Half a year later and the GOP lies and excuses have only multiplied and entrenched themselves

I heard Trump get up and say to the crowds “I’ll be there with you”. Why are these words not being hung around his neck?

Simone Biles pulled out of the women’s gymnastics Olympics team finals competition for mental health reasons. A winner of five Olympic medals, Biles’ reason was the pressure she carries.

re: #1 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

The good thing is that the testimony of the officers today, along with the videos of assholes hurting the officers and destroying whatever they wanted to, might go a long way to showing the sleeping part of the public what actually happened to the police. It’s pretty hard to deny what’s happening there. Not that they won’t try, but the more this proceeds the better. Make it public as much as possible.

She’s being attacked by wingnuts too, for being a prima donna, spoiled, looking for attention, letting down the team( I thought they booed and heckled Americans at the games already), etc and so on. It’s who they are and what they do. Thus proving the point that people are reluctant to talk about mental health because of the reactions of assholes.

A flock of nightingales is a WATCH.

and a flock of crows is a MURDER

so an Australian friend of ours comes from a place near Wagga-Wagga. She tells us that “wagga” is the Aboriginal word for crow and so wagga-wagga means “many crows”

So what does “Wagga-wagga-wagga-wagga-wagga” mean in Aboriginal?

MURDER!!!

From what I’ve read, no one was prepared for the Who’s auto destruction bit at the end of their set, either. I think I read it in Dave Marsh’s Before I Get Old, but Eric Burdon said something like “I promise you, this next group will destroy in more ways than one” as he introduced the group, being one of the few people in the audience who knew what was coming.

About a month ago, I bought a small LED flashlight and promptly put it somewhere “smart” so I would always know where it was in case I needed it.

Well, now I don’t exactly *need* it, but I can’t find the friggin’ thing or even come close to remember what I did with it.

His Name Was Emmett Till
In 1955, just past daybreak, a Chevrolet truck pulled up to an unmarked building. A 14-year-old child was in the back.
By Wright Thompson
Photographs by Hannah Price for The Atlantic

In 1955 an all-white, all-male jury, encouraged by the defense to do their duty as “Anglo-Saxons,” acquitted J. W. Milam and Roy Bryant. Because the defendants couldn’t be tried again, they got paid to make a confession to a national magazine—a heavily fictionalized account stage-managed by their lawyers—and Leslie Milam and his barn were written out of the story. Ask most people where Till died and they’ll say Money, Mississippi, the town where Till whistled at Bryant’s wife outside the family’s store. An Equal Justice Initiative monument in Montgomery says Money. Wikipedia does too. The Library of Congress website skips over the barn, which is just outside the town of Drew, about 45 minutes from the store.

I learned about the barn last year and have since made repeated visits, alone and with groups, once with members of Till’s family. Over and over, I drove from my home in the Mississippi hill country back into the gothic flatland where I was born. The barn’s existence conjures a complex set of reactions: It is a mourning bench for Black Americans, an unwelcome mirror for white Americans. It both repels and demands attention.

First As Tragedy, Then As Farce Jul 27, 2021 • 4:12:03pm

Anyone want to take a stab at mapping a rational explanation onto this seemingly bizarre police encounter?

reddit.com

Short version: police roll up (literally - an SUV is driving in the grass) on a black woman obviously studying in a park gazebo and begin treating her like an ominous threat to society because 1) she is “loitering” in a part without children, and 2) because of some hypothetical situation that may occur “next week”.

Side note: if a park isn’t for “loitering” in, then I don’t know what the fuck they’re for.

Anyway, I’d love to have some follow-up on this because it just seems like the cheese slid off this cop’s cracker and the crackers of his cohorts.

As the reddit commenters suggest, does the city have an ordinance protecting certain parks or areas of parks for children only (and their accompanying guardians?)

There was a pedophile-fear fever, still going on with the usual crowd (Qanon), that has driven many places to go crazy.

These ordinances are a distraction from addressing where pedophiles truly lurk - in your churches, and in your own family gatherings.

I remember Gus from years ago…always enjoyed reading him. If I’m not mistaken, Gus was experiencing a health problem one evening long time ago. I think it was a blood clot in his leg and lizards were urging him to get help immediately which he thankfully did. All went well after couple days in hospital. Everyone was worried and asking about Gus.
(Correct me if I’m wrong, lizards, my memory is tricky sometimes.)

re: #77 Backwoods_Sleuth

I am a (mere?) 47 years old and CONSTANTLY have to come to grips with the fact that (for instance) the 1990s weren’t, like, 10 or 15 years ago.

I still sometimes watch episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. ST:TNG is closer in time to the original Star Trek series of the 1960s than it is to today. I still have a little trouble wrapping my mind around that.

I routinely misplace events in time by 15 or 20 years. It’s not a symptom of cognitive decline. (OR SO I TELL MYSELF…)

I actually picked my cat up today because when she came out from under the bed she collapsed on one of my hands, and I was slightly concerned. So then I lay down with her on my chest, and she loved it! She’s slept in my arms before often but never just completely on the chest. I think the up and down breathing was very relaxing for her. Then she proceeded to jailbreak the child gate and spent a couple hours god knows where, so it wasnt all smooth sailing.

re: #316 steve_davis

all right, i want to know the following things: are the people in ICU who claim they are vaccinated actually vaccinated, or are they just lying so that they don’t have to be lectured by staff? If they’ve actually been vaccinated, were they immunocompromised to the point where the vaccine just wasn’t effective, or were they between doses of pfizer or moderna, or were they inside the first week or two after the second dose? I want to have a sense of what my actual chances are of being hospitalized if I’m healthy, not immunocompromised, got both doses of pfizer, and am well past the window for when strong immunity should have kicked in. ‘Cause I’m gonna be in a small room with students this fall, some vaccinated, some not, and I don’t want to be a tragic story in the Washington Post.

Vaccinations are recorded by state governments. At least in my state, it’s done by driver’s license number or Social Security Number.

It is a trivial matter here for a hospital to ascertain whether a patient has actually been vaccinated.

re: #89 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

I am a (mere?) 47 years old and CONSTANTLY have to come to grips with the fact that (for instance) the 1990s weren’t, like, 10 or 15 years ago.

I still sometimes watch episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. ST:TNG is closer in time to the original Star Trek series of the 1960s than it is to today. I still have a little trouble wrapping my mind around that.

I routinely misplace events in time by 15 or 20 years. It’s not a symptom of cognitive decline. (OR SO I TELL MYSELF…)

We are rapidly approaching the point at which my birth date will be closer in time to the Battle of Little Bighorn (72 years 361 days) than to the present day (currently 72 years 36 days).

— BabelColour (@StuartHumphryes) May 7, 2020

One thing: One commenter has researched this well-known photo and dates it 27 June 1944. If so, it would be a V-1 strike rather than a V-2. The first V-1s hit London on June 13, 1944. The first V-2 warshot (against Paris) was not until September 7 (it failed). The first V-2 hit London the next day.

All I can suggest for your granddaughter is for her granddad to tell her “all conservatives lie.” No reputable source has said any such thing.

There are women who have gotten pregnant since getting vaccinated. Roughly a billion people around the world have gotten the shot, and the birth rate did not drop off a cliff.

The alternative would be harsher: If you do not get the vaccine, you cannot visit us. We will not allow you to risk our health or the health of our friends.

These white guys could never handle even the warmup routine Biles does in her spare time. They’d be gasping for breath.

They’re racist fuckers, and are attacking Biles and her health choice, which is also a safety choice, because if you can’t be in the right headspace to do those kinds of dangerous moves, you can seriously injure yourself in a fall.

Heck, Biles has competed while having broken bones, kidney stones, and is a sex abuse survivor (one of Nasser’s many victims - and she’s the last of his victims to be actively competing).

I wrote a little thing on Facebook telling anyone who might criticize Biles to shove it, and when I wrote “whose only accomplishment is” I almost put “being white” but I wanted people to read the whole thing so I wrote “avoiding being run over.”

I think you either have it in yourself to care about other people or you don’t. These folks just don’t. And nothing will change that.

But it’s not that these people don’t care about others; it’s that they keep on hearing lies that the disease is mild; that the deaths are overstated; that it’s no different from the flu. It’s not until they experience it themselves, that they finally understand that everything they believed about COVID was wrong. Of course, this doesn’t apply to those in authority who propagate these lies from the pulpit or from the TV set or the radio or from the legislature. But certainly to those ordinary people who get their information from these sources.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was asked on Fox News a very simple question: Did you talk to President Trump on January 6?

That makes it very likely he’ll be called as a witness by the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol attack.
