The last storms have been eventful- WebDom managed to wreck on the ice, as did several large trucks. Today will be warmer, wetter, and muddier, so I can skid on that instead. But have no fear- it will be back down to 1 degree in another day or so, so we can go back to real ice slides instead of the brown stuff.
Birthdays today include Warty’s spirit animal; the opera dude who invented the cherry; the guy who looked at Woodrow Wilson and said, “Hold my Margaux,”; a guy with a tragic childhood who then basically invented modern drumming; a guy who was just born to be a villain; a writer who went rogue; a guy who embraced typecasting and rode it well; a mediocrity who rode it to great fame and fortune; some guy who played for Mayall; the best hair in the music biz; and a talented guy who is a sure-fire guarantee of pedestrian music.

Reid was a disaster for the Dems. Blowing up the judicial filibuster lead to our current Supreme Court. Any Democrat who knows recent history (probably an oxymoron) should curse him.
Democrats don’t study history – all progressives know that the past was awful and only the future, their future, can be glorious. Study history? That’s almost as silly as seeing if results match intentions in policy-making.
They don’t even remember what happened 3 months ago when we were told breakthrough cases are rare so shut up and get boosted.
It’s amazing how the definition of “typecasting” has basically reversed.
Originally it meant casting someone who IRL was the character role instead of a professional actor.

Heidi Fleiss is HE’s neighbor?
At least we know she didn’t shoot her parrot. The bird didn’t disintegrate.
Sounds like it’s about to become “was”.
Maybe she’ll end up being Mojeaux’s neighbor.
Heidi can review Moj’s sex scenes for technical accuracy.
So many plot points!

Ron Jeremy has not aged well at all.
women… suck the life out of you
It worked out better for Hef.
Although he was a jerk. Not putting the only golddigger wiling to fuck him at the end of his life into his will was pretty classless.
He blew Sammy Davis Jr. In his own movie theater.
Ron Jeremy is dead? I thought he is alive and facing trial for sex crimes.
I thought they were just hired to pretend… I mean, she played as if she really had a thing for her Puffin… But come on.. Dude has been around enough to know the difference.

Mizrahi, akshully.
We get about 20 cases of bagels per week delivered here, so no need to leave Happy Valley for the Big City.
and here I thought you were going to say you bake your own. disappointed
Mizrahi – so POC
I thought bagels were boiled, not baked.
boiled, baked fried whatever
Sweet! That means you’re related to Jesus!
Boiled, then baked, if you make them properly. We would make our own, but we just don’t have bakery facilities or room for them. Our kitchen is about the size of the inside of a food truck.
I’m confused. Are we talking about Jesus or bagels being boiled and baked?
I used to work with an ex-con that made bagels by hand.

Police said the suspected gang left the station in unknown directions, and have released surveillance photos from the scene in an effort to identify anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or any of the alleged assailants.
The subway station, located on 188th Street, falls under the 46th Precinct, which has seen 34 felonious assaults in the past 28 days, according to city data.

Setting someone on fire and running away? Just kill yourself you sorry excuses for human beings.
The guy that was lit up looked like he was a little burnt up but didnt look like he would later die in the hospital. Has to be more to the story.
Gah! Friend of Judi was trying to thaw his generator on Friday. Set a taiger torch next to it with the expected result. The poor fuck has 1st and 2nd degree burns over most of his arms and face. He grabbed the torch before the barn went up and found himself on fire. Dove into a snowbank so the thing didn’t explode. He had just proposed to his beau that very day.
That’s awful. Hope its ok for him.
That must be the link that doesn’t open for me without using the thing the VPN thing which I am not using.
Looked into it, he died of an infection 48 days later. Often how burn victims die.
Also, flames around his head like that means burned lungs. Really hard to survive that.
Anyone else reading stories about “the great divorce” from the perspective of the left?
I sort of feel that this is an excuse for a false flag event to ratchet down on liberties.
TBH, I’ve only been reading them from the Right.
Which is why I asked, all of a sudden, at least 3 that I can think off.
Most of what I can glean from the Left is basically “How Dare You?” How dare you, indeed.

That’s my take. Battlespace prep for a coup of some kind if the Repubs take the White House. Building on the “muh insurrection” narrative.

Morning, Glibs.
Have some words
Are you starting 2022 in an optimistic mood? You might take solace in the argument that it’s hard to have a real civil war without a real cause — a great question that will be resolved by the outcome. Trump’s moment in national life will die out because he always has lots to say but no longer has anything meaningful to say.
Or perhaps recent years have steered you toward escalating pessimism. Perhaps the squalor of modern politics flows from ancient truths of human nature. People are easily manipulated with appeals to prejudice and paranoia, never more so than when technology has led to massive growth in the industry of commercialized contempt. A country that can have a civil war with no one really knowing what the conflict is about is one in which the muscles of governance are pitifully atrophied.
Scratch that chin. Scratch it good.
I doubt that John Harris has the whiskers to scratch.
Shorter Politico: There would be no conflict if you stupid people would just do what we tell you!
More good news about vaccines.

Death by internal haemorrhaging is horrific, but there’s nothing there that suggests it has anything to do with the mRNA shot. It might, but what is presented seems fairly useless to my layman’s interpretation. The bigger question is why these experimental therapeutics are being given en masse to a population that wasn’t at risk from the disease in the first place, but we understand the incentives there.

How’s your arm feeling, UCS? A little sore?
No, my arm is actually pretty good. My hands still have a few lingering hurts, but in the so mild it’s not a bother range.
Mine still is. It’s been nearly a month since my second dose of their poison. Even dumber than ever since.

Funny you should ask.
For most of my reporting career, to refer to some dispute or another — over a judicial nomination, perhaps, or an uproar over a proposed shopping mall near a battlefield — as “a new Civil War” was to reach for a metaphor.
On the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, we mark the evolution of journalistic cliche: Serious people now invoke “Civil War” not as metaphor but as literal precedent.
The Trump years, which it is now evident did not end with his presidency, have awakened a conflict so profound that, as in the 1860s, democracy, constitutional order and union itself are in peril.
A big deal, indeed. But also a puzzle: If this is a 21st century version of 19th century disunion, shouldn’t it be more obvious what the war, at bottom, is all about?
The Jan. 6 anniversary is a reminder that the chaos of the Trump years in one important respect — and perhaps only in one — is a historical anomaly. The country many times over has witnessed dissent and disruption far more violent than anything seen in recent years. But earlier episodes featured profound ideological and moral questions — easily visible to the naked eye, in the present and to historians afterward — that lay at the heart of the matter.
The real Civil War was about slavery — at the start, to restrict its territorial expansion, by war’s end to eliminate it entirely. Capitalists opposed to the New Deal knew why they loathed FDR — he was fundamentally shifting the balance of power between public and private sectors — and FDR knew, too: “They are unanimous in their hate for me, and I welcome their hatred.” The unrest of the 1960s was about ending segregation and stopping the Vietnam War.
Only in recent years have we seen foundation-shaking political conflict — both sides believing the other would turn the United States into something unrecognizable — with no obvious and easily summarized root cause. What is the fundamental question that hangs in the balance between the people who hate Trump and what he stands for and the people who love Trump and hate those who hate him? This is less an ideological conflict than a psychological one.
Religious sectarianism.
*Were the Trump years meaningfully “chaotic”? I just remember a lot of inchoate shrieking from Team Poor Loser.
I think a lot of the northern soldiers fought for union, the didn’t care about slavery.
They can’t even hear themselves. Nobody liked Trump but he was better than them. Gropy Joe has been a disaster and they just can’t let the fear go.
Not many of us really liked Trump but he did have a core cult of personality followers, as most presidents have. What’s more concerning to me though is how the left and some middle of the road Republicans threw their claimed principles into the garbage to get him and the people that don’t condemn him, which includes most of us by the way. It’s a mass psychosis.
their claimed principles
bwahahahahahaha
between the people who hate Trump and what he stands for
I’ve noticed the long expected shift from Trump to the population of non-progs has been ramping up of late. The “what he stands for” is interpreted by the Left as everything to the right of Mao.
If you don’t say he’s the worst ever you’re one of them. On the plus side, the camps we end up in will have diversity of opinion: everyone from Pat Buchanan and Jeff Deist to Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald will be there.
Some people still can’t seem to grasp the idea that Trump’s presidency was a result of a growing distrust and disgust for media and the people who control our institutions and government itself, he wasn’t the cause.
He was a symptom of a very bad disease.
he wasn’t the cause.
Make it go away. /whining fucking pissant progs

I think a lot of the northern soldiers fought for union, the didn’t care about slavery.
Whaaaa? They were, to a man, fire breathing Abolitionists, moved only by their righteous hatred of slavery.
…moved only by their righteous hatred of slavery.
And their desire to live in harmony with their black brothers.
Right; it’s like anything else: a single-cell cartoon stands avatar for a complex situation with roots that are as old as humanity, but let’s sum it up on a bumper sticker.
My only beef with the revisionish: SLAVERY WAS LEGAL11!1!! Just like constitutional carry is redundant, so was constitutional slavery. How can they promote unpersoning GW01 because he was a slaveholder without acknowledging that such was perfectly legal….they’re the same people, can they not hear themselves? Slaveholders weren’t fringe elements. Weirder still: the CSA basically re-codified the Constitution (they seceded because they feared a change that would destroy slavery).
So how do you federally outlaw slavery, then? Well, you don’t hafta burn down ATL to create and pass the 13A (or maybe that does help, but, if so argued, that would tacitly posit that the war was a partisan (even if humane) affair. Oh, I know: let’s wade through two years of military disaster to even dictate a military prohibition . . . hundreds of thousands are dying because reasons and we can’t be bothered to announce them (it)?
THEN…….these great humanitarians and the central government and shiny military they had build went on to murder hundreds of thousand of people over the next 35 years. Take that, CSA: that’s how you humanitarian.
From that WMD-class bait and switch, how you can infer that the civil war was anything other than a classic struggle over the meaning and consequences of federalism?
I was of course alluding to the significant Northern belief in repatriating blacks to Africa pre and post war. There were damn few that had any desire to treat former slaves as full citizens and equals. Gradually, the latter school of thought grew – but it was anything but dominant even up to the end of the war. And of course there were the Copperheads who were willing to allow the Confederacy to dissociate from the Union, neatly solving all problems.
But yeah, that’s all too complex for simple Manichean minds.
oh, that was certainly clear; we seldom disagree
I was just laughing at the non-Glib norms
No need to go to NYC for bagels, there is a local joint here with outstanding bagels. On the wall of this establishment is a photo of the owner with the Hedgehog. Coincidence?

Ice must have gotten jealous of all the attention I’ve been paying to fire, because ice just tried to kill me.
Apparently freezing rain rolled in overnight and left this perfect layer of invisible glaze ice on everything. Just enough that it looked wet rather than icy but had zero traction. This included my bottom step.
It has been years since I slipped on ice and fell completely horizontal. Fortunately, I twisted to the side so that my head did not come into contact with my concrete steps. That would have ended badly. I guess I’m not going to the grocery store. At least I’m not going to the hospital either.
I did that about 10 years ago. Took me out for the day and had me hurting for a week.
Feel better.
I did go out and salt the ice, especially the steps. But it’s still raining.
Right now my toe is complaining, but the rest of me doesn’t feel to bad. Don’t think I broke anything.
UCS/Sensei, it only takes a slip and fall to do lasting harm. Be extra careful out there. It’s climate change.
My doc told me “Your life will never be the same, don’t fall down”

The secret is to never stop walking like you are on ice. It is all ice. Start waddling!
Two weeks to flatten the ice
At least two mistakes with that. Walking too fast and some had hands in their pockets. We need our hands to help with the balance and maybe catch some of the fall.
Having a fat ass is not going to protect you.

Warm snow can be slick as hell too.

Be Prepared. I was on an aircraft carrier once where hands in pockets = gimme twenty.
What if it’s just one hand?
I’ve eaten my driveway enough to realize that I’ll have to retire somewhere else, or I’ll die here suddenly.
There are plenty of reasons to retire outside of New York.
Yikes! Glad your fall wasn’t any worse!
Thank you.
Yikes. Not good. I had hopes to go do something outside today but I just went out for some firewood. I am not leaving the house for anything except firewood. It is too damn cold.
Damn. You dodged a bullet, glad it worked out OK.
My first winter in the US, it was raining one morning and I casually noticed that the temperature was about 30. Having never experienced freezing rain before, I went out to the parking lot walking fast. Did not end well.

Plus you were getting used to temperature measured in freedom units.
I laughed
Back in my automotive days, this time was spent putting finishing touches on test vehicles and driving to Minnesoda for winter test. Thermistors, data collection, start-up/heat-up tests, defrost tests……………..and fried walleye.

Richmond said Biden’s address on Jan. 6 was a “down payment” as the president builds the case to the public that the foundations of the country’s democracy are under assault.
He’s going to come out and say 50.1% of the voters (a small subset of the population at large) should not presume to have a mandate of totalitarian control of every aspect of life?
That would be refreshing.

As America’s record Omicron surge continues, cities and states across the country have no cohesive strategy to monitor the results of at-home rapid COVID tests.
Why it matters: This patchwork system means the official COVID case counts are almost certainly a vast undercount. Many cities don’t have an accurate sense of just how prevalent COVID is as they make decisions about mask mandates, school closures and other restrictions.
Oh, no. How will we maintain our code red terrorganda if those dumb rubes won’t help us jack the numbers up? Next thing you know, people will start thinking they’ll just have to learn to live with it. And then where will we be?
After being questioned by the Australian Border Force, the submission states that Djokovic’s exemption was determined to be invalid under Australia’s BioSecurity Act because his “previous infection with COVID-19 is not considered a medical contraindication for Covid-19 vaccination in Australia.”

She’s a TOSU fan. Why would you expect logic?
HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS
When the pandemic began, the CDC said COVID exposure was considered as 15 minutes or more less than six-feet away from someone infected with the virus. Health experts at UW Health say omicron doesn’t follow that rule.
“It was under 15 minutes you were unlikely to get infected but I don’t think that message has necessarily been updated as we’ve had more contagious variants so like 15 Minutes is no longer at all pertinent. Right now, with omicron we don’t measure contact times in minutes it’s in seconds. If you’re around someone for 10-30 seconds who has omicron you’re exposed enough to get infected,” explained Pothof.
——-
“It’s so contagious. So, instead of 100 people 1000 people are now infected. So, now it doesn’t matter that as a percentage it sends less people to the hospital the huge denominator, the huge number of people is actually driving hospitalizations up,” said Triplett.
Hospitalizations doctors say you can prevent by wearing a mask, being vaccinated and getting tested to keep others safe.
“Everybody has their own perspective on things but it’s always good to know especially if you’re going to be around a lot of people just to get tested just to make sure you’re not spreading it more than it already is,” said Triplett.
One whiff and you’re a goner.
But not before you kill hundreds of your friends and neighbors.

Look under the ice.
Wait, they don’t have a model backing this up?
Is it?
Omicron has just about used up its fifteen weeks of fame. Surely, there’s a new mutation out there that’s about to explode on America that “is resistant to the jab, contagious if you merely look at another person, and is sending hospitalizations soaring.” That should cover things until the election, so legislators can can the rules to allow us to vote by just picking up the telephone and pressing #1 for progress and compassion and #2 for white supremacist nutbag.

Misdemeanor – the shooter was an underprivileged yute. All kidding aside, why don’t employees being robbed just give the money to the robber? It isn’t like they are going to be out of pocket. With everyone “masked for safety,” it even makes it less likely the employee is going to be able to identify the shooter, so why shoot them in the first place? I suspect in many of these incidents, the cashier already knows who the robber is and is being shot to make sure they can’t testify.
