It’s Tuesday but not Jewsday. Sorry. But hey, links are OK, and you get some free bonus snark. I took a trip to Walmart yesterday, and when challenged about my mask (or lack thereof), I smiled, said, “Medical exemption,” and kept walking. These are magic words, akin to saying “Jury Nullification” during voir dire. And nothing else happened. Looking certain is the key.
There’s an unusual number of notable birthdays today, including the finest libertarian novelist to ever walk the Earth; co-author of the greatest cookbooks in America; an insanely talented pitcher who deserved better; the original #metoo girl; half of the best husband-and-wife musical team ever; the most underrated drummer ever; and a guy who would always tell you when it was going to rain.
News and snark to follow.
“All this money is going to the millionaires and billionaires, and… oh wait.”
“Hey, we can grift, too, you know.”
“Outta my way, I want the money, too.”
Wait, I thought that everyone else was now fine and it’s just the US who’s fucked up. This is very confusing.

The NFL wants to play the Black National Anthem before games this year. I had no idea there was such a thing, and the implied segregation is offensive to me. As was the song and lyrics once SP found them for me. So herewith, Old Guy Music suggests a better anthem to play before every game. This would get me back as a fan.

Nancy needz the munnies – she has impoverished herself in decades of public service.
You know, not all of the politicians are rich. Some of them only make $50-60,000 a year.
It takes time to build up a network of graft.
At least a few weeks.
Her family managed to not starve to death
griftingselflessly toiling for the good burghers of Baltimore. Then Nancy was lucky enough to marry agood middle classguy on the make who, ironically managed to earn a crust or two in defense and gubbermint related spending. Fortunately now she is able to scrape by on a mere 9 figures.The d’Alesandros were not only accomplished grifters, they represented a network of legitimate businessmen. In waste disposal, mozzarella cheese distribution, you know, the usual. Have some respect.
All fine and good if you are invited to the table and laugh at their jokes.
Are you laughing at me?
Jarflax fucks…
She pulled off one of the most subtle and indirect grafts I’ve ever heard of in politics. Instead of selling the Presidio at auction, they turned into a park with Nancy being one of the main advocates. Which meant her husbands SF real estate portfolio became much more valuable.

If the government is handing out money im not too offended by people find what they can to get some action.
I am offended by politicians who put it on place getting in on it. And I’m offended by people lobbying for it.
Re: Sloopy calling in sick…..I really have to hand it to TPTB. You guys churn this thing out multiple times a day, every day, for no money. Me, my son’s only been gone away to camp for a few days and I’ve already forgotten to water his garden one day.

Before every public gathering, there should be a recitation of The White Man’s Burden.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
“Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?”
“Problematic!” *crosses arms and sniffs*

The Hillsborough County Emergency Planning Group just renewed the mask requirements for the county, but they discovered a new exemption from it. Apparently there is a state law in Florida that prohibits concealed carry permit holders from wearing masks indoors (presumably while they are carrying, but that wasn’t clear from the article). Seeing that I’m carrying if I’m anywhere off my property, I guess I can’t wear a mask any more…
Interesting.
“The NFL wants to play the Black National Anthem before games this year”
Never heard of it.
I wonder if it’s in place of, or in addition to, the White National Anthem.
It’s like “Juneteenth” which was unknown before about two weeks ago to about 99% of Americans.
I still don’t know what it is.
See also the Tulsa Massacre.
Is the White National Anthem Muskrat Love? It’s Muskrat Love isn’t it. Ooh… or maybe Afternoon Delight.
Oh say can you see
The black man’s plight
What our culture has failed
Is so valiantly screaming
And the Karen’s red glare
The bombs thrown at cops there
Gave proof through the night
That chips our shoulders still bear
Oh say does that black photo Instagram still share
Oer the land of the reeeeeeeeeeee and the home of the slavesssssss
The last line sold it.
I’d suggest “The bombs dropped on MOVE there”
There is a gay national anthem.

Proof that the NFL has a white supremacy problem.
Where’s his apology and subsequent cut from the team?
On Twitter there appear to be three main arguments:
1. What he said was indefensible and stupid
2. What he said is actually right.
3. What he said is right and actually all the wypipo on Twitter are the ones being racist for calling him out.
Idk what’s more embarassing: that D-Jax posts something he thinks is a quote from Hitler or that it’s actually a bullshit quote made up from whole cloth by that anti-semitic jackass Louis Farrakhan.
How bad at research do you have to be to go looking for anti-semitic Hitler quotes and end up with a misattribution?
I thought blacks can’t be racist?
Isn’t that the elephant in the room though? I forget the stats but isn’t anti-semitism biggest among blacks?
Shut the fuck up! Xe explained…
That racism only exists because the white man pits minorities together.
“There is no racism without power” is the stupidest argument ever. You can argue that the racism of people in power is more detrimental but bigotry is a sadly universal part of the human condition.
I know black people from our church from back in the day who looked down on our priest because he was from Liberia. They thought a guy from Liberia had it “easy” because he hadn’t grown up with white racism. Even though the man had lived through an honest-to-god civil war and had nearly died in a purge. Was literally lined up against a wall before being miraculously released. But he “didn’t know the black American experience”
You’ll never know real racism until you get side-eyed at the movie theater for being loud.
But he “didn’t know the black American experience”
Neither did Barry Obama, he of the rich white grandparents, ritzy Honolulu private school and high-rise condo and Ivy League schools.
Power can also be very dependent on a specific situation. I was walking down the street on the South Side of Chicago and three black teenagers were following me. One of them was yelling “Get Whitey!” It sounded pretty racist to me, and given that they outnumbered me 3 to 1 they had more power in that moment.
That might just have been your first mistake.
You’re no invincible!
But Newsom and other experts have warned that increasing infection in younger adults may serve as a way the disease can spread to those with underlying health conditions and older adults.
That’s why, Newsom said, he has made moves to strengthen public health orders, such as ordering many of California’s most populous counties to shut down bars and indoor restaurant dining rooms as hospitalizations have increased.
While a higher percentage of coronavirus tests is confirming infections, “we’re not seeing a commensurate increase yet in mortality,” Newsom said. For the last six weeks, California has reported an average coronavirus death toll of about 436 a week since Memorial Day; for the preceding six weeks, the average weekly death toll was 510, a Times analysis found.
“Those are lagging indicators: hospitalizations, ICUs and deaths,” Newsom said.
It can take weeks for newly infected people to get sick enough to be hospitalized, and even more time before they die from the disease.
Experts say it can take three to four weeks after exposure to the virus for infected people to become sick enough to be hospitalized, and four to five weeks after exposure for some of the most vulnerable patients to die from the disease.
Those darn irresponsible kids won’t listen. Now everybody has to go back into Time Out.
“It can take weeks for newly infected people to get sick enough to be hospitalized, and even more time before they die from the disease.”
They’ve been saying this for the last two weeks.
That’s when they’re in the super spreader form of the plague zombies.
They’ve been screaming “Just wait two weeks and Florida will be just like NY!” for almost two months.
In Minnesoda, it has been funny to watch them bend themselves into pretzels trying to keep all the narratives afloat and spinning and somehow tied to the data.
1) Crowing about how we have ramped up our testing capacity to 20K/day AND fretting because our daily new cases remain high
2) NO mention of riots permitted when discussing why daily cases are high. Only bars spread the virus (and not wearing a mask).
3) Wanting to crow about new protocol to prevent deaths among residents of long term care AND not wanting people to notice that daily deaths have dropped precipitously
4) NO mention of Minnesota Model 3.0 and its predictions of a thousand deaths a week that caused the state to buy an old refrigerated warehouse for $7M.
I don’t feel all that bad for the politicians, after all they are dim and lie all the time so this isn’t that hard for them. The people I feel bad for are the
court stenographersjournalos who have to write story after story and keep this straight.“buy an old refrigerated warehouse for $7M.”
Previous owner was probably the state majority whip’s brother.
Probably. But it sure seems like it should have been a buyer’s market.
The upturn started far enough back that deaths would have showed up by now. And they have in places like Arizona that didnt have a first wave.
I think healthier, younger people are the ones getting sick now. It sounds harsh, but it is a wheat and chaff situation, and we have burned through a large portion of the chaff.
I made a point on another site that I could see 3 reasons for the effect:
1. Healthier people are getting the virus now.
2. The virus has mutated and is less deadly.
3. Testing has changed.
All of just some may be true. Someone in response added on to #1, sort of a 1B. Doctors are better at treating earlier now. They didnt know what to do 4 months ago, now they have a good idea, so less people are being hospitalized or dying.
Upward curve in cases started 24 days ago. At that time deaths per day were about 2.0 per million, now it is about 1.5 per million (all numbers based on US-NY,NJ,CT chart, NJ and NY both had a single one day total recently that mucks with US data). 24 days is enough to at least stop the falling.
Looking at the first wave, there is a 1-2 week lag in deaths. 24 days is more than enough to see the effect.
Maybe they’re hiding in bottom of the ocean with all that extra climate change heat.
1B is an understated improvement. Changes in treatment protocols such as when to use ventilators has improved outcomes. And the knock effect is that ventilator numbers are even less needed than forecast before. Did GM ever deliver theirs?
GM ventillators arrived with a bent chassis, had tailfins, and didn’t run
…but used more energy… good news for the power plants
This kind of reasoning can justify perpetual lockdowns.
I see this kind of thinking up here.
We’re in trouble.
They don’t need reasoning to hold on to the sweet, sweet nectar of power. They just need excuses, no matter how bullshit.
I think you’re right Rufus.
“the implied segregation is offensive to me. As was the song and lyrics once SP found them for me.”
I also find it offensive that they think all black people find the anthem odious.
“‘Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.”
They might wanna rethink this line, since they want the national colors changed to red, black & blue.
But enough about the lockdown, let’s move on to the monkey situation…
I have to agree about the monkeys. Buy a fucking cherry-picker and a machete already. Jeebus.
Or chain PETA members up and make them harvest the coconuts.
It is actually faster for professional coconut harvesters to climb the tree than to run a lift to get them up and down.
You dont run it up and down. Start at one end of the row, run it up, chop stems and let them fall, move to next tree, chop stems and let them fall, move to next tree… The lift doesnt come back down until lunch.
Have a crew follow the lift truck and pick up coconuts to load them in another truck following.
Why do I have to think of everything?
Why? Then you’d have to buy it and pay to maintain it. I’m not even sure that method would save any time.
You’re whining for a haircut!!
So there’ll be monkey-butlers?
In other news, out of work monkeys have been seen displaying red buttocks on Bangkok street corners this week.
“The NFL wants to play the Black National Anthem before games this year. I had no idea there was such a thing, and the implied segregation is offensive to me.”
It is not implied. The party of racism and socialism is the party of racism and socialism.
If Joe gets elected we are in deep shit. He has already started with that ‘transform the country’ crap. The ghost of the USSR is laughing its ass off.
Biden would be a puppet to the worst influences imaginable until he’s moved out of the door a year or so after being sworn in. Unfortunately, his replacement will be far worse. God help us if he wins.
Most important VP nomination in our lifetime.
And Sleepy Joe picked exclusively Marxist grifters as his final four.
The problem is it’s not actually a bad strategy. The moderates can tell themselves they’re voting for good old Joe, not the firebrand VP. The radicals can hold their nose and vote for the senile old sellout because the radical firebrand will be liable to take over soon anyway. Hopefully it doesn’t work.
Agree 100%.
The only reason Joe is considered a moderate is that hes old and white. Look at the promises hes made in the past two years, and the people hes planning on appointing.
He said he would ban fracking. That’s not moderation, moderation is “We can have very strict environmental regulation to safeguard our natural world AND have good jobs and cheap American energy.”
Harris isn’t a Marxist.
She’s basically Hillary with a tan.
Typical old slimy grifter is at least better than Communist ideologue, I suppose.
Was Stalin better than Lenin? The leader uses the true believers, he does not have to be one.
What’s the Chicano national anthem? The Nisei national anthem? Etc, etc?
They need to play each in turn before every game.
The Nisei national anthem is the Star Spangled Banner, if the 442nd RCT has anything to say about it.
ESPN/Disney announced a documentary about the great civil rights martyr of our times one Colin Kaepernick. To be produced by public intellectual giant Jamele Hill.
After all. He’s been vindicated.
MUST….SIGNAL….HARDER1!1!
My fear is that Kirk Cousins will get ideas from all of this.
“Hey, I’m a way overrated QB too! And people are getting antsy in Minnesoda over the fact that I’m sucking up the salary cap and not producing in big games. Maybe I should kneel during the Black National Anthem in protest and extend my money making days too?”
Boy if ever there was a deal that was obviously a terrible decision from the moment it was announced……Kirk Cousins is the master of the empty stat. At one point with the Redskins he was like 2-20 against teams with winning records.
Wins are not a QB stat.
My point was that his passing numbers looked great, but he never performed when it mattered. Clutch is usually an overrated thing, but over a long period of time now Cousins has consistently failed in big games.
He did perform well in a lot of games, only to be let down by the defense though.
My think with Kirk was, between 2015-2017, he only got carried to a win once. He played poorly in losses, played well in losses, and played well in wins, but the team only ever carried a bad Kirk game to a W in Baltimore in 2016.
Then in 2018, the defense gets 22 turnovers in the first 9 games, and Alex Smith’s worthless limpdick checkdown ass gets carried to a bunch of low scoring wins. They never ever handed Kirk multiple extra possessions a game.
Like, 2017 Saints, Kirk throws a TD to make it 31-16 with less than six minutes left, and the defense gives up 15 points to take it to OT, then somehow its all Kirks fault for a bullshit penalty and a Vernon Davis drop. 34-31 in NO, final score.
2018 Cowboys Alex Smith can’t do shit for the whole game, and we win because the defense scored a FR TD and the Cowboys kicker missed to squeak out 20-17 at home.
Now we have a second year QB with only one weapon, a bad OL, and a stupid fucking dinosaur of a head coach who wants to win with fucking linebackers and running backs.
It has been painfully obvious during his tenure here. After the Vikes have lost the game Cousins runs up a ton of yards passing against prevent defenses.
So he’s no Tommy Kramer?
He’s no Tommy Kramer
Nope. Cousins hasn’t hit one mail box during his entire tenure with the Vikes.
Touchdown Tommy actually did pretty well considering he took over from Tark. Hard to follow a legend.
Wasn’t Matt Cassel starting for the Vikes when they brought in Cousins?
That boy is the king of great stats when it didn’t matter.
Why do I doubt his family will be featured?
I’m sure there’ll be gaps in the story.
Oh God. Why do I keep getting proven right?
Cheer up.

(((Kate Widland))) is not Hispanic. She kept the Gallego even after getting divorced to pander politically. And yes I’ve seen her topless but didn’t close the deal.
Sad.
Story time?
She was my date to Winter Ball junior year (HS) and lived a block away. We went to the same elementary school but I kept going to shitty APS and her parents sent her to private school starting in middle school. We reconnected through a mutual friend and dated for a while. Got to second base. Then she went off to Hahvahd and joined the lizard people.
Nice. ?
Huh…..no one I dated got famous. There was a hot slutty girl in high school that was on Real Housewives of New York, but I definitely was not in her social stratum. The fact that that chick graduated from Columbia tells me all I need to know about how overrated the Ivy League is, because she was an airhead socialite type.
I must have some kind of magic touch because I also dated her:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elyse_Sewell
Not really dated, more of a fling; she sat next to me in Senior English class. I actually thought her friend was hotter but 18 year olds aren’t exactly picky.
Would it be inappropriate to go to a campaign rally with a “I touched your boobies” sign?
Puffy nipples.
^^^This is why I would never want to be a politician (or even famous). People would have stories about me from way back when. I mean, this is no big deal, no one would refuse to vote for her because some random dude got to 2nd base in HS with her. If anything, it probably helps her. It would just be weird to me knowing the things people will be randomly sharing about me.

So I got to deal with a fun project this morning. I got to run out to Home Depot to get a new wet vac to clean up about 4 gallons of water in my basement. Drains were cleared of tree roots yesterday, water was still sitting on the floor though. So now I get to go down there every couple of hours and make sure there’s no more issues.
On the plus side, taking a shower didn’t cause any water to appear, so it may be fixed. I’m more concerned trying to figure out where the water came from. We’ve had backups when the storm drains get over run during storms, but there’s been no storms the past couple of days.
Nothing better than a good excuse to buy tools!
I’d make sure to open a few windows and get a fan going in one of them, always push the pressure in. There’re some pretty inexpensive antifungals you can spray for good measure too.
Ceiling fans are running, as is A/C. It’s supposed to get up to the 90’s today with humidity over 50%. This was in the cement and tiled area, so I’m not that concerned about water damage. Just if I’m going to be able to figure out the issue, and what the cost to repair it will be.
It’ll run about 500% more than you bargained for. Sorry, Neph.

I’m not contesting the title because I’m not a Libertarian, and the category of “Libertarian Novelist” is rather sparsely populated. So the question is, are we talking general libertarian or True Libertarian?

I’m not savvy to all the gunsmith’s secrets, but IS there a “drop-in full-auto mod”, or does that conversion still require a modicum (or more) of machining?
I’m going to guess that because you can drop in a binary trigger, you can probably drop in a trigger assembly that is set up for full auto.
https://www.recoilweb.com/turning-your-ar-15-into-an-m-16-150631.html
Answers.
This is the way. Also, David Merrill is a cool dude. He was personally responsible for RECOIL magazine’s article on recreational cannabis.
Thank you, Sean and thank you EvilSheldon. That Recoil article was fantastic. I’m, admittedly, more of a bolt-action/wheel-gun fan. Apart from the sheer joy of converting money into noise at a higher rate, to what end would one want a fully automatic rifle or carbine? Doctrine may have changed since my time , but we were taught that machine-gun fire is for suppression while accurate, aimed, rifle fire is for the bulk of the work.
I’d pass on converting the battle rifle to full auto. Even three round bursts. At an aimed fire rate of one shot every two-three seconds, I’d be burning ammo at a plenty high enough rate.
Because owning a machine gun is a right, not a privilege, so if you want one you should be able to get one without explanation or asking for permission.
Anonymous source is anonymous.
Yes, there is.
Converting an AR-15 to select fire requires some modifications to the lower receiver, in addition to the installation of a select-fire trigger group. The receiver mods are pretty simple, but not something that you’d want done by some yokel with a battery drill.
As an aside, the BATFE considers a lower thus modified to be an unregistered machine gun, even if the select fire trigger parts are not installed or even possessed.
Alternately, there’s a gizmo called a Lightning Link, which is a drop-in part requiring no receiver changes. The downside is that it makes your gun full auto only.
Drop in AR parts? Boring. Was hoping Norinco was importing something more exotic like QBZ-97 rifles.

The comments are depressing as fuck.
This cancel culture thing is the way the new fascist/marxists avoid the street murders Of those they despised or re-education work camps for the unwashed masses they wanted to use as examples to frighten others into compliance of the past glory days of the socialist utopian experiments. Today these monsters simply target people’s ability to make a living to punish and silence those that get in their way.
It’s the new Hollywood blacklist.

They moved all The Melbourne based AFL teams out of state.
Oh is that why the games were all scrambled last week? I’m actually surprised they’re still going on. I fully expected the season to end within a week or two.
They also had to postpone one of the Essendon games because of positive tests
My “Health Region” – 350,000 people, zero cases in nearly three weeks, 65 cases total since the start, 0 fatalities from the Yellow Peril. Math is hard.
My county of over 400k is up to 36 deaths now. But, 13 of those were in the last week. Charleston County mosly missed the first wave, so we are getting a bit now.
Mostly because of vacationing yankees.
Only 373 more and they will be in line for a death!

I don’t believe her.
I figured Epstein would have had a dead man’s switch too but apparently he didn’t. These people aren’t quite as intelligent as we think they are. She was stupid enough to not leave the country for Christ’s sake.
Wasn’t she in NH?
Yep…
She came back for some reason. If she’s half as smart as people think, she set up her insurance policy / dead-man switches before returning. Her father was a creepy guy with lots of connections to spies.
I thought she didn’t come back because she has been here the entire time?
You think he’s dead? Epstein didn’t kill himself because he’s not actually dead.
*orders bulk roll of tinfoil*
They only killed Epstein, I mean he only committed suicide, after they found and disabled the switch. These fucks still want their own asses and their racket protected. Hopefully this woman decides to just release the info and make it obvious that if something happened to her, it was done to her.
I’d like to think that at least some of the feds were smart enough to give her time to develop a fail-safe.

Anything of actual value can be taught online and it gives parents (y’know, the ones paying for it) a glimpse into the sewage most of these classes are spewing.
When universities existed for training priests and you had to copy books by hand, dragging the students into one spot made sense.
These days, you can scrap 99.9999999% of the university system and more effectively transfer knowledge without it.
That won’t happen in the short term though. The profs will whine, the admins will cave, and the taxpayers will continue to fund their sinecures while they mash ass at home doing mostly nothing.

Engineering and science labs require expensive equipment. There is definitely an argument to have those in person.
A significant portion of the humanities and soft sciences are primarily composed of bullshitting sessions that can easily be conducted by twitter posts.
Math courses and basic science requirements are fairly easily fulfilled online.
Harvard will only let 40% of its students live on campus this year and all undergrad courses will be online.
Why attend a snooty Ivy League school if you can’t network your way into some sinecure in the govt or nonprofit sphere?

“The gentrification of revolt
Liberals distract from real change in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd
Does anyone actually remember George Floyd? What started out as a noble cause to curb police brutality in urban and African-American communities has morphed into a corporate crusade of ne’er do wells tossing out woke distractions to keep the Instagram millennial mafia off their backs, as well as the looting for likes and posing for photos on the hoods of police cars, all in the hopes of a viral snap for Instagram, TikTok or Twitter.
We’ve seen hordes of entitled white women from Georgetown in Lululemon Yoga gear shrieking at black police officers about their privilege and r/Chapo Antifa larpers tearing down statues of Ulysses S. Grant or berating older black people about their history. And let’s not forget that goddamn racist elk statue in Portland. Removing African American logos and symbols (Uncle Ben’s, Aunt Jemina, etc) is up to the companies that choose to do so, but it’s not going to save one black life at the hands of the police or do anything to placate the bloodthirsty mob….”

“9 days before the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell: Steve Bing, Hollywood writer/producer, real estate mogul, close friend of the Clintons, flyer on the “Lolita Express,” massive Clinton Foundation donor – “jumped” to his death from the 27th floor of his luxury apartment.”
https://twitter.com/Kevin_Shipp/status/1280258298067980288
Steve Bing killed by an ordinary criminal? Ridiculous.
The creater of Bing is dead?
This is actually on Bing’s Wikipedia page,
“Death
Bing died on June 22, 2020, at the age of 55, by jumping from his apartment on the 27th floor of a building in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles. In reality the Clintons paid to have him killed because of connections of Bing and the Clintons to Jefferey Epstein. [1][22]”

More than 1,150 people have signed an online petition to require masks in public in Gallatin County.
The effort is the latest in a series of grassroots initiatives to get more people to wear masks as the number of coronavirus cases rises and local and state officials decline to revise reopening guidelines.
Bozeman resident Lisa Upson started the petition on change.org a few days ago after hearing from others who also support a mask mandate.
“This is just one way we can voice our opinion,” Upson said. “The evidence and our experiences show the recommendations aren’t working.”
1150 people, in a county of at least 100,000? Democracy at work. “If you won’t listen to reason, we’ll just have to force you. It’s for your own good.”
THE SHEEPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
There’s no proof that any of those 1150 people even live within that county – or are even 1150 individual people and not sockpuppets.
What about people who have gotten the Corona already? Will they be forced to wear masks too?
Sure they can’t get the virus again, or spread it but why should we let common sense keep us from forcing people to OBEY?
You haven’t seen the news stories that antibodies may not protect you from the COVID. So even if you’ve already had it, you will never be safe from it.
If I’m never going to be safe from it, then the mask is pointless.
Just cower at home, it’s the only way to be safe.
grrrrrr
What’s that? Grizzly has fallen down the old well? Good boy Brooksy!
I have a great opportunity for compare and contrast of lockdowns this week. Last Thursday, a teammate and I went to an open ice session here in Indiana. The staff behind the counter wore masks, and we were supposed to go in one door and out another. Other than that, everything was normal. It was a hot day so nobody was there before us and we got an extra half hour on the ice. There were a total of 4 of us skating. As a bonus, the owner checked us in and let us skate for free. It was great.
Tomorrow night we have our first summer practice in Chicago. We’re limited to 7 players on the ice. No bags are allowed in the building, so we have to get our gear on in the parking lot, wear a mask into the building, and go straight to the ice. We’re not supposed to check each other to maintain social distancing. The only good thing is they’re closing early so our time was moved up by an hour.
We’ll see how it goes, but I might just spend more time at the Indiana rink this summer until things ease up.
Great, now Chicago will blame IN for both CV cases and guns.
I’m doing my part!

Boyfriend, manager, or pimp?
This piece will argue why it is important to have a clear working definition of pimp – a definition which is distinct from boyfriend or manager, both of which are often conflated with pimping . I will outline the current discourses on pimping, then explain why these are confusing. I will use Holly Davis’ argument toward a working definition of pimp and the dangers of ambiguous understanding. I will then expand Davis’ point to show how a clear definition of pimping is important, not just for policy and research, but also for projects and services who work with sex workers.

“Stop Firing the Innocent
America needs a reckoning over racism. Punishing people who did not do anything wrong harms that important cause.
As companies and organizations of all sorts have scrambled to institute a zero-tolerance policy on racism over the past few weeks, some of them have turned out to be more interested in signaling their good intentions than punishing actual culprits. This emphasis on appearing rather than being virtuous has already resulted in the mistreatment of innocent people—not all of them public figures or well-connected individuals with wealth to cushion their fall….
Cafferty was punished for an offense he insists he did not commit. Shor was punished for doing something that most wouldn’t even consider objectionable. Wadi was punished for the sins of his daughter. What all of these rather different cases have in common is that none of the people who were deprived of a livelihood in the name of fighting racism appear to have been guilty of actually perpetuating racism.”

“I’ve been digging into some of the stories of people getting fired for supposed racism.

This reply takes the cake:
It’s “Unsustainable”? You mean the system of affairs that was sustained for centuries is unsustainable. You might say you don’t like it but lets not get carried away with it.
People in a strong economy don’t vote for handouts as much.
Two things that are unsustainable are unions and minimum wage laws.
Unions, properly organized, are totally sustainable. A smart union (if this was legal, not sure) would be using dues to be company stock instead of lobbying efforts. They could eventually use their growing influence to get seats on the board and etc.
They would push for the end of company health insurance and provide it for their workers instead (larger dues to pay for it, but the paycheck is larger without the company buying it). They would have a union hired doc at the union clinic, and insurance for specialists and catastrophic problems. Ditto retirement and unemployment insurance. The union would provide all of them in this world, and unions would be strong because of it.
They also would only exist for the private sector.
What does that have to do with the issue at hand?
Are they really going to argue that if unions hadn’t been “weakened” (read: shot themselves in the foot), there wouldn’t be the woke virtue signalling? Or that the unions would go to bat to defend “racist” employees? And even if the unions did, they’d just be accused of white supremacy and canceled. It isn’t Republicans trying to expel cop unions from the AFL-CIO, after all.
Never mind that California already has a high minimum wage and SDGE already has a unionized workforce.
This reminds of the British Left’s lament of the demise of the British coal industry under Thatcher. Isn’t coal supposed to die off anyway for the environment’s sake?
Progs trying to stop the guillotines already? But the Revolution has only begun, Comrades!
Fundamentally, this falls on the corporations for not having leadership with a functioning spine.
Of all companies, SDGE is one of the least assailable targets. Who are they going to lose market share to? Are the progs going to stop using electricity because they have a “racist” lineman?
Companies desperately need to clear out the H&R/marketing diversity deadweight.
Carrying a drop wallet is racist.
Politicians are even more craven than business leaders, and non-competitive entity like SDGE is beholden to politicians.
The are fully regulated by politicians who can destroy their business.
True virtue comes from true conversion towards i lifestyle that produces that virtue. If you want to be strong, you don’t get strong by wearing tight shirts and padding them to appear bulky. You become committed to a lifestyle of working out.
What we have is that a lot of people are “virtue signaling” not because they are truly committed to the ideas of the left, but just want to look like they are.
Over at TOS, there is an article this morning on a study of virtue (and victim) signalling, indicating it is the province of some really nasty people.
There is an unwatchable Sprite commercial airing now that seems to be a case study of this. Basically, “black people can’t win and we’re going to fix that”.
Kriss Kross agrees.
True, they’ve always been unwatchable but this one is in a league of its own.
Fuck SDGE, spineless assholes that cave to the Twitter mob for points.

Something something hardest hit
Adraint Bereal was preparing for his end-of-semester thesis showcase a few months ago, gearing up for a summer internship at an ad agency in New York. A 22-year-old recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Bereal is the first in his family to attend college, and he was intending to use his design degree to start a career in photography and design.
Then he got an email saying his internship had been rescinded due to Covid-19. Around the same time, he learned that his program department had made the decision to move his senior exhibition, which he’d been working on for more than two years, completely online. The project, called “The Black Yearbook,” documents the lives of Black Texan college students, who make up less than 5% of the student body at UT Austin.
“You spend your four years building up to this one moment where you get to finally announce who you are and what type of designer you want to be,” he said. “It was a big shocker. I was depending on that internship to help me transition to being in New York full-time.”
Bereal now faces what he describes as a “burning question mark” in his life regarding what he’ll do next and where he will go. His hours at his part-time job have been reduced since the pandemic, a lease he shares with four roommates ends in July, and he worries about how he’ll pay off the roughly $10,000 he owes in student loans.
“If I stay in Texas, how long am I staying for? Am I going to be able to afford where I’m going? Am I going to be able to have money to support myself? These are all things that are kind of running around in my mind,” he said.
Racism, straight up.
Economic hardships never hit white people, it is known.

Let’s say the Epstein/Maxwell dead man switch is everything its rumored to be: clandestine video of rich and powerful people having sex with underage girls.
Wouldn’t that make it child porn? If its online, wouldn’t it be illegal to host, download or view? Would it be illegal for her defense attorneys to have a copy? For her to have a copy?
The whole thing i think is funny is that there is more truth to the Pizzagate conspiracy than there was toe the Russiagate story.
Yeah I’d bet my entire life savings that rich and powerful men went to Epstein’s island and fucked teenage girls. 100% guarantee that happened. Not a doubt in my mind. The more out there stuff with preteen kids, with rape and torture and all that, that’s hard to believe. But anyone who seriously believes that rich and powerful men flew out of the US to have sex with completely legal young women, that’s just insane. Shit, Bill Clinton could probably still get laid on college campuses. There’s thousands of of college girls who’d fuck him just to say they did it
The more out there stuff with preteen kids, with rape and torture and all that, that’s hard to believe.
It is, but I suspect its also hard to believe how depraved some of Our Masters are.
There is no smoking gun, but enough smoke around John Podesta, I could believe it.
Also, I don’t know what makes people pedophiles, but if a pedophile was born into wealth and power, what do you think would happen?
I didn’t say there was a lot of truth. Just more.
Yes.
Would it be illegal for her defense attorneys to have a copy – I mean there should be a copy somewhere for this purpose, like the courthouse. If child porn is evidence, then there must be a copy somewhere.
The FBI could host the worlds biggets Child Porn site, so i think it’s okay when the kings men have it.
Well, of course, cops, prosecutors, and judges are allowed to possess child porn.
I’m wondering, though, if its legal for defense counsel to have child porn that hasn’t been put into evidence by the prosecutor.
If you cached memory sticks in say a national park, and gave a lawyer the location of the cache, would that count as possession of child porn?
Now the site is micro text with a larger border on the right side.
Looks like it is back to normal.

Of course…
The ed schools are the epicenter of some of the worst offenses to knowledge in this country.
Used to have a friend who’d spent decades teaching in public schools. He told me once that education in America could be improved almost overnight by shutting down every ed school in the country.
Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams (can’t remember) has said that the school of education is full of people scraping the bottom of the academic barrel and they couldn’t make it anywhere else.

The most notorious math weed-out course at universities is a third year course where the jist is on day one:
“Prove that 2 + 2 = 4.” And then the course then proceeds from there going through everything all the students have already learned in previous courses, but requiring them to prove it all. People who have never gotten anything less than a ‘B+’ in their lives, recoil in horror at their ‘C’s.
But yeah, contrary to the Marxists view of the world, you can actually prove lots of things given very few basic assumptions. “Because someone said so” does not in fact underpin everything.
So what is the proof for basic arithmatic?
You’ll usually start from the field axioms and work out from there.
https://mathworld.wolfram.com/FieldAxioms.html
Those axioms rely on arithmatic functions.
Assume you don’t know what the symbols mean already. You’re defining them based on those properties.
Understand that I am only a TechPriest, and reinventing the wheel is discouraged. I’m asking what the actual proof looks like.
An example
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/846990/proof-of-basic-arithmetic-operations
I’m seeing circular reasoning that requires basic arithmatic to prove basic arithmatic.
Yeah, number theory will throw anyone who has been educated in a typical school system for a major loop.

The report is the latest sign of an unprecedented fiscal crisis gripping virtually every state and threatening basic services including education, health care and public safety. And three months into the crisis, there is nothing even close to a consensus on what to do about it.
Whatever else may be true, we can be certain there will be no deep examination of the qualitative benefits of individual government departments or programs.
Nothing left to cut!
I suppose cutting non-basic services is right out, of course.
