A thought on the current USPS situation:

Congress could pass a law restructuring the governing board, but I was also thinking they could just pass a law requiring that the USPS perform at the level they were before Dejoy took over or the board gets replaced.

Sure but almost 30 million have had at least one dose and this past week we averaged about 1.3 million doses per day, so we are already going faster, the 5 million just reflects the slow start.

She is referring to US House District NE-2 (Omaha and suburbs D, the rest R). In the really rural parts of the state (west of North Platte) there are no vaccines at all, because the state hasn’t gotten sufficient shipments of the Moderna vaccine yet.

She is otherwise correct: Vaccines are going mostly to the parts of the state that went for Trump. Douglas County / Omaha Public Health District says it has no idea when it will be able to start widespread vaccinations.

So the “bipartisan,” “slimmed down” bill that 10 Senate Repubs totally pinky swear promise they’ll vote for if Dems accept it would not even cover 1/4 of the $1.9T that the Dem bill would cover. The checks would be smaller and go to fewer people, states and cities would be told to sink or swim, and most everything else would remain at the levels set by the December “bipartisan” bill.

Welcome to Recovery Act 2.0, folks.

State Senator Mark Kolterman (R-Legislative District 24, SE Nebraska) has introduced an insurance reform bill which would impose severe limits on the practice of so-called “step therapy.”

Step therapy (also called “fail first”) is the practice where a health insurance company denies a medication ordered by a physician in favour of a cheaper one. The practice causes people to sometimes seek extended visits and treatments from physicians for years before getting the correct medications. This is most often used with brand-name medications where a generic medication or a different medication is ordered by the insurance company (contrary to popular belief, generic medications are not in all cases formulated the same as brand-name equivalents), causing everything from outright failure to allergies to unpredicted side effects.

These diversions of doctors’ medical orders are most often seen with epilepsy, psychiatric drugs, and certain other diseases such as cancer or psoriasis. A coalition of fifty health advocacy groups for such things as epilepsy and arthritis back the proposal. The insurance industry opposes it.

The bill would set a time limit on insurance companies approving medication prescriptions, and if denying it in favour of another drug, they must provide information on how and why that can be appealed (the drug has already been tried and failed, where the requested drug is already showing good outcomes with the patient, the drug is not locally available, &c.)

Senator Kolterman is a retired insurance agent. He believes he already has the necessary votes lined up in the Unicameral for the bill to pass, with supporters from both parties.

Sounds like a Republican who is doing the right thing. If enough people like him remain in the party, maybe it can recover from the years of Gingrich, McConnell, and Trump.

I’ve mentioned this here before but over 25 years ago, a nephew, who had serious health problems, was on medication for seizures. The insurance company insisted on switching to a cheaper generic which made him ill. My sister is a very fierce woman; she confronted the insurance company with threats of a law suit and they caved.

14 billion, add the number stolen or spoiled or misdirected, add the number of palms to be greased, add a few dozen bills to cut Social Security or food stamps, divide by the square root of imaginary biparitsanship, and that equals:

“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise… .”

Sen. Ketterman as a retired insurance agent is probably very familiar with this particular issue.

I take the cheapest medication there is for epilepsy (Phenobarbital). I developed epilepsy while I was in the Navy, and the Navy went though a whole slew of medications (most of which I had severe allergies to) before settling on that med in 1995.

Insurance companies and doctors tend to shy away from it because it is a controlled substance and is frequently diverted to the illegal drug market. (My prescription provides me endless loads of fun when I cross the border between the United States and Canada, even with a prescription printout from the Veterans Administration.)

I don’t know much about this particular senator. Another Republican senator (John McCollister, Legislative District 20, Omaha) in our state called out both Donald Trump and the Republican Party for their racism problem in 2020. Since that time, there has been pressure on him from the state GOP to leave the party (he says they’ll have to throw him out and he’ll keep calling them out on racism as long as they continue to pitch it). He tends to work with the most lefty state senator Megan Hunt on bipartisan legislation.

I’m watching ‘The Dig’ on Netflix. The first time I’ve heard of barley water.

Barley water is a traditional drink consumed in various parts of the world. It is made by boiling barley grains in water, then (usually) straining to remove the grains, and possibly adding other ingredients, for example sugar.

So like flat beer tea?

It makes pretty blue flowers in our flower beds. /s

In agriculture, it is primarily used to make linen and linseed oil. Flaxseed has high quantities of vegetable proteins, several Vitamin B compounds, minerals, and dietary fibre. (The latter helps lower blood cholesterol levels.)

The National Weather Service is still unclear how much snow beyond “lots” we will get between Wednesday and Friday from the storm currently located in the Gulf of Alaska.

In our area we are expecting snow above 4,000 feet Wednesday (so we’ll probably get a wintry mix), followed by all-snow Wednesday night though Friday night. They are also predicting “brutal cold” from northern Arctic air, with highs in the single digits and lows well below zero Saturday and Sunday. Highs today and tomorrow are expected to be in the mid sixties. Wednesday will be in the fifties.

The NWS is warning travel will be difficult to impossible from Wednesday night through Saturday in Wyoming east of the Laramie Range and the Nebraska Panhandle. As such, my wife wants to hit the market tomorrow.

Because he wasn’t a card-carrying exorcist, is this why they’re distancing himself from him, or because he wasn’t a real exorcist his exorcism powers were rendered useless?

For all my exorcisms, I insist on real exorcists.

I only wish people would stop for two seconds and think about how stupid any of this exorcist shit is.

Apparently like the guy in Wisconsin, our own homegrown wingnut did not have the archbishop’s permission to perform the church rite. As for whether he is qualified to do that, I have no idea, since I have no idea how one qualifies in any sort of religious rite regardless of the faith involved.

Seems that the Catholic Church insists that a doctor first examine the patient to determine there is not a health issue involved that could be mistaken for demonic possession before an exorcism can be allowed, which is a step forward from the Middle Ages…

Fresh preprint for y’all:
Evaluating the scale, growth, and origins of right-wing echo chambers on YouTube

Although it is understudied relative to other social media platforms, YouTube is arguably the largest and most engaging online media consumption platform in the world. Recently, YouTube’s outsize influence has sparked concerns that its recommendation algorithm systematically directs users to radical right-wing content. Here we investigate these concerns with large scale longitudinal data of individuals’ browsing behavior spanning January 2016 through December 2019. Consistent with previous work, we find that political news content accounts for a relatively small fraction (11%)of consumption on YouTube, and is dominated by mainstream and largely centrist sources. However, we also find evidence for a small but growing “echo chamber” of far-right content consumption. Users in this community show higher engagement and greater “stickiness” than users who consume any other category of content. Moreover, YouTube accounts for an increasing fraction of these users’ overall online news consumption. Finally, while the size, intensity, and growth of this echo chamber present real concerns, we find no evidence that they are caused by YouTube recommendations. Rather, consumption of radical content on YouTube appears to reflect broader patterns of news consumption across the web. Our results emphasize the importance of measuring consumption directly rather than inferring it from recommendations.

Good for Nebraska, hope it passes.

I took myself off Dexilant because I cannot in good conscience afford $11.00/day for it, which is what a refill would cost. My pharmacy benefit manager will not cover it at all. So I’m taking Prilosec OTC, which, while not cheap, is cheaper than $11.00/day.

So now I’m sitting here with heartburn, pissed off as hell, trying to figure out what I’m going to do because the cost of my medications (with Dexilant) is higher than my food budget. And I’m working with insurance. I fucking hate pharmacy benefit managers, fucking bean counters with a dodgy website. I can’t even price medications. Again, fucking bean counters!

[Embedded content]

This is not the wingnut priest I expected. There’s a priest who used to be in the Diocese of Madison, WI, named John Zuhlsdorf, who is a darling among “traditionalists.” Zuhlsdorf was doing the same thing as the Omaha guy, to wit, performing exorcisms of the election:

MADISON, Wis. - A priest who livestreamed exorcisms aimed at rooting out what he, former President Donald Trump and some Trump supporters have claimed was widespread voting fraud in the presidential election has left a Roman Catholic diocese in Wisconsin.

*snip*

Zuhlsdorf claimed he had permission from Madison Bishop Donald Hying to conduct the exorcisms. Hying said, however, that he didn’t give Zuhlsdorf permission to conduct exorcisms related to “partisan political activity” but rather approved an exorcism for “alleviation from the scourge of the coronavirus pandemic.”

Zuhlsdorf was not a diocesan priest; so it’s unclear where the heck he’s going from here.

It’s getting stronger— i think we will have— and nicola sturgeon probably wants— a second referendum soon. Brexit has increased the number of voters in scotland who want independence.
I think part of the reason they’re holding the MSP vote on Trump is to increase pressure for another referendum on independence. At least, that’s what i think sturgeon thinks—

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area during this latest nor’easter. 6 inches already on ground, and I’m expecting another 12-18 before this is over in the northern NJ area. Woo.

There’s so much conspiracy crap out there, especially on the right that it boggles the mind. There’s no evidence that HCQ does anything to help covid19 patients, but that’s not stopping Jimmy Hoft from pushing that bulkshit into the mainstream even when states like OK, that followed Trump’s dumbfuckery, have realized that they’re sitting on a useless stockpile of drugs that don’t do a damned thing during this pandemic.

But that’s not the most troubling thing I’ve seen today. No, that’s the video out of Rochester NY where a 9 year old girl was tased while in handcuffs because she was somehow a threat to police there.

There’s something completely fucked up with policing in the nation when a 9-year old girl is treated as a greater threat than the thousands of armed insurrectionists attempting to storm the Capitol to overthrow the government and kill members of Congress and the VP.

People on Twitter *really* do not understand how much of politics is kabuki. Manchin needs Biden to engage in at least some bipartisan talks so that when he agrees to vote to push legislation through, he can do it more-in-sorrow-then-in-anger.

I’m guessing Manchin’s comments in November about wanting to keep the filibuster had at least something to do with the Georgia Senate races: it defused the argument that you needed a GOP Senate for “balance” because who knows what that crazy-ass hippie Joe Biden was going to do otherwise. Mission accomplished, and now he needs a climbdown.

He’s not exactly my favorite senator, but he’s been solid when the chips are down and I’m sure he knows that stalling everything that comes through the Senate would fuck WV hard.

The thing to remember about Manchin is that he turns McConnell out of majority leader, allowing Biden to make appointments and sign reconciliation bills. If Manchin wasn’t there, the Senator from WV would not be a progressive Democrat, but a Trump loving, Freedom Caucus fascist. So don’t hate on Joe, he is the best we are going to get out of WV.

The situation in Myanmar is going from bad to worse. Military has carried out a coup and detained the civilian leadership after recent election showed 83% of vote went for the winner: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

The military has been in the courts trying to argue that the results were somehow fraudulent (jeez, where’d we see these arguments before? Oh right - Trump and GOP spewing this crap with no actual proof).

The problem is that Myanmar has a far more fragile political situation and the military decided that they’re not going to support Kyi’s election so they stepped in and exerted their own control instead.

Military promises that this takeover is just for one year, but that’s cold comfort and there’s no guarantee that they’ll give up power willingly or at all. Why would they? Is there any reason to think that Kyi wont win a new election, unless it’s been rigged by the military to their intended outcome?

Kyi was a huge disappointment, doing nothing about the Rohingya genocide. Of course the military conducted the attacks, so if she had opposed them, the generals might have ousted her sooner.

Good for Nebraska, hope it passes.

I took myself off Dexilant because I cannot in good conscience afford $11.00/day for it, which is what a refill would cost. My pharmacy benefit manager will not cover it at all. So I’m taking Prilosec OTC, which, while not cheap, is cheaper than $11.00/day.

So now I’m sitting here with heartburn, pissed off as hell, trying to figure out what I’m going to do because the cost of my medications (with Dexilant) is higher than my food budget. And I’m working with insurance. I fucking hate pharmacy benefit managers, fucking bean counters with a dodgy website. I can’t even price medications. Again, fucking bean counters!

This is a rather two-bit suggestion, but when I was struggling with acid reflux, I would get some relief by using the Arm & Hammer ‘cure’ of 1/2 tsp baking soda mixed in 4 oz of water. It tastes AWFUL, but it helped relieve the symptoms. You can take it every 2 hours. Not remotely a medical solution, but it helped after I quit taking prescription medications, and it’d cheap cheap cheap.

Indeed, for a party that just lost the presidency and the one house of Congress the party is united to an almost historically unprecedented degree. And it’s getting more united, not less, as we go forward. The only commotion are the punitive expeditions being mounted against the handful of renegades who briefly turned on Trump by supporting impeachment or making other conspicuous gestures of disloyalty.

Probably not: or little. Trump had vigorously campaigned against the Iran deal from the get-go, and had had considerable backup - the Israel First crowd, the neocons, the Muslim-baiters, most of the GOP anxious to deny Obama the least success in anything - He’d made withdrawal from the JCPOA a hallmark campaign promise in 2016, (and being something able to be executed unilaterally, an easy one to fulfill) so unlikely Jared had much to do with it per se.

TBH, while I quite agree with the meme expressed in #139 above, the “Israeli peace deals” (which is very much a misleading frame, but never mind for now) have the potential* to end up being the Trump Administration’s rare/sole foreign-policy “success”: i.e. the rare/sole one that hasn’t utterly embarrassed the US/made situations worse.

TBH, while I quite agree with the meme expressed in #139 above, the “Israeli peace deals” (which is very much a misleading frame, but never mind for now) have the potential* to end up being the Trump Administration’s rare/sole foreign-policy “success”: i.e. the rare/sole one that hasn’t utterly embarrassed the US/made situations worse. However, it IS the Middle East: things can still (and usually will) get seriously fucked up on very little notice.

*must be stressed

The normalization deals are almost entirely about being weapons deals. Trump conditioned weapons sales on normalization, and doesn’t care who made a deal and what they might do with the weapons.

So, far from being peace deals, these are actually extending diplomatic relations which is something all countries normally have, even if they’re rivals or enemies. It’s a step in the right direction but the cost of getting there is something that few are willing to investigate fully.

Cheryl Rofer, over at Balloon Juice, links to a Dan Froomkin article about what the new editors at the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times need to tell their reporters. I will include what she did:

Effective today, you are no longer political reporters (and editors); you are government reporters (and editors). That’s an important distinction, because it frees you to cover what is happening in Washington in the context of whether it is serving the people well, rather than which party is winning.
…

The most important lesson of the Bush/Cheney years is that we should never assume government officials are telling us the truth, especially when it comes to matters involving war and national security.

..

Here’s how we’re going to start: I want each of you to write a “beat note,” in which you describe at a high level what you see happening on your beat, what major questions you’re trying to answer, who the key players are, who seems to be operating in good faith and bad faith, what pressures they are under, and what you think the biggest challenges are ahead. Then we’ll publish them.

..

We too often think of whiteness as neutral. What we have all witnessed so vividly in the last four years is what nonwhite people have experienced for decades: that it is not. Whiteness can no longer be invisible in this newsroom. It must be acknowledged, studied and questioned. Non-white voices must be raised up and valued.

…

From now on, I’m the bad cop when it comes to dishy sources who want to talk to you anonymously. When you tell your sources “my boss won’t let me quote you unless you speak to me on the record,” that’s me.

Said McDaniel: “When I saw some of the things Sidney was saying, without proof, I certainly was concerned it was happening in my building. There are a whole host of issues we had to deal with — what is the liability of the RNC, if these allegations are made and unfounded?”

Lethal left-wing violence:

The Haymarket era… about a hundred years ago. A bombing at the Stock Exchange (1920 they were aiming for JP Morgan, missed him by about 15 minutes), the Los Angeles Times (1910, killed 21 and destroyed the building), Chicago Federal Building (1918, killed 4 injured 75 destroyed the entrance area to the building).

Also, 1960’s weatherman bombs; mostly in unoccupied rooms (just luck really, could have killed people) in a bathroom at the Pentagon and a university Chemistry lab. And the time the bomb-makers oopsied and killed themselves and destroyed a townhouse in Greenwich Village. The Brinks robbery 1981, killed 3, Kathy Boudin and her husband were convicted, Bill Ayers became guardian to their son when they went to prison. Chesa Boudin is now the San Francisco DA.

Alshilleh’s children plan to start a nonprofit in his memory to pay for the funerals of people who can’t afford them, even though they know their father would’ve frowned at any recognition.
