace I don’t want to live, and someplace I don’t want to visit, easily and cheaply. Sounds like fucking paradise.
Alongside that —
On my trip, the absolute worst leg is the NY Thruway. They’ve got a monopoly on what’s available along it so it’s a dreary succession of overpriced gas, McD, and Sbarro. To protect their interest, they don’t allow food or gas vendors to put their logos on the exist signs as for the rest of the 1750 miles. They do allow hotels and attractions to do so, so it’s not like they have a “no advertising” rule, just a “no competitors” one.

Young rednecky me thought Sbarro was actually Italian food.
Prediction: we’ll get three more California high-speed rails to nowhere, existing subways in NYC et al. will continue to fall apart, a couple more suburban light rail projects will be built, and bus systems from coast to coast that actual poor people depend upon will continue to be cut in order to pay for it all.
Who are you so wise in the ways of public transportation?
A long-suffering user.
Hey California, how is your high-speed …
Oh, nevermind.
That trip from Bakersfield to Palmdale is gonna be so awesome when it opens in seven more years! And when the whole thing from SF to LA is complete in another twenty years or so it is gonna be so fast! Imagine getting to LA in only 4.5 hours! Incredible.
You’re being optimistic.
I am still curious how the high-speed rail they want to do between Vegas and LA going to work coming down through Cajon Pass…..oh wait, its only to Victorville and then you are bused down to San Bernardino to catch the Metrolink. So efficient.

That’s just vaccination the old fashioned way.
While sitting for my designated 15 minutes after shot, a couple volunteers came by to check on me, also less than 6-ft distance. Didn’t they hear Foochi’s and Biden’s guidance to maintain 6-ft distance even after getting the vaxx? SMH
Just proof that the government can make health rules, but people naturally won’t follow them, even if they have totally bought into the rules.
“I hate vaccine passports — and you should too
Who believes that the government, Big Tech and corporations have our best interest at heart?
The widespread implementation of some kind of digital vaccine passport or ‘vaxport’ appears to be a foregone conclusion in the United States — but not if I can help it. I’m going hard against it while there’s still time. You should too.
It’s a very simple question: do I trust the government, Big Tech and corporations not to abuse this power? The answer is NO. Absolutely not. And why should I? Why would anyone? I could have just stopped at ‘do I trust the government, Big Tech and corporations?’ Opposing vaccine passports seems like something that should unite people across the entire political spectrum.”

Of course Dougie Doug is almost certainly going to step in and “reassert” his power by… putting even more restrictions on us.
Hard lock-down, eh? He is certainly the lesser of the crack-baking Ford brothers. What a pussy. I’ll bet Rob Ford would let an immigrant cough directly into his open mouth to prove his point. Sorry man, it’s going to happen here, eventually.
Basically the healthcare BS-crats pitched a fit because Doug didn’t do what they wanted so they went over the top and did it anyway. Doug reasserted his control by issuing further restrictions on us and the doctors ended up getting even “more” than they originally “asked for” in the first place.

A Navy sailor shot and wounded two other sailors at a facility in the Maryland city of Frederick on Tuesday morning before driving to the US military’s nearby Fort Detrick, where police shot and killed him, authorities said.
The US Navy tweeted that the shooter was a Navy hospital corpsman, and Fort Detrick officials told CNN that he was posted at that installation.
They identified him as Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, whose rank was E-4.
“We are still investigating motive, investigating the exact circumstances,” Army Brig. Gen. Michael J. Talley told reporters at an afternoon news conference.
The gunman was stopped at the post’s gates, but before the vehicle could be searched the shooter took off. He was stopped about 1/2 mile onto the installation, where he got out of the car, brandished a weapon and was shot by police, Talley told reporters.
I wonder why not…
No idea if this is accurate:

Midweek glibfit thing: diet soda takes you out of ketosis by tricking your system into burning carbs that aren’t there? Low blood sugar? ‘betus? Weight gain?
(The squirrels bamboozled me into posting that on last night’s post by accident)
I don’t know about Keto, but for intermittent fasting, eating or drinking anything with flavor such as gum or sugar free drinks will break your fast. The flavor tricks your body into thinking it’s getting sugar, and it responds as if you actually ate sugar. I would imagine the same would apply for Keto.
Yeah that’s what I was getting at. I’m not intermittent fasting or anything, I just wondered about the extent of how the flavor “tricks your body”.
This is the book Mrs. TOK read, and it explains all the hormones and such. Even though it’s not addressing Keto, I think the ideas would apply.

On my favorite baseball site, commenters were cheering the move of the All-Star Game to Denver. I commented “Don’t look too closely at Colorado voting laws … ” My comment was deleted. The others remain.
A moderator also commented they would not tolerate “misinformation” about the virus or the vaccine. On a baseball discussion site.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
which site so I know which one to avoid?
Ditto. Who is it? F&£# that noise.
It’s one of the SB Nation team sites. I’ve been a regular since 2003. I no longer participate there.
Called it lol.
Probably an SBnation site (vox). I am guilty of it as I follow a soccer blog there. They post a similar daily links article every morning and has a section on “stay informed, read this.” It’s always about race or gender.
I occasionally post to stir some shit, but so far have not been banned.
Yup. SB nation has been hopeless since Vox got their claws in it.
I was thinking the same thing (“sounds like SBNation”) because I’ve heard similar things in the last few days.
The personal is political, comrade.

I have a thought to just pepper the comments with shit like “My friend Violet Beauregarde told me the vaccine turns you purple!” until I get banned.

Baseball is going woke.
I was already getting ready to break away when the Indians changed their name. This is just making it easier.
Yeah, at this point I like the Orioles logo and Camden Yards. I couldn’t go there last year and they were awful, so I didn’t watch a single baseball game. I didn’t miss it and they are not giving me a reason to tune back in, even after sweeping the Red Sox.
Yup, I’d say I am pretty well done with MLB after this latest bullshit. I’ve been an SF Giants fan my entire life, went to games at Candlestick since I was five, spent many of my childhood summer afternoons in the GA section there (it was $2.50 for under 16!), and would generally attend between five and ten games a years in person. The only sports I have left to watch now are F1 and women’s pole vaulting. This week I will be cancelling Comcast due to that.
I’m going to try to hold on as long as I can, but Manfred is making it tough. And Jeter (the face of my Marlins) is making it even tougher with his insistence on issuing a woke statement about seemingly everything that happens in the news cycle.

For those eager for alternatives to the car, the historic proposal by a president known for his former daily commute by Amtrak from home in Wilmington, Del., to D.C. is what they’ve been waiting for.

Well with the train travel you won’t have to quarantine when you get to where you are going because it will take that fucking long to arrive there.

At least we are throwing money at worthy things.
Artists may be the only group more heroic than teachers. I’d be much happier if they gave money to people who were working at some job that involved heavy lifting.
You think they’d give me the money if I showed them Hat and The Hair and called myself an Artist?
They might. I actually support you doing that.
If it’s really only private money then I don’t care what they do.
Agreed, but you gotta know it’s just a rouse.
Regardless of whether it does any good or not it will eventually be done using state money.
If it can be spun to be seen as working, it’s so important that the state must take over and involved every “eligible” artist.
If it’s a clear failure, it’s proof that it’s too important to be left in private hands and only the state can handle something so important.
I’m watching some of the testimony from the Chauvin trial and were you guys right about PDs and their reliance on “The totality of the circs” stuff. That’s been the main theme the defense has been leaning on. It seems to me that either you torch the entire or Minny PD or you let Chauvin off. He seems like an indifferent POS, but it would also seem ridiculous to toss him in prison for putting his a knee an inch higher than what Minny PD says you can. What a shitshow.
It’s political theatre in which they sacrifice anybody they want to the cause of woke marxism, brah..
We only try witches because witches are real, it would be silly otherwise, wouldn’t it?
The problem is the entire Minny PD, yet Chauvin is going to be the one sacrificed for its sins.
The left will get their pound of flesh, and then nothing will change.
I’m concerned they’ll reach the wrong verdict, and that will be proof that our entire justice system is broken and the Dems will try to remake it to be more “just”.
He’ll be convicted of a lesser charge to throw a bone to the mob.
Probably the one he was going to plea to in the first place.
There will be riots either way.
I tend to agree. The riots are an end in themselves, just looking for a pretext. If they don’t put one in the base of Chauvin’s skull on the courthouse steps, the mob will have its pretext.
If he’s not convicted there will be protest riots, and if he is there’ll be celebratory riots.
I’m betting on hung jury.

And “it gives us the opportunity to demonstrate and advocate nationally that culture makers need to be included in the work to make our economy more equitable and just,” Springboard Executive Director Laura Zabel said in a statement.
First- WTF are “culture bearers”?
Second- nothing “equitable and just” like taking money from Party A and giving it to Party B because Party B is presumably incapable of creating value on his/her/its own.
Talentless assholes that are otherwise unemployable.

I don’t give two shits about the vaxx thing one way or the other, except the fear that it might be mandatory or you’ll just be ‘cancelled’ if you don’t get it. But I’ve got a couple anecdotes:
My older sister got shot 1, then I guess she got sick and tested positive for ‘The Virus’. Any normal vaxx, I would think that would be a duh kind of thing, that’s what the vaxx does. But I don’t know too much about these RNA vaxxes.
My SIL got vaxxed and was running a fever and feeling shitty, my brother was fine.
My mom has gotten into some of the crazy stuff, it’s made of aborted babies to control you mind or some shit; and something about passing on something generically if you have kids, I don’t know.
Trust your mom on this one.
The simple objection is that we have no idea what the long-term risks are from the mRNA vaccines, which are a completely novel and untested technology.
Pushing those vaccines to anyone who is not at high risk from COVID is ethically objectionable.
Pushing and forcing are two different things. We’re always saying that FDA regs need to go away, let people make their own decisions. I’m fine with it, until it becomes forced either by government, or in a heavy handed ‘cancel culture’ way.
Scruffy and CPRM nail how I feel.
I don’t begrudge anybody getting the shot. I do begrudge people judging me and my family for not getting the shot.
So much this.
I’m not getting it.
I try not to judge anybody getting the shot, especially older people with high risk (hi dad!). I feel bad for somebody who was bullied into it (coworker) and for people being “blackmailed” into it (hi Nomad!).
There is a non zero chance the vaccine can kill you, and no one knows the long term effects.
The precedent being set is way beyond what govt (in coordination with your friendly corporations) has done to the average person since the draft and that only effected young men. There comes a point when every liberty minded person has to weigh the cost of heavy handed intrusion into peaceful people’s lives vs the cost of doing something about it. I hope we draw that line wisely.
People already need vaccinations for school. I had to get one for meningitis before I went to college.
So it’s not totally unprecedented.
True. You gotta admit there is some Frankenstein lab feeling to this giving how quickly they rolled it out, the destruction of objectivity recently and the mob coming after you if you say you won’t get it.
They’re trying way too fucking hard. It’s a huge, glaring red flag.
It’s not like they’re going to round up the unvaccinated and put them in lazarettos. Yet.
I’m waiting until there’s something I want or need to do where the shot is required. Not a moment sooner. And if that’s never, that much better.
Wait, WTF? sarcasmic is here? Wassup.
Easter miracle.
Howdy.
Howdy.
Looks like someone else is tired of the BS spewed daily at TOS.
Aye. Haven’t posted in weeks. Not that you’d know reading the comments. They think everyone is sarcasmic.
I basically stopped reading comments there. It’s a complete shitshow, and has been for a couple of years, at least.
But the articles there are the real crime now. They allowed TDS to infect everything they wrote, and the last 4+ years have shown that Reason is no longer a small island of libertarianism.
My older sister got shot 1, then I guess she got sick and tested positive for ‘The Virus’.
No vaccine in use in the USA uses inactivated SARS-CoV-2 viruses. She couldn’t have gotten it from the vaccine. Either the test is a false positive (such as triggering on some side effect of the immune response generated by the vaccine or just a bogus test) or she acquired the virus elsewhere.
mRNA vaccines and adenovirus vaccines, both of which are in use in the USA, attempt to trigger an immune response which somehow generates immunity.
I’d trust an injection of ‘live’ virus before I’d trust these untested mRNA vaccines.

If only they will heavily expose the youngsters to fire-starting, orienteering, living off the land, and getting lost in the woods.
The BSA Handbook used to have a section on how to poop in the woods.
It’s now gone, but there is a section on what to do if you think your wrestling opponent touched you inappropriately.
I’m not joking.
Short of some kind of insertion it seems like all would be fair there.
Until the opponent tries to cop a boob feel of a girl who identifies as a boy.
If the opponent is a boy, does that make him gay?
*so confused*
If she identifies as a boy, then I don’t see how she has any reason to complain.
I thought inappropriate touching was the whole point of wrestling.
You’re thinking of Greco-Turkish wrestling.
The thumb blast is a real thing.
I have a copy of Lord Baden-Powell’s original ‘Scouting for Boys’ from 1908. The content thereof would make the modern BSA shit themselves in blind panic. It’s wonderful, I highly recommend tracking down a copy.
‘To pitch a tent in the wild, simply view some young boys bathing in the natural surroundings of a lake or river.’
LOL
LBP was a bit questionable in that regard.
LBP, and the entire British aristocracy. The more things change…
My friends and I used to spend hours at the mall scouting for boys. I wonder where they went to do that in 1908.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/boy-scouts-video-game-bad_n_555085
My understanding from people heavily involved in Scouts for a long time is that big outside money at the national level pushed changes to the organization. It was in no way a grassroots change, but instead, like many other groups, was targeted for institutional change and the leftists put their money where their mouths are.
Also, my church subsidized Scouting costs. No bake sales or popcorn sales or anything else. We were shocked at how much it would cost to keep my kid in Scouts after the church pulled out of the BSA.
^^ When our troop dropped the Mormon Churches subsidy, all of a sudden it was a massive cost to keep him in it.
Sounds more like Young Pioneers than Hitler Youth.
I’ll be honest. That sounds gay as shit.
there is a section on what to do if you think your wrestling opponent touched you inappropriately.
Bite his ear off, I hope.
Pandemic of homelessness
The Texas state court system is signaling that it will no longer enforce a federal order aimed at stopping evictions during the coronavirus pandemic. That could clear the way for landlords to push ahead with tens of thousands of eviction cases that have been on hold.
The timing could be particularly painful for many families, coming after Congress has approved billions of dollars to help people pay the rent they owe to avoid eviction, but before the vast majority of renters have been able to receive any of that money.
Legal aid attorneys are raising the alarm that the state is about to allow a wave of people to be put out of their homes, with no place to go.
“We’ve had a failure of leadership that’s going to result in tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Texans becoming homeless in relatively short order,” says Mark Melton, who heads up a pro bono team of 175 volunteer lawyers in Dallas.
Give them each a bus ticket to San Diego.
Now do homes confiscated for not paying property taxes.
The eviction hold is still in effect? The people that own these properties continue to incur expenses you know. Pay the damn rent or GTFO.
Yeah, but landlords can just pluck a couple gold coins out of their swimming pools to cover ongoing expenses.
I get it for the states that are forcibly closed (they shouldn’t be but it is what it is) but in Texas and others that are open it just enables bad tenants and grifters.
Yep.
Uneducated Economist has a mini rant about it at 6:08 inside his larger rant.

It’s not like landlords have to maintain the properties and pay a mortgage or anything.

It’s not me that I worry about, it’s the kids. Will they ever know an ounce of what we used to call “freedom”? We’re raising a generation of jug-eared children that have been taught to obey dictates at all costs. Unless there is a severe backlash ala the Swinging Sixties, they are doomed. I’d prefer a bunch of lazy, smelly Hippies and chicks with questionable morals and hygiene than what I see happening now. There has to be violent pushback.

Business and corporations working hand in hand to limit individual freedom for their respective benefits is fascism, and isn’t libertarian at all.
So the family and I will be heading to Mexico for 12 days in two months from now. One of the first moves of the Presidementia admin was to require a negative Vid test within 72 hours of coming back to the US from any international destination. I assume this regulation (which was supposed to be temporary) will be in effect for the next few decades. Interestingly enough, if you have documented proof that you had the Coof, you can skip the test, but the vaccine gets you nothing (and you’ll like it!). I made an appointment yesterday with the little clinic in the small town near where we go. 60 bucks each. This pain in the ass, alongside the mask mandate on the plane will pretty much ensure that my international travel in the future will be much more limited.

More Reasons to be Scared Shitless!
A third of Covid-19 survivors suffer ‘brain disease,’ study shows
Lockdowns forever!
The most common diagnosis was anxiety, found in 17% of those treated for Covid-19, followed by mood disorders, found in 14% of patients.
So…they suffer from life under the thumb of an ever growing oppressive government.
The doctor’s office tv was playing CNN in the waiting rooms.
And what’s the increase in anxiety and mood disorders among the general population?
Steady at 100%.
So mood disorders and anxiety? Just nonspecific symptoms that can arise with any illness and that exist independently in the uncertain atmosphere we’re in now. It looks like Lancet Psychiatry missed spurious relationship day in freshmen stats class.
Much like the opposition to HCQ that got quietly withdrawn, it has nothing to do with medicine and everything to do with politics.
Absolutely, when people that know better dish up a shit sandwich like that it’s on purpose.
I like how anxiety and depression are “brain disease”.
“I need to you to do your job….” “But I have anxiety brain disease, you must accommodate!”
At this point, everyone is holding their breath for monthly stipends from Daddy Joe while they all suffer from brain disease.
Haha. Anxiety and depression run pretty heavily in my family, and I have to say never once has any of my relatives called it “brain disease”.
The article title makes it sounds as if covid attacks your brain. Jesus. This media is such bullshit.
I watch XX on her meds and I compare/contrast myself at her age through my thirties versus now when I’m taking meds for depression and anxiety, and I wonder how I ever got through it continuously employed. When I was in my twenties I had an added (womanly) complication that led to severe chronic anemia.
It’s a fucking miracle or sheer dint of will or the need to survive, I don’t know which.
Happens to guys too. We often take more drastic measures to solve the problem. Not to denigrate your personal woes in any way, shape or form, Mojo :-).
No, I didn’t say that as a tale of woe. I was actually just marveling at what I managed to do under those circumstances.
My comment wasn’t to say it isn’t real cause I know it is.
If you’re replying to me, I didn’t mean to say it should be excused or considered disability or part of ADA or anything like that. I get frustrated with XX because she really can’t get through a day of school/work without her meds, but I did it so why can’t she? Then again, I figure she’s fortunate to have the meds. Heaven knows what I could have achieved if I’d had them all this time.
General clarification. Yes advancements in medicine have done wonders but what kids today are experiencing is no different than what we did or our parents did – its just different stressors. I get anxiety but its more of the stay up all night don’t sleep anxiety and not crushing like I have seen in friends.
I *hate* how every little flaw is now a “disease”.
Related to government actions regarding the virus perhaps. But a direct relation to and caused by the virus? Bull. Shit.
But I suppose convid is like climate change, there is nothing it can’t do.
Senator Hooker Boots seems more apropos.
You’re thinking of the one from Arizona, I suspect. Gillibrand is from New York. She dresses (and speaks) like a sorority girl.
Moar hooker boots!
Noise cancelling headphones, a dark room and her and AOC would be fun.
She’s even better looking in person. So far, she’s been not-terrible. An improvement on McCain, I would say.
I know, she didn’t take McCain’s seat, the gun-grabbing grifter who used to be an astronaut and used his wife, who took a round to the head, as a stepstool to power is.
At this point, I will take any principled senator/representative, even if their views are not in alignment with mine to help my sanity.
SILF
Sorry. My bad. Whores look all the same to me.
The most common diagnosis was anxiety, found in 17% of those treated for Covid-19, followed by mood disorders, found in 14% of patients.
Nothing to do with the nonstop “We’re all gonna die!” doomsday porn. Just a completely unrelated side effect of the plague itself.
Kinda wanna know how they test a woman for a mood disorder.
I believe, like the answer to the universe, it is 42.

What’s up with this trend of women essentially shoving their yoga pants in to their asses? It’s not really that hot. Normal yoga pants wearing is far superior.

That was fast! It was in stock when I posted the link.

Well that didn’t work. Please ignore.
The monthly VRE forum is today. The riders are mostly entitled government employees. Ridership is down about 90% so VRE cut back to running about half the trains.
The normal target is for fares to cover about 50% of operating expenses. Since government employees get a $270 subsidy, only the few that ride really long distances actually pay anything out of pocket. So, of course, they want the convenience of full service regardless of the cost to others. Even back when there was full service, they constantly asked for changes to the train schedules for their convenience.
