Lyrics:
I’m sitting here on the phone
Just listening to the dial tone
And if I dial I hope I find nobody home
I’ve been in pain unceasing and I tried to deep-breathe
The shape and texture makes a bottomless seethe
I can’t take the murk, so whatever works
I’ll take what you’ve got, to tame a beast I serve
I’m been loving, been loving, you
With a little help, from, the meds
With a little help from some, sympathetic souls
Embraced in a tender loving hold and it’s got me on this road
I’ve been straight-ahead, out the bed
Straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some, sympathetic souls
Embraced with a loving tender hold
I’d rather feel nothing than this
Wanted to stop feeling
Oh we’ve all had that wish
At the edges, at the margins
This feeling starts creeping in
Gets worse and worse, more and more
But my dull eyes have brightened,
oh they’re brighter

I am torn about Navarro; I think he understands that he is lying about the election and is a malevolent weasel, but then wonder if he is just a well-educated gullible Lindell. He certainly was correct to raise the alarm at the outset of the pandemic, but he has repeatedly demonstrated an adulation for Trump, that suggests he is a true believer.

McConnell is fine with a white supremacist-run autocracy; he has no concern about discarding votes of people of color. His opposition to the Hawley and Cruz efforts were based on his knowledge that Pence’s refusal to play Trump’s game and Pelosi’s control of the House meant that decertification would fail and he believed that the attempt would cause problems for the GOP. If the GOP controlled the House, he would likely have been totally supportive of this coup. His objection to the Navarro plan was that it would fail; if he thought it could succeed, he would have supported it.

A Chinese woman dropped almost $16,000 on drones to celebrate her dog’s birthday with an elaborate aerial display — but authorities have a bone to pick with her for the stunt.
The woman, who has not been identified, rented 520 of the flying machines to form the message “Happy 10th birthday to Doudou” in the sky over the Xiangjiang River in Changsha, the South China Morning Post reported.
The drones then flew in formations that formed patterns of a birthday cake as the pet lover and her friends serenaded Doudou with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
The woman apparently chose the number 520 on purpose because its Mandarin pronunciation sounds similar to the phrase, “I love you,” according to the news outlet.

Shoving garlic cloves up your nose is snot a good idea.
One of the new year’s most hazardous trends isn’t just odious — it reeks of pseudoscience, experts said.
The harebrained hack has unofficial healers corking up their nostrils with raw garlic cloves for approximately 10 to 15 minutes in attempt to unclog a stuffy snout.
After the user removes the garlic, a flash flood of mucus gushes from their noses, prompting the semblance and sensation of actual decongestion. But what’s really happening is far from therapeutic, Erich Voigt, associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at NYU Langone Health, told The Post.
“It’s terrible,” the ear, nose and throat expert said.
“The body wants to immediately expel the garlic and its chemicals, so it’s creating an overflow of mucus to flush out that irritant,” he continued, noting that the new crop of mucus is adding to the collection of clotted phlegm that originally caused the nasal congestion.
“And because the nose is plugged up, the mucus can’t circulate like it would if you were breathing in and out, it’s just accumulating,” he said.
In other words, that deluge of snot TikTokers observed is merely a product of their own doing. “It’s not the mucus that was trapped in there due to the disease or virus, it’s the production of mucus meant to get the garlic out,” Voigt said.

It’s also a good reminder that the BLS revisions have increased job gains under Biden, and that the worst month of job growth under Biden is still better than ~75% of job numbers under Trump.
Now the counter-spin is that Bidenflation is eating up any gains made in jobs and wages.

Yeah. I had a discussion about this very thing with a friend of mine who had shared an article written by a person who lived in Sri Lanka during the last part of the civil war. The institutions of government were falling apart and people were still going dancing. (That’s really not the gist of the article, but only a 1 sentence impression.) Then I moved on to MTG’s idea of a “National Divorce” and said, but “what about banks, large corporations, etc? I can’t see Coca-Cola liking a civil war, or my evil too big to fail employer.”
I’m not sure I see a civil war in the future, but I actually could see a low grade civil conflict raging on for years, a battle here, a battle there, etc. These are awful thoughts to have on the 364th day since the insurrection. But we must think them.

It’s lower risk if you’re fully vaxxed and boosted.

You’re at highest risk if you’re not vaccinated and don’t mask.
Mild cases are those that can produce prolonged symptoms, like loss of smell/taste, shortness of breath, heart issues, etc. Even a mild covid case can be far worse than any flu.
And even those cases are clogging up ERs, urgent cares, and PCPs. Only way to get past all this is everyone vaccinating and masking and the same people who refuse to vaccinate are those who openly fight mandates. They’re the ones hardest hit by covid, and will see the highest per capita hospitalizations, ICU, and death rates.

While it looks so far like congressional redistricting is not reducing the number of safe democratic districts, what is happening is that the number of competitive districts is being reduced. For example, in Kentucky the GOP is not attempting to crack the 3rd congressional district currently represented by John Yarmuth, so it will remain Democratic leaning, and Yarmuth’s successor is likely to be a Democrat. What they did do, however, is remove the state Capitol, Frankfort, in Franklin County, which leans Democratic, from the 6th Congressional District to make the 6th much less competitive, and moved it into the heavily Republican First Congressional District. You can see on this map that the 1st, which begins in the far West next to the Mississippi River, has a long tail snaking between several other districts up to Franklin County, the epitome of a Gerrymander.
The map snakes the 1st Congressional District starting at the tip of Western Kentucky all the way to Frankfort. https://t.co/digwnYRbZl

Just typical gerrymandering.

The First District is so heavily Republican that adding Franklin County to it does not make it competitive either.

I don’t like it, and I can complain to my elected representatives about it, but the GOP has a supermajority in the Kentucky General Assembly and SCOTUS gave its blessing to partisan gerrymandering, so they will draw the districts any way they want.

A far bigger problem is COVID fatigue amongst front-line medical personnel. They are sick of putting up with anti-vaxxers’ shit, and are quitting their jobs and going elsewhere. You want to know why we’re having a personnel shortage in the middle of a pandemic, right when we need them the most? Because you stupid anti-vax fuckers are EVIL and are ABUSING them just because they won’t give your loved one horse paste.

Unvaccinated carriers infecting other (vaccinated) workers also contribute to a personnel shortage.
Again, if you want to remain unvaccinated, then I guess that is your personal choice, but be prepared to face the consequences of your free and sovereign choices. Go find a job that does not require regular close contact with other people.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles MacKay
I read this when I was quite young. I couldn’t have imagined at the time that doing so would eventually be a critical factor in my financial success. I’ve had the experience several times of watching associates, competitors, and all-knowing investment gurus predictably lose their shirts on some kind of bubble that should have been obvious. It is like watching a trainwreck in slow motion.
The dot com bubble of the late 90s was probably the most extreme example. I advised one soon-to-be-broke enthusiast to read MacKay, with special attention to Tulipmania. He scoffed. “What the hell would a 150 year old book have to do with what is going on now?” Turns out its importance could be measured in the billions of dollars. People who saw the bubble early kept their money, those who didn’t saw theirs disappear down a rathole.
It’s occurred to me that the gun buying craze, now in its 12th year, is at least in part a kind of bubble, since some (though not all) of the driving force is the expectation that the product involved will soon be banned.
Why hasn’t this bubble burst? It appears that a cabal of scam artists, allied to fascist politicians, have created an almost burst proof bubble. The gullibility of their audience, and the dark skill of their propagandists,, allow them to constantly move the finish line, maintaining the fear of an imminent ban year and year out. Racist demogogery and fearmongering are part of it, to be sure, but the speculative expectation of a ban is the factor that explains the gun nut tendency to buy 20 or 30 or 50 guns when one or two would meet any foreseeable need.

So shit is going down in a big way in Kazakhstan today, which seems to be a surprise to most people. The protestors have taken over a number of government buildings (and several are on fire), many of the airports, and simply grabbed riot vehicles from the cops while the cops and National Guard just sit there. The government has resigned (for what it’s worth), and it looks like a bunch of private aircraft fucked off to Western Europe before the protestors got to the airports.
The country has had the same sort of kleptocratic autocracy that a lot of Central Asian countries got stuck with, and that’s the root of this, but it’s surprising to me that the protestors want such a sharp break from Moscow. That wasn’t in the initial demands of Ukrainian or Belarusian protestors, but it ended up that way because Putin can’t tolerate any sort of democratic government in what he considers Russia’s possessions. Maybe the protestors are just getting ahead of the game.

Pretty much what I posted in early December, from my friend who is an infectious disease faculty in a department with a #29 ranking world-wide:
The State Health Officer for Alabama (even Sisyphus must feel sorry for him)
“The take-home point from what’s going on right now is that the omicron variant that is becoming the predominant variant in this country is incredibly contagious,” Harris said. “It is much more contagious than the delta variant.

re: #185 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
I am waiting for all the Putinversteher over at moonofalabama.org to start explaining how this is a Western Capitalist Warmongering ploy to surround Russia with hostile governments in advance of colonizing Russia and taking its resources…
It looks like the tankies have now mostly figured out where Kazakhstan is and who are the good anti-Western patriots and who are the nasty pro-Western stooges, so should be good to go soon.
This does seem to fuck things up for Putin’s little power play in Ukraine. To my view, this protest and the scale and speed of it took everyone by surprise, West and East. Russia is stretched covering the self-caused crises it had before, and now it’s got a nice big new one on its borders.

//So,
in fairness to manchin, i just read an article that indicates he is willing to put in place some filibuster reforms, and without killing the filibuster, they’d be pretty significant. they’d do away, for instance, with the ability to filibuster a bill before it’s even gotten to the floor for debate. there’s also some indication he may be open to a talking filibuster, though he needs some sense of how a talking filibuster could be brought to an end. One reform that might help, and that he sounds like he’s in favor of, is removing the supermajority requirement and going to 3/5’s of members present. So if Republicans want to filibuster all night, they’d best be willing to stay awake all night and be present on the floor.

FWIW, Antonio Brown lived homeless on the streets of Miami from the age of 16 until he accepted a football scholarship at the University of Miami. His mother kicked him out of their apartment because his being there interfered with her boyfriends and lifestyle.
He obviously knows how to take care of his physical health otherwise he wouldn’t be able to play professional football at the level he is capable of. And he may be an asshole.
But he needs counseling on how to take care of his mental health as well.

re: #142 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
People are fed up with politicians and politics as usual but when they see a map like that, they just shrug and accept it as politics as usual.
Then they vote - mostly out of protest - for some idiot who promises to be an outsider and to come in and clean things up.
Much of the time it may be more that they vote against the insider who has irritated them — thinking, mistakenly, that any alternative can’t be worse. In primaries, the situation is usually very different — most people don’t vote there and they believe that magically the incumbent, who they may like, will automatically get re-elected. For example, AOC won because people didn’t bother voting in primaries.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signs posthumous pardon for Homer Plessy, the Black man central to Supreme Court’s 1896 “separate but equal” ruling.https://t.co/FKj3Hstivs
— The Associated Press (@AP) January 5, 2022
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s governor planned to posthumously pardon Homer Plessy on Wednesday, more than a century after the Black man was arrested in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow a Jim Crow law creating “whites-only” train cars.
The Plessy v Ferguson case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ushered in a half-century of laws calling for “separate but equal” accommodations that kept Black people in segregated schools, housing, theaters and other venues.
Gov. John Bel Edwards scheduled the pardon ceremony for a spot near where Plessy was arrested in 1892 for breaking a Louisiana law requiring Black people to ride in cars that the law described as “equal but separate” from those for white customers. The date is close to the 125th anniversary of Plessy’s guilty plea in New Orleans.

I remember 1/6/2021 very clearly. I was in my front office, as I have been since I moved upstairs into the office in the fall of 2020. It was a relatively mild day for early January here, and I had hung the flag outside in anticipation of the formal tallying of the electoral votes. I knew little of the upcoming rally and expected that, like most Trump rallies in those later days, it would just be a handful of people with stupid signs that we would make fun of and then it’d dissipate. I was woefully unprepared for what happened. I think I was online here when shit started going down and I turned on the news. As events unfolded, I wandered outside and took down my flag.

I don’t need to worry about what’s in a vaccine, the manufacturers and state/federal agencies have explained it in detail.
I am just as unimportant (not so worried about being tracked — I avoid it if I can, on general principles), but that hasn’t saved any of the people caught in the crossfire at drive-by shootings, or in the crowd for the random ones. As dopefish says, many “smart” appliances can kill you.
