No nukes were used yesterday. That’s good-ish news.

“Musk May Close Twitter Deal by Friday”
Plus the NYS vaccine case.
I’m a little bit retarded, but the NYS vaccine case, does that ruling only apply to public employees? Or private as well? I’m not in NY, but I also live in a liberal shit hole state where I would have made them fire me if they pushed the issue (company is HQed in NY too).
I believe it only applies to the 16 workers in the suit, but I haven’t been following it that closely.
And I just read the private one was “rescinded”. Not that I was aware or would have ever complied.
And… since the NY Supreme Court is a trial court, the city can easily appeal.
The highest court in NY is the Court of Appeals.
“Musk May Close Twitter” would have been even better.
The best conspiracy theory you’ll hear today
Alex Berenson
Hmm, not super conspiracy-y. This is a global health emergency after all!
Back when I was studying economics and marketing, we simply called that “pricing theory.”
Raise the price until your most unappealing potential customers simply balked and walked away.
Full disclosure: when I worked for a telco, we used the same strategy to get rid of deadbeats and send them to the competition.
“But their appeal contradicted the Biden administration’s position that it’s up to the Ukrainian people to decide whether Kyiv should engage in negotiations with Moscow.
After Democrats and the White House criticized the proposed change in policy, Jayapal issued another statement Monday “reaffirming support for Ukraine and clarifying the position” laid out in the letter to Biden.”
One think you can say about Carter was that he was all for making peace deals.
That’s a laughable assertion.
Although it should up to the Ukrainian people.
Of course, none of this shit would be happening if Obama didn’t remove their pro-Russia government.
It would have been over in April if it weren’t for our little bitch Boris scuttling the negotiations.
It would have been over by March if Russia didn’t invade in the first place.
Yes, yes, all that matters is how bad the Russians are. Don’t take any off-ramps from the war because the Russians might benefit.
Don’t the Russians also get a vote? By Russians, of course I mean, the Russian government.
Nobody gives a crap what the Russian or Ukrainian people want, of course.
Only 25 days of Diesel? There’s 9 Fast & Furious alone.

SJWednesday: 20,000 Tasty Faces
Depends on the size of the animals. An entire steer has one face. How many are in those Goya 1lb. cans of sardines that used to sell for a $1?
Well, not in, they cut the heads off.
Good point, by eating beef, I’m minimizing the number of faces.
Silly vegetarian doesn’t believe the death of animal life is an immutable characteristic of humanity’s continued existence regardless one’s dietary choices. It’s just those icky meat eaters. Shocking.
Growing vegetables kills animals too.
Exactly. I know the vegetarians/vegans here aren’t delusional enough to believe otherwise but apparently a lot of people still do.
Those big ass diesel tractors in Iowa/Kansas gonna have to learn how to run on methane, if you want to be vegetarian
I think he would be appalled at me when he started showing me those animal pics and I started drooling when he showed a cow. I don’t like chickens, so I would simply frown when their beady-eyed faces were shown.
“Murkowski is one of the more moderate Republican senators, siding with Democrats in voting to back Obamacare and opposing Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.”
I wouldn’t call believing ridiculous rape stories “moderate”.

I wouldn’t call her a Republican, either.
After she survived the last race by winning as a write-in, is there any chance she’ll lose this time?
If she does lose, will that count as a +1 in the GOP column?

Doctors are taking aim at the fossil fuels industry, placing blame for the world’s most dire health problems on the companies that continue to seek oil and gas profits even as climate change worsens heat waves, intensifies flooding and roils people’s mental health.
“The burning of fossil fuels is creating a health crisis that I can’t fix by the time I see patients in my emergency department,” said Dr. Renee Salas, summarizing the findings of a report published Tuesday in The Lancet. “Fossil fuel companies are making record profits while my patients suffer from their downstream health harms.”
Salas, an emergency medical physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is one of nearly 100 authors who contributed to the prestigious medical journal’s annual report on climate change and health.
The report accuses fossil fuel purveyors — and the governments that subsidize them — of subverting “efforts to deliver a low carbon, healthy, liveable future” and demands that world leaders pursue a health-centered approach to solving the climate crisis.
Fucking retards.
The medical industrial complex’s profits are all completely legitimate and justifiable, and their business practices are strictly on the up-and-up.
Lies, demonstrably proven false over and over again.
Fucking r-tards, indeed. Dr. Renee Salas hates you and wants you to die.
Doctors are remarkably immune from their lousy job performances and retarded opinions.
Ask her to point to a single piece of her equipment that isn’t derived from some type of oil.
“The burning of fossil fuels is creating a health crisis that I can’t fix by the time I see patients in my emergency department,”
I long for the good old days when people died naturally from starvation, exposure, and disease as God intended. How dare those fossil fuels purveyors upset the natural order!
“Kraft Heinz CEO Says More ‘Rounds of Price Increases’ Coming as Inflation ‘Will Continue’”
I think the only Heinz thing I buy is their worcestershire sauce. I gave up on Lea & Perrins after they changed the U.S. recipe.
Is the Heinz one better? I got “used” to the Lea & Perrins but I’ll switch with no problem.
Heinz is way better than the store brand I tried. I think it’s better than the new L&P, but not as good as the old one, although that’s based on memory.
Look, John Kerry needs a new yacht (with sails because he cares about the environment)! Get out there and buy Heinz!
with sails
And a 250 HP engine with a 500 gallon tank.
What, you think he’s gonna just sit becalmed like some plebe when the wind stops blowing?
I thought he’d just call the Coast Guard and have them tow him around.
If his sails aren’t wool or cotton, then they made of oil as well.
Dems are worried lower black voter turnout will ‘eviscerate’ their path to victory this November
It would be delicious if minority turnout were high and Democrats lost (see: Georgia). The explosion of leftist heads would sound like like a steamroller crushing bubblewrap.
If I were black I would vote Stupid Party just to punish the Dems for taking me for granted for the last 75 years or so.
But then you’d lose your social security and be in chains!
I think “low minority turnout” is going to be how they spin the fact that the blacks are getting uppity.

Chessle in 4 after having the final position in two. Move orders in closed openings are irrelevant, that position can be reached in double-digit ways, all of which are reasonable.
From turn 1 and 2, I knew c4 had to be 2nd move. So that made the horsey order mandatory, as Nc3 had to come after the pawn move.
My seed turn is the stupid e4-e5-d4-d5-c4-c5-Nf3-Nf6-Nc3-Nc6
It generally gives me the family of openings. Or hits so little I am completely stumped.

Less than 25 days’ supply of diesel? Good. I hate diesel engines.
Diesel was back to $5.99/gal this morning.
While I don’t understand why a commuter choses a diesel for daily transportation, they certainly have a place in getting goods to places by either truck or train. This will just become one more cost factor in rising inflation.
We’ve been transitioning our fleet back to gas powered trucks.
Prediction: There will be more than 25 days supply of diesel as sellers will find more. Prices will also continue to rise.

Seriously, woman? You don’t know why people regard not getting stabbed, robbed, or beaten as important?
WDATPDIM?
I would like to answer your question, but I have no idea what you asked.
What Difference At This Point Does It Make?
If I am stabbed in the back and pushed onto a subway track to die, I want the world to burn.
I would prefer that the subway train stop short of hitting me and that I receive proper medical attention to recover fully.
But you do you.
That was not an option in the hypothetical I described.
She is jaw-droppingly awful at this game. I shudder to think she might actually win.
She has a “D” after her name, in NY that’s all that’s necessary for victory, especially since the Ds control the big urban population centers they can use to “fortify” the election.
We are going to find out if the same can be said about AZ in a few days. The Dem candidate for governor is also just terrible at campaigning, AZ is also deep red outside of its urban centers, and the big urban center, at least, is what puts any statewide Dems in office. Naturally, it has terrible election security.
Phoenix ain’t no NYC.
But that this race is competitive at all speaks to me.

Those are just crimes, not crime-crimes.

I’m torn about this. On the one hand I think the State Department is basically corrupt and run by more than a few people who are evil. OTH, it does show exactly what China thinks about the US of A.
How China Abuses U.S. Diplomats
Arrest all of the CCP “Diplomats” and revoke recognition of the Maoist rebels in Beijing.
Trading industrial secrets for access to China’s consumers is evidently worth the humiliation. What are you gonna do.
The report’s theme reflects a growing frustration and helplessness expressed by medical professionals left to deal with the impacts of climate change as world leaders struggle to address the root cause.
“The report highlights the harm the fossil fuel industry has really wreaked in creating this crisis,” said Dr. Jerry Abraham, the director and chief vaccinologist at Kedren Community Health Center in Los Angeles, who was not involved in writing the report. “Foe is a harsh word, but it has to be used.”
The “fossil fuel industry” exists for the sole purpose of filling the air with toxins.
Just as we all learned as kids from Captain Planet, all environmental issues are due to evil people with terrible punny names doing evil. There is no benefit to them at all.

I switched shaving soaps this morning.
I’m not grooving on it. 😒
What prompted the switch?
I’ve used it many years ago and liked it.

Haven’t used soap or shaving cream in years. I shave in the shower using a gel body wash.
This is what I use.

I’m currently using this, which I received as a gift. It’s pretty good. The scent is mild and pleasant, gives the skin a nice refreshing little tingle. But plain old glycerin soap works better than anything I’ve ever used in terms of lubrication.
Yeah, glycerin soap > other solid soap > anything not solid
Castor oil
Not recommended for use with your standard Gillette razors.
I’ve been using Proraso Shaving Cream in the green tube for a few years. I also started using the aftershave. Lightly scented and goes a long way.
You know what else is lightly scented and goes a long way?

One unfortunate consequence of my quasi-pathological levels of testosterone is a continuing tendency toward face and body acne, even into my 40s. If I don’t use benzoyl peroxide face and body wash, I’ll break out like a teenager. Fortunately, I have found a non-comedogenic shaving cream that keeps the baddies at bay too.
“If I don’t use benzoyl peroxide face and body wash, I’ll break out like a teenager.”
Try a mix of zepharin and vodka.
Try Differin, OTC.
Take a couple Vitamin A supplement pills daily. Works great for me.
I picked up a leave in beard conditioner a couple weeks back… I am not a fan. Back to something that gets rinsed out.
The chemicals do not stay on, especially around the face.
I really like The Conditioner from Paul Mitchell; both as a shaving adjunct in the shower, and in its proper role as a leave in product. YMMV.
I stopped using anything but hot water based on advice from someone on this site several years ago. It takes about a week, but something changes with the texture of the whiskers in that time and you really don’t need anything other than water.
Do you even libertarian (Mises flavor)?
Not sure if you’re joking, but he’s absolutely right. I read this a couple of years ago and actually did switch to just using hot water. It hurts for the first couple of weeks, but now I have no problems. My skin is far less prone to rashes or getting nicks ever since.
Diesel was back to $5.99/gal this morning.
Remember the ’70s, when diesel was touted as a cheap alternative to gasoline? I do.
Haha, suckers!
What I never understood was why I could easily find diesel stations to fill up my Chevy Luv truck in Minnesoda where the cold can make it a bitch, but had all sorts of problems finding diesel stations in Memphis.

I toss the slivers of my no-perfume Olay for sensitive skin in my shaving mug. Works quite nicely.
I already reordered a tub of Proraso.
Right on. Green or Red?
Green.
Do you think the formula changed? My latest tube was a bit more watery, but the scent was the same.
Dunno. Haven’t ordered any in quite while.

“McConnell creates new rift inside GOP, earning censure from Alaska state party”
So the Republicans are spending millions to prevent a republican from getting elected? I guess they agree with the Democrats, the greatest threat to democracy is letting Republicans win elections.
‘Four years ago, Abrams garnered between 93 and 94 percent of the Black vote, according to exit polls and AP VoteCast. Across five polls over the past month, Abrams averages 83 percent support…’
Even with the drop of 10 percentage points, that’s a crazy high level of racial uniformity. I wonder what people would say if other groups voted so consistently in one direction.
As long as the direction is D the media won’t see a problem.

Every inpatient bed at Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago has been full for more than six weeks. Emergency room volume is up more than 150%.
The flow of patients is like “a treadmill that never ends,” said Dr. Allison Bartlett, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at Comer Children’s. As soon as a child is discharged, their bed fills up with the next kid in need.
Yet the hospital is simultaneously fielding a barrage of requests to accept new patients from facilities that don’t treat children or are overrun themselves.
“It’s scary. It makes me worry about my kids getting in a car accident and not having a place to go,” Bartlett said.
Let’s obsess about every conceivable danger.
A terrified populace is easily led.
It’s because they closed schools.
Certificate Of Need – and self-imposed staff shortages – strikes again. And being in Chicago what with all the gunshot victims, aka the Kim Foxx Trickle Down Effect.
Also wouldn’t surprise me that ADE and VAE have something to do with it.
When folks freak out about ICU beds I always like to bring up Certificates of Need.
I either get blank stares or they quickly change the subject.
I’m guessing they didn’t bother to ask if this happens every year.
It’s certainly been happening off and on since the first COVID outbreak. Including the time after COVID became a nonfactor for hospitals.
We got slammed with RSI every October, but this year seems especially bad.
Odd. I’ve been to the local ER twice this month, the place is empty. Something in the NJ air must be conferring immunity to the plagues which are devastating the rest of the country.

I thought the same thing when we had Gov. Mumbles (Mark Dayton) in office. Any video of him was terrible. When he debated opponents, he would lurch through answers like a drunk. Then the next day you’d read the writeup in the paper and they had removed all the ‘ers..’ and ‘ums…’ and all the random asides and his answers looked human.
If more people had watched the debates, he would have been sunk. Instead most people just saw the writeups and didn’t realize what an idiot Mumbles was.
Whatever happened to him? Did he die?
I’m sure he’s in his huge mansion surrounded by his most loyal servants.
I watched some of the end of it. I haven’t had a good laugh in awhile, so when Fetterman was asked Eagles or Steelers (the softest of softball questions) and took another 10 seconds to respond, I cackled maniacally.
Imma go with “shit that never happened for $400”.

Because of this fall surge of respiratory viruses among children, around three-quarters of pediatric hospital beds nationwide are now full, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.
That is forcing hospitals around the country to resort to the contingency plans reserved for such crises: They are sending sick kids to other states to receive care or are making space in other wards, like specialty units or postoperative recovery areas. Some hospitals are sending ICU patients directly home once their cases are no longer acute, rather than to another floor. And many on-call nurses are working extra hours.
Wait- they are discharging patients who no longer need hospitalization?
Oh

Doctors said masking and social distancing likely prevented kids from getting exposed to respiratory viruses earlier in the pandemic. Then kids began to encounter new pathogens for the first time, with little immune protection.
So- masks forever, then; preferably with an external supply of sterile oxygen.

According to the Energy Information Administration, the US has only 25 days of diesel supply, the lowest level since 2008. Simultaneously, the four-week average of distillates supplied increased to its highest seasonal level since 2007.

According to local D campaign messaging the only thing that matters is getting an abortion after you are raped.
Yeah, they couldn’t care less about the rape.

Let’s not exaggerate here. They also care about getting an abortion for incest victims too.
What I never get are the crazies who say that a limit of 16 weeks or so without exceptions for rape and incest is totes unacceptable. You’ve had 16 weeks to figure this shit out, why would rape and incest victims need an exception? Maybe if it was a six week limit I could see some merit to the exception, but by 16 weeks you know you are knocked up.
They are all out there claiming that every GOP candidate wants to ban literally all abortions.
I don’t think that is accurate, myself.
I am probably in the minority here. I recognize the taboo of incest but if it isn’t rape incest then I’m less concerned. It takes generations of incest for inbreeding to reinforce genetic errors.
Maybe but looking at the crop of politicians has me wondering

I knew that name sounded familiar for some reason other than the obvious historical figure. He and Eminem exchanged two of the lamest diss tracks in the history of rap a few years ago.
He looks like I’d catch something unpleasant if I got too close. Ick.
LOL
gross
I work in manufacturing, specifically welding I-beams for structural projects. My company is having a great year, and we all just got bonuses, so I’m wondering if the lowered demand for manufacturing is ahead, and that’s something I’ll start to see in the coming weeks.
I got a 2% raise.

Allow me to square that circle.
Georgia saw record early voting turnout for this year’s midterms.
Karine Jean-Pierre said blacks are still being suppressed but she couldn’t name any voter suppression in Georgia.
“Of course, high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time. They don’t have to be – one doesn’t have to happen on its own,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t say if Joe Biden was wrong to compare Georgia voting law to “Jim Crow.”
Help help! I’m being suppressed!
Movers. Shakers. String-pullers.
The relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia is at its lowest point in decades. But that hasn’t stopped Wall Street executives and some of the world’s wealthiest investors from gathering in Riyadh for a conference that’s nicknamed “Davos in the Desert.”
On Tuesday, Jamie Dimon and David Solomon, the CEOs of J.P. Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, respectively, shared a stage with billionaires Stephen Schwarzman, of The Blackstone Group, and Ray Dalio, who founded the world’s largest hedge fund.
Former President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also appeared at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference, and former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is scheduled to speak on Wednesday. Both Kushner and Mnuchin now run private equity funds backed by Saudi Arabia.
But no cabinet officials or senior staff from the Biden administration are there, because the White House is currently reevaluating its partnership with Saudi Arabia.
That’ll teach ’em. Joe has principles.

I wonder what sets it off so that particular comments keep making it error
It wouldn’t work with the link in plain text, but I enclosed it in a-tags and it worked. Huh.
Except it didn’t. There’s a lack of sucrose in that link.
In my experience what sets it off is the amount of care you put into a response and whether you forgot to Control-C it before hitting Post.
C’mon, UCS. We all know exactly what is causing it
Lets try something different:
Lets brew Wednesday
I had a comment about it, but fuck wordpress, yall dont get it.
it was probably mediocre anyway
Not gonna change that up now.

Caligula was a Roman(Ian)?
That seems to be an explicit admission that senators are supposed to vote the way their party tells them to and do nothing else.
Sirota, as usual, proves himself a useless twat.
And that’s a stunning endorsement of DEMOCRACY
…I always voted at my party’s call
And I never thought of thinking for myself at all.
I thought so little they rewarded me
By making me the ruler of the Queen’s Navy.

It’s easy – “Should David Sirota be imprisoned for life or not? Yes or no?”
A compelling point in support:
Recovering from a health event would be his foot is in a cast. The guy is a brain damaged loon. So is Sirota.

North Korea warned of ‘unparalleled’ response from US, Japan, South Korea if it launches a 7th nuclear test
“Or else, we will be very, very angry with you, and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are.” ― Hans Blix
President Biden, who has raised concern over the country’s human rights record, is upset Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pushed for deep cuts to oil production earlier this month, which has led to higher energy prices.
At the same time, Saudi Arabia has a $600 billion government investment fund, and the country is telegraphing its ambitions beyond traditional energy.
There are panels at the conference on artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, tourism and hospitality, and investing. Other speakers include Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, and Ben Horowitz, one of the world’s best-known venture capitalists.
The Saudis use oil production as leverage (or a weapon)?
And they want to diversify their econom.? Haven’t we heard that before?
*Shrugs* We just “diversified” our economy away from oil production, why can’t they?
And they want to diversify their econom – well they are building that dystopian linear city thing
I continue to chuckle at English press dealing with gendered languages.
Italy’s first female prime minister will use the masculine form of her title
OFFS. 🙄
her pronoun is Duce
Sorta related to what might be her reasons – my oldest daughter (19) is a firefighter in a neighboring county. Fairly small-framed but fit and strong enough to pass all the strength and endurance requirements in training (only female that made it through in her class), but otherwise very classically feminine.
Anyway, she always makes sure to say she’s a “fireman”, just to tweak anybody who’s sensitive enough to be bothered by it.
The folks that aren’t super-sensitive generally immediately get what she’s doing and play along.
That seems to be an explicit admission that senators are supposed to vote the way their party tells them to and do nothing else.
And raise money for the Inner Party. That’s their most important job of all.
it literally took the US less time to put a man on the moon in the 1960’s than it does to build protected bus/bike lanes in the year 2022
what are we even doing here
https://twitter.com/sam_d_1995/status/1584990467716190208
I blame extreme libertarianism myself
Of the two, I’d rather be sending people to the moon than building bike lanes.
I enjoyed that this morning, thanks!
Conveniently leaves out the ridiculous EPA regulations and union work slowages.
How dare people who live on the route voice their opinion. The small percentage that ride bikes should make the decisions. They pay taxes too, which by the way, I demand the right to drag race the flight strip. My taxes paid for the airport.
So called protected bike/bus lanes are dangerous, unnecessary, and a waste of money. Retards run city planning departments these days.
I’d like living in a bike-able city/town. That place is not Seattle, or any existing city for that matter.
Pretty much every college town is bikeable. Or used to be.
It’s also not any city that gets regular snow and ice, unless you want multiple bikes and kit.
I would also rather bike on a road with a turn lane and two lanes going in either direction, then the new style of bike lane, one lane in each direction, and then a divider in the center.
I am sometimes surprised how few people die biking in Amsterdam since they are all maniacs and no one believes in helmets and such,
or maybe there is a libertarian lesson there about spontaneous organization and such
This is almost a Ray of Sunshine …. Minnesoda suburb withdraws support for a new bus line
Now if only they’d admit that the new light rail line they are trying to build is a total waste of money and just stop.

The Chinese government has been accused of establishing at least two undeclared “police stations” in the Netherlands.
Dutch media found evidence that the “overseas service stations”, which promise to provide diplomatic services, are being used to try to silence Chinese dissidents in Europe.
A spokeswoman for the Dutch foreign ministry said the existence of the unofficial police outposts was illegal.

just found out about Kiuchi Nobuo, a Japanese POW captured by the Soviets in Manchuria in 1945, and his *insanely horny* drawings of female Soviet officers at his internment camp in Ukraine
there’s a lot of good stuff here honestly – lots of humanizing anecdotes from the aftermath of the war. very very nice find

It’s great. I can’t seem to see all the pictures on his original site. May have to boot up the PC.
Really cool.
Thanks, Pie!
Thanks!
moon blindness?
Interesting to think about Japanese POWs in Soviet camps.
POW knocking up a local girl. That’s unexpected.
Some Ukrainians must have had some surprising ancestry DNA tests.

On Tuesday, the New York Supreme Court ruled that New York City must reinstate all employees that were fired because of their vaccination status.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who caused a stir this summer by questioning the quality of his party’s candidates, has created a new rift inside the GOP by spending millions to defeat Alaska GOP Senate nominee Kelly Tshibaka.
McConnell’s leadership PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, has been running attack ads against Tshibaka in an effort to boost moderate incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
The Alaska Republican Party responded Monday by voting to censure McConnell for spreading “divisive and misleading statements” about Tshibaka, who was endorsed both by the state party and former President Donald Trump.
The money for Murkowski was going to support Don Buldoc in NH.
Stacey Abrams campaign has been holding policy meetings with black men under the title “Stacey and the Fellahs” but despite those efforts as of six weeks ago she was falling behind the level of support from black voters that she had during her previous run in 2018.
She might lose her re-election campaign?
Waste money on a race your party is sure to win, that’s some genius strategery.

Broad day light.

It’s clear the solution is to only allow employees to pump air in addition to gas.
Is it really a “carjacking” if no firearm was involved?
IMO, absolutely.
Yes.
I got car-jacked once.
Luckily I didnt get any on the seat.

I’m always a little leery about using those, especially since they’re next to the kinds of places that get robbed all the time.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: @CaptMarkKelly Paid Staffer Reveals Campaign’s Deceptive Strategy to Win Over Independents & Moderate Republicans
“Say Mark Kelly is pro-life but…absolutely he is not pro-life.”
“He [Mark Kelly] has to play both sides.”
This is fine.
A Government laboratory in Maryland plans to make the circulating monkeypox strain more lethal in highly controversial research in mice.
The team wants to equip the dominant clade – which mostly causes a rash and flu-like symptoms – with genes from another strain that causes severe disease.
They hope the experiment will reveal how different genes make monkeypox more deadly, and spur the development of better drugs and vaccines for humans.
This has to stop. The only reason to do these experiments is to weaponize the bugs. This bullshit about “understanding it so we can fight it” is insane and a flat out lie.
I have no problem with drone strikes on each and every one of these labs.
Gain-of-function research = creating a bio-weapon.

Just as long as they test it in the faculty lounge.
