Climate change denial was the Covid denial of the 90’s and aughtsies and tensies…all about ideology and posturing.
And the same arguments: a liberal hoax to rob us of our freedoms and gain control of the world economy, etc…

re: #2 Backwoods_Sleuth
Free Speech Union’s Emma Webb says banning taking the knee for BLM at the Tokyo Olympics is the right decision. “The majority of people support banning taking the knee. It is divisive and doesn’t have much to do with kicking racism out of sport.”
Bow to the tyranny of the perceived majority.
Justice Barrett is set to decide a case brought by the same right-wing special interest group that poured over a million dollars into a campaign to get her confirmed. She needs to recuse herself, under Supreme Court precedent. https://t.co/0N6O6kbwxI
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) April 22, 2021
At her confirmation hearing, Barrett refused to answer questions about whether she would recuse in the case, which was then pending before the court, but had not been granted review. At the time, she said it would “not be appropriate for me as a judicial nominee to offer an opinion about such abstract issues or hypotheticals.”
But after she was confirmed, the court agreed to review the case, and there was no indication of a Barrett recusal.
The case, which is to be argued next week, was brought by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, created by the conservative Koch brothers. It challenges a California law, similar to those in other states, that requires tax-exempt nonprofits to attach to their state tax filing an IRS form that discloses the identity of their large donors. The foundation is seeking a broad constitutional ruling that would keep its donor identities secret.

This is misleading. Abrams wrote that boycotts work under certain conditions…but proceeded, in the same op-ed, to argue that Georgia’s conditions weren’t right for a boycott. In a web video that day, she explicitly said, “Please do not boycott us.” https://t.co/Ym0uIdFZy8

If you like Moleskine, go to their official site because they’re having a really handy sale. It’s a bit like Charles Tyrwhitt: what you want may not be available with your options, but while sapphire blue isn’t my absolutely first choice for extra large plain notebooks (with the 192 pages, not those shitty thin little brown-covered ones), for slightly less than 80 bucks, I snagged 6, with free shipping and no tax. And before you say, “You spent 80 bucks on notebooks?”, you need to be a Moleskine user to appreciate why that’s worthwhile. Best damned notebooks made. The reporter’s flip notebooks are damned good as well. I prefer plain notebooks, and Moleskine makes paper that both pencils and fountain pens like.

Hubby got his second Pfizer shot today. Our son and I get our second shot a week from tomorrow. I can maybe breathe a little easier about mid May, when the immunity fully kicks in. No one comes into this house without being vaccinated, and yes, I will ask for documentation because it’s my fucking house.
I’m really over these idiots that won’t get vaccinated. That and the countries world wide that still don’t have enough vaccine or health protocols in effect are going to make this virus an ongoing problem. There’s no excuse for not getting vaccinated unless you are home bound and have no support network(true of many elderly and disabled people who have to depend on help that often isn’t there or sporadic) or you are in an isolated area that hasn’t been served yet. There may be some medical exceptions, but not enough to mess with herd immunity. Hopefully wanting to see grandkids and other important people will sway some of the reluctant, but the rest of these covidiots are going to make life more difficult for a lot of us.

The rural villages in the Sindh and Punjab are going to be abattoirs.
And yes, this is going to cross borders into Pakistan, Bangladesh, and eventually back home to China.
Yeah, eventually it’ll make its way to China. And if they bungle it like they did the initial outbreak in Wuhan, well….then we’ve all got a real mess on our hands. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they learned something from that.
Time to call it a day - have a good one, Lizards and stay healthy.

If so, Democrats should immediately call a quorum in the Senate and pass everything McConnell has been filibustering.

Nice idea, but Biden’s address is going to be to a joint *meeting* of Congress: it’s not a regular *session*, so nothing is going to be done anyway.
And right after I typed this, I realized that’s it’s Congress: nothing very often gets done even in the “regular sessions”….

Milwaukee Promotes Itself As Hip, Affordable Place To Live With All The Police Brutality Of Chicago
MILWAUKEE—In an effort to attract new residents to the city, Milwaukee rolled out a new campaign Thursday promoting itself as a hip, affordable place to live with all the police brutality of Chicago. “As one of the top up-and-coming midsize cities in America with great restaurants, an amazing entertainment district, and a police presence that terrorizes Black neighborhoods 24/7, there’s never been a better time to move to Milwaukee,” said Mayor Tom Barrett, who invited budget-minded Gen Z and millennial professionals to come experience the same level of disparity between Black and white residents at half the price. “You don’t have to move to a big, expensive metropolis to live in fear. Milwaukee is so vibrant you can practically feel the violent energy radiating off our police department. We may not be as big in size as some cities, but you couldn’t find a better worse place for Black people.” At press time, Barrett had unveiled a banner touting Milwaukee as the most segregated city in America.
Washington Post: “The Trump administration put up bureaucratic obstacles that stalled approximately $20 billion in hurricane relief for Puerto Rico and then obstructed an investigation into the holdup, according to an inspector general report.”

Might Be A Good Time To Remind Y’all Of That Time Tucker Carlson Beat Up A Gay Dude In The Bathroom
In 2007, Tucker bragged on TV, in a discussion on MSNBC with Dan Abrams and Joe Scarborough, about that time he beat up a gay guy in the bathroom. It was around the time of that whole Larry Craig thing. Tucker started the story by saying “Let me be clear, Dan, I am not gay. I have never been gay. I overreacted and made a poor decision.” Gotcha, Tucker.

IMO human error is the likeliest explanation for the India surge of covid19.
The covid-19 rate was pretty low until recently, even if you assumed 90% of cases were missed, so people were lazy and relaxed precautions. There was some backlash from the initial shutdown.
Everyone is telling me that people aren’t masking up enough there.

By a 5–2 vote, the ultra-conservative Florida Supreme Court tosses a ballot initiative legalizing recreational marijuana, under the (ridiculous) reasoning that its wording implies that the initiative will somehow legalize weed federally. Total insanity. https://t.co/MJhCl3OKBV

The Florida Supreme Court’s anti-weed decision today is so bizarre and illogical that it is pretty clearly the result of five justices’ hostility to marijuana legalization (and self-governance) rather than any plausible reflection of the law. https://t.co/nrni20mKkN @Slate

I get why Falun Gong’s newspaper would hate the Chinese Communist Party. But they have gone full GOP/Trumpist with respect to US domestic politics, where every non-Republican is a communist, by definition.
It’s the kind of newspaper Joe McCarthy would have put out in the 1950s.
And of course this “special free issue” opens with a page of lying bullcrap about the Epoch Times being truth-seeking journalism.

Weed illegality is a primary weapon in the suppression of black people in America. That’s the whole of the reason for them to not allow the initiative.

Friendly reminder: most of the “big” name brand businesses are likely franchises and thus still small, local, family owned businesses. They just got suckered into subsidizing someone else’s intellectual property rights.

Much as the initial reasoning behind the whole “War on Drugs” that started under Nixon was to find some way to beat on the people that white racist conservatives didn’t like.
“Those hippies sure like smoking their reefer.”
“Let’s scream about it, pass laws imposing huge prison sentences & then start rounding up only the ones with dark skin!”
“Genius!”
