According to this obituary, Natasha died on October 12, 2021. She leaves behind her husband and 4 school aged children. She wasn’t a wild-poster of anti-vaxx memes and information, but as you’ll see we have evidence she was against the vaccine and particularly the mandates.

CPBBD posted this yesterday. Sounds like a fun project:
Attention to all CPBBD viewers in the US with lawns that they’ve been wanting to destroy but who haven’t quite gotten up the nerve or motivation to do it yet :
Crime Pays has a project in the works that involves removing (killing) a vacuous green suburban turf and replacing it with a lush and vibrant native plant garden with regionally local native plants. We will turn a bland and sterile front yard into a pollinator buffet, all for free, and film it in the process.
If this sounds like something you might be into, please write us at killyourlawn44@gmail.com with a description of your situation, where you live, and a good way to contact you.
We are preferably looking for people that live in places where lawns make the least sense, like the desert Southwest, but no turf is too good to be destroyed. Unless they are being used for sports or for kids to play on, lawns are a silly and banal idea and status symbol that needs to die with much of the other obsolete ideas of the last century. But this doesn’t even need to be any silly political shit, lawns are just boring and a pain in the ass. Why not create habitat and restore some of your region’s native ecology instead?
When I bought a property in the ‘burbs of San Diego I made sure to have no turf. All garden or wild growth.

In 2011, Breivik slaughtered 77 people in Norway in furtherance of his right wing ideology. The fanatics who support Trump are capable of committing similar atrocities.
Our normal level of violence is a terrible indictment of our policies on both guns and crime; but until the Trump menace has been obliterated and the Republican Party has been replaced by a sane conservative party, we are facing far more serious threats to our survival.

A very RW girl friend (who rarely posts anything political) just got her booster shot and had even a worse experience than before — her blood pressure skyrocketed (as happened with her second shot) and this time it also triggered a massive a-fib, which she handled through medication. She does have known cardiac problems, but had been adamant about getting the third shot because she felt that a few days of discomfort were far better than contracting Covid.

Catching up on an older post from way downstairs…
I was curious about the reported shark attack(s) in Missouri.
Apparently it was one attack back in 1996 when Bob nipped Kathi on the hand in the fish tank. He apparently thought that her hand was a fish.
The Rolla Daily News
July 28, 2019
There is one case of a shark attack in Missouri on record in the Shark Research Institute’s Global Shark Attack Files.The incident took place in a fish tank in 1996 while 32-year-old Kathi Peters and her husband, Marco, Peters, were performing in a 9,000-gallon tank containing six nurse sharks at the St. Louis Boat and Sports Show when she inadvertently placed her hand at the bottom of the fish tank during the show. She sustained five puncture marks on both sides of her hand from a nurse shark named Bob. The Deseret News covered the incident and published an article “Shark show performer bitten” on Monday, Feb. 19, 1996, saying, “Peters, 32, inadvertently placed her hand at the bottom of the 9,000-gallon fish tank while swimming during Saturday’s show. Nurse sharks eat from the bottom of the ocean, and to one of the sharks named Bob, the hand must have looked like a fish.”

Yup. Remember “The Spy Who Loved Me” where James Bond skied off like an 800 foot cliff, removed his skis, pulled a chute and got away?

So the gf and I have had our 2 Pfizer’s and the booster, and both tested positive for covid this week. Closest we can figure how we got it was we were at and outdoor concert (masked up) or a Southwest flight from vegas to Salt Lake to watch a hockey game (to get in the arena you had to be vaccinated or a negative test within 72 hrs to get in).That was around Sept 30th. So last Friday she lost her smell and taste and felt flu like for 2 days. I was asymptomatic.
As of today she feels good and I’m still fine.
I firmly believe the vaccine made it possible to come away with her only being down for a couple days (she told me she has had worse flus before this) and me having no effects.
It turns out an old libertarian friend and un-vaxed had covid earlier this year and today was in the covid clinic because of long haul effects.
We have another test this Friday to see if we’re Covid free

A new CNN/SSRS poll released on Wednesday found that only 25% of Americans believe their family would be better off with the passage of Biden’s $3.5 trillion social spending bill and a $1 trillion infrastructure measure. Some 32% said they would be worse off and 43% say that they would be about the same. Majorities of key constituencies of the Democratic coalition — including independent women, Black people, Latinos, and those younger than 35 — say they would not be affected by these bills.

the continuing saga of academic life for the adjunct: having blind-copied my chair my response to the undergrad coordinator on my recent thoroughly mendacious, impromptu performance review, and sent a more contextual email to him to try to put him in the loop, I now haven’t heard from him for a couple of days, and we’re in Fall break now. This is causing me some concern, because most of the things it could mean for me are mostly bad. There is one possibility that he spent Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday trying to figure out what on earth is going on, but the most likely possibility is that I am now being ghosted and will discover that my spring courses are suddenly no longer in my canvas shell. I kind of need the chair to respond because my next step is to try to set up a meeting with the chair and with the provost of academic affairs. I need to more formally express my concerns at a level that can actually provide me some insulation from the Dean, who is the main seeming driver in all of this, for reasons that are a mystery to me, and that I hope will seem an equal mystery to the administrative level above him.

Winter is coming, as they say here in the north lands. I’m currently knocked on my ass with a groovy head cold - no fever, but my sinuses are blocked and I can feel drainage in the back of my throat. I actually freaked Mrs. Fish out last night, when she came to take my temperature and she claimed I was burning up, but the thermometer said otherwise.

Reality: GOP obstructionists and saboteurs refuse to fight covid nearly as hard as fighting Democrats trying to help people.— lawhawk #vaxxingforafriend (@lawhawk) October 14, 2021
And we start today with a TexASS mystery!
Did he or did he not die from Covid?
Dr. Steve Beito, 62,New Braunfels, TX. Podiatrist, anti-vaxx, dead with COVID.
According to this obituary, Steve died on October 5, 2021. I received a private message from a “friend of a friend” of Steve’s from the same small community of New Braunfels, Texas where Steve lives. He and his wife got COVID and Steve eventually entered the Hospital and subsequently died of cardiac arrest. Naturally, the family and community wants to keep the cause of death a secret as it is rather scandalous for a doctor of Steve’s reputation to 1) Be anti-vaxx 2). Not get vaccinated. 3) Die do to complications driven by a COVID infection.
DISCLAIMER: There is a possibility that COVID had nothing to do with his death. Seems unlikely to me that it had nothing to do with it after reading this article which states “SCA [Sudden Cardiac Arrest] incidence was significantly higher and survival outcomes lower during the COVID-19 pandemic period, with evidence of overlap between the two conditions”

I would respect the “deeply held religious belief” that medicines developed from fetal cell lines are immoral, if they applied that principle to all medicines developed from fetal cell lines. There was a pastor out there who pointed out a list of at least 30 common medications people take without a second thought that were developed using fetal cell lines. People need to quit freaking the fuck out about fetuses and focus on the living, but we’ll never get there as long as people cling to Jeremiah 1:5:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
That’s it. That’s literally the hook the religious wingnuts are hanging their hat on in order to cling to their anti-abortion, anti-fetal-cell-research bullshit. There’s nothing there that says specifically that the fetus is a person; in fact, there’s some indication that the Lord is referring to another concept entirely, as the verse starts with the line, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” That would be Jeremiah’s soul, which was marked as a prophet’s soul before his body was created. It says nothing about the fetus itself being Jeremiah the prophet.

The form includes a list of 30 commonly used medicines that “fall into the same category as the COVID-19 vaccine in their use of fetal cell lines,” Conway Regional said.
The list includes Tylenol, Pepto Bismol, aspirin, Tums, Lipitor, Senokot, Motrin, ibuprofen, Maalox, Ex-Lax, Benadryl, Sudafed, albuterol, Preparation H, MMR vaccine, Claritin, Zoloft, Prilosec OTC, and azithromycin.

We can only get at the real number by looking at excess deaths by comparing to data from prior years.

There’s always Jerry Lee Lewis who married his 13 year old cousin.
Co-CEO of Netflix going all in defending Dave Chapelle:
With The Closer, we understand that the concern is not about offensive-to-some content but titles which could increase real world harm (such as further marginalizing already marginalized groups, hate, violence etc.) Last year, we heard similar concerns about 365 Days and violence against women. While some employees disagree, we have a strong belief that content on screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm.
The strongest evidence to support this is that violence on screens has grown hugely over the last thirty years, especially with first party shooter games, and yet violent crime has fallen significantly in many countries. Adults can watch violence, assault and abuse - or enjoy shocking stand-up comedy - without it causing them to harm others. We are working hard to ensure marginalized communities aren’t defined by a single story. So we have Sex Education, Orange is the New Black, Control Z, Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chappelle all on Netflix. Key to this is increasing diversity on the content team itself.
In his special, Chappelle makes harsh jokes about many different groups, which is his style and a reason his fans love his comedy and commentary. Stand-up comedians often expose issues that are uncomfortable because the art by nature is a highly provocative. As a leadership team, we do not believe that The Closer is intended to incite hatred or violence against anyone (per our Sensitive Content guidelines).
We’ve had these operating principles around pleasing our members and artistic expression for many years, and the team’s decision to put The Closer on our service was consistent with them. The variety and quality of our content is what members value most. Our hope is that you can be hugely inspired by entertaining the world, while also living with titles you strongly believe have no place on Netflix. This will not be the last title that causes some of you to wonder if you can still love Netflix. I sincerely hope that you can.

Due to the local bears, the City has an ordinance that garbage bins are not to be placed at the curb before 0600. There’s also an ordinance that the garbage company can not start collecting before 0700. In my neighborhood garbage pick-up is not a problem as the company makes the collection rounds around 1100. There’s no morning emergency to get the can to the curb.
The recycle pick-up day is a whole different story. I think my house and street are the first pick-ups of the morning. The recycle truck arrives about 0701….every recycle pick-up day. Of course this means getting up at o’dark thirty to get the can out. I need my rest!

re: #177 Cheechako
We have the same schedule for garbage and recycling pick-ups, except I must be near the end of their routes; both pickups occur within a few minutes of each other, around 1:00-2:00 PM. The big thing is that on recycling days, if we’ve had a lot of recycling (which we noticed a lot more during the pandemic, with the uptick in Amazon orders), I have two recycling cans to set out, which makes it difficult for Mrs. Fish to get her car out of the driveway to pick up the minions after school. So I am usually tensely waiting for the pickup to occur so that I can get the cans, at least some of them, in from the driveway prior to her departure.

Alex Murdaugh will be charged criminally in the missing $4.3 million insurance proceeds owed to the estate of his late housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield. Murdaugh was taken into custody Thursday morning by the State Law Enforcement Division and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at a rehabilitation facility in Orange County, Florida, his attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin told The State. Murdaugh will head back to South Carolina, where he’ll face two felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses, SLED said.

I’m not saying he’s wrong, although he may be. What I was sort of getting at is that, as journalists, we should probably focus on whether something is racist rather than whether calling it racist is good or bad strategy.
— Dan Froomkin/presswatchers.org (@froomkin) October 14, 2021
This is why the GOP can get away with the bullshit anti-CRT mania stuff and insane racist gerrymanders and the like: the press continues to treat racism as a matter of strategy and bloodless pragmatism as if it was just calling balls and strikes, while completely ignoring the actual fucking human costs of this kind of shit. It’s self-fulfilling BS that coddles racists by treating them as untouchable precisely because of their racism, and acting like calling it out is worse than the racism itself because white backlash must ALWAYS be coddled.

During The Closer, Chappelle maintains that “gender is a fact.” He goes on to say that “every human being in this room, every human being on Earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on Earth,” before likening trans women’s genitalia to two brands of plant-based meat substitutes.
Chappelle also declares his support for Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has been condemned for comments deemed anti-trans. The comedian states that he is proudly “Team TERF,” an initialism that stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. He also contrasts homophobic remarks made by rapper DaBaby with systemic racism.

It would be very detectable. The Mythbusters crew had 250,000 of us jumping “simultaneously” on the National Mall for the Rally to Restore Sanity. They had a link to the Smithsonian seismographs, and could evaluate our performance.
Neither being a racist or a transphobe are illegal per se until someone actively denies these people their rights due to their race or sexual orientation.
That is the catch.
But the way our media work, they focus on the sensation of using certain words and the reaction to them rather than simply pointing out that the person using them is probably a dickhead and not an “outspoken advocate” of any sort of “white/straight/cis-persons’ rights”

It’s all a bit shady (like everything else associated with Murdaugh.) She died after a trip and fall “accident” at the Murdaugh home. He “took responsibility” for the death (whatever that means), per the insurance claims, and all the money was supposed to go to her sons. Then, he hooked the kids up with his old college roommate to handle the claims (that guy’s law license has also been suspended) and re-routed the $ to some bogus account.
Supposedly, they’re taking another look at the housekeeper’s death (as well as the friend of the the other son, who was found dead in the road—from a “hit and run” but with no sign of any hit or run) now that all these other deaths/near deaths have come to light.

BREAKING NEWS - Recycle Pick-up Delayed by Unknown Circumstances
My local recycle trash pick-up was late this morning. Normally arriving at 0701, this morning the crew was way behind schedule, arriving at 0727. Local speculation is the crew may have stopped for coffee and doughnuts.
Like Anymouse, it’s time to go back to bed.
Say, I didn’t see anyone post a link about the actual reasons for the Southwest cancel-cascade yet, and I got curious.
As it turns out, it was the result of over-optimization of their scheduling, combined with their determination to prioritize nonstop flights over hub-and-spoke routing.
They’d already been suffering worst-in-industry cancellation rates and postponements through the summer, with labor gripes stemming from the need to shuttle their pilots around between cities to match them up with planes needing crews. They apparently trimmed the budget down to zero redundancy, which means the slightest hiccup can lead to a chain reaction of failure.
Enter a single day of short-staffed air traffic control at one airport, combine with military maneuvers clogging up the air lanes, and suddenly that one day turns into a week of reverberating cancellations as they leave the planes sitting at the wrong airports for their leveraged-to-the-hilt schedule to use. And since Southwest doesn’t have hubs, those grounded planes were all over the map, useless to fill in for other missing flights.
That’s also why the situation isn’t causing crises at other airlines. It’s just them, and the airline, FAA, pilots’ union, and mechanics’ union are unanimous in their reports that it has nothing whatsoever to do with vaccine mandates.
I love Seth, but I got a little frustrated when his “closer look” didn’t look closely enough to explain the real situation. So, here y’all go.

The thread goes on, but it shows how much of the anti-trans arguments overall hinge on a small number of cases that absolutely collapse under scrutiny. To accept them requires a prejudice that refuses to accept the underlying facts so they can justify their codified bigotry.

A dog has been rescued after being trapped in a narrow, rocky crevice of an upstate New York park for five days without food or water, authorities said.
The 12-year-old dog named Liza had been hiking with a woman when the small, furry pooch fell out of sight into a passage Oct. 7 in Minnewaska State Park Preserve in Ulster County, state park officials said.
Park authorities weren’t immediately able to get into the tight fissure to help the barking dog and spent the following days getting a camera into the narrow area to check on the animal’s condition.
On Tuesday, the operation called in two members of the New Jersey Initial Response Team, a volunteer group specializing in cave rescues, to attempt to get into the passage.
Rescuer Jessica Van Ord — the smallest of the group — was ultimately able to force her way into the crevice, shimmying all the way down to the flat dirt bottom.

‘Shameful and dangerous’: Oklahoma woman faces 4 years in prison for miscarriage
Twenty-year-old Brittney Poolaw was sentenced last week to four years in prison after being convicted of first-degree manslaughter, a charge that was applied to a miscarriage she experienced last year.
After seeking medical attention at Comanche County Hospital for the pregnancy loss, which happened early last year when Poolaw was 17 weeks pregnant, she was arrested in March 2020 and incarcerated with her bond set at $20,000. Unable to afford bail, Poolaw has now spent more than 18 months behind bars for her miscarriage.

After white students displayed Confederate flag at school, Black students suspended for planning protest https://t.co/bAvs0FQ3jI pic.twitter.com/H7uF9Zlawk
— The Hill (@thehill) October 14, 2021
Last week, a group of students at Coosa High School in Rome, Ga., were filmed waving the Confederate flag and hurling racial slurs.
Newsweek reported that the four students filmed were carrying the Confederate flag in favor of “farm day” on school spirit day, which led up to homecoming.
They did not face any repercussions.
In response, many students said the school did not do much to reprimand the students carrying the flag; and there was a protest planned to bring awareness to the problem, CBS 46 Atlanta reported.
However, the school administration suspended several students who were planning the protest. Student protesters tell CBS 46 that only Black students were suspended.
“The administration is aware of tomorrow’s planned protest,” the administrator said over the intercom before the planned demonstration. “Police will be present here at school and if students insist on encouraging this kind of activity they will be disciplined for encouraging unrest.”
Two white students participating in the Friday protest were not suspended, even though they claimed to be as disruptive as the Black students, CBS reported..

re: #272 No Malarkey!
Very soon in most of the country, having a miscarriage will be probable cause for a murder investigation.
Welp, way back in 2011, Georgia already went there:
State Rep. Bobby Franklin of Georgia introduced a bill that would require proof that a miscarriage occurred naturally. If a woman can’t prove that her miscarriage-or spontaneous abortion-occurred without intervention, she could face felony charges.
Some of the more ridiculous/insane wording in the bill include:
“Justice Blackmun, writing for the majority in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973),
wrote: ‘when those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer [to the question of when life begins].
“The General Assembly knows the answer to that difficult question, and that answer is life begins at the moment of conception.”
Per care2.com at the time:
“Franklin wants to create a Uterus Police to investigate miscarriages, and requires that any time a miscarriage occurs, whether in a hospital or without medical assistance, it must be reported and a fetal death certificate issued. If the cause of death is unknown, it must be investigated. If the woman can’t tell how it happened, than those Uterus Police can ask family members and friends how it happened. Hospitals are required to keep records of anyone who has a spontaneous abortion and report it. Yup, we’ve been waiting for someone to suggest this-and Franklin has. Needless to say, there are no exceptions allowed. Not for rape victims. Not for incest victims. Not to save the life and health of the mother (the fetus must get equal care).”

In this case, it’s having a miscarriage by being poor and unable to afford a good lawyer that is the underlying crime. According to the article, it sounds like the charge was that the miscarriage was a byproduct of the woman’s recreational use of illegal drugs.

“…I hated the establishment, Republicans, and Democrats, and Hillary was the target because she was as establishment as it got and was the only candidate that was all but guaranteed to be running on the main ticket in the future 2016 cycle,” said Willis. “If I were to choose a lesser evil at the time, it would have, without a doubt, been the Republican Party, since I had moved to the new city due to the Democrats literally destroying my previous home state. It felt like good revenge.”
It’s obscene how much power to disrupt our lives he had.

Also in that article—this woman got shot and was charged with manslaughter for bringing it on herself. Yikes.
Also in 2019, Marshae Jones was charged with manslaughter in Alabama for experiencing a miscarriage after being shot, with police blaming Jones for starting a dispute with another woman and prosecutors saying she violated the state’s “fetal personhood” law.
In otherwords, pregnancy immediately cedes all your bodily rights to the fetus and women are legally given the status of ‘incubator’ upon conception. Total erasure of the mother except for culpability. No rights, only blame.

But none dare call it racism. Because it makes white people feel bad, thus it cannot be true and saying it is should be subject to the fullest persecution of the law. White feelings must be maintained, after all. //////

I know there’s a new thread, but this goes here—again from 2011:
“In Alabama at least 40 cases have been brought under the state’s “chemical endangerment” law. Introduced in 2006, the statute was designed to protect children whose parents were cooking methamphetamine in the home and thus putting their children at risk from inhaling the fumes. Amanda Kimbrough is one of the women who have been ensnared as a result of the law being applied in a wholly different way.[…]The baby was delivered by caesarean section prematurely in April 2008 and died 19 minutes after birth. Six months later Kimbrough was arrested at home and charged with “chemical endangerment” of her unborn child on the grounds that she had taken drugs during the pregnancy - a claim she has denied.
“Rennie Gibbs was 15 when she became pregnant and lost her baby in a stillbirth. Prosecutors charged her with a “depraved heart murder” after they discovered she had used cocaine, although there was “no evidence that drug abuse had anything to do with the baby’s death.” She now faces life in prison in Mississippi.
“At least 38 states have introduced fetal homicide laws that were intended to be used against violent attacks by third parties like abusive male partners. But in South Carolina, only one case has been brought against a man for assaulting a pregnant woman, while up to 300 women have been arrested under the law, according to the National Advocates for Pregnant Women.”
