During the Glibs Zoom last night…I screwed up. I said I would do the Links for this morning. Oof. But OMWC is out of pocket, SP has enough going on and we couldn’t pin Tonio down…that is when I made the mistake of speaking up.
But, once pledged, THE LINKS SHALL BE DONE! So, you’ve go that going for you. Which is nice.
First up – BUGSBUGSBUGS! (h/t Nephilium).
Next – Kyrgyz Trump.
And Then – SEA SMITH has some ‘splaining to do….and maybe some fines to pay. Maybe we should have a GOFUNDSMITH?
Go forth and comment! Or whatever ZARDOZ would command of you.

I HATE seeing soooo many commercials featuring face masks these days. Does not bode well for the future.
We flip the bird to the TV a lot lately.
And avatars.
Right?

I forget where but someone had the sense to say “What’s with the mask? You afraid of catching the coof through the internet?”
Billboards. Bugs the fuck outa me.
Saw a lipstick commercial last night. The selling point was the lipstick is “mask resistant”. Jeebus.
Ummm….do you happen to remember what brand?
Asking for a friend.
So we won’t buy it?
Smearproof lipstick has been around for a couple of decades.
I’m a huge believer in Covergirl “Outlast” line of lip sticks. That stuff will last all day.
Been using it for years.
Frankly, I don’t want it so much for the color. I need to keep applying a really moisturizing gloss repeatedly throughout the day to keep my lips from drying up and falling off, even in summer, it seems. Been using a barely-tinted sheer Clinique gloss for a while now. It’s actually not bad for staining the mask when I have to put the damn thing on to leave my office or go into a store. Always looking for other options, though. Some pretty smearproof lipsticks or “stains” I’ve found rather drying.
Sorry, my eyes rolled so far back in my head that I missed the end of the commercial. If I see it again, I’ll pay better attention.
I hate the masked ads too. I’m not going to catch an infectious disease over the television (or billboard) so it’s clearly a signal.
What is the message?
1) Masks are fun & quirky
2) This is the New Normal
3) Honest attempt to encourage compliance with “rules”
4) A harbinger of single-message propaganda by state united with chosen connected corporations
It’s corporate virtue signaling, and the message is the same as always: “buy our product”.

Just because we want to completely plan and control the economy doesn’t mean we’re socialists
The U.S. economy added more than 900,000 jobs last month. For most White House officials, that would be considered a banner number. For Janelle Jones, the top economist at the Labor Department, there is much more work for the Biden administration to do.
Jones, the first Black woman to ever hold her position, says it would take a year of similar jobs reports just to get back to where the economy was before the pandemic. But even then, she says, getting back to the status quo is not enough.
“I’m not really going to be satisfied if we return the economy to February 2020,” Jones told NPR. “I think we can do better than that. I think we can return the economy to a time when wages were growing for workers, when bargaining was strong, when we saw benefits really increasing.”
From her perch at the Labor Department, Jones is one of the Biden administration officials facing the enormous task of addressing historic economic disparities that have only intensified during the global pandemic — in particular for communities of color. At a time when the economy is showing signs of rebound, the focus for Jones is how to ensure those gains reach everyone.
Workers of the world, unite. Smash capitalism.
There was record low unemployment rate for minorities, and yet these morons would have you believe that times had never been worse for people of color in America.
Systemic racism!!!!
It’s just
wageslavery with extra steps.And lest we forget, record numbers of minorities voted for Trump in The Fortification™️. They wanted more of what he did.
But, yeah. Those are all just Uncle Toms and whatever equivalent term they use for other Race Traitors who succumbed to White Supremacy.
These people are fucking delusional with their “white supremacy” schtick. It seems pretty clear to me that this line of argumentation is coming from a place of weakness. I’m not convinced that anyone other than those who already believed that nonsense is buying it.
Step away from the NPR. For your sanity.
How is it that PBS still produces and airs excellent pro-Liberty content (mostly from “Free to Choose Media”, a legacy of Milton Friedman) but NPR is full-on socialist?

Also racists, sending ships to the black sea. We also send ships to the red and yellow seas, but never to the white sea.
TBF, the navy does have more flexibility and less inherent risk than say, dropping another thousand troops in Ukraine (not sure if we still have trainers on the ground there at this time). Legally they can only stay in the Black sea for 2 weeks at a time, and their presence could impact decision-making positively. In that region, I think a Gulf of Tonkin scenario is far less likely.
We have no business there, give me a good reason,
Not gonna justify it explicitly, but it does show support for allies and the NATO alliance (which still exists even if I don’t like it at this point) – and if it works as a point of consideration for parties [de]escalation at limited risk to our troops, it’s worthwhile. Free movement of the seas (including the Black sea even as Russia tries to monopolize it) is a mandate of the Navy.
C’mon man! Those missiles are no good just laying around. And those defense contractors that made generous campaign donations need a reason to build more. So we can use them against brown people.

The latest job numbers illustrate the stark challenge that the administration faces. While the overall jobless rate dropped to 6% in March, unemployment only fell to 7.9% for Latinos and 9.6% for African Americans.
“If the overall unemployment rate was 9.6% for all workers, we would be running around with our heads on fire. That is crisis levels of unemployment,” Jones said.
Even when the economy was booming during the Trump administration and jobless rates hit historic lows, Black unemployment remained at about twice the rate of white unemployment.
Maybe someday black unemployment will make it back to where it was when the Bad Orange Racist was in office. But until every black woman is CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Amerikkka will be a racist shithole.
The reported unemployment rate in NYC is over 12%. What are you going to “do” for us, ma’am?

“Vaccinations are an important tool for making the fall semester safe,” says Antonio Calcado, who leads the Rutgers COVID-19 task force. “We felt that just simply encouraging would not have the same effect as a requirement.”
Colleges have struggled this year to control outbreaks on campus. Residential campuses are social spaces, where viruses can (and did!) spread through dorms, off-campus housing and parties. And campuses aren’t insulated from their communities; there is research to suggest that spread of the coronavirus among students led to nearby deaths in nursing homes.
“Research suggests” we have successfully discarded most of what made us, and western civilization, successful.
It’s only a matter of time before the degeneracy of man is complete.
You’re not listening to Rhywun…
That ship sailed decades ago. Schools already require all sorts of vaccinations.
Mine didn’t.
Huh. Mine required all the usual childhood shots.
Oh, *childhood*… Maybe mine did and I’ve forgotten supplying proof. I didn’t even think to get a meningitis vax.
More and more colleges are requiring, or state laws require, a full range of vaccinations, with no exceptions for distance/online enrollment. And this was before covid.
Vaccinations for things that did not pose any risk to those being pushed to get vaccinated? We are in new territory here.
We’re all in this together. Get with the program, comrade. Your selfish individualism must bow to the collective Greater Good.
No, this is old established territory. Hep B vaccine is required for all children. The first shot in the series is injected within 24 hours of birth for infants.
Hep B is transmissible through intercourse and intravenous drug use. There is zero risk of Hep B for any infant or child that wasn’t born to crackhead. And used to only be given to the children of crackheads. Several years ago the CDC voted to make it mandatory for all children.
My children have not gotten the Hep B vaccine. We have to tell the hospital that their pediatrician will give it and then it took calling six different practices to find one who is okay with our modified vaccine schedule (essentially we follow the 1988 CDC schedule).
Even then, saying schools require it is not quite right. Since school is compulsory, essentially it is the State requiring it of all children which is much worse and intrusive. Homeschooled children still must provide proof of receiving Hep B (and all other required vaccines) upon request by the State unless if you fall into a few special groups granted an exception.
Huh. I am not up to date I guess. My kid is 26 and I don’t even remember the vaccination days.
Yeah, at 26 your kid was in a different vaccine world then exists now. May have even been on the 1988 schedule.
I was on the 1983 schedule, and I think I received 7 shots in total. The last time I looked, children are required to receive something like 39 different shots.
I couldn’t tell you how many I have had. I have a vaccine book as big as my passport. All, except childhood ones, were voluntary to get a work visa in some or other shithole.
Nobody needs 39 kinds of vaccine. (Am I doing this right Bernie?)
Low risk, not no risk. Which is similar to many longtime vaccinations.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/articlepdf/209448/joc70121_2155_2163.pdf
The prevaccine infection numbers for most diseases was quite low and the CFR for many was also low as well. MMR is a requirement not just for schools but hospital workers in over a dozen states and for patients in 3 states.
“You gotta get ’em dip-tet boosters yearly or else they’ll develop lockjaw and night vision.” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093822/quotes/qt1237489
In addition to becoming a distribution site for the vaccine, Rutgers University will also begin a mass communication campaign to educate the student body and the surrounding community, about the importance of getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
“We’re having students do videos,” says Calcado. Administrators are working with the university’s student government to design messages that resonate. “We need to take out the noise, and concentrate on what the science says. The message is: What are the facts? What do we know?”
Calcado says it’s not just the current or prospective students he has in mind for this. “When our students go back to their communities, to their families,” he says, “you know they’re armed with good information.”
What are the facts?
What do we know? Not a goddam thing, apparently. That’s why we need this massive propaganda campaign.
It’s all so tedious. The lines have been drawn. Is there anyone being swayed in either direction at this point?
I look at all of this as battlespace prep for the next phase. The one where a vax passport is required to travel or gain admittance to any store with a national presence. Also included in this phase will be some sort of liability waiver plus strong suggestion for employers to tell their employees to get the vax or be fired.
Thissssss
Yes
For a virus that is functionally a bad flu.
I’m finding more people gaining skepticism about effectiveness of lockdowns and the arbitrariness of the “scientific” guidelines.
Stories of horrific consequences of lockdown and cutoff access of non-Covid disease treatment are slowly spreading, including by word of mouth and personal experience.
My own husband’s ICU delirium/psychosis was brought on in part by the dozens of faceless doctors, nurses, orderlies he’s dealing with in the hospital.
I go in his room and immediately take my mask off so he can see me and understand my speech. Occasionally an annoying nurse (one in particular, who’s probably a delight at parties) keeps poking her head in and telling me to wear my mask at ALL times, including in the patient’s room.
The Covid negative patient. The one who’s holding my hand in his new-found sanity and who bit my own lip in the height of his psychosis. I need to wear a mask with him.
Sure, Nurse Ratched, I’ll get right on that.
I swear to god, masks are a combination of Jim Crow laws and Nazi armbands.
And around as effective as putting magnets in your shoes…
But…but…they said I’d float away if I didn’t!
So let’s be clear. The universities are doing this because there is no liability to them. If anyone suffers long term health issues from the vaccine, it’s no skin off their back.
I doubt they’ve even consulted with the immunologists in their own med schools.
If they were being honest, they’d at least outline the fact that there are no long-term safety results on any of these vaccines, but particularly the mRNA versions.
Individual choice be damned. And woe unto the incoming freshman that they dropped this bomb onto if they’ve already declined other schools and are now being forced into taking it.

Speaking of which- have the face diapers made it onto regular teevee shows yet?
Made it to the comic strips. Hooray for Peanuts repeats.
I’ve seen promo shots for the last season of Shameless showing the characters wearing masks.
That show sucks now anyway. They should have ended it when Emmy Rossum left. Not that it wasn’t going downhill before then.
I’ve only seen it on some reality shows I watch… Hoarders*, a couple food shows. And of course sports – where the ‘rona apparently only attacks people who stand still.
I don’t watch scripted television any more.
*where they don’t really offend given how common it’s always been for the cast to need to wear a mask when entering some of the more disgusting hoards
On BattleBots lately, some teams wear masks and some don’t. Thankfully, the hosts don’t. They have the obligatory plexiglass shield between them, but often seem to scoot out in front of it when chatting between fights.

Xhe seems overjoyed to have her cynical prejudices about “old white men” confirmed by fictional characters.
*Note that she didn’t actually read it, just read about it via the talking points that were generated for it on pathological SJW social media of some kind or another. Premium reflexivity in culture war idiocy. I do not want to be financially responsible for this person in the years to come.

She is aware that current pop-culture is recasting everything in her favor, right?
I.e. these things don’t “turn out” that way, they are specifically ret-conned due to terror of the woke mobs.
Thank you. People get pretty weird about their comic books. I’m not a huge marvel fan, but I do like how relatable Cap is. I think he stands for the core of what most people want to see in our military. Not that it’s accurate, but I hope there are a few people entering the military or going out of their way to right a wrong, that are semi inspired from some good old fashion childhood brain washing.
So the one comic which retconned decades of history, and wound up being retconned itself (Red Skull and Cosmic Powers IIRC) makes Cap a Nazi forever.

Today, in Extremism in the Military
Nearly 40% of US Marines are declining Covid-19 vaccinations, according to data provided to CNN on Friday by the service, the first branch to disclose service-wide numbers on acceptance and declination.
As of Thursday, approximately 75,500 Marines have received vaccines, including fully vaccinated and partially vaccinated service men and women. About 48,000 Marines have chosen not to receive vaccines, for a declination rate of 38.9%.
OH
MY
GOD!
And speaking of rooting out extremists in the military- how long ’til they float a proposal to bring back the draft? People who volunteer to defend their country cannot be trusted to fight for their government. Bring back mandatory public service!
If I have thought of this, you know Kamaula has.
Good. At least we have Marines that have some sense.
On the surface, I agree with their personal choices, but in the big picture, it’s a PITA. Due to DoD regs, that means you have to waste taxpayer money paying for folks to isolate every time they transfer or move for training, etc.
Due to local regs, I’m stuck here for remote drill this month (probably the only person not drilling in person) because the base CO wants everyone unvaccinated coming from Norfolk to isolate for 2 weeks – and my company has already paid for that 2x this year. Need to get it done so that I can support inspections this summer, etc. 2 weeks in isolation is expensive and a massive waste of training/operations time.
There was a line in the SECDEF’s memo about “honoring the oath to uphold the Constitution” which of course is precisely the point of those extremist Oath Keepers. Irony, even better when unintentional.

As UCSF infectious diseases expert Dr. Monica Gandhi puts it, you should still be wearing a mask to fulfill your social contract to your fellow neighbor.
“The idea that we’ll all be wearing masks in public for a short period of time can be rankling to some,” Gandhi said. “But I consider it … sort of a polite thing to do.”
Two

“It’s almost impolite that some of us can run around scot-free and some of us have to wear a face mask and so I guess that’s how I’m framing it, and I’m going to be criticized for that.”
I get it. You’re a thumbsucking moron.
Don’t blame others for your agoraphobia.
I’m a little amazed she had the self awareness to recognize that she could be criticized. You would think that kind of self righteous mind would denigrate anyone who would dare to criticize.

“Why celebrating ‘mixed-race beauty’ has its problematic side
The trend personified by the Kardashians is driven by the aesthetics of ambiguity – and proximity to whiteness
This “trend” had an impact on mixed women – at least those of us with Black and white heritage – as we found that our features became covetable and desirable, just as long as they were wrapped in the palatable package that comes with proximity to whiteness.
And that is why it’s impossible to see the rise of mixed beauty ideals as a positive thing, because at its heart sits an unsettling insistence on white superiority.”

Do you know who else was against race mixing?
JFC! Who is writing this shit? Who is printing it? This is blatantly racist garbage.
Pretty much everyone on the left.
The triathlon is impure.
Narrator: Literally everyone is “racially mixed”.
Most black Americans have some white dna. I’ve actually been told that it is the presence of white DNA that is responsible for criminal behavior among some blacks.
We can’t leave Afghanistan!
It’s probably full of white supremacists.
“Watch the moment federal officers rushed out to respond after #antifa set the @ICEgov facility on fire last night. Antifa barricaded the front of the facility to trap people inside while the building was on fire.”

Mostly peaceful burning people to death.

I had to go to yahoo search to finally find it. Google and Lycos didn’t have it on the list.
Again?! Why isn’t this national news, I wonder.
/Look over there! Something racisty happened somewhere!
And the Dem-media complex have to admit there is a problem? They haven’t hit bottom yet.
Any body that successfully suppresses the urge to retaliate against those antifa barbarians is a better person than I am.
Attention, citizen- stand by for an announcement from the Ministry of Truth
That extends an opportunity to President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats to find an ally in an unlikely place when the party has unified control of the federal government for the first time in a decade. Biden is pushing an ambitious $2.3 trillion infrastructure package that includes corporate tax increases — which the White House is characterizing to CEOs as upfront investments that will ultimately make companies more profitable.
“It’s important for making the country more competitive,” said Cedric Richmond, the White House’s director of public engagement. “We think the plan is so important to the country that we are advocating and singing its praises to all businesses.”
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
“Yes, Herr Krupp, this large donation to the Party will, in the long term (over next 1,000 years), rebound in increased profits and infrastructure benefitting your company.”
JFC.
They could literally quote Mussolini and the drooling pack of dogs wouldn’t even notice.
Good morning, friends!
?
Good morning to you too!
Just as important, Democratic counties have become the primary engines for growth. The counties that backed Biden last year account for 71% of all U.S. economic activity, according to the Brookings Institution.
Why do I assume that “economic activity” number relies heavily on the government spending portion of GDP?
That, and it also signifies that leftist enclaves had larger amounts of economic damage due to government meddling.

I’m enjoying the Hail Lobster stuff so much.
It’s getting results, too.
I have missed out on what all that means but I am not a comic geek so it is expected.
A hack writer made Jordan Peterson a villain who was originally associated with the Nazi party. The villain is known for faking identities and trying to take over the world.
The memes are all Red Skull and JPB quotes.
One of my favorites.
I like how the lobster legs appear to make little OK signs.
Hey, on the tweety the daughter is standing in front of Tres Cool’s avatar.
In addition to the previously mentioned hot peppers I’m growing this year, here are the other four varieties:

Not even gonna bother with jalapenos or habaneros this year.
Holy moly. Put the tp in the freezer now.
It’s food and a weapon!
I’ve never tried any of these varieties before.
Medical grade, as in you can track them through your digestive track.
If you want to hurt some people, plant some bell peppers near those hots.

Screw the Scoville scale.
I now name it the Sean scale.
White rabbits and Africa
It’s a good sign to see positive pushback against the circus show.
These hearings have been little more than opportunities for pols to display their complete ignorance with their attempts to make monkeys dance. It’s fucking grandstanding.
Good on Apple for having the balls to tell them to eat shit.

More than 50/50 chance they cave and someone shows up.
Maybe.
But even publicly saying “no” is a big step.
So I was futzing around looking for non-Android smartphones, and I came across this outfit. Anyone know anything about them – good or bad?
I’m thinking of buying the Librem mini as a starting point. Figure if I like that, I can move on to the phone.
Cincinnati’s Under the Weather has a solution to keep the insects off of you while you enjoy the great outdoors. The company started out making pop-up protective pods to keep out inclement weather at sporting games but has since gone on to create items like the IntubationPod. And this latest limited-edition invention is geared toward stopping cicadas.
Looks too much like some crap I’ve seen to “protect” people from Lil Rona.
