Happy Monday. Or not. I am quite busy, between Dad having a couple of procedures done last week, and prepping the house for my wife to be laid up for 6 weeks (after her upcoming knee surgery)…but the Links don’t want to hear my whining, they want to be POSTED!
- Ship still sinking. Rats spotted swimming away. Unlike Drumpf – this one might see a conviction.
- Neanderthal artists. No word on if they had clove cigarettes and all black clothing.
- Two things in this article made me give the dry, depressing laugh of East Germans in 1982. The word “despite” in the headline, and the numbers of “cases” reported being so miniscule.
- I guess the French criminal justice system is as effed up as some American jurisdictions.

We started out badly when the Homo sapiens killed the Neanderthals after fucking the hottest of them. If only our Neanderthal DNA was higher.
Well, if we were nailing the hottest ones of them, sounds like we got the best part…yes?
I think we may have gotten the hot DNA but not as many as the other good Neanderthal traits.
If you are a Euro or Asian background Tonio, then you have 1-2% Neanderthal. Pretty sure it is highest in Basque populations. Which may explain why the Basques are so frigging awesome.
Le grunt *blows hair out of face*
I am totally curious to find out what (if any) percentage of Neanderthal I have in me, but don’t want my data in a database somewhere.
Narrator *your data is already in a database somewhere*
Dammit, I should have known one of you would catch that. Yeah, but hopefully not *that* data.
prepping the house for my wife to be laid…
It’s about time, you salty dog!
…for 6 weeks (after her upcoming knee surgery)
Best wishes on a speedy recovery.
Laid Up! UP!
You Glibs are all working blue, eh?
No, just tangled up in it.
Um…boooooo?
It was, at least, subtle. And normally subtle ain’t really my thing.
I liked the subtly and the crossover from last thread. I give it at least a half of a yay.
I had ACL replacement surgery a couple of years ago. The hospital told me to use crutches for six weeks. After six weeks I visited the doc for a check-up. She said, “Oh, you could’ve gotten rid of those weeks ago.”
That has changed significantly. I had ACL reconstruction in 1985… I was on crutches for 90 days and it took 18 months before I was really able to run on it.
Had to wear a brace for 6 months and used one for strenuous activities for another couple years.
{raises hand} Complex bucket-handle tear, medial meniscus of the right knee; surgeon did arthroscopic surgery. Some people undergoing that surgery went back to skiing the next weekend, others (such as myself) weren’t as lucky. Took me about a month before I could ditch the crutch and several more before I was walking relatively “normally” again. Knee bends past 90 degrees hurt for around four to six months.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo tried to cut a deal with the state Legislature — offering to drop his bid for a fourth-term in exchange for not getting impeached, The Post has learned.
Trump got the best deals, and the best impeachments. Big league.

And right after they agree and time passes he forgets all about it and runs again.
What are they going do?
Yeah, IT’S A TRAP!
A record number of impeachments and he still kept his job while Cuomo will be one and done.

People who disagree with my politics should not be allowed to participate in polite society.
Nigel Farage’s former Brexit Party, which has been rebranded following departure from the European Union as the Reform Party, has had its bank account shut down.
Metro Bank has informed the Reform UK by letter that “after careful consideration, we are unable to continue to act as your bankers”.
Former Member of European Parliament (MEP) and current Reform UK leader Richard Tice accused the bank of making the decision “based on politics” and told The Telegraph that he fears for the viability of the party if they fail to secure alternative banking services.
Tice, who took over as leader of the party from Brexit champion Nigel Farage, said of Metro Bank’s decision: “It is absolutely outrageous.”
I’m sure this could never happen here.
Just build your own internationally viable monetary institutions. What, the regulations in place don’t allow for that? What a shame…

The “Remote Accessible Ballots for Eligible Voters” is being touted by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber as a way for voters to download ballots in the “comfort of their own home.”
“For the November 3, 2020 General Election, any voter can request to use Remote Accessible Vote by Mail,” the Secretary of State’s website states.
“A Remote Accessible Vote by Mail (RAVBM) system allows voters to mark their selections using their own compatible technology to vote independently and privately in the comfort of their own home. To use a RAVBM system, a voter must:
-Download the application
-Mark their selections
-Print their selections
-Sign the envelope (using the envelope provided with the vote-by-mail ballot or the voter’s own envelope)
-Return the printed and signed selections either by mail or by dropping it off at a voting location. The selections cannot be returned electronically.
Now they are just fucking with us.

“[W]e have a disagreement that I want to air with you,” Hewitt said to Fauci. “My friend, Chuck Todd, disagrees with me, too. It’s about children K-3. And as the grandfather of three of them, and I talk to a lot of parents, they don’t believe masks are a good thing. They believe they are developmentally difficult to deal with. They can hide developmental disabilities. They impair speech and hearing, and that they’re not very effective. And boy, they feel this strongly, and it’s what the UK felt. My grandkids were in school in England last year. Why do you disagree with the UK specialists and with the Wall Street Journal this morning, article by Dr. Makary and Dr. Meissner?”
“You know, Hugh, that is a difficult situation because you really do have to balance the risk of transmission versus the real risk, and I’m not putting down what you’re saying. It’s not comfortable, obviously, for children to wear masks, particularly the younger children,” Fauci replied. “But you know, what we’re starting to see, Hugh, and I think it’s going to unfold even more as the weeks go by, that this virus not only is so extraordinarily transmissible, but we’re starting to see pediatric hospitals get more and more younger people and kids not only numerically, but what seems to be more severe disease.”
A generation of children are going to have fucked up immune systems, among other problems.
“but what seems to be more severe disease.”
Why the gaslighting?
“…but what seems to be more severe disease.” Prove it asshole, give honest data and not data sent through the COVIDNATOR 2020 spin machine. That is all Americans want. Instead you will peddle your bullshit as long as you possibly can while you ejaculate on your own bobble head.
Great, more predictions from a guy who historically couldn’t predict which direction the sun would come up.
So true. At least gained some humility fr– hahahahahahahaha. Damn. I almost made it to the end.
Maybe the sickness has to do with the MASKS! it’s a breeding ground for more than bacteria, how about molds? oh yes, they can kill you quick, it’s fucking BS!

Underwear causes crotch rot! Go commando! Don’t practice basic hygiene!
Are you suggesting that wearing a mask is “basic hygiene”? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, but maybe it’s not the take you think it is.
I’m saying if you must wear one for whatever reason, replace it or clean it regularly Don’t keep wearing the same filthy rag for weeks or months and then act surprised at the result.

“An Ebola-like virus has been found in West Africa for the first time with a patient in Guinea dying from the extremely fatal disease.
Health authorities in Guinea have confirmed one death from the Marburg virus, a highly infectious hemorrhagic fever which causes suffers to bleed to death, the World Health Organization said on Monday.
The death marks the first time that the deadly disease has been identified in West Africa. There have been 12 major Marburg outbreaks since the virus was first discovered in the German town of the same name in 1967, mostly in southern and eastern Africa. Simultaneous outbreaks also occurred in Frankfurt and Belgrade, Serbia.”

The kid is obese.
This “shaming” ban needs to go away. Shaming serves a function.
Most fat/obese folks I know aren’t happy with their weight or health, and some are desperate to save themselves, but often it’s too late.
Then they need the outside stimulus, whether they want it or not at the time.
I’m not going to go out of my way to bring attention to it, but if someone who’s obviously been abusing their own health wants me to take experimental drugs for their benefit, then I feel no obligation to not say anything.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to criticize them, but when physicians are afraid to say “you should consider losing weight,” then we have a problem.
I think Mr. Chet has some sobering stories to tell in that regard.
None of this is “news”. JFC I hate the media.
The problem starts with there being a Team USA paintball team.
I read that and thought the same thing.
How are we going to win medals/awards if new contests aren’t constantly brought to the world stage from our popular culture before they take hold elsewhere? The Olympics took too long to consider making breakdancing an Olympic sport, since Koreans seem to dominate that now.

“I didn’t think that I was just going to be killed,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Dana Bash in “Being…AOC,” the first episode of the new CNN series “Being…” that airs Monday night at 9 p.m. ET. “I thought other things were going to happen to me as well.”
Asked if that belief was driven in part by her experience as a survivor of sexual assault, Ocasio-Cortez said past traumas weighed on her mind as she hid.
“Survivors have a very strong set of skills. And the skills that are required as a survivor, the tools that you build for resilience, they come back in right away,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview in her district in June. “And for me, I felt like those skills were coming right back so that I could survive.”
She also traced the feeling back to what she described as the “misogyny and the racism” that “animated” the “attack on the Capitol.”
“White supremacy and patriarchy are very linked in a lot of ways,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “There’s a lot of sexualizing of that violence.”
Whatever you say, sugartits. Now where is my sammich?
So the first episode is “Being…” a f’ing liar?
Give her a few years and this story will be how she was raped during the capitol riots. She’ll have lots of details, too.
“Survivors have a very strong set of skills.”
Like hiding behind their desks or in their closets in a totally different building?
Those are some real skills.
She’s got a T-shirt in her closet with “I survived Rush Week 2005”. She never said what kind of survivor she is, after all…
I’d love to see some actual proof that she was ever sexually assaulted.
My guess she was slapped on the ass when she tended bar or hit on by drunk patrons. If she was really sexually assaulted, then yeah, sorry to hear that.
Also remember she claimed that the capital officer gave her a menacing glare while he was looking for people to evacuate the building.
My money is on her making it up.
And the medics refused to obey the order, saying it was illegal
While it was clear this was the path Biden wanted to pursue, the process is complicated, given the President must sign a waiver ordering it within the military if the vaccine does not have full approval from the FDA, according to a senior administration official.
Monday’s memo from the Pentagon says vaccinations will be required starting in mid-September. If no Covid-19 vaccine has full approval by then, Biden is expected to sign a waiver that says members of the military do not have the right to refuse the coronavirus vaccine.
This will be introduced as evidence in the impeachment trial, presumably.

BOMBSHELL, BREAKING NEWS
A burst of new disclosures exposing the extraordinary efforts by ex-President Donald Trump to steal power after his election defeat constitute a grave warning about the future and his potential bid to recapture the White House.
The audacity of the former President’s attempts to subvert the law by weaponizing the Justice Department not only underscores how close the United States came to a full blown constitutional crisis this year. It also emphasizes that any attempt by Trump to use a war chest already worth $100 million to try to recapture the White House in 2024 would represent a mortal threat to democracy and the rule of law from a leader who was undeterred even by his own first impeachment.
New revelations emerging from Senate testimony, about a Trump Justice Department loyalist’s alleged behind-the-scenes efforts to call into question elections in states the ex-President lost, also render the continued GOP whitewashing of history about Trump’s crimes against the Constitution even more blatant and dangerous.
Aaaaaaand, I’m out. Some people clearly inhabit a different reality than me. Or they are just lying liars that want to propagandize everyone.
So someone in the DOJ thought he might have a case. God forbid.
The real crime was that Trump was keeping them away from their real job cleaning up after Hunter and burying evidence on his behalf\.
Why not both?
Wait… there was someone in the DOJ who actually supported Trump, as opposed to all the ones frantically working against him? That is a bombshell…
Capture? Recapture? is this Fucking King of the Hill? WoW?
Want a war? this is how you get a war.
“It also emphasizes that any attempt by Trump to use a war chest already worth $100 million to try to recapture the White House in 2024 would represent a mortal threat to democracy and the rule of law from a leader who was undeterred even by his own first impeachment.”
So I guess the groundwork is being laid for barring Trump from seeking reelection. This is what democracy looks like.
I don’t want him to, but now with that…I want him to. Would love to see all the tricks on the table on how they won’t certify his campaign in all the states.
Empire building ain’t got no end.
So the Pentagon disobeyed the orders of the Commander in Chief? Are charges being brought against those who failed to follow civilian leadership?

In July 2020 Trump announced that the United States would withdraw almost 12,000 out of the nearly 35,000 US soldiers based in Germany, bringing some home and redeploying others elsewhere in Europe.
But Pentagon officials, citing the need for long-term planning for such moves, did not take immediate action and the current level of troops in Germany remains around 35,000.
It’s almost as if the boys at the Pentagon knew in advance who was going to win the election.
The Pentagon needs a thorough house cleaning, and by house cleaning mean hangings.
Every one of the cocksuckers dragging their feet should have been fired and their pensions pulled but Trump, for all his loud talk, is a wuss.

It should be noted that the US is not homogeneous, that there are many areas that flouted the rules and many others that did not go so hard with the rules in the first place because the leaders knew they wouldn’t be supported in such action.

On behalf of our pal Fourscore, I am pleased once again to be shilling for the legendary Honey Harvest!
For any newbies or dementia patients, HH is an annual event hosted by Fourscore at his amazing compound near Emily, MN. Last year we had a terrific turnout, perfect weather, lovely people and NO MASKS! Honey processing, potluck, mead tasting courtesy of kinnath and so much more.
HH is held on the third Sunday in September, so the 19th this year. I maintain a list of veteran and potential Honey Harvesters. If you are interested, shoot me an email at:
minnetundra AT those evil fuckers from Mountain View.
Do it. You know deep down that you really want to meet Pope Jimbo.
I really wanna but moneys beyond tight, I can hope!
We would love to and maybe we might. Though we are dropping a pretty penny to hang out with Neph and Girlfriend the weekend prior. Calendar date pinned though.
What’s involved? Do we help actually harvest honey?
There will be honey production, but all post-hive removal. Mostly it’s sitting around eating, drinking, laughing and watching Jimbo hit on the women.
It’s a fun day and Fourscore’s place is smack dab in the middle of lake country, so you can make a weekend of it!
Newbies are sometimes eager to get their hands sticky but the novelty wears off pretty fast for most. Some last quite a while, until they hear the Glibs yukking it up outside. The regular workers will be happy to explain what they are doing. Lots of food and laughs.
There are those that think the night before with the NoDak boys is worth the pain and suffering the next day.
I’m gonna see if i can weasel out of the conference I have and get up there. Of course they scheduled the one conference I regularly attend on the next day. I’m hoping they decide to cancel the in-person portion again so that I can come up. I’ll be happy to sling honeycomb around. It has been about a decade since I last helped at harvesting honey.

Apparently, San Marino (pop. 33k) won 3 Olympic medals in Tokyo. Last week I saw one of the medalists on TV. He was an American wrestler from Michigan whose great grandfather immigrated from San Marino about a century ago. He represented San Marino at the Olympics presumably because there could be only one wrestler from the same country in each weight class. I wonder if the other San Marino medals were won by the actual residents of the country.
If memory serves, his grandfather won an Olympic medal competing for Lebanon.
That having been said, there are people who are legitimate candidates to compete for multiple countries, like Naomi Osaka who has a Japanese mother and Haitian father. (I don’t know which one she inherited the crazy genes from.)
According to 23&me, I have more Neanderthal DNA than 92% of people (although it’s still less than 2% of my DNA).

By mandating inoculations, corporate America is taking action in a way federal legislators cannot, said Dorit Reiss, a professor at UC Hastings College of the Law. Outside of requiring vaccines for its own employees, Reiss said the federal government “probably doesn’t have the power to say everybody in the U.S. has to get vaccinated or pay a fine.”
But insurance agencies might, a recent op-ed by Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal and Glenn Kramon in The New York Times suggests. In the model of policies that deny coverage for injuries sustained during dangerous activities, the authors indicate that insurers could start “penalizing the unvaccinated” because their refusal to immunize poses a threat to public health. Rosenthal is editor in chief of Kaiser Health News and Kramon is a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
In a world ruled by The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf…
If immunized persons are less likely to be infected or have less health issues if they contract COVID, then why would an un-vaccinated be penalized as being a threat to public health? Oh yeah I forgot, they are all full out shit.
These fucking Roperites are going to be surprised, shocked, when all of these tools they’re setting up are used against themselves.
“Dangerous activity” will now be any action the power structure does not like.
Fall off your bike without a helmet and get hurt? Coverage denied.
Speeding 10 mph over and crash with an injury? Coverage denied.
Stabbed at a Trump rally? Coverage denied.
Being in insurance I’ve suggested this was coming for years.
Well, then I fully expect all the fatties to have their policies cancelled. The smokers too. Let’s kick this shit off.
One of the places I recently worked at had a policy that if you were not taking a medication that was prescribed to you by your doctor, you would have your coverage cancelled. They (and my current work) do annual nicotine tests as well. Fail that, and it’s a $50 surcharge (I believe per month at one place, every paycheck at the other).
How would they know if you weren’t taking your scripts? That’s a new one to me.
Sean:
My guess would be it was an easy catch and coverage removal for chronic conditions (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and the like). Compare refill rates requests with the scripts, and that should easily identify those who weren’t even keeping up with the prescriptions. The company had fairly expensive health care, as I was one of the thinner employees, and that was when I was heavier then I am now.
prepare yourself for our totally serious administration in DC.
Great googly moogly…

“He also made the comments after announcing that there are now 13 children who have been hospitalized with the coronavirus, including two in intensive care. He blasted those who would use the word “only” in front of that number, citing the seven deaths of children under the age of 18 since the pandemic began in March 2020.”
I can’t imagine anything worse than losing a child. Which is why, O exalted one, standing on their graves stamps you as the lowest of life forms. You’ve seen this haven’t you?
https://www.healthy.nj.gov/health/chs/documents/Prelim2020LCOD.pdf
What’s this? Among the 25 and under, more deaths from accidents, homicide, suicide, cancer, and heart disease than from COVID? 5 TIMES more from suicide? Why so many suicides? Where is your outrage?
Jackass has an election soon. It’s the only reason he hasn’t gone full out.
Sad part is I assume whoever our feckless Rs put against him will lose.
I am not normally a violent man, but something about Murphy gets my blood boiling. / Note to 3-letter agencies, not an actual threat.
He killed as many grandparents as Cuomo with his policies. He just didn’t brag about how great he was.
Christ, what an asshole.
And New Jersey was one of the states hardest hit by COVID, yet it still barely registered as a threat to the young. Policymakers seem to not have a proper sense of proportion.
This ain’t about logic or science.
If immunized persons are less likely to be infected or have less health issues if they contract COVID, then why would an un-vaccinated be penalized as being a threat to public health? Oh yeah I forgot, they are all full out shit.

$40 for a ballcap? Say what you will about Donny the man knows how to grift.
I am on the fence about this stuff. Is it really “grift”? It is also well established I don’t really know the meaning of many words. Like Pectin. I know it is for canning but what the fuck is it? I never cared to find out. The new hat is dumb af but when I first saw it all I thought of was Hat and the Hair and what trouble bedazzled hat is going to cause.
As to “grift” I think AOC selling $40 sweatshirts is 100% grift because she preaches anti capitalism but has no problem using capitalism to fund her ventures. She is a fraud. OMB is an asshat therefore different levels of “grift” there. Apparently according to many in the twittersphere anybody who makes a living talking about libertarian politics and making liberty merch are grifters. Hence my ignorance as to what the word “grift” actually means in this day and age.
It’s grift because he is fleecing suckers, telling them one thing to get their donations, (or get them to overpay for apparel that (regardless if it’s a MAGA or Guardians hat) no grown man should be wearing in public unless he is actively playing baseball) and then not doing what he claims the fundraising is for. I haven’t done a deep dive but I’ve yet to see any rebuttal of the claim that of the 75 million plus Trump and his PAC’s have raised off the “Stop the Steal” etc.. not one cent has been spent to litigate the ‘stolen’ election. He’s selling political outrage the same way he sold steaks. Overcharge for a shitty product and convince everyone that the ‘Brand’ is what matters not the substance.
regardless if it’s a MAGA or Guardians hat) no grown man should be wearing in public unless he is actively playing baseball
*snort
I know nothing about any 75 million or any “stop the steal” campaigns. I am ignorant there as well. There have been some interesting developments in that area the past weeks though. None I care enough about to go find at the moment.
Anyone who buys a “Trump” branded hat or Trump branded steak gets what they made the choice for and deserve. People make poor buying choices every day. I don’t see how that is grift. The best selling baby powder for decades apparently causes cancer but everyone bought it because it was the brand they like. Americans having brand loyalty is not a new thing and or grift, it is good marketing to people who want to buy their shit. I am considering getting a TopLobsta t-shirt (and ordered a glibs beer glass that I have not received yet!) Are those two orgs grifters?
Are they telling you that the proceeds from your purchase of T-shirts or beer glasses will go for some cause that they wont actually go to? That’s the grift, it’s fraud plain and simple, It’s saying “Support me by buying this Merch and I’ll save America from the libtards” and then you spend the money on hookers and blow. Think televangelists and their tickets to Heaven. Yes there’s a bit of PT Barnum in every salesman, but I don’t think it’s that fine a line between “Buy my body spray and the hot chicks will sex you up” and “send me money and I’ll cure your cancer through the magic of crystals and pyramids” I could be wrong, maybe it’s just different sides of the same coin but it seems pretty cut and dried to me, even if I haven’t nailed down the specifics of what makes which which.
I think I just lost a customer due to my mask avoidance. I went into a property management office to drop off some keys for a job I did. It should have taken ten seconds and two feet into the office to drop them at the front desk but I got the wanker in there today that hates me because I told him off last year over his shitty attitude. He turned that ten seconds into two minutes by repeatedly asking me the same question. Then at the end asked me to put on a mask. I said no and he got huffy. Then the owner called me up all pissed with a tone that you use with a child. He got his ass hung up on. Fuck em. I’ll lose money rather than be treated like a misbehaving ten year old.
Good on Ya, treat me as an adult and we can talk…..
Cheers Bob. At this point we need to make a stand in whichever ways we can.
Going back and listening to some COVID debates from a few months ago. A lot of it seems rather quaint in comparison to our current hysterics but one particular thing is sticking out like a sore thumb.
The trials of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines indicated a higher resistance to reinfection than natural immunity.
That is completely inverted from our current situation. I think there are multiple conclusions you can draw from that, but it’s certainly a testament to the work of those like Geert Vanden Bossche who predicted exactly this situation from the beginning knowing those results from the trials.
I’d like to see the raw data from those studies because that sounds like a hair on fire lie. The vaccines as you know are spike protein based and are focused on that aspect while natural infection should impart a reaction to the spike protein as well as to other constituents of the viral bodies which should more effectively prevent a small mutation of that aspect from getting around the immunity. I call bullshit.
That was one of my unmentioned conclusions.
Pharmaceutical companies have never played games with trial numbers, this is known.

I have to call after 7:00 and see if I have to show up for federal jury duty. I’m hoping I have to do it. Beats working and maybe it’s an interesting case where I can make a difference. Don’t know if it’s criminal or civil, yet.
Here’s a question: are they going to exclude the unvacksed from jury duty?
I doubt it, but they’ll probably make me wear the feedbag.
What if you refused the diaper, too? I mean, they need warm bodies in there. I’m very curious, because at the same time they’re screaming about excluding unvacksed from certain aspects of life (or, requiring vacks to participate in certain parts of life), they need people on juries.
It is interesting, because most people view it as punishment (jury duty, that is.) Imma guess that everybody in the court is required to mask up. It’s federal and creepy Joe is in charge of it all. I have to wear them at work anyway. I prefer court to work, anyday. I can stroll in around 8:00 a.m. and take an hour lunch. Be home by 2:00 or 3:00. I hope I get picked. And, I might get to assert myself in whatever case it is. That’s how it went last time. I hope the BBQ place is still open down there. I miss the chili they serve.
You probably can’t get past the metal detector without a scrap of cloth over your face these days.
Interesting question! WIll they make the vaccinated wear masks so folks can’t tell who is who?
I can see it now. Vaccination is mandatory for jury service. Failure to do so is contempt of court. I can machine it’s already happened twice a mask refusenik. Judges act as unAmerican dictators in their courtrooms.
I can machine it’s already happened twice, too.
Stupid autocorrect.
Federal Grand jury? You could be tied up for years. And it would be harder for an employer to fire you as you could claim retaliation for not trying to get out of your civic duty.
I work for the city. They pay full pop for as long as it takes. the summons predicts, “average of two weeks.” I’ll do two years if I can, happily. BTW, not grand, just jury.
I got called for Fed jury duty a week before I was due to start a new job. I didn’t get picked, and started the job on time (worst job of my life, BTW)
The case was a terrorism criminal trial for the guy accused of bombing the US Embassy in Jakarta.
I found out a year later that a friend of mine’s parents were working at the Embassy in Jakarta at that time. Man, that would have been an easy out.
(normally I don’t mind jury duty, but not right before starting a job)
I worked for a place that had a customer from Jakarta back in the early nineties. He would buy every motorcycle we offered him. He’d fill a container about three times a year. After the maids killed all of the rich people, he stopped coming around. I guess he had his fun while it lasted.
This Is Rachel Uchitel, Representing Herself
For more than a decade, a sweeping nondisclosure agreement with Tiger Woods, brokered by Gloria Allred, has ruled her life. Now she’s ready to rip it up.
So she (likely) got 66% of $5m + $1m for 3 yrs. Best I can tell she has buyer’s remorse and is unhappy how she was portrayed and unable to defend herself thanks to the NDA. I couldn’t read more than the first 10 paragraphs or so of what looks to 1,500 words of sympathetic dreck.
If Gloria Allred is involved I hate it all. Didn’t Trump’s dalliance prove that NDAs are worthless anyway?

Swiss, Tonio, or any editor: Is there a way to reopen my upcoming article for edits? I found some typos I’d like to correct.
Slashballs?????
Unfortunately not, but I felt like I needed to write something, and I felt stuck with D/B so maybe this successful attempt at writing something will loosen up the works, so to speak.
You should be able to work on your post.
I don’t seem to be able to select it or click on it anywhere…it says “scheduled.”
Starting from today the health pass is mandatory in France. It includes dining outside. For some reason, I mistakenly believed that it affected only dining indoors. Probably got it confused with the rules in Moscow.
No indoors eating in Moscow without it? Gonna be a rough winter for unvaxxed restaurant patrons there.
I don’t have complete information right now but I’ve heard that all this business of indoor dining only for vaccinated got quietly cancelled–people just stopped dining in restaurants.
Covid vaccination will only be the first. Flu, polio, measles …sure, why not? And the list will only increase. Just as child support can block license renewals.

Yesterday(?) Mojo was pointing out that the same sentence can have several meanings depending upon the tone. Proof that we have a mole from The Bee:

?
Also ?. In my head I pooh-pooh all the “mole” talk but this is pretty uncanny.
I was going to point out yesterday (?) that this isn’t terribly unusual or particular to English but I didn’t want to steal anyone’s thunder. ?
Maybe document it and sue the bastards!
Free Money!111!1!!!
For sure!
Except the tweet referenced in the article is from 5 days ago, apparently Mojo is the plagiarist. For shame, Mojo, for shame!

It’s not a new idea. Anyway, this was the one I was really looking for:
OK, “Only put anywhere in this sentence”
Well, damn.
There’s always a way to be a smartass.

I guess the French criminal justice system is as effed up as some American jurisdictions.
Ya, that is effed up. Also effed up in France, I saw some video of police making the rounds at cafes to check Vax status to make sure the people eating in public were the right people.

Seems grrizzly posted same video I saw. Insanity.
OK so my Columbo box-set just arrived ? and it comes in two (2) cases with like a 16 disks in each case, all packed in on top of each other in the most inconvenient way imaginable. What in the ever-loving hell?
I immediately went on Amazon and ordered some proper cases to move them into.
Does anybody beta-test this shit?
Caveat Amazon?
I don’t blame them, I blame the chintzy DVD manufacturers. Most of my box-sets are in nice cases with at most a season of material in each one. I’ve never seen someone stuff four or five seasons into one case before.
I got a box set of Star Trek TNG that was like that. Four discs per insert, 10ish inserts crammed into a cheapo box. All 7 seasons in one container. Didn’t help that the plastic was brittle.
I’d be using Handbrake on those so fast. I hate flipping DVDs.
I ripped all my DVDs for convenience and play everything through Kodi.
Wish I could do the same on Blu-ray, but I don’t want to compress and even with that the storage required.
I don’t (presently) have a computer that can read DVD’s but I am in the near future going to be in the market for a new PC so that might be a feature to look for.
RE the Mac dumping due to snooping for the man, I read today that it only applies to photos stored in icloud. I have never enabled anything to icloud because fuck that. (and to the feds reading this I have nothing on my computer, photographic or otherwise that is illegal so fuck off) Have you heard otherwise or is this a principle thing for you?
It’s a principle thing, plus I have several other reasons to move back to Windows. I don’t like the direction Apple is taking – their obsession with breaking backwards compatibility has finally broken me.
I’ve been switching back and forth for months but this just made my mind up for me.
Gotcha. My work computer, that I spend about an hour a week on because my job is not a desk job is windows and I hate the thing. I am not sure I can make that jump to bring that hell into my personal time spent on computers which has been Apple for the past…..since 2008. And those fuckers have been snooping computers for the feds since they were developed so what is the point. I am too
dumblazy to figure out a secure cell phone platform/OS so I am kind of at the what’s the point stage.I’ve been about 80% Mac/20% Windows (in my personal life – work has always been 100% Windows) since 2006.
Macs are more pleasant to use – it is IMHO a better OS.
But Windows is more useful.
