CDC says 20,000 people may have been exposed to measles at Asbury University religious revival (CBS News, March 1, 2023)
An estimated 20,000 people attended a large religious gathering in Kentucky on the same days as a resident who was infected with measles last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday, with potential contacts who may have been exposed to the highly transmissible virus now spanning multiple states and countries.
The CDC is urging doctors to “be on high alert for measles symptoms” among people who attended the gathering and is actively working with Kentucky authorities to search for additional cases.
“Community transmission of measles in connection with this event is possible, particularly among unvaccinated or under-vaccinated individuals,” CDC spokesperson Scott Pauley said in a statement.

“The first three witnesses to testify privately before the new Republican-led House committee investigating the ‘weaponization’ of the federal government have offered little firsthand knowledge of any wrongdoing or violation of the law, according to Democrats on the panel who have listened to their accounts,” reported Luke Broadwater and Adam Goldman. “Instead, the trio appears to be a group of aggrieved former F.B.I. officials who have trafficked in right-wing conspiracy theories, including about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, and received financial support from a top ally of former President Donald J. Trump.”

Thus far, recorded Covid-19 deaths worldwide are at 6.86 million. This is likely an underestimate, given the underreporting of fatalities in countries, such as China. More importantly, based on excess mortality calculations there’s mounting evidence that the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a massive toll on global life expectancy. Not since the famine in China in 1959, have we seen such a sharp decline in life expectancy worldwide.

MADRID (AP) — Forty-two families in Spain are pursuing legal action against a nurse whom they allege faked the process of administering routine vaccines to their children, their lawyer said Thursday.The nurse worked for 18 months at a government clinic in Santurtzi, near the city of Bilbao in the Basque region of northern Spain, according to attorney Aitzol Asla.
The regional health service began an investigation in October after receiving complaints about the health worker’s behavior.
When parents took their children to be vaccinated, Asla said, the nurse would inject them “very secretly, very fast,” and then “threw the vial directly into the garbage can.” Some of the parents “saw (the vial) was still full,” he added.
The nurse, who wasn’t identified, also made frequent comments disparaging vaccines, the lawyer said.
When health officials tested the affected children’s blood, it was discovered that many didn’t have the antibodies that would be expected from receiving the vaccines. The legal case centers on the nurse’s falsification of vaccine records, which showed jabs had been administered when they allegedly hadn’t, and misuse of public funds by throwing away unused medicines.

A Doctor’s War Against the Right-Wing Medical-Freedom Movement (New Republic, February 28, 2023)
Hulda Clark was at the convention, of course. At 76, the dark-haired Canadian naturopath was still going strong, attending natural health expos like this one to publicize and sell her “Zapper,” a unit that looked and operated like a scaled-down version of a car battery with jumper cables and was supposed to cleanse the body of cancer-causing parasites. Charlotte Gerson was there, too, talking about “Gerson Therapy,” a diet-based cancer treatment that can cost more than $15,000. Then there was Kurt Donsbach, an unlicensed chiropractor whose legal troubles had pushed him to locate his alternative cancer hospital in Mexico.
Plenty of healers of lesser reputation were also in attendance, hawking vitamins, minerals, energy bars, and healing crystals. The event seemed like classic L.A.—a consumerist expression of the region’s dedication to holistic approaches to health, wellness, and spirituality. But this gathering, the brainchild of Indiana-based supplements manufacturer Wendell W. Whitman, was different. It was 2005, and the expo was—arguably—the moment when alternative healers began to find a potent political voice.
Whitman and his lobbying group, the HealthKeepers Alliance, had come to California in an effort to harmonize the disparate worldviews of the leftist alternative practitioners celebrating mindfulness and the right-wing free-market libertarians celebrating mind-your-own-businessness. The result was this event, which Whitman branded America’s first “Health Freedom Expo.”

One of the things I always appreciated about the design of the Xenomorph is that it was such a genuinely otherworldly-looking creature. Very different from the otherwise vaguely human or humanoid extraterrestrials so often seen in sci-fi.

Jaws worked on the same principle. Spielberg desperately tried to get his mechanical shark to work, and just kept failing b/c the mechanicals failed in salt water (something his engineers had not considered or testing).
This forced him to make necessary cuts to limit on-screen time for the shark. That’s why most of the shots of the shark attacks are implied in the action. This made it all the more scary, and is why so many refuse to go into the water even to this day.

There is a reason for that white Christian nationalism in the FBI.
The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover: How the FBI Aided and Abetted the Rise of White Christian Nationalism
By: Lerone A. Martin
The shocking untold story of how the FBI partnered with white evangelicals to champion a vision of America as a white Christian nation
On a Sunday morning in 1966, a group of white evangelicals dedicated a stained glass window to J. Edgar Hoover. The FBI director was not an evangelical, but his Christian admirers anointed him as their political champion, believing he would lead America back to God. The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover reveals how Hoover and his FBI teamed up with leading white evangelicals and Catholics to bring about a white Christian America by any means necessary.
Lerone Martin draws on thousands of newly declassified FBI documents and memos to describe how, under Hoover’s leadership, FBI agents attended spiritual retreats and worship services, creating an FBI religious culture that fashioned G-men into soldiers and ministers of Christian America. Martin shows how prominent figures such as Billy Graham, Fulton Sheen, and countless other ministers from across the country partnered with the FBI and laundered bureau intel in their sermons while the faithful crowned Hoover the adjudicator of true evangelical faith and allegiance. These partnerships not only solidified the political norms of modern white evangelicalism, they also contributed to the political rise of white Christian nationalism, establishing religion and race as the bedrock of the modern national security state, and setting the terms for today’s domestic terrorism debates.

His initial limited budgets did him a favor. It’s the same story with the “new” cut of THX 1138: the original movie had this pervasive claustrophobic vibe to it, which just gets blown out of the water with the new green screen blockbuster Big Chase Scene shoved in the middle.

Similar thing with the first two Terminator movies. Cameron had a low budget for the first one, so it became a sort of techno-horror movie with limited special effects.
Now of course T2 was awesome, but you can tell Cameron had a much bigger budget because of the far higher number of chase things, shit blowing up and T1000 shapeshifting that’s in the movie.
While T2 is inarguably the franchises most iconic film, many diehard fans still prefer the original.

Jurassic Park’s iconic T-rex had similar problems with water. The biomechanical controls of the full-size model were set up to make the hydraulically-actuated head and upper body move in a natural fashion to avoid the uncanny-valley problem. It worked fine in the workshop then they took it to the set and sprayed it with water since the scene the were filming was set at night in a rainstorm. The sponge-backed skin of the model got waterlogged adding hundred of kilos of weight in the wrong places and this threw off the preprogrammed control systems, making it jerk around and almost disassemble itself before someone got to the stop switch.

One of my favorite bits of trivia about The Terminator is that the budget and schedule were so tight that they couldn’t afford the necessary permits to film on the streets at night. So they engaged in guerilla shoots, showing up scene, assembling things as quickly as possible, filming the scene, and then booking it. So it was “Cut! Print! Now run before the cops get here!” They did get caught one time, so Cameron acted in the responsible way: He told a massive lie. He told the cops that they were film students and they didn’t realize they needed permits to shoot at that location.

Trump to pitch creation of ‘freedom cities’ filled with flying cars
Trump’s plan, shared in advance with POLITICO, calls for holding a contest to design and create up to ten new “Freedom Cities,” built from the ground up on federal land. It proposes an investment in the development of vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles; the creation of “hives of industry” sparked by cutting off imports from China; and a population surge sparked by “baby bonuses” to encourage would-be-parents to get on with procreation. It is all, his team says, part of a larger nationwide beautification campaign meant to inspire forward-looking visions of America’s future.
And let me guess…those “Freedom Cities” will be for Rich White Xtians only…

re: #167 Colère Tueur de Lapin

On the ground you’re sandwiched into 2 or 3 lanes of traffic with thousands of other cars, with animal, pedestrian, cyclist, and pothole obstacles.
Flying, by comparison, would be like driving on a 1000 lane, multi level road. No potholes, no stopped vehicles, no deer (though some birds). Etc.
Unless the ‘flying cars’ were fully autonomous, I imagine that a pilot’s license would be required, which would help to weed out the crazies.
But it’s all a moot point unless we have some serious breakthroughs in efficiency or power density.

There’s a reason for ATC. There’s a reason why if you’re anywhere near a city, somebody has you on radar and is giving you precise instructions. Why you need to be at least 500 feet horizontally from anybody else, and it’s dangerous to have somebody bigger than you above you that’ll catch you in their wake turbulence.

All true. In order for this to go mainstream, the vehicles would have to be fully autonomous, restricted to certain altitudes, and restricted from certain areas. And I’m sure that there are a dozen other issues I’m not foreseeing.

re: #182 JC1
Western nuclear power plants have reinforced concrete containment buildings. Other designs, like the Russian RBMKs, do not have such structures, and the consequences can be devastating (see Chernobyl). Flying a plane into the nuclear reactor building may be like a bug hitting a windshield, but you can do extreme damage flying into control buildings or the backup generators/interconnects, which means that the power at the plant is cut off from the grid, and if the power can’t be restored, you’d possibly get a Fukushima Daichi plant disaster on your hands if the power to cooling systems is not provided.

Of course the racist ring around Milwaukee proper gets a pass because blacks have been violently kept out of their precious communities for decades!
She believes the history of redlining and systemic racism caused her Black clients to stay within Milwaukee neighborhoods, instead of buying homes in the suburbs. Also, she says in her experience, “some of these neighborhoods are not welcoming even today for people of color. We all benefit when there is diversity and so when someone is selling their home, if they were to limit the buyers who come into the property, they are really shooting themselves in the foot.”

Most racist/segregated city I’ve ever been to has to be St. Louis. Without a doubt, it was a city of haves/have nots, and the lines were clearly drawn. Of course, I was also there just two weeks before Ferguson, so that colors things further.

E.T. does not need a fucking sequel. Leave the classics alone.
big doings at the pond this weekend
we bought a lot of new plants
gonna drain the pond 1/2 way down so we can stand o nthe shelves and see the bottom.
finish the slate wall from two years ago (about 8 feet around)
plant all the new plants and clean up the existing ones
we also bought a lot of non-pond plants for the field
we decided to start the six grow beds over. they were never really prepared right the first time. the grass and weeds just grew right back.
so we’ve dug up all the grass using a mattock going around the existing plantings.
next week we’ll rototill everything till it’s clean.
then we’re planting:
a sunflower house/arch
wildflower patch
elderberry and beautyberry patch
passionflowers along the fence line
coonties (Zamia integrifolia if you’re gonna be that way) in a new bed hoping to attract atala butterflies.
and we’ve been having fun with some butterfly bombs (no not the WWII stuff Episode 10) we got as a gift. we’ll plant a small patch of them too.
way too much work for just the two of us
we hired some young muscle (he did most of the mattock work)
there will be before and after pix. stay tuned

re: #133 Joe Bacon
I have relatives who insist that people have to wait years to get healthcare in Canada due to rationing.
When I bring up the fact that my pal Juul was diagnosed with cancer and surgery was scheduled the next day AND the only item he had to pay for was $50 for a monthly parking pass to the hospital garage they call me a liar. Juul is still on chemo and the cost to him is just that $50 monthly parking pass…he says he needs to gripe about something…oh and Juul said that if he was in the US he would have been forced to file for bankruptcy over medical bills…
I’ve told this story before, but my high school teacher sister had a Canadian student who insisted their healthcare system was nowhere near as decent as its rep. She now defaults to that position whenever the subject comes up.
What fucking kills me is that I phrase it as “Well, at least in Canada, if you lose your job, you don’t go bankrupt if you get sick.” She really struggles with that concept because like most Americans, she’s been quasi-brainwashed into believing that healthcare is a luxury that only the employed should get. And like most Americans, she can’t wrap her head around the fact that most Western democracies don’t do for-profit healthcare.

LOL, yeah, we’re coming out of our third case of cancer in four years here in Casa Del Mattand, and the foremost thought on both of our minds was “Jesus, I hope Wall Street makes a profit off of our potential fatal illnesses. We’d really hate to see them hurt by this.”
Hi. Dual citizen here. I have experience in both health care systems. The Canadian system is not flawless. It has its issues (long wait times for specialists [in some instances anyway] being one of them), but I still like it better than the for profit system that exists in this country.
I know full well if I lost my job I’d be fucked because - POOF - there goes my health coverage. It’s nice to NOT have to worry about that in Canada. Trust me, as a broke ass college student in the early aughts, I appreciated having easy access to health care (that would not ruin my credit) if I needed it.
It’s just too damn easy to look at a few case studies and say “system X is better than system Y because…”.
My mom, who lives in Canada, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. The speed at which she was diagnosed and treated (surgery and all) was pretty good all things considered.
Yes, some people die waiting to see a specialist or some such. That may not happen as much in America, but what DOES happen down here is people die because they cannot afford the lifesaving surgery they need and people die because they do not seek medical attention for issues (due to financial concerns) until it’s too late.
Also, again, so many people (who worked hard and “did it right” their entire life) bankrupted by medical debt in this nation.

Tax credits don’t help people who don’t make enough money to owe taxes. I think this includes anyone who is considered poverty-level.
Tax credits help wether you pay taxes or not. Tax deductions do not help if you don’t pay taxes.

Every time you set the record straight on this, I favorite the reply. Because, goddamn, I need all the backup I can get when trying to convince Americans there are better ways to do healthcare then our shitty-ass “Go die in a gutter, you fucking filthy peasant” system.

re: #215 Crush White Nationalism
Maybe we need Texas and Florida to fail as a lesson to other states that are tempted by the far-right. You can’t tell Republicans that what they’re doing is insane and destructive. They’ll just get mad no matter how tactful you are. You have to let them touch the stove and get burned.
People who aren’t insane and were unlucky enough to wind up in those states will also get burned, but I don’t see any way to reach Republicans before that happens.
Programs to help people move to sane states would be nice.
You can’t use either Texas or Florida as examples of potential Red State failure because they are outliers. A chimpanzee can be placed into powerful government positions in these two states and everything generally functions. Texas succeeds, because of its vast geography, proximity to important Mexico trade access and reliance on oil revenues to avoid state income taxes. And here in Florida, out of state tourists basically pay for everything with massive hotel taxes and plenty of other taxes and fees aimed squarely at those seeking warm weather and the coastal life.

It’s still the most segregated city I know of.
There were places where a street divided two ethnic neighborhoods and people did not cross the street for any reason. A very sad city to me.
The same streets divided the German, Italian and Polish neighborhoods. It was a process of learning to live together.
here in TheBackwoods of eastern Kentucky, no tornado watch…yet.
Just high wind warning until Saturday morning and a flood watch until 1 am.
A friend died this week and today is her visitation, funeral and burial at the church a mile or so down the road tomorrow morning. The gravel/doubtful dirt road here is already seriously damaged as a result of the shitload of rain we got last month. Gonna be a mess.

that nonsense has been making the rounds since at least 2009. thanks to Scientific American.
At a board meeting this week, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors announced that they were canceling the county’s contract with Dominion Voting Systems, citing debunked conspiracy theories promoted by Fox News and other right-wing media outlets about the security of the company’s machines. Officials said they would look into other options for voting in the county, like hand-counting ballots, and claimed that residents don’t trust the Dominion equipment.
Supervisor Kevin Crye also announced that he’d been in touch with none other than Lindell - an election denier and chief proponent of the lies about Dominion - about the issue. Lindell offered to support a pilot voting system to replace the machines and help the county fend off any possible legal challenges, Crye said.
In a statement to the Times, a Dominion spokesperson said the vote to remove the machines was “yet another example of how lies about Dominion have damaged our company and diminished the public’s faith in elections.”

20 years or so ago I went to a conference in Milwaukee. I stayed with a cousin who lives in Whitefish Bay. I was a poor grad student driving an old Ford Ranger. As soon as I got in town I was followed by a patrol car all the way to my destination and the car didn’t move on until my cousin came out and gave me a hug. And I’m very white.

Yeah, I heard that the folks who actually have to run the elections up there aren’t thrilled because getting a new system that complies with actual election law isn’t just a matter of filling out your paper ballot at the polling place.
