My comment on the previous thread brings me to a serious OT story:

In high school, I had a physics teacher who was on a green card from Australia. She took absolutely no shit. (For some reason, I wound up as the teacher’s pet in that class, but anyway.) She patrolled the classroom with a wooden meterstick while she taught. If she caught you napping, or goofing off, or being a smart-aleck, you got a sharp rap upside the back of the head with the meterstick. I’m still astonished she managed to last through my senior year.

That should be the message sent to the NeverTrump crowd now: “Voting against Biden because you hate Trump does not mean Biden is obligated to ‘reach across the aisle,’ to ‘meet you halfway,’ to be ‘bipartisan,’ or any of the plethora of phrases that translate as ‘he owes us!’ We know you’re voting against the man and not his policies, because more than one of you has tried to offer us excuses for why we can ‘give him credit’ or why he ‘has a point.’ This isn’t our first rodeo, we remember well what you pulled after McCain lost in ‘08, when you began going after Obama for not being your new buddy. Vote for Biden, help get Trump out of office, but don’t lie to us about your reasons.”

According to my parents, Rockwall county made the news because we’re defying Abbott’s order to avoid large crowds. Next week is the big fireworks show (Rockwall does put on a pretty good one) at Harry Myers park. The problem generally is that a few hundred - possibly thousand, I don’t know how to count crowds - show up in the main park area and cook, and play while bands play until the fireworks that evening. In addition, the field in front of the old aluminum plant across from the park fills with hundreds of cars where people watch. They will also cook and play; we would just take food and sit out there. CERT, which I am a part of, would also set up a tent for first aid, and we would help find children that separated from their parents.

The Rockwall County Emergency management page has been keeping up with our covid counts. This was in today’s:

You will notice an increase of 98 cases reported today. This is because we have not received new cases from the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for over a week due to their transition to a data management system. Had DSHS continued daily reports since last Thursday, we would have seen an average of 14 cases a day over the previous week. Remember that even “new” data is about two weeks old, and actions taken by Texans today won’t reflect in the numbers for about two weeks.

14 a day for a week is a pretty massive increase for Rockwall.

Here’s a graphic with our totals:

It used to be that Lyle Lovett was the most famous grad of my high school (class of 1974). Now I think it’s Sylvester Turner (class of 1973). He was class president and valedictorian at a high school that was 96 percent white. That has also changed, the percentage of white students is down to 39 percent.

Nah, this ban apparently isn’t connected to that. Whatever it was, it was so bad that they perma-banned his ass, ripped up a multiyear contract he just signed, are refunding all subs to his channel, and have wiped everything from said channel. This is the sort of response you only see from companies like Amazon when a “celebrity” connected to them has either been arrested or is about to be with connection to a serious felony.

Twitch, of course, can do whatever it wants, but the circumstances around this permaban do seem unusual. Like you said, abruptly severing all ties with a “celebrity” is more the sort of corporate decision you’d be likely to see when a major crime is involved and Twitch’s current silence on the matter could be down to legal reasons. Ripping up a multi-year contract, refunding subscribers and wiping everything from Dr Disrespect’s channel is a serious move and not something any corporation would take lightly.

One of their biggest “celebrities” with a multiyear contract, subs who are likely generating a healthy profit monthly, and sales boosts for whichever games he plays, wouldn’t get nuked out of existence over a simple TOS violation. Even “accidentally” walking into a men’s room on a live stream only got him banned for 2 weeks and the streams/clips from such pulled down from his channel. To shred a contract, refund all those subs, and nuke his channel out of existence means he did something or is suspected of doing something that goes past TOS and into criminal charges.

Local history break.

LOOKING BACK: Death of a fur trapper (Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald)

There are many tales about fur trader Hiram Scott, after whom Scott’s Bluff is named. The most prominent was told by Washington Irving in his book “Captain Bonneville,” in which he wrote Hiram Scott became ill and was abandoned by his companions somewhere at the base of the mountain. That was the story carried round the nation.

Numerous other tales about Hiram Scott float around here, which the now-defunct newspaper Mitchell Index (actually based in Bayard, not Mitchell) tried to document.

“Twas here the bluffs of various hues
Stood towering to the skies
And there, alas! Oh dreadful thought!
Poor Scott among them lies.”

—Susan Hayes, migrant on the Oregon Trail, 1852

Some say he was killed by a grizzly bear. Some say he was seriously injured in a fall.

Many fur trappers working for John Jacob Astor’s American Fur Company are thought to have died here, but only Hiram Scott is remembered, in the poem above, the Washington Irving story, the name of Scott’s Bluff, Scott’s Bluff County, the City of Scottsbluff, and the national monument designation.

She is a Democrat. Reading about her election, she registered as a Democrat because a Republican has little chance of being elected in the city.

Considering the things she’s done about this (pulled the video down, “sorry if you were offended,” “it wasn’t my intent to endanger anyone,” &c) she sounds exactly like a Republican who registered as a Democrat to compete in the city election.

A recall petition drive is already underway in St. Louis; the city charter allows for recalling a mayor.

Toronto officer guilty of assault after blinding black man (BBC)

An off-duty Toronto police officer has been convicted of assault after blinding a black man in an attack with a metal pipe four years ago.

Dafonte Miller, 19, was chased and attacked by officer Michael Theriault and his brother Christian.

The brawl ended with Mr Miller badly injured and in handcuffs.

The victim, whose injuries were so severe his left eye had to be removed, said the officer should have been convicted of a more serious charge.

On Friday, Michael Theriault was convicted of assault, a lesser offence than his initial charge of aggravated assault. His brother Christian was found not guilty of aggravated assault.

Both brothers were also found not guilty of attempting to obstruct justice.

Cries of “Shame!” were heard outside the courthouse, where the verdict was delivered on a loudspeaker to a crowd of Mr Miller’s supporters, according to local media.

Hindu group offers cow urine in a bid to ward off coronavirus (Reuters)

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A Hindu group hosted a cow urine drinking party on Saturday as they believe it wards off the coronavirus, as many Hindus consider the cow sacred and some drink cow urine believing it has medicinal properties.

Experts have repeatedly asserted that cow urine does not cure illnesses like cancer and there is no evidence that it can prevent coronavirus.

The “party,” hosted by a group called the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (All India Hindu Union) at its headquarters in the country’s capital, was attended by 200 people, and the organizers hoped to host similar events elsewhere in India.

“We have been drinking cow urine for 21 years, we also take bath in cow dung. We have never felt the need to consume English medicine,” said Om Prakash, a person who attended the party.

(more at Reuters)

India’s Prime Minister Narenda Modi also offered cow dung to Xi Jiaping to help China with their coronavirus outbreak (China declined the offer).

The religious quackery is occurring in many countries (we’ve seen it here with prayer or stranger things), cow urine also promoted in Kenya, &c.

No criminal conduct found in 11-Worth protest, but mayor hopes restaurant will reopen (Omaha World-Herald)

Because as much as Republicans want protests against racists and Confederates to be illegal, they aren’t. That won’t stop them from trying (and wasting tax money) to promote that.

Mayor Jean Stothert (R) tasked the Omaha Police to investigate the closure of the 11-Worth Café after scary protestors with signs showed up to protest the restaurant putting a Robert E. Lee breakfast on its menu in response to citywide protests over the killing of George Floyd.

Omaha police have not found anything illegal about the protests that prompted the closure of the 11-Worth Cafe, but Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said Thursday that she hopes that the owners will reconsider their decision to shutter the popular breakfast spot.

“I don’t want any business to feel like they are forced to be closed because they’re being intimidated or because they’re afraid,” she said. “If they want to get back in business, whether it’s there or another place, we’ll do everything in our power to help them.”

(more)

Like all Republicans, she is a hypocrite. She is not having the police investigate the ongoing protests (by Democrats) in front of Chris Janicek’s cupcake shop. Protesting a sexist Democrat’s business is legal, protesting a racist Republican’s business should not be.

LINCOLN — Another side effect of the coronavirus will start showing up at Nebraska gas pumps next week.

Starting July 1, the state motor fuels tax is slated to hit an all-time record of 33.2 cents per gallon. That’s up 3.9 cents per gallon from the current level, according to an announcement from the Nebraska Department of Revenue. The new rate will be in effect until Dec. 31.

Vicki Kramer, a spokeswoman for the Nebraska Department of Transportation, said the rate increase is needed to offset the coronavirus-driven loss of revenues for the state’s road-building fund.

Recently we’ve been seeing these attack ads against Mark Kelly from Sen. Martha McSally and the groups that support her. We’ve seen Martha McSally smear her opponents before, and now she has gone as far as to say that Mark is weak on China or beholden to them.

That’s ridiculous. We know Mark Kelly. Like Mark, we took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and we served with him in the same squadron in the U.S. Navy and flew into combat together during Operation Desert Storm.

Shepherds are not nice people — they castrate the male lambs soon after birth and send them to slaughter a few months afterwards. They take and profit from their flock’s wool i.e. ‘fleecing’ them then they organise mass orgies of the surviving ewes in the summer. Any barren ewes that don’t get pregnant after this mass orgy are sent off to the slaughterhouse too. The pregnant ewes are left out in the cold winter fields to forage for what food they can scavenge while waiting to give birth and so the cycle continues.

I worked on a hill farm when I was younger, I herded sheep. It’s not an honourable profession and it says a lot for Christianity that it claims their Godhead is a shepherd.

Portland, Oregon. Love that town.

“No justice, no booty!” was one of the rallying cries during a PDX Stripper Strike protest on Wednesday afternoon.

About 100 people gathered for the event, which marched along Southeast Stark Avenue in the Montavilla neighborhood past two strip clubs, Club 205 and The Venue Gentlemen’s Club.

At least two of the protesters walked a mile and a half in platform stiletto heels.

Cat Hollis, lead coordinator with the Haymarket Pole Collective, which works to implement anti-discrimination policies in the adult industry, delivered letters of demands to both clubs. The protesters want all Portland clubs to provide cultural sensitivity training for employees and offer more equitable scheduling for dancers of color.

________________________________________________

To date, Hollis said, 27 local clubs have agreed to the collective’s demands. Another 17 have not yet responded.

Brianna Cistrunk, a former dancer, founded the Jezebel Project two months ago to “give a platform to Black strippers and entertainers that find themselves either discriminated against or without a voice.”

“Black dancers network with each other very well and unfortunately we know where we’re allowed to dance, where we’re even allowed to audition,” Cistrunk said. “If we do get hired, we’re usually kept on day shifts or shifts during the week which historically are not the more lucrative shifts.”

She’s right - the most lucrative shifts are Friday and Saturday nights, from around 8:00 pm to closing time.

I do find it strange that Christians throughout history have referred to the so-called Body of Christ as sheep and Jesus as a shepherd (along with the requisite paintings of Jesus holding a lamb), refer to Jesus himself as the Lamb of God, but at the same time conservative Christians refer to the people who don’t agree with them as “sheep” and people who have left Christianity or never were Christians as “lost sheep.”

(CNN) President Donald Trump appears ready to move on from a still-raging coronavirus pandemic — skipping the first White House task force briefing in months and moving the event out of the White House itself. But the measures meant to protect him from catching the virus have scaled up dramatically.

As he seeks to insert rival Joe Biden’s health into the presidential campaign, Trump has voiced escalating concern about how it would appear if he contracted coronavirus and has insisted on steps to protect himself, even as he refuses to wear a mask in public and agitates for large campaign rallies where the virus could spread.

When he travels to locations where the virus is surging, every venue the President enters is inspected for potential areas of contagion by advance security and medical teams, according to people familiar with the arrangements. Bathrooms designated for the President’s use are scrubbed and sanitized before he arrives. Staff maintain a close accounting of who will come into contact with the President to ensure they receive tests.

Such bigotry is allowed under the I Amendment if you’re a church.

Maybe it’s an English/American problem?

“the police being only members of the public”. I.E. they’re not special. They are members of the public paid to “give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence”.

I think you’re reading a “the” before the word “only”. It isn’t there. In this context “only” is synonymous with “merely” or “just”.

I think you have it correct and I have it wrong. I put a “the” in front “only” when I read it, and that word is not there.

The German version of Airplane!, has an amazing title: Die unglaubliche Reise in einem total verrĂŒckten Flugzeug (“The Unbelievable Journey in a Totally Crazy Airplane”, which I assume was done so as not to disappoint viewers who showed up expecting a serious socio-philosophical drama about mankind’s inability to cope with jet lag).

It did, however, include an amazing adaptation of the “I speak Jive” scene: it has two black fellows speaking such a thick Bavarian dialect that they need an interpreter.

BTW the German title of Airplane! The Sequel was Die unglaubliche Reise in einem total verrĂŒckten Raumschiff (“The Unbelievable Journey in a Totally Crazy Space Ship”)

A long time ago, I caught the Super Bowl on German TV. This was before the private broadcasters picked it up and started running fillers and commercials.

But back then, it was on public-financed TV, which is only allowed to air commercials from 8am to 8pm.

So during the commercial breaks, all we got was slow pan shots of the stadium and lot of entirely un-self-conscious players stretching, scratching their butts and spitting out Gatorade, as they knew that everyone was busy watching the Diamondvision screen

But these dudes are heavily invested in being viewed as straight and super manly, so being so invested in what other men (and only men) think makes no sense. If you wanted to be seen as manly and attractive to women, wouldn’t you care more about what they think?

When the little, fixed systems came out we we with those and never looked back.

Back before Dish Network got launched you needed two separate subscriptions: One for the original DirecTV, and one for DSSB. That was back in the early-mid 1990s. Now with the Internet, both Dish and DIRECTV are feeling the heat (and losing subscribers) over internet-based content delivery services - Is it any wonder why Dish network bought up a metric shit-ton of Band 4 LTE licenses - and their initial willing to take over Boost Mobile during the Sprint/TMobile merger? Now Dish is putting the screws to TMobile over the costs becuase of COVID19, and TMobile is fighting the State of California over headcount and bandwidth availability.

With T-Mobile, I got a much cheaper bill ($90) than when I was with Verizon (close to $300) or AT&T (around $200-220). Having a femtocell helped where I live with all carriers (except AT&T, which only sold 3G femtocells before they pulled the plug and went totally with WiFi calling - which doesn’t do squat when you need/want to visit someone and they are not willing to give you access to their WiFi resources.)

Since the rise of wireless communications, our telephone networks - from a voice standpoint - have moved from few fixed origination access points but incredibly reliable connections, to incredible nationwide square-feet by square feet access but incredibly unreliable/unavailable connections.

”are you the person responsible for our being held prisoner here?”




“The National Health Service issues temp quarantines in cases of an unidentified disease. It’s a precautionary measure. I’m sorry for any inconvenience it’s caused you.”




“I’m sure that Ely is already aware of the situation, bur I will be more than happy to phone the cathedral and explain—”

“Explain! Perhaps you’d like to explain it to me, too. I’m not used to having my civil liberties taken away like this. In America, nobody would dream of telling you where you can or can’t go.”

We are very rural. Our DSL uses 2 twisted pairs that are bonded together with some sort of magic. We went from 1.5Mb down to around 15. It required a new modem.

He Stood Out Even in Nixon’s Pack of Wolverines
For those of us who gobbled up every scrap of the Watergate scandal as though it were the last bowl of good stew on Earth, Christmas came early in 2020, along with massive Saharan dust clouds, stinging Lion’s Mane jellyfish, murder hornets, meth gators, mutant Siberian ticks, the pandemic, the recession, the continued presidency* of the incumbent, and Lindsey Graham. I think I speak for the entire congregation when I say that we all need a little Christmas, right this very minute.

The good people at the National Security Archive down at George Washington University have worked their formidable FOIA Jedi powers and pried loose from the bowels of the government a motherlode of material concerning The Huston Plan, the massive domestic surveillance plan drawn up by a young White House aide named Tom Charles Huston who, at the time, was working as the liaison between Richard Nixon’s White House and the various intelligence agencies of the U.S. government. Of all the people involved in the Nixon Administration’s various and sundry misdeeds, Huston always has been a figure of some mystery. He didn’t go on trial, like so many of the people above him did. He never cashed out with a book or a TV movie, the way some of the others did. After his brief burst of notoriety, he left government service, went home to Indiana, and practiced real-estate law. He also wrote op-eds and mentored young conservatives, including an ambitious Hoosier named Mike Pence.

And speaking of punchable faces, Huston had one.

I think the thought process (I will not call it “logic”) of Trump supporters is that since Covid is a hoax and a lie, any sort of lies or exaggerations that Trump tells about it do not qualify as such


This is the same sort of logic that leads to Q-Anon: since Obama, Gates, Hillary, Soros, IRS, CIA, EPA, FDA, etc. along with liberals in general are so evil, that no bad things told about them can be considered “wrong” in the greater sense.

re: #176 A Mom Anon

You know, all this strikes me as really odd. Beyond the usual and obvious. It seems like way too many men are overly concerned about what other men think. I understand that if you were a gay man, at least a little. But these dudes are heavily invested in being viewed as straight and super manly, so being so invested in what other men (and only men) think makes no sense. If you wanted to be seen as manly and attractive to women, wouldn’t you care more about what they think?

I keep telling my son that if he really wants a girlfriend and to be successful in dating and relationships he needs to ask the women he is friends with for advice, not the men. I doubt seriously he’s listening, but I keep hoping he’ll listen.

It’d be nice if this were the case. But that’s not the system that rewards men. As young men, we discover that the guys who act like this are treated with admiration by their peers, are desired by our female peers, and are validated constantly by the media we see and the cultural environment. Those at the top of that pecking order are the ones that our culture fawns over, men and women alike.

I mean, 63 million of us thought that the neediest bully among us should be king. Our culture does not reward considering the thoughts of women, humility, respect, or really many positive traits at all. And it’s not just men who subscribe to that culture.

I wish someone would pick up on this analogy and give it wider circulation:
Trump’s response to the whole healthcare debate is as if some tenants are complaining about a leaky roof, and the landlord (Trump’s accustomed role) can only demand that he be allowed to demolish the house entirely, and bulldoze the site flat; meanwhile promising to build the displaced a new house. Though with no blueprints, no schedule, no budget, and angry outbursts at any anybody who might question the lack of plans (and/or blaming Obama for the lack of construction).
And of course, the simplest answer - i.e., FIX THE FUCKING ROOF!!! - never gets much airing

lawhawk  Jun 27, 2020 • 9:34:58am

Fuck to the T, GOP, and the mendacious mediaℱ that is still trying to magic balance fairy the fuck out of events.

Trump’s now down at his golf business in Virginia after opting not to fly in to NJ. He can’t help himself. He claimed he was staying in DC to “law and order”, but it’s clear he cares only about himself and golfing.

And the media needs to focus explicitly on Trump knowing for months that Russia had bounties paid to Taliban to kill our troops, and Trump’s only action was to try and get Russia back into the G-7. Trump has blocked additional sanctions or anything that might anger Putin. That’s no accident.

That’s enemy action.

Trump is engaging in treason, and the GOP refuses to do anything but enable Trump. That makes them complicit and criminal themselves. They know and do nothing.

Democrats need to spine the fuck up and open hearings into impeaching Trump a second time - not just for the things they opted not to impeach Trump for the first time (the unindicted coconspirator in Cohen felony case), but the Barr interference in Trump cases to protect Trump, extorting China, putting our troops in harms’ way and enabling our enemies and rivals at our expense, and his constant failure to act to protect Americans’ lives from covid19.

Hold the fucking hearings - this is essential and critical to understanding the scope of Trumpworld corruption. And don’t hold back against the likes of Jordan, McCarthy, Nunes, Gohmert, and McConnell among others. They know and don’t care. What’s worse, they are themselves implicated in misconduct.

If the GOPers caterwaul about hearings, make ‘em pound sand. Trump’s misconduct is high crimes, and the GOP covered up once for him. They do it again ahead of the election? Make them pay.

Democrats need to take up a scorched earth policy against the GOP. The GOP deserves no quarter and no respite. They don’t deserve any benefit of doubt. Hold the fucking hearings. Make them squirm and testify under oath, and if Trumpists don’t testify, use the power of Congress to compel testimony or else face jail. No more half measures. The GOP wouldn’t stop with half measures if the shoe was on the other foot.

Do you know the polymerase chain reaction markers for the RNA sequence are positive because they match up without you ever having been exposed? Well, you might want to look into that, huh?

The guy went on to be a complete douche and was generally rude, so he ultimately got shown the airlock.

The tests we have now look for COVID RNA. That’s pretty much the entirety of the “do you have it now” tests. I believe the antibody tests also look for RNA, but those I’m not sure of as I don’t think they’re really there yet.

We know redlining is a real thing, and it’s still happening. Realtors not showing homes in some communities.

Fuck it, but Trump refused to rent to persons of colors into the 1970s until the DOJ entered into a consent decree forcing him to do so. He’s always been a fucking racist, and so much of our country has institutional racism built right into every aspect.

Real estate is a very tangible part of that racist legacy - going to where people live, the quality of the schools due to lack of tax base, and policing that keeps poor people poor (doubly so if you’re poor and a person of color), etc.

re: #244 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

The antibody tests use blood samples to prove the presence or absence of antibodies produced to combat the specific virus. There’s no viral RNA involved in those tests.

The swab tests look for the presence of live active virus by isolating RNA from the virus capsules, multiplying it to increase the ‘signal’ and then identifying the specific form of RNA peculiar to COVID-19.

COVID-19 RNA detected in cruise ship carpets and on medical facility walls simply prove the virus was present in those locations in the recent past, the RNA by itself is harmless since it needs the viral capsule to penetrate vulnerable cells to replicate and cause harm.

Did they include the part where they have guns and the power to do whateverthefuck they want?

That’s an American disease and nothing to do with what the police should be. As I already said Peel was involved in the creation of the Royal Irish Constabulary(*) and, naturally they were armed. It was his experience of how that worked that led him to insist that the Metropolitan police, and hence all other police forces in the UK, should be unarmed(**).

As for the question of “power”, that’s a fuckup by your supreme court. I’m of the opinion that the judgements on “qualified immunity” should be thrown out because one of the earliest obviously breaches the copyright of Gilbert and Sullivan. (In Re The Pirates of Penzance, D’Oyly Carte vs US supreme court).

(*) I.E. the first level of British occupation forces in Ireland.

(**) He explicitly didn’t want the police to be seen as a force of occupation.

(Also, minor American fuck-up, because of the misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment to the constitution *everybody* could be/is armed. Of course *your* police have guns.)
