Psychedelic Mushrooms Grew in a Man’s Veins After He Injected Them
A man’s experiment with psychedelic mushrooms went disastrously wrong and nearly killed him, according to his doctors. In a new case report released this week, they detailed how the man injected a “tea” made from the mushrooms into his body and developed a life-threatening infection that had them growing in his blood. The experience left him in the hospital for close to a month. Fortunately, he survived.
According to the report, the 30-year-old man had been brought to the emergency room by his family after exhibiting confusion. He had a history of bipolar disorder as well as opioid dependence and had recently stopped taking his prescribed medications, his family told doctors. In the course of trying to self-medicate his depression and dependence, he came across research showing some benefit from using psychedelic drugs like mushrooms and LSD.
Days before the ER visit, he had decided to use mushrooms by first boiling them down into what he called “mushroom tea,” then filtering the mixture through a cotton swab and intravenously injecting it. Soon after, he developed symptoms including lethargy, jaundice, diarrhea, and nausea, along with vomiting up blood.
By the time he was admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit, multiple organs had started to fail, including his lungs and kidney. Tests revealed that he had both a bacterial and fungal infection in his blood, likely meaning that the mushrooms he injected were now literally feeding off him and growing, the doctors wrote (the fungus found in the man’s blood was the same species of psychedelic mushroom he had injected). Among other treatments, he was given an intense course of antibiotics and antifungal drugs.
It was my 30th birthday and I was spending it in New York City with a bunch of my friends that had moved up there after college and it was before 9/11 so the city was still really chill and fun and the grief and dust hadn’t settled all over everything and my birthday gift from my friend Josh was a hefty bag of magic mushrooms. We each picked out a good dose for ourselves and ate them but I also fished out the biggest dried mushroom of them all and slipped it into my shirt pocket for later. They started kicking in when we got to the subway stop for the Natural History Museum and whoa they hit hard and we are all giggling. Just little speedy not too much in the way of visuals just a groovy good time and I loved the city and all my friends and we tripped around looking at the dinosaurs and all the bones. I ate the big big mushroom in my shirt pocket after we had been there about a half-an-hour and look a few drags off my one-hitter in the bathroom while everyone was getting tickets for the planetarium and bloosh goes the brain when the universe begins and I’m all literally slack-jawed leaning back in the seats and the constellations rush past. And we go getting something to eat in and cafeteria and I tell my friend Rance about my plan to make an articulated skeleton from his bones after he died and keep him on display in my very own Hall of Rance and display all these holy Rance relics like his bass guitar and the filthy corduroys he wore for like two years straight and hair from that time my girlfriend gave him a haircut and the hair just went everywhere and he looked like an escaped mental patient. He yelped in the cafeteria really loudly and all these people turned and stared. And then we went to the gems exhibit and it was just too much for me the sparkles and the irl lens flares. The only bad bit was going to see the squid and the whale because I could swear the giant jellyfish was moving, moving toward me, reaching for me. But it didn’t last and we left and walked around until we all came down and then started bar hopping in the East Village and sushi and saki and beer and oblivion. Just one of my favorite days ever.
Fuck, fuck, fuck off.
You Can’t Have an Open-Carry Democracy
On Monday, the Michigan State Capitol Commission decided to prohibit open carry inside the statehouse, citing the attack on Congress. It was an acknowledgment that—beneath the conspiracy theories, the presidential cult of personality, and the craven Republican Party—the big challenge to returning to any kind of political sense of “normal” is guns.
To be sure, at the siege of the Capitol, the only shots appear to have been fired by U.S. Capitol Police (though several guns were found nearby). But this was the miraculous exception that proves the rule. Capitol Police’s relative deference to the mob should be seen not just in the context of law enforcement’s cozy relationship with Trump, the way police treat white people, or their general unpreparedness—but also in light of the expectation that the crowd could be armed.
Next time, it will be. The FBI is warning of armed protests in all 50 state capitals and in D.C., leading up to Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.
I cannot stress the extent to which you should fuck off. Like a giant, veiny bladder of fuck off should sway queasily in your office and there’s an alarm that goes off every ten minutes to remind you to suck a big fat waxy blob of fuck off out of its fanged anus every ten minutes.

Conservative Commentator Says AIG Canceled His Insurance Over His Social Media Posts
Some of us have said they don’t have to pass censorship laws. They just let their minions do it and look the other way. So here’s your proof.
Which is, of course, unconstitutional but good luck with getting a court to admit it.
A private company can do what they want. Except, you know, keep their doors open to the public in huge chunks of the country.
Or refuse to bake a cake.

Since when is Curt Schilling referred to solely as “conservative commentator”?
Guessing around the first week of November, 2016.
Yeah, this is pretty incredible. They are literally going to make it impossible for people to hold a job, find a residence, you name it.
Just mind-blowingly stupid.
Oh well, the blow-back will be “interesting”, to say the least.
I’m not sure I trust Schilling. There may be more to this that what is in his tweet. Maybe something in his past is presenting a problem in the present. https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2012/07/23/38-studios-end-game/
But let’s say its true. Insurance companies are regulated by the states. The typical blue states won’t care and will let this pass. I’ll bet some politically aspiring insurance commissioners in red states will look into this and issue regulations banning just this sort of behavior. AIG will bless the industry with even more differentiation in the states’ laws. This will cost them more than they will get from it.
I saw the slate article and chose not to read it. I didn’t not want to break my company-issued monitor.
When did people stop wearing swords as a matter of course?
Hell, the legend is that the carpeting in Parliament is as wide as it is specifically because everyone was open carrying.
I am pretty sure that only Top Men and people wearing the livery of Top Men carried swords. They were expensive.
IIRC, there was a production of The Messiah where the theater owners asked the men to no wear their swords so they could fir more ticket-buyers in.
The women were asked to not wear their hoops, which frankly would seem to free up a lot more room. .
They wanted to prevent them from “crossing swords” in the aisle?

It’s not like the left doesn’t make it easy to point out their hypocrisy.
Unfortunately, a significant portion of the country just doesn’t give a shit.
It’s beyond that. The hypocrisy is a form of humiliation for the losers who have to 0lay by the rules.
A significant portion of the country doesn’t know. Because the media does not report it and people are very lazy when it comes to thinking for themselves. Thinking is hard, listening to constant bombardment from the TV is easy.
The only way to change that is information warfare. The MSM must be destroyed.

“It’s a miracle more people didn’t die,” McGovern said on the House floor, explaining that he witnessed “evil” in the eyes of those who breached the Speaker’s Lobby.
“Our country came under attack not from a foreign nation, but from within. These were not protesters. These were not patriots. These were traitors. There were domestic terrorists, Mr. Speaker, and they were acting under the orders of Donald Trump,” he claimed. …
“We can’t have unity without truth and without accountability. And I’m not about to be lectured by people who just voted to overturn the results of a free and fair election. America was attacked, and we must respond,” he said before placing the blame squarely on Trump.
“Even when the cause of this violence resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. … The actions of Donald Trump have called each of us to fulfill that oath today,” he said, adding that “our nation” and “freedom” are in danger every moment Trump remains in office.
“He must be held to account for the attack on our Capitol that he organized and he incited,” McGovern added.
This line “We can’t have unity without truth and without accountability” has been focus tested obviously because that is all I hear them say now.
And yet their entire premise is a lie.
Well, I guess we’re not getting unity anytime soon. And good riddance…
Hit reply too soon.
So now it is that Trump organized, incited, and lead? Maybe that drawing of Trump in regal 18th century military dress was more accurate than we thought.
Me, I’m not about to be lectured about “law and order” by people who spent much of this year encouraging riots.

Ahhh ‘Shrooms. Like you, I had a great day of shrooming with my best friend. I had a foil wrapped eighth of what looked to be disappointment in my weed drawer for a week or so. As we were getting ready to head out we realized our combined weed stash amounted to a couple bowls, so I broke them out hoping they at least kept us disoriented. As the glorious warmth of psilocybin began to rush through us, we sat fixated, staring at the dance floor and drinking 7&7’s (an odd choice for the time). We had convinced the waitress to give us the glowing coasters and away we went, silently taking in the house music coupled with all the lights and fog you expect from a house bar.
After what seemed like days, I finally turned to my friend and asked in all seriousness if everything looked like a cartoon. Why yes it did! laughter and hilarity ensued and the guy we finally found to give us a ride home, well, we gave him the leftover shrooms, leaving us with a fantastically long, but intensely satisfying walk to the closest house. That night, everything was great! The rocks on the side of the road, the cars, stars, clouds, and the capper… Babe Ruth starring as the moon! (we all saw it, he was smoking a cigar).
Shrooms rock!

Fortunately yes, but it was in Carbondale on a Friday night in the early ’90s, so chances are nobody would have thought it was strange.

A man’s experiment with psychedelic mushrooms went disastrously wrong and nearly killed him, according to his doctors. In a new case report released this week, they detailed how the man injected a “tea” made from the mushrooms into his body and developed a life-threatening infection that had them growing in his blood. The experience left him in the hospital for close to a month. Fortunately, he survived.
He has to be from Florida.

NH allows guns in the State House
Firearms are allowed throughout the building, another tradition cherished by gun rights groups that has survived for over a decade, though not without controversy.
In recent years, Democratic lawmakers have sought to restrict firearms and other deadly weapons from being worn on the House floor; Republican lawmakers have fiercely objected. A rule passed in 2018 under Democratic Speaker Steve Shurtleff re-initiated the ban and prompted a lawsuit by another representative, John Burt, a Goffstown Republican. In December, the newly-elected Republican House repealed that rule, allowing the weapons to return. Some members say they never stopped carrying even with the rule in effect.
Here as well, but the Dems have been trying to change it after people actually exercised their rights. Now they’ve just closed the building to the public period using Covid. Public participation is limited to web conferencing that has been cut off selectively in the past.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-live-house-votes-impeachment-after-debate
Update (1635ET): The House now has voted to impeach President Trump for allegedly inciting last week’s riot in the Capitol by a margin of 232-197.
️ Democrats: 222-0
➡️ Republicans: 10-197

Well. At least I know I’m not going to vote for Gonzalez again.
Preparation, or incitement?
National Guard units are being told to prepare for the possibility that improvised explosive devices will be used by individuals plotting to attack the Capitol in the days surrounding the Inauguration, according to two Guardsmen briefed this week.
The briefings indicate that Washington, D.C.-area law enforcement believe the IEDs planted last week at the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee headquarters were not an isolated incident. The individual who planted those bombs has yet to be apprehended, and FBI agents have been going door to door in D.C. this week asking residents for any photos or video they might have that could help identify the suspect, two of the residents told POLITICO.
In addition to the IED threat, the Guardsmen are being briefed that protesters could be heavily armed. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy has authorized the National Guardsmen protecting the Capitol, previously only carrying protective gear, to carry lethal weapons including M-9 handguns. A “significant majority” of soldiers are also carrying M-4 rifles, one of the Guardsmen said.
A Guard spokesperson declined to say whether law enforcement had briefed units at the Capitol on an IED threat.
“Our primary objective is to provide support to local authorities,” said spokesperson Tracy O’Grady Walsh, noting that the Guard’s mission during the inauguration is to provide crowd management, traffic control, parking coordination and medical and logistical support to local authorities. “The public’s safety is our top priority.”
That’s weird. It seems to me you’re doing everything you can to escalate the tension in order to create conditions in which some sort of ugly violent confrontation is inescapable.
The simple fact that the pipe bomber guy hasn’t been caught leads me to believe he’s not MAGA.
The diehard Trumpsters have not figured out how to avoid facing punishment yet.
Yet.
The Ulster loyalists started off supporting and backing the security services. That didn’t last.
The IED from last week? The pipe bomb? I mean I guess a pipe bomb is an IED, but it doesn’t sound as threatening. We probably should call Molotov cocktails IEDs too.
My personal feelings on it are that it is the perfect situation for Antifa.
They’ve been working on incitement and false flags for a while now. That’s not up for debate at all.
The temptation for them to bomb something has to be massive.
Tracy O’Grady Walsh.
Googled her real quick. She makes between 110 and 140k as a GS-15. To be a press flack either for the NIH or for the Guard when shes activated. So six figures plus her Guard pay.
House impeached Trump, again.
If he can manage two more, his 5th one is free.
It’s going to be “funny” when the country goes to absolute shit under Biden and they won’t have Trump around to blame for it any more. Not that they won’t try.
What’s even funnier is that they expect antifa just to sit down and behave themselves now. Only antifa will now be more emboldened and will attack the Biden admin for not giving them everything they want right now like they promised. I’m going to be laughing my ass off when the mob shows up at dem politicians houses.
Yeah, except that will justify harder “anti domestic terror” laws that will just be used against the right, while prosecutorial discretion is afforded to the left.
They’ll be kettled, cuffed, and processed if they do that. They were useful to create chaos that could be blamed on Trump, now their usefulness is at an end. If they act up to anyone who matters they’ll be hammered down ruthlessly.
So then, they will have both the left and the right angry at them at the same time. I’m OK with that.
I’m reading the new Jack Reacher novel. He’s just crossed paths with a bunch of neo-Nazi bikers with swastika tattoos on their chests. They were mostly worried that Reacher was part of Antifa. You know, because Antifa are heroes protecting our country from fascists.
Sigh. Et tu, Reacher author?
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there is a rather large segment of people who will eat up whatever bullshit the news serves up to them. So, when the NYT and Wapo and NBC and CNN tell them that everything is Trump’s fault, those people will believe it wholeheartedly.
Those damned Republican obstructionists in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
Theyll be blaming Trump for everything 25 years from now. The media will play along
Rioters! Seditionists! Insurrectionists!Peaceful protesters.Biden supporters have surrounded the Capitol and are yelling at the first responders protecting Congress.
Tbf it appears basically peaceful except for the yelling.
What are they yelling about? I highly doubt any MAGA protesters are going to try to storm the capital, but if there are worked-up lefties already there, I could see the two groups getting violent and everything going downhill fast.
To be sure, at the siege of the Capitol, the only shots appear to have been fired by U.S. Capitol Police (though several guns were found nearby)
So you’re telling me the Q Cult Trumpaloos stormed the Capitol, had guns, but dropped the guns?
I’m not a conspiracy guy, no really, but I’m just going to assume that any firearms and/or explosives found around there were planted by the feds. I wouldn’t trust them to tell me the time of day much less the truth on that kind of stuff.
Well, on the other hand, come to think of it, as it became clear that the cops were arresting people and not just letting them walk out, some quick thinking people might have stripped their holsters out, wiped them down, and tossed them in potted plants or trash cans as they headed to the doors to be detained.
Some people are now asserting that the timeline of the Capitol breach doesn’t add up with when Trump was speaking, that the supposed Trump Army was bashing cops while Trump was still talking.
I don’t doubt that they were Trumpers, all political movements have their kooks and there were a lot of people were there and emotions were running high but the vast majority were peaceful and this was a fart in the wind compared to what happened over the summer.
Well, there was this one model that said there should have been guns, so…

“You’ve no doubt heard these claims endlessly by now. The Democrats are the “party of science.” (Provided you’re talking about global warming and only using the science they approve of.) The Republicans are the party that rejects science and wants everyone to die. But apparently, not all “science” is created equal. When the EPA began moving to implement the “Secret Science” rule, liberals screamed bloody murder. This is a rule that requires any scientific studies used by the agency when making decisions to supply the underlying data used in the study for public scrutiny. Makes sense, right? After all, you want to be using good science and not politicized junk science.
You might think so, but not everyone agrees. A coalition of so-called “green groups” filed a lawsuit yesterday seeking to block the rule from going into effect. And the reason they provided for doing it is painfully disingenuous…..”

We’re headed right back to the EPA funding outside groups to sue them into regulatory changes they couldn’t pass on their own.
So tiresomely predictable and what, they can’t wait a week for Biden to give them everything they want anyway?
Their endless attacking posture, where they ruthlessly press every advantage and use every inch of power at the finger tips is why they’re about to sieze total control of the government to go with their control of the media, the culture, the information systems, the bureaucracy, the education system from top to bottom and all large businesses.
I envision a Pulitzer Prize going a photo of a little grey-haired woman wearing a MAGA hat standing over the body of her son after the guard lets loose.

That was different. Those were leftist allied or aligned violent groups. Now theres a rightwing violent group, and it must be crushed in Roman or Mongol fashion.
I swear, some people will be marching in step toward the gas chamber yelling over their shoulders at the guards
“Haha after all your posturing, you’re the real fascists after all!!! Pretty hypocritical of you to strip me naked, pull my teeth out, and douse me with poison gas. Ben Shapiro would have had totally owned you with facts and logic before he was shot for sedition.”
I wouldn’t call jihadists “leftist”. If anything they are extreme conservatives.
You mean sort of like that article a few days ago calling Jews illegal settlers after we’ve been told for a decade that it’s wrong to call people illegal?
Animal Farm was a prophecy.
So I spose that CNN airport service is going down. How can we have democracy if CNN cannot lie to you in the airport? We need at least a trillion dollar bailout for CNN or that means billions of dead in the streets.
“Former Trump Official: I Had a New Job With a Private Airline. But Then One of Their Biggest Clients, the National Hockey League, Found Out I’d Worked For Trump. The NHL Forced My Employer to Fire Me.”
http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=392138
And away we go…
The NHL was somewhat resistant to wokeism for a while, at least compared to the other leagues, but apparently they’re making up for lost time.
Going to be interesting when lawyers suddenly discover windfall profits are up for grabs when companies start getting sued for that type shit.
Is political affiliation a protected class?
At my main clients’s place, it’s right in the handbook. They cannot discriminate against anyone on the basis or race, religion, sexual identity, political affiliation, etc, etc.
If that’s not grounds to sue, I don’t know that is.
Now as far as what’s considered discrimination by law, I don’t know. But democrats are clearly under the impression that it’s perfectly OK to discriminate against anyone for political reasons.
A couple of successful lawsuits will fix that shit really fast.
They’re not firing him because of his political affiliation, though, they’re firing him because he’s a Nazi.
/actual leftist argument that I’ve seen
Technically companies could fire Trump voters I think, much less Trump Admin employees. If we’re going to have protected classes maybe political affiliation needs to be added.
The private airline is PJS.
Not MJN Air?
Although that was less of an airline and more of an airpoint.

robc mentioned Kevin Mitchell’s birthday in the am links. Mitchell should be in the hall of fame just for this catch.
https://youtu.be/4u0MzrYPm4w
Right on. Also saw that (quite late) in the morning lynx and didn’t even need to click to know exactly what catch that was. Before baseball got woke last year I was a huge Giants fan.
Nice effort, but too little too late.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Wednesday a woman accused of voter fraud and depicted in online videos in San Antonio has been arrested.
Paxton said Raquel Rodriguez is charged with election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail and unlawfully possessing an official ballot. If Rodriguez is convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison, Paxton said.
Nah, this is what I care about. Find and convict as many as possible.
Yep, voter fraud undercuts the confidence in our electoral system. Lack of confidence in elections breeds the suspicion that the resulting government is illegitimate. Say what you want philosophically about the legitimacy of our system, it is the system we live within, and if we don’t have real confidence in it, we have nothing, and it will be replaced, perhaps unexpectedly and without warning, by something else.
It is important to discourage fraud and to see that those who commit it are brought to account.
She’s innocent. I’ve been told there is no such thing as voter fraud.
After the shroom kick in…

Well, that took a turn.
I miss tripping on mushrooms, acid or mescalin. I had to get sober in my late 20’s because things were completely out of control and completely unmanageable. Life has turned out well and i am ok without that stuff, but i really miss those drugs specifically. Most of the best days/nights of my life were while i was tripping. That story brought me back.
No indoor restaurant dining allowed in Michigan until at least February 1.
It is my earnest prayer to the great God on high that Gretchen Whitmer burns in hell for eternity for what she has done to the children of Michigan.
Fuck the Children! I want to go have a fucking Beer at the Brewery!
Fuck the children: https://www.lingq.com/en/learn-english-online/courses/87644/george-carlin-kids-parents-232138/
No indoor dining in Balmore, for at least forever. However, every single restaurant outside the city is open. They didn’t commit suicide hard enough when they lost 40% of their population over the past decade, they’re going for the trophy.
And the attitude must be contagious.
I wanted to get oysters delivered and the only place I could find in the city that would deliver, suddenly stopped delivery. I just wanted 2 25 cnt bags of oysters to shuck at home, but how they stopped delivering and only offer pickup at the door. So, no indoor dining, no outdoor because it’s winter. No delivery only pickup at door.
So I called them and I said ‘how much does it take to get you to deliver 2 bags of those?’.
Them: We don’t deliver.
Me: Why not. How much is your delivery fee?
Them: We don’t deliver right now.
Me: Those 2 bags are $77, I’ll make that $100, bring them over, it’s 4 miles.
4.freaking.miles. Almost every family owned business around here have went under.
Them: We don’t deliver.
Well, OK, you just lost $100. There’s no way I can believe they are doing that well. People around here are Asshoe.
In ten thousand years I want her to look up at me in heaven and beg for just a drop of water to cool her tongue. I’ll just smile and say sorry I can’t help you. I have to follow the science and data.
Really think Trump needs to come back for a third impeachment in 2025.
COMPLETE THE TRILOGY!
Too easy, they would have him elected just they could impeach him again, He would be phoning it in,
It’ll be interesting to see over the next few years whether they’ve managed to break his spirit or not. Maybe he will run again if he isn’t convicted in the Senate but he’d be pretty damn old.
he should faux relocate some place quasi purple in the midwest and then run for senate.
That’d be funny and being a Senator is the biggest plum job in all of Washington. I’ve never figured out why people desire the Presidency, it’d suck.
I dunno, Trump seems to like it, run-down White House and all.
I don’t think he’d make a particularly good senator but it would be funny so I support it.
The best trolling would be if Melania ran for FL Senator and won.
“On a random note, this is my congressional district
This seems perfectly reasonable”
LOLWTF???
Genital herpes is from chimps, and pubic lice are from gorillas. Apparently our forebears liked spladoinking other primate species.
Hey, pal, maybe _your_ genital herpes is from chimps. The rest of us got it in the normal fashion.
Well he is British……
From one of those French girls? What’s the difference? Rather hairy and unwashed, aren’t they, old bean?!
*chortle*
Wife and I have been watching Pennyworth and loving it.
I can perfectly envision your comment coming from one of the characters.
HIV is from chimps, but most likely from eating them since it mutated from SIV in a part of Africa where chimps are hunted and eaten.
Being eaten? Yeah sure that’s it, it must’ve been when we ate that chimp.
Understand that it’s really hard to fuck a chimp. A female chimp is 3x stronger than a human male. I suppose you could rape a corpse, but then we also know from blood tracing patient zero traveled down the river to town and then had sex with several prostitutes.
That woulda been one horny dude.
Since the part of Africa he came from culturally depends on hunting and killing chimps, researchers assumed it mutated into HIV in his stomach.
I listened to a 30 minute Radiolab on this subject and don’t remember all the details of how they gleaned the info but it seemed convincing.
Rule 34
haha
Jeez, it’s bad enough that they are screwing ’em. Do they have to have oral sex with them too? Or do they do that so they have deniability like Clinton? I did not have sex with that chimp, Bubbles.
There is no proof Epstein’s island didn’t have a petting zoo.

Work email just popped up with a workshop for “healing, unity, and closure following the events in our nation’s capital.”
Elon, finish the hyperdrive so we can go to another solar system.
YOU WILL ACCEPT THE UNITY.
Oh fuck off.
Of all the trends in modern America, this has to be one of the worst. We’re conditioned to be constantly traumatized, constantly triggered, constantly in a state of victimhood.
The Chinese are going to eat us for lunch.
Is that one of the things that if you don’t attend you’re marked as one of them or is it just mandatory?
Hey, remember when our news media and idiot Twitter class was rending garments over the expanding commie caliphates popping up in public parks in the northeast? Neither do I, and the commies actually managed to hold territory for longer than fifteen minutes.
Local TV news had a report today about the Virginia Tech mask study that “proves” masks are effective at blocking things 10 times the size of the coronavirus.
The study was released *back in November*.
God journalists have become even more blatant propagandists.
Hanlon’s Razor says they’re just stupid, not evil.
I say it’s both.
A floor wax and a dessert topping?
These lab studies are largely useless. We have plenty of empirical results that say they’re next to useless.
not next to useless
Is that the one where they covered up some hamster cages?
The hamster cage study is the height of “confirmation bias.” If that study came to a conclusion that people didn’t want to hear, it would have been shredded to pieces in three questions:
1. Are we hamsters?
2. Do we live in cages?
3. Do we use the masks to cover holes in our cages, or do we wear them on our faces?
After answering those three very simple questions to answer, the “study” would be deposited in the circular bin where it belongs.
Instead, since it delivered the necessary result, it was praised.
Dude..that is old, tired, white science. This is SCIENCE!
I think they put the masks on mannequins or something.
And of course nobody asking why “cases” keep rising if more people are wearing masks.
I’ve been thinking about how our national “leaders” are complete trash. We have some protesters who are very much armed, some who like to burn shit down and shoot lasers at people, and the national guard, all converging. There’s a high probability something very bad will happen. Anyone with an ounce of leadership skills would be out there trying to deescalate the situation. But nope, let’s keep making it worse. Let’s dial up the rhetoric and let’s impeach Trump.
Biden is already the worst president in my lifetime.
Is there any possible way that he couldn’t be?
He campaigned on the idea that 50% of the country are white supremacists, so I guess not.
At some point, it dawns that they’re not well meaning morons, they know exactly what they are doing. They seek the excuse to violently subjugate the deplorables. The last time we heard rhetoric like this was the start of the Iraq War.
Insurrectionist terrorist white supremacists are a threat to our democracy.
Yup. They want this. They know that they won’t be the ones physically or financially harmed and they know that the media will be fully on board with them consolidating even more powers if there is violence. Fucking monsters.
I’m sure when this is all over they can just stuff that genie back in the bottle and everything will be fine.
Get get get! Go go go! Down down down! Mine mine mine!

On Incitement to Violence | A Dangerously Expanding Definition & a Free Speech Impeachment
Logical; well articulated; backed with facts and unemotional; doesn’t matter
Seriously, Christiansen’s good but sound arguments don’t mean jack anymore.
I dont know how many remember the ussr but a lot of what I hear now is the same gibberish completely divorced from reality as we heard from them 50 years ago.
morons cant learn
We’re fucked, I saw a Southern Republican voted Yes on the impeachment. That’s got to be a man who’s tired of his job.
I heard Hannity and his grating voice on the way home. His attitude was pretty much “I don’t give a shit, this is just another idiotic day in DC”
is that what it is? he is always right but I cant stand listening to him
I thought it was his machine-gun delivery but now that you say that…
While I do think today bodes badly, it was refreshing to hear a national personality say that. DC is stupid, feckless, cynical, evil and shouldn’t occupy all of our thoughts.
My father likes this scene from No Country For Old Men. It applies here.
https://youtu.be/d1U3MyX0pmE
Hannity is always right?
The single good thing about Hannity is when he called Brian Stelter, Humpty, and Stetler cried about it on air.

He was a big proponent of “the war on terror” and so his newfound rhetoric concerning individual rights rings hollow to me.
Well, half of what used to be the population of California are now in the South, with more on they way, daily.
They’re like a disease, mindlessly destroying all before them.
Collectivism is a bigger threat.
The fight against incitement to violence is inciting me to violence.

Exhibit #23,441 in how educrats are fucking dumbasses. (TW:TOS)
The students were evacuated to the football field as Hazmat teams rushed to the scene. The local prosecutor was alerted, as were the police. Responders entered the building and went room by room. What calamity beset Haddon Township High School in New Jersey’s Camden County last week? A bomb threat? A gas leak? Anthrax?
Worse. Dinnerware.
Absolute ninnies, the lot of them.
Yeah, what a silly overreaction, I’ve got several of the old hot Fiestaware plates. It’s neat stuff.
Exhibit #23,442.
That is frightening and disgusting.
“You are a racist, sexist, homophobe but let us proceed to only see the world through skin pigment, sex, and sexual orientation.”
This adds credence to Vikings points that those voting now, and those voting in the future, are all brought up this way.
Yep. My MIL is a teacher. Shes a Christian, a conservative, a Trump voter. She was complaining about the drivel they make her teach, that puts this kind of identitarian divisive garbage in kids head.
But she still teaches it.
Ever read “The Children’s Story” by James Clavell?
Never have I ever.
Saw the film in school.
That the parents didn’t demand the teacher was fired on the spot and when that wasn’t done, dump the principal’s smashed lifeless body in an alley indicates that the parents aren’t much different.
Uh, in The Children’s Story the US has been conquered by the commies.
It’s an untenable coalition: elite whites willing to assuage their guilt by punishing poor whites and poor whites that feel superior to unenlightened whites. The poor whites will eventually realize they are being played. It sucks because I don’t want society to become split down racial lines like in prison.
PRISON PLANET!
“The irony is that, despite being 94 percent nonwhite, Meyerholz Elementary is one of the most privileged schools in America. The median household income in Cupertino is $172,000, and nearly 80 percent of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher. At the school, where the majority of families are Asian-American, the students have exceptionally high rates of academic achievement and the school consistently ranks in the top 1 percent of all elementary schools statewide. In short, nobody at Meyerholz is oppressed, and the school’s high-achieving parents know that teaching intersectionality instead of math is a waste of time—and potentially dangerous.”
Also, I doubt an eight-year-old could understand that gibberish.
It is no different as if a school taught that grass was blue and the sky was green and then amplify that over and over for 12 years. It starts as gibberish and ends up being rote.
You’d get a definition flip of green and blue.
Of course they don’t understand it. All they’re supposed to get out of that lesson is that white people are oppressing you, and if you happen to be white, you should feel guilty about how much you oppress others.
Told bitch boss that “Darnit all, but I’m not gonna be able to squeeze your company into my schedule this year after the contract ends in March. Hope you can find someone else.” She freaks out. “Wut? You can’t work here next year? Do you know anyone that you can recommend?” JFC. As if I’d send an acquaintance over to work for her. What a loon.
Heh. Bitch boss calls again and tries to get me stay on. She realizes she’s failing and hands the phone to her underling (a very nice lady) who basically starts pleading. “Sorry, but I can’t”
I do so much contract work that I recognize a poisoned office quickly. These people have worked so long for this nasty lady that they don’t understand work doesn’t have to be this way. Feel sorry for the underlings cuz they’re typical, nice Japanese people. But, what am I supposed to do? Suck it up for their sake?
Depends? Does their sake taste that good?
I’ll show myself out.
Ah-so that one coming from a mile away.

I just spent too much time going through her TikTok videos.
Just one of my favorite days ever.
I know those days.Many many times in ski towns bar hopping.Then I ate them in FL where our friend, after we stuffed our mouth chewed and swallowed said, “oh don’t eat the stems”. I was ok with just a bit of a stomach ache but my other friend was dry heaving and cramped up on the floor in a fetal position. Fucking pussy. He was fine in an hour or so and then we danced around a bonfire on the beach and became idiots. I retain idiot but do less dancing on a beach these days.
Are…are you on them now? Cause that reads like a man on shrooms.

Nope. Tequila, but I may have double poured the last one because well, I may have double poured the last one.
Acceptable answer. Except tequila…my family has the gene in which tequila makes us black out and do crazy stuff.
I don’t smoke the drugs
I have consumed the drugs enough already. I’m happy to stick with alcohol these days.
Hrm…I’m staring at my shrooms right now. I did a gram or so a month ago to make sure that it wouldn’t be a profoundly bad idea with my head being the way it is. Test was a fantastic trip for how much I did. I have a bit more than an eighth and I’m just figuring out when I should make the next journey.
I love my mushrooms. They are very special. I want to cuddle.
I hope you have a good trip. That stuff isn’t a toy.
They legalized them in Denver. There is some legit studies that found they help with ptsd in micro doses using a regime. There is nothing wrong with shrooms.
Sure. Still gotta be careful with it.
Oh no, they absolutely are not. I would say that they are probably my favorite drug. Lasts six hours so just a day; profound mental exploration and discovery and growth; visual and auditory fun….and then everything’s reset the next day.
Standing on the edge of a new contract and a jump back to Daejeon and a life of my own once again. Lots of thoughts to process and goals to explore and flesh out. I have a pretty long history of doing hallucinogens before a major change in life. I stand by it, but usually the hard part is to actually find something! But now that I’m just staring at them…waiting for the opportune moment.
The suspense is killing me….

Dave was clearly talking about neighbors snitching on people for breaking quarantine/mask mandates. Only an asshole would assume he was talking about sexual assault.
