As Greg Abbott competes fiercely with Ron DeSantis for the coveted Worst Responder Award:

Covid hospitalizations in Texas are rising more steeply than ever before

Last week, the Republican governor issued an executive order barring local governments from mandating masks or vaccinations. Some officials are already defying his wishes, however, citing the need to slow the skyrocketing spread of COVID-19.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told city employees Monday they must resume wearing masks at work when they can’t keep socially distant, according to the Houston Chronicle. The city’s health director said this week the amount of virus in the wastewater system is at a level never before seen.

Dallas County increased its COVID-19 threat level to red, in response to the “frightening trajectory” of cases. At a Tuesday meeting, County Judge Clay Jenkins required members of the commissioners court to wear face coverings and had one removed for refusing.

According to the latest federal guidance, even vaccinated Texans should wear masks indoors in almost every county because the spread of COVID-19 is so high.

Abbott needs the boot, and Clay Jenkins should be governor.

Haaretz notices that the far-right are busy doing historical revisionism:

These Far-right Nationalists Didn’t Like What They Read Online About World War II - So They Rewrote History

A recent probe by the online encyclopedia Wikipedia reveals major historical revisionism by far-right forces in its Croatian and Serbian versions. But it also exposes the dangerous overlap between nationalism and disinformation online.

The discovery was made public a few months back:

Wikimedia bans admin of Wikipedia Croatia for pushing radical right agendas

The Wikimedia Foundation has banned the administrator of the Croatian version of Wikipedia after an investigation revealed that together with other admins, they edited and distorted content on the site with radical right views.

This group had de-facto control of the website between 2011 and 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation said in a report published earlier this month.

“It appears that this group consisted of real-life friends, ideological sympathisers, and political allies,” the organization said.

The Wikimedia Foundation said it found that this group “systematically produced and edited articles containing unencyclopaedic content and overt historical revisionism,” often using questionable online sources to portray fringe views as political or historical facts.

“Many articles created and edited by the members of this group present the views that match political and socio-cultural positions advocated by a loosely connected group of Croatian radical right political parties and ultra-conservative populist movements,” the organization said.

Among the edits this group had done:

Claiming that Hitler attacked Poland and started World War II after the Poles committed genocide against Germans.

Redefining a World War II concentration camp as a labor camp.

We should not forget that far-right and straight up fascist ideology is popular in eastern Europe (sometimes tied to Catholic or Orthodox relgious groups.) These are the allies of the Trump-circle.

Carrying on from the former thread, saying that someone and their attitudes will eventually die out (dying is inevitable) is a lot different from wishing someone dead, but hey I get how Twitter is and how their algorithms (and facebooks) are slanted, it’s their platform.
I don’t feel the need to word my tweets exactly how they need to be to conform with Twitter guidelines, if that’s gets me suspended, oh well, I’ll just make another account if I feel the need to be there. (Done it many times)
It’s a cesspool and it’s really not worth the time, unless your trying to promote something, like say LGF, or any other buisness or website.

My Nephew is in PA School tegu U of F. He’s currently spending a year on deck in the big Jacksonville Hospital that’s been on MSNBC so much lately.
These are some of his texts.

Things are good. Tested Covid negative today so that’s good. Start in the surgical ICU tomorrow.

I was marinating in COVID for the last month so I figured it would be a good idea.

Some break throughs. Not a ton. Almost all are unvaccinated.

The few that get admitted with breakthrough all have CHF, diabetes, kidney failure, etc.
But we are seeing people younger than before as a general trend.

233 Covid patients at the hospital. 190 staff that are out because of Covid.

The ICUs are full. Pre op will likely become COVID ICU overflow

IM already so sick of it. The amount of fucking resources in the hospital these people require is fucking insane.

“…ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.” Well, maybe several million compatriots.

TOKYO, Aug 3 (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee on Tuesday asked the Chinese team for a report on why two of its medallists appeared on the podium wearing badges featuring the head of the country’s former leader Mao Zedong.

Gold medal cyclists Bao Shanju and Zhong Tianshi wore the badges during a medal ceremony on Monday, in a potential breach of Olympic rules on the display of political paraphernalia.

“We contacted the Chinese Olympic Committee and asked them for a report on the situation,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said. “We are looking into the matter.”

The duo wore the badges, commonplace in China for half a century but a potential breach of Rule 50 of the Olympic charter, after retaining the women’s cycling team sprint title at the Izu Velodrome.

While the IOC last month relaxed Rule 50 to allow gestures, such as taking the knee on the field of play provided athletes do so without disruption and with respect for fellow competitors, it has banned any such gestures on the podium….

I have a question for the statistically minded types here. What will the Covid death rate be without hospital treatment, or if the majority of critical cases cannot find hospital treatment?
I ask because I do not see any way that Delta infections will not outrun the available facilities, and by a huge margin. I mean like 20-1 or worse. So far, the low death rate outside the well-known (and now fairly well vaccinated) high risk groups has still required professional, high intensity medical intervention in many cases. TFG himself is an example. Without the best possible treatment, he would obviously have been dead meat.

I am not an expert but I think there is a real chance of an apocalyptic disaster.

Picked up a musicman sterling 34 from musiciansfriend. plugged it in, said, “god, this sucks.” changed out the strings for some rotosound 66’s and suddenly it sounds like a bass not purchased from jc penney. So, either ernie ball strings just suck on basses (they’re like 15 bucks a set, which is incredibly cheap for bass strings), or the starter strings are the cheapest things ernie ball can find to put on their guitars. I mean, this is possible. The guitar was 780 bucks, after the sales guy found a 15% discount off-menu for me. They’re made in Indonesia, so I’m sure their margins are good, but i’d guess there’s a significant temptation to say, ” 30 bucks for a decent string set, or 10 bucks for our piece-of-shit strings and we pocket the 20: let’s do the latter.”

Interesting bit of fallout locally (and literally) from the 17 Year cicada event earlier this month. Something that I had never heard of before.

A lot of local folks are complaining of itchy welts. Apparently from oak itch mites.

The 17 year cicada eggs that were laid in June and July are hatching now. And the resulting larva descend to the ground and dig in for the next 17 years.

There have been articles on how some folks are unenthusiastic about having the falling cicada larva end up in their hair.

Apparently there is a very small mite that lives in oak tree crowns and eats other bugs that live up there.

And apparently they are eating the cicada larva as well. With the massive new food source, the mite populations are going gang-busters. (Technical term)

However, the mites can also ride the larva down to the ground. And if they land on someone, their bite can cause an itchy welt.

Fortunately, the cicada hatch is almost over. And hopefully the mite problem as well.

And at least they aren’t drop bears…

The Raleigh one was owned by a teenager who had his own YouTube channel. I did not bother to see if it was monetized. And, reportedly there were posted Social Media videos of him playing with it, outside of its cage, on his lawn. He had also been treated for venomous snakebites previously.

Needless to say, the neighbors and local constabulary are not amused. (Never anger your neighbors. They know where you live.)

H&R has one called the Tamer, available in .410 or 20 gauge. This is very light so I think the 20 might be a handful (excuse the expression).
Various companies, originally H. Koon of Fort Worth, have had “Snake Charmer” as an actual trademark. It’s apparently been out of production since 2009.
I use the same kind of mix you do in the Ruger Super Blackhawk I carry around the farm, usually two shotshells and 4 heavy bullets. For all its fearsome reputation the .44 Mag is actually a fairly weak gun for wild hogs, though the likely short range in a self defense situation would help a lot. The critters are that tough.

Shiplord Kirel: Fan of USPS, Goodyear, and Oreo  Aug 4, 2021 • 8:39:54pm

There is a very funny (if you have a rough sense of humor) video of various slob-hunter nimrods being run down, gored, and knocked shitless by feral hogs they have set out to slaughter. One guy with camo clothes, a Rambo headband, and a regular space age high-tech compound bow sneaks up on a big boar and shoots an arrow into its backside from about 10 feet away, to no real affect except to piss the hog off. The hog pivots with almost supernatural grace and speed, runs right over the mighty hunter (destroying his expensive bow) and flees into the bushes. Nobody dies in the video and the injuries are apparently not too serious. Serious injuries do occur though, and at least one person in Texas (an innocent pedestrian rather than a hunter) has been killed by wild hogs.

We don’t have hogs here. Javelinas look kinda like pigs, but aren’t. A big male is about the size of a medium-large dog.

There are quite a few javelinas in Texas too. It seems that the big hogs have driven them into smaller and more remote ranges than they used to occupy though.

I wouldn’t want to tangle with a hog with .410 buck or .45LC, they’re barely enough for javelina, but I don’t always want to carry a .357.
