As of a few hours ago…
Anything going on out in the hurtling ball of water, rock and gas we call home? Let us go see what a wonderful world it is out there!
- Flip flop, or flop flip? I wonder who instructed him to say that? First thing I thought was “Internal polling results must be horrid…or they need something to look tough on.”
- OK, maybe I won’t complain about prices at the pump here…it can get worse.
- How about a bit of laugh to take the edge off? I expect at least on “shart” joke in the comments.
- And the REEEEEEE’ing was heard all the way across the Earth.
Hmmm. After those links, I am sure the comments will be upbeat and fun!

“Al Roker slammed by waves while reporting on Hurricane Ida”
That’s just WACky.

“First thing I thought was “Internal polling results must be horrid…or they need something to look tough on.””
Well, you know the Afghanistan thing probably isn’t polling well, and it made him look weak.
“The summary, which was released by US officials on Friday, said US intelligence community has reached “broad agreement” that the coronavirus was not developed as a bioweapon, and that most US agencies assess with “low confidence” that it was not genetically engineered.”
So high-confidence that it was?
“However, the intelligence community remains divided on the pathogen’s origins, with four agencies and the National Intelligence Council judging in favour of natural exposure to an animal as the likely explanation, one agency favoring the lab leak theory and three unable to reach a conclusion.”
Aren’t there 18 intelligence agencies now?
We’d better listen to them. The intelligence community has really been kicking ass in recent decades.
Mr. Lizard probably knows where that virus came from. I wish he’d drop in.

Gain of function research is inherently dual-purpose, especially when done by a country (like China) with an active bioweapons program. I’ve heard that Wuhan had a PLA virology lab, although I suspect the entire Wuhan Institute was, shall we say, “aligned” with the PLA. If it was gain-of-function what done it, its hard for me to believe there wasn’t a bioweapons angle. Plus, of course, our own DOD was funding gain-of-function research at Wuhan.
I have not heard that the problems with the natural zoonotic virus theory have been resolved, namely:
The bat species that is supposedly the original source doesn’t live anywhere near Wuhan, and nobody has found a pre-Wuhan outbreak in the bat’s range.
The intermediate critter, theorized to be a pangolin, hasn’t actually been found.
Nobody has found COVID-19 viruses in the wild animal populations in China.
I think there are some genetic researchers who have opined that this just doesn’t look like a natural virus, and/or that it has some telltale signs of engineering. I’m not qualified to assess those claims.
Absent the actual detailed records of just what gain-of-function research was being done at Wuhan, we’ll never prove it was engineered there. But I think the odds are heavily weighted that way, at least until somebody fills in the disabling gaps in the natural virus theory.
All of this
Josh Rogin of WaPo has actually done some decent reporting on COVID. If you can ignore his obvious love of big government, he lays it out pretty clear that the CCP has a an extremely belligerent attitude towards anyone who dares criticize them or draws attention to their programs in Wuhan.
He has also pointed out that Fauci and Collins have a very large financial interest in continuing the research and they are completely willing to sink a scientist’s career if he or she crosses either one of the two. Speculating on the Wuhan Lab Leak has been verboten.
“Plus, of course, our own DOD was funding gain-of-function research at Wuhan.”
Funny, that’s the first I’ve heard of it. Got link?
https://nypost.com/2021/07/01/pentagon-gave-millions-to-ecohealth-alliance-for-wuhan-lab/
Thanks, and WTF?
Yeah, that pretty much applies to everything in the past decade or two.
It is illegal to do that research here in the US so Fauci outsourced it to China. That’s WTF.
We should refer to Covid as the Fauci Virus.
Glad you are with us and still appear to have electricity.
How are you holding up?
The ban — which only applied to SARS, MERS, and the flu — was lifted in 2017. So it’s legal here as long as it’s approved by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Thank you for asking Sensei, we barely got any rain. I thought we were going to be clobbered again this year but the damned thing veered east and we were barely on the edge of it. I am glad of that but I feel awful for the people that did take the brunt in east Louisiana and west Mississippi.
The season isn’t over yet. I am keeping all of my supplies stocked up.
Good to you are OK, Suthen.
The ban — which only applied to SARS,
COVID-19 is the disease caused by this version of the SARS virus.
The US government is actively colluding with the CCP against its own citizens.
Heartwarming, ain’t it?
We’re reaching the point were Alex Jones seems perfectly calm and reasonable.
Rand Paul slapped Fauci around about his little lie of omission re; that.
And nothing happened. It is great that it is in the Federal Register I guess.
I didn’t realize intelligence agencies were themselves unitary beings instead of grouping of employees.
17 that we know of.
There was 17, but Space Delta 7 was added July of last year. The Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy, all have one, so the Space Force got one too.

“China limits video gaming time to 3 hours per week”
Own goal. Their core constituency here in the US of A will not be pleased to hear this.
Meh. Since they’re enforcing it by requiring kids to log on to the internet under a permanent/set identity, they’ve just enlisted their parents in eliminating privacy for this (and all future) generations.
“OK, maybe I won’t complain about prices at the pump here…it can get worse.”
Also, I’m thinking Ida disrupted some refineries.
“Hey Al, for our next hurricane update, we’re going to have you stand over there by that precariously balanced brick wall.”
“A majority of parents expressed their concern over minors’ indulging in online gaming, which led to the previous restriction enacted in 2019, the state-run news agency Xinhua reported.”
So Chinese parents can only be “Chinese parents” outside of China?
TIGER MOMS UNITE!
Is it video games or online games? Who cares! Journalismizing!

I’m sure just knowing that Joe’s on it is very reassuring.
I’m expecting his “Heck of a job Brownie!” moment any time now.
Well…he did have a rather unfortunate turn of phrase for his senior advisor…cause that boy sure does know Lousiana.

And the REEEEEEE’ing was heard all the way across the Earth.
I wonder how many Chinese boys are going to learn to hate/resent the government over this. Dropping the circuses from the whole bread & circuses rigamarole seems like an unwise move. Especially in a country with way too many young men for the number of young women. Seems like you would be glad if they had a distraction.
Some will hate the government. Others will discover that there are better ways to have fun than pressing buttons with their thumbs and watching mediocre simulations of stuff blowing up. Some might even study and learn how to do useful things.
I check my cell once, maybe twice per day to see if I have had any calls or messages. Often it takes me a little while to find the damned thing.
I don’t understand people who stay glued to their phones. Why not interact with the people around you instead of a machine?
*goes back to watch videos from The Dodo.*
Why not interact with the people around you instead of a machine?

Besides my family, the people on the machine are better company.
I will give you that. There are a fair number around here that are much smarter and better educated than I am. That is my preferred company (why I married Mrs. Suthenboy) and there just isn’t that much of that to be found around here. I make an exception for this crowd.
Ugh. I need to go back to my old habit of editing my comments more carefully before posting.
My Golf buddies, and the Glibs, sanity…….
I’m getting tempted to institute that video game rule in my house.
Do it now, before it’s too late! Ask me how I know.
My boss took me aside about entering the mandatory vaccination disclosure. Not his choice, it’s shit rolling downhill. Drop dead date isn’t until next month so will sit on it longer. Most have been compliant with this so making a stand will do nothing. Solzhenitsyn has his answer.
Sorry.
Yeah, the next few weeks will be interesting. I see hundreds of thousands in France and Greece pushing back, but almost nothing here.
I’m hearing rumors that some of the big companies I call on will require vendors be vaxxed, too.
If there is any good news, schemes like thins can collapse as fast as they appear.
Aside from the recent BLM, there isn’t a history of widespread strikes and riots here. Or acceptance of such.
I’m somewhat surprised there hasn’t been an incident of a nut going postal or targeted hits of low level officials making these mandates.
The rubber hasn’t hit the road on a lot of these mandates yet. Also, a lot of the FUD about the vaccines is only now coalescing (in the public eye) into a coherent set of possible side effects and a plausible mechanism for causing those side effects.
I wonder how the concert thing is going. I was able to get a refund for my tickets (they spring a vax mandate 10 days before the show). I wonder if there are a lot of empty seats. In Indiana, about 45% of people are vaxxed, and that leaves a lot of people who won’t be allowed in.

I doubt it but never know..
I’ve heard mixed stories about this through Reopen NH channels.
Some folks there know truckers that know nothing about it. Some folks know truckers who won’t go along with it because they can’t afford to not work.
It looks like it might be a nothingburger.
Ugh! Sorry.
Shitty situation.
I feel like I am being drawn into something here. I’m at a point where I can quietly retire if my employer rescinds WFH and requires vaccination, but since I don’t have much to lose I’m strongly considering making it as difficult as possible to get rid of me when the time comes. At least I can go down fighting, don’t know if I have the balls to do it. Guess I’ll find out.
I’m considering doing a CLM by emailing the HR fuckface and my pussy executive
leadershipfollowership. Also won’t do a bit of good other than some trivial momentary satisfaction with long term repercussions.Any opportunity to jump jobs right now? Market’s pretty hot.
I’m sorry that you have to do this. I really hope they don’t push you all the way to getting a shot you don’t want.
I’m close to retirement so would be better to ride it out. But not close enough to pull the plug today.
It’s not the shot itself that bothers me, it’s the forced disclosure and what’s ahead in my view, including for those who are vaxxed. As it happens, I already did get one for reasons, and zero of them had anything to do with the company’s benefit.
This.

I have to talk to my boss tomorrow and tell him “no”.
We were given three options: Yes, No, and I’m not telling. The last option, which I took, has the same protocols as ‘No’ if you’re on site. No one is on site and won’t be until at least January. I expect the SHTF then if not sooner with vax requirements. I’ll be leaving a rather large annual bonus on the table since the company did very well.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
What’s this? I don’t even have any links in the comment.
“Critical information about the origins of this pandemic exists in the People’s Republic of China, yet from the beginning, government officials in China have worked to prevent international investigators and members of the global public health community from accessing it,” Biden said in a statement.
Dementia patient states obvious.
China announced Monday that children will only be allowed to play video games for 1 hour on Fridays, weekends, and holidays.
Gaming platforms can only offer online gaming to minors between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on those days, according to the National Press and Publication Administration (NAAP). The new restrictions limit a previous rule that allowed children to play video games for 1.5 hours per day.
Fuck off slavers.
Regarding Louis Armstrong. There are only a handful of famous people that I can remember exactly where I was when learned they had died. JFK, Elvis, John Lennon and Satchmo. That’s it.
Chris Farley and Phil Hartman for me. My priorities may differ from yours.
Since I found out about Farley several months after, it never really happened for me. Chris still lives! In a van down by the river!
I remember where I was when I heard Charlie Watts died.

I also remember where I was when I heard that the Iron Butterfly Drummer died.
I remember where I was when I heard that you had heard that Charlie Watts died.
This is also why I come here. Thank you.
Abe Vigoda?
He’s alive. He’s hanging with Lou Reed down in Key West.
So, if I do decide to get a vax shot, which one’s best?
Have held out so far, and am still the voice of the non-vaxxed here at work, but if I do decide to, is there a “right” answer? I’m a 50-yo healthy male.
I went with the J&J just because it’s one and done, and I think some people claim it’s a more traditional vax, but I’m not a doctor so who knows.
J&J is the adenoviral one, I believe. Wouldn’t fix any of the supposed spike protein related organ damage, but it would rely on a different mechanism to prevent the vaccine components and derivatives from supposedly floating around your body for the next couple weeks.
Correct – re J&J.
You’re already the Talking Dead Gramps. If you didn’t get the vax yet you killed like a 80 million Grandmas, you’re a fucking war criminal.
I’m in the same boat, and I have the same question. I hear if I want to participate in disabled sports, the hospital that sponsors us will require a vax. Plus I will turn 50 in another 2 months.
That’s awesome you’re still playing hockey at 50 though.
Tundra still plays and he’s like, 70 or something.
Lol.
Sure feels like it, some days.
I got jabbed before they started getting as batshit crazy as they’ve gotten (at least the first one). I got the Moderna. I got a fever both times the next day and felt genuinely lousy.
Don’t worry, once you get a protein spike to the cranial matter, you won’t feel a thing.
I got the Pfizer because it’s been approved and therefore it’s completely safe. There were meticulous studies, quadruple blind trials, and lots of sciency data and everything. I feel good and worthy that I am helping with herd immunity and making grannies everywhere safe to make cookies and stuff.
I had the Moderna back when it first came out. Never felt a thing from either jab, but I’m reliably informed (by my old personal doc of 30+ years) that I have the constitution of a rhinoceros.
These never get old to me. Apologies in advance!

I always get a kick that most medical terminology in Japanese uses German loanwords for things up until WW2. After that it’s English.
Love that an X-Ray is レントゲン (rentogen) from roentgen.
Yes! Interesting how German, Portuguese, and English were borrowed for different areas.
I went with J&J because it was one and one. And so far, it has the best resistance to Delta.
I hope this isn’t true.
Exclusive: Biden Officials at Kabul Airport Warned American Rescue Plane To Turn Back or Be Shot Down
I can absolutely believe that.
“If you like your desperation you can keep your desperation.”
That story does not specify who will be doing the shooting. Perhaps, hopefully, they are warning against Taliban fire? If not it is difficult for me to believe there isn’t a cacophony of calls from both parties and many officials for Biden’s resignation.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9938015/Iron-Butterfly-drummer-Ron-Bushy-dies-79-band-member-appear-albums-passes-away.html

79 is a bit young, but he was a drummer so probably a pretty good run.
How come no one told me Sweet Sweet Connie passed.
She didn’t age well. Drugs?
That’s a natural fact….
But why I came here this afternoon is because I have a question and this place has answers. There was and earthquake in Haiti. We are told Haiti is all but destroyed. It will take years for Haiti to recover. Those poor, impoverished Haitians. They need our help. This happened just a few years ago as well as several times more during my time on Earth.
Haiti is on an island. But it’s only on one half of the island. The other half of the island is the Dominican Republic. How do they keep skirting disaster time and time again? Google tells us: No results found for “Only the left side of the ship is sinking”.
Mostly, from what I can tell, due to the difference that Haiti has a much, much, shittier government. That is, they both get disasters (although the DR has a different fault line system), but the DR isn’t such a basket case that they can’t deal with them.
“although the DR has a different fault line system”
Why I come here. Thank you.
The DR is horribly poor and has an illegal immigrant problem because its neighbor is so much poorer.
CIA world factbook has per capita gpd (PPP) at $1300 for Haiti and $8300 for the DR.
Haiti has poorer constructed buildings and many more faults. See this for a map of fault lines in the Caribbean.
The Haitians have denuded their side of the island as many there make beer money by cutting trees and burning them to sell as charcoal. Too much rain or the ground shakes a bit and they have horrific mudslides/landslides etc.
Their construction is beyond shoddy so all of the buildings fall down. In a nutshell it is an infrastructure problem.
Cowboy Bebop live action? Netflix better not screw that up.
Did you see the Death Note movie? It will be blow and suck simultaneously.

In addition to Brochetaward’s observations let’s not forget there was a live action Full Metal Alchemist too.
Also doing another Airbender, but with the original creators bouncing to do more in their universe, that will probably be bad also.

I want to see this blow up. Let’s get this over with. Either DC is in charge of everything and everyone or we actually have federalism.
I hope Roberts is having panic attacks just thinking about the possibility of having to make decisions on this stuff.
It may be time for some states to reject federal school funding so they can just get on with it.
They will most surely want their cake and to eat too I bet. Pick and choose what gets funding pulled or increased. Want local control over the cirriculum? Tsk-tsk, funding pulled. Transgender bathroom policies? You get more monies! Teach traditional math? Oh..and its gone
There shouldn’t be federal school funding in the first place.
There shouldn’t be any: Federal gun, seatbelt, drinking, voting, vaccine, masks, etc etc laws either, but here we are.
Federal funding is the end run around the Constitution. And as such, the Fed is the mechanism that allows it.

“Democrats on the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riot are planning to request that telecommunications companies preserve the phone records of Trump family members and Trump-aligned lawmakers who attended the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally on Jan. 6, it was revealed on Monday.
The records request could determine who the committee plans to call forth as a witness.
It’s not clear how the committee plans to ensure compliance from telecommunications companies with its request. The committee does have subpoena power but obtaining the records of members of Congress could set off contentious legal battles.”

So this is odd. I’m sitting in a Ford service center getting my truck serviced, and there is a woman having a meltdown because her tires are being rotated.

Update: she thinks all men are lying to her so they can take her money. Also she says brakes don’t need replacing. I’m out of here.

“the squealing is just the pig working hard”
Legit lol
Who bought her car? I can’t believe she did.
Daddy bought it for her. And he promised to buy her another one when this one runs out of gas.
Did he check if she has the proper air in those tires? Winter air can cause severe tire damage if used in summer.
Show me the science!
That said on AWD vehicles and my use case I find it better not to rotate the tires. If you keep up on alignment and inflation you will usually get even wear. That avoids noise and vibration when you rotate them to another axle/side of the vehicle.
If she doesn’t want it done, why are they doing it?
Part of their full service package.
Oil-filters-tire rotation-brake inspection and other things I’m sure I’m forgetting.
Anti-rotator? Must be a Trump supporter.
This sounds kinky…have an OnlyFans page?
She knows that tires rotate on their own when she drives. No need to pay to have it done because that’s the way her car works and she is no fool.

The Western Political Class were supposed to be corrupt hypocritical lying statists but they weren’t supposed to actually seriously undermine a free society. Our easily subversive norms weren’t supposed be the ones that propped up a free society…
It’s true trade was supposed to liberalize China. I think because Russian bloc defectors were enamoured with US stores and abundance. China liberalized economically, but maintained a police state. I’m disappointed it didn’t work.
“Free Trade will liberate China” was based on literally zero evidence. None. For a supposedly rational, logical and scientific lot the free trade libertarians were very irrational, illogical and unscientific.
Outsourced western slavery taught Chinese tyrants fascism was better than communism for world domination. Just need some corrupt fake “free market capitalists” and their political lapdogs to facilitate things.
I wouldn’t say zero evidence. You had countries like Taiwan, S. Korea, and Chile that liberalized their economies and then became more politically liberal. In fact there was a close correlation during the Cold War between economically free and politically free countries. This did ignore some places like Singapore but for the most part the correlation held. Unfortunately correlation is not causation. This is what was missing in the analysis.
All three countries had military regimes supported by the US who pressured them into democratizing. That is why they liberalized, not free trade.
In what was their freedom caused “by” free trade? The Dutch Republic adopted their trade policies after 80 years of war against the Spanish. England repealed the Corn Laws because of free trade agitation by liberals.
France adopted tariffs after the military defeat of the regime that signed a treaty with Richard Cobden.
To be fair, if you believe Xi Jinping’s assessment, the problem isn’t that China corrupted Western elites. The pandemic merely exposed their pre-existing corruption.
“Things aren’t getting worse; they’re just getting more obvious.”
Yikes.

Biden will make you wear a mask…
I still don’t hear many people pointing out that MASKS DONT WORK. Every study for the last 100+ years show that masks don’t work. They don’t work.
Never mind that, OBEY.
Covid Charts Quiz is fun and illuminating.
And the headline still gets it wrong: “State mask bans face federal civil rights inquiries” Dammit, they aren’t mask bans. They are bans one mandates. If you like your mask you can keep your mask.
They know that but that doesn’t generate rage.
AP dishonest?
Well, I never.

Fuck you Doug.
Also The Chamber of Commerce wants Vax passports. I thought these businessmen were supposed to save us?
The only way this ends is when it blows up in people’s faces.
Sigh.
“Principles? What principles? Pfft.”
“…polls showing strong public support.”
Horse. Shit.
The COC sucks balls and they have for a while.
Yep. They are globalists and the tip of the export-jobs-overseas spear. If they caught fire I wouldn’t bother unzipping.
And people wonder why free trade failed to free China…
By that I mean that the chamber of commerce types are the people who are making deals with the Chicoms and are the ones whose supposed liberalism is supposed to rub off on the Chinese.

I always find these sorts of articles fascinating. Why did he not think that WHO could possibly become terrible?
And why did he assume that a China that trades with the West would not remain totalitarian and try to influence Western institutions to become terrible and be successful in doing so?
I get the distinct feeling that Big reason we are the shit storm we are in is due to a very complacent technocratic mindset.
History is over so of course China will liberalize. We can trust our elites because despite their faults because again history is over so they will do the right thing. We don’t need to articulate what the “right thing” even is or see proof that that they are in fact doing so because History is over. And the right thing is nothing more than being a rich educated urbanite who mouths the right platitudes that you can quote in your twitter feed.
All Hail the Fukiyama!

https://nypost.com/2021/08/30/nypd-cop-complains-after-being-told-to-mask-up/
Tough to chow down with a mask on.
The NY Post has sunk to tattling on cops who won’t mask up.
Fucking disgraceful how low they have gone.
Yeah, I might need to rethink this one. Don’t like the attitude that cops are above the law; on the other hand that “law” sucks and the guy who took the pix is a snitch who deserves a wedgie. The Post has an uneven history; back in the ’70’s a friend of mine called it the “Pig Paper” which was not too far off the mark.
Oh certainly everyone is asshoe in that story but still. This is only “news” because they chose to make it “news”.
And yes they are still the “Pig Paper” (lol) but in this case the ’vid has broken their brain just like so many others. Furthering the mandate to spread terror porn trumps copsucking.
Who’s enforcing the mandates there though? Is it the cops because if it is they’re fair game.
Western civilization is over. We can’t even drink water correctly. https://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-ways-you-are-drinking-water-wrong?ecd=wnl_spr_083021&ctr=wnl-spr-083021_lead_cta&mb=qNIVoMbAwf1S%2f8Q3pcDOtOHnVev1imbCTD9DpI1hr6w%3d
I find it funny that my autocorrect tried to change ‘western civilization’ to Westernsloper.
And in listicle form!
Gets an immediate “close tab” from me.
These “Yer Doin’ it Rong” articles have been recycled my entire life. I’ve learned to ignore them. Most of them actually contain information that turns out to be also wrong.
Not Drinking It With Alcohol
See. Doctors say you aren’t getting enough alcohol. Everybody, put some alcohol in your water.
I find it funny that my autocorrect tried to change ‘western civilization’ to Westernsloper.
We should be so lucky.
Chase Bank Cancels General Mike Flynn’s Credit Cards
I find it funny that Chase Bank believes they have any reputation to salvage. Although, to be fair, they aren’t Wells Fargo.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Chase. Met Mrs. Patzer when we were both employed there. Other than that…
” aren’t Wells Fargo.” this, Chase does alright by me,
*snickers at the class action notice I received today for being a Wells Fargo auto loan holder a few years ago*
…we got one of those not long ago.
First mention I’ve heard of Chase bending to the insanity.
Time to look for another bank, I guess.
Once you are afflicted with TDS it never goes away. Like diabetes it is a permanent condition. Long after Trump has passed away TDS sufferers will still be foaming at the mouth.
Can’t wait to see the USAA cancels personal credit cards/policies/accounts of ‘extremist’ members/vets/family/retirees of the military when they get purged.
Possible reputational risk? Who the fuck knows which bank he uses?
The cashier at Walmart might see it! Oh, the shame!
Nobody told Chase what really happened yet?
The deep state is truly vindictive.

Aged like fine wine…
The Tahli-bahn seem to be enjoying their new stuff.
They say, “thanks, Glibs!”
I refuse to watch it…but apparently, they used the gift of one of our helos to hang a ‘traitor’ from.
USA! USA! USA!Taliban! Taliban! Taliban!They sure as fuck can’t fly it.
It was flying…so…I think they have the personnel to do so.
Nice gear
I am not so worried about the aircraft except for the wasted money. I doubt the Taliban have anyone that can fly that stuff.
As far as I am concerned this is the biggest fuckup in US history. I think it was done on purpose. Everyone involved in the planning of it should be removed from office and their heads should roll.
Taliban “Did you get trained by Americans to fly?” Afghani pilot thinking of living or dying “Yes”
This.
There are plenty of trained pilots who will be happy to curry favor with the rulers.
Maintenance, on the other hand…
Any Afghani pilot trained on an aircraft with enough range to get across a border who didn’t gas one up and head for the exits two weeks ago is a fool.
Sounds crazy but how can it be otherwise? Nobody can “fuck up” to this degree.
What seemed like tin-foil-hat-crazy ten years ago is ‘the new normal’.
That’s what I said. Your average McDonald’s manager with no military experience could have done a better job.
Waffle House shows better logistics know-how than these fuckers, and they’re likely to prove it in the coming week in Louisiana.
By all appearances they are doing the best they can to wreck the country. They will prove it in Louisiana probably by blocking all shipments of food, water and aid to the affected areas and refusing to let people leave those areas.

Bill Gates is a rich multinational who uses new tech and faces anti-trust. How could he be terrible?
“NBC contributor Noah Berlatsky is the Communications Director for Prostasia, a not-for-profit group that is reportedly attempting to legitimize pedophilia under the guise of helping children.
NBC contributor Noah Berlatsky is now the Communications Director for Prostasia, a not-for-profit group that is reportedly attempting to legitimize pedophilia under the guise of helping children. As part of his work with the group, he has written about legitimizing “trans children,” conducted interviews about the positive impact of pornography on children, and how the best way to help children who are trafficked into the sex trade is to “decriminalize the sex industry.”
Prostasia offers pedophiles a MAP Support Club, which “is a peer support chat for minor attracted people who are fundamentally against child sexual abuse and committed to never harm children, and is a safe space to have peer support in times of trouble.” This group is for people who are aged 13 and up.
Prostasia bills itself as “a new kind of child protection organization” that has a different approach to protecting children than the current methods of social work and law enforcement, saying that these approaches “are less effective than they should be, because they are driven by emotion rather than evidence.”
That is one that involves embracing those that are self-identified pedophiles.”

Former reason writer you mean…
I seem to recall sex work was his beat. I guess he was trying to tell us something.
I’d like to see their definitions of the following terms:
Child sexual abuse
Harm
Peer support
“Recently, Prostasia began collaborating with an organization it calls the MAP Support Club, an unregistered group which claims to provide “peer support” for pedophiles, and invites “minor attracted people” aged 13 years old and up to participate in online chats about “minor attraction.””
Grooming by another name.
“Prostasia sees the threat pedophiles pose to children as a bogeyman dreamed up by the alt-right, while condemning anti-pedophile sentiment as harmful “Nazi-like” rhetoric which requires mass censorship across social media.
The organization’s efforts have dedicated themselves to crusades against child pornography bans, letter-writing campaigns to state representatives demanding child-likeness sex dolls be kept legal, and funding research into “fantasy sexual outlets” for pedophiles.
Once these threads quickly unravel, Prostasia’s goals and underlying purpose becomes increasingly clear. Despite its attempts to role play as a mere progressive activist organization, all of Prostasia’s goals and campaigns lead to the exact same conclusion: The total normalization and acceptance of pedophilia in wider society.”

NAMBLA is using the IRA model? The IRA had Sinn Fein, NAMBLA got MAP.
Demoralizin’ aint got no end.
In fairness a support group is probably a good idea, if executed correctly, as I can imagine it’s probably quite mentally distressing to be unable to satisfy one’s sexual desires without harming another person. The fact that the group is open to minors, however, makes it suspect.
What did the pedophile say when he got out of prison ?
“I feel like a kid again!”
Ummm, unless they’re NOMAPs (non-offending minor attracted persons), then they’re NOT against abusing children.
In possibly too local news, just got an update from #2 son on his first day back on campus. Vaccine required, he reluctantly got the jab rather than forfeit his scholarship. Sucks, but we thought everything was set for the upcoming semester.
Not so fast. It seems his Computer Architecture prof is refusing to get jabbed, putting that course in jeopardy. It’s a requirement for his CompSci major, so this would throw a major monkey wrench into his plans. Fuck this bullshit.
Oh, almost forgot. His choir director is requiring N5 masks during rehearsals and performances. Un. Fucking. Believable.
It will be like a choir of Kennys serenading and swooning the newest generation.
Sorry. I can’t imagine having to go through this bullshit at that age.
I see small children everywhere whose lives we’re ruining over this; I forget how much damage it’s doing to all the way up to young adulthood.
What even is the point of having a masked choir? That makes no sense. Just cancel the choir if you can’t stand maskless people.
Good God. Crank up the HVAC to cycle like a motherfucker and just live.
Idiots.
No shit. I had the privilege of attending the 3 days of rehearsal a few years ago when he and about 20 other HS kids were part of a choir which performed Mozart’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall. I was astounded at the attention the director paid to the nuances of each section, to get just the right sound. Masks?? What kind of sound are you going to get?
The aria from Fifth Element
Humans are fucking amazing.
Some aspects of some of us are but the potential goes both ways.
Great capacity for creation and destruction all wrapped up in a relatively tiny life form.
That is amazing. But Italian with Russian subtitles? Need TedS to translate.
Let’s be honest: the main reason Covid tyranny has blindsided us is due to Bill Clinton. He said that “Big Government is Over” and that Free Trade with China would liberate it so of course these were true because History is over. We can trust our elites and China because Bill Clinton said so…
You’re only saying that because he’s black.
I enjoy your thematic series of posts every week.

Whoa!
19th century tech, meet 21st century tech.
We won’t discuss who won.
As I teach my boys…mass+speed has the right-a-way always.
Would have been funnier if the dude who jumped out of his truck to film that had been run over by the lead vehicle trying to make way for the truck to escape.
I’m a big fan of Trains-Hitting-Shit videos (as long as nobody is hurt)
How can a truck even turn while dragging that thing?
Low gearing.
Almost got away. Almost.
“That’ll buff right out”
Ooh, that’s gonna leave a mark.
Who the hell picked that route?
Max Fuckin’ Boot. Now there is a piece of cheese if ever there was one.
1. We have way too many intelligence agencies.
2. They can get fucked. It was engineered and accidentally leaked or on purpose let escape to do exactly what it did. Kill a bunch of old people which is exactly what it was engineered to do.
Wet market pangolin steaks, or the fucking lab down the street where they make these things? As the world’s greatest nation’s trained fact collectors, we’re gonna have to punt on this one!
What is obvious is that the agencies have their own agenda that has nothing to do with truth and defending America.
