Stop throwing meatballs!
The Red Sox are kicking the shit out of the Astros. Which makes me sad. Tennessee won an absolute gem of a game against Buffalo last night. The Ohio State-Penn State matchup will be a night game (awesome) and I’ll be there (even better!). Arsenal had to pull some magic out of their ass to draw Crystal Palace. And the UCL gets back in action today. As are the Dodgers-Braves series. Enjoy!

Right, now on to…the links!
Sorry, folks. The racism shall continue.
Racial discrimination to remain legal. At least that’s how an honest headline would read.
What a flattering portrait of a clown. ABC should be ashamed of itself.
This will be interesting. I’m especially interested since I deal with a lot of people impacted by this.
Ban concerts. Silly hippies.
Where are they going to house them?
This isn’t gonna go over very well. At least I don’t think it will. We’ll see.
Stop paying attention to these people! Shit, I paid attention by posting this. Well, make fun of them then. Then stop paying attention.
This is about to come to a head. And I, for one, can’t wait.
Thanks a lot, global warming. Oh wait, this is yet again due to poor power line management by the state-imposed monopoly.
Some important stuff is about to be decided in Texas. By Texans, no less! A couple of them are actually important. Some are stupid.
Here’s a fantastic song. I still can’t understand the few of you who said this isn’t a great band, politics notwithstanding. Enjoy it.
Now get out there and have a great day, friends!
“Racial discrimination to remain legal. At least that’s how an honest headline would read.”
Divide and conquer…
what a retarded justification from the judge. BLA BLA BLA lived experience. totes objective
I am now convinced that you can’t explain anything – not just the extremely complex, but even the simplest thing – using logic and analytics to people if it leaves them emotionally unsatisfied. Facts & logic are ignored and idiotic emotional drivel is accepted because man wants heroes to cheer for and villains to hate. Telling idiots “It’s racism” meets that requirement and no logic will override the idiocy.
Read Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind.
‘Lived experience’ is similar to the IC concept of ‘ground truth’ – bullshit and nonsense used by peons to claim insight that they don’t actually possess.
what a retarded justification from the judge. BLA BLA BLA lived experience. totes objective
I wonder if they consider the lived experience of whites in lower-class areas.
With so many bi-racial kids being born it’s getting hard to know who to discriminate against. How about no photos or race indicators on admission forms.
Even names can be indicators so names can be left blank. Use a password instead.
Gender/sex will be the next point of discrimination…
There are no “Chicks with dicks”, only “Dudes with tits”….
Nah – they need to use one of those color palettes like the paint store.
–Dean Pelton
Gender/sex will be the next point of discrimination
Already is, to a massive extent. If you’re female and marginally competent in high school, you’ll have the opportunity to get an most-to-all-expenses-paid education at one of a dozen schools’ STEM programs. Also, at least as of a decade ago when I was working in the recruiting office, you’ll be recruited by companies at a level equivalent to male students half a GPA point higher than you.
And if not sufficiently competent scream discrimination.
Al least they should be hot and wear skimpy clothing to improve the decor
Back in the mid-90s, I knew a female, black, CS major with reasonably good grades. Companies were backing up a dump truck full of money to her house.
Just put a ‘ somewhere in your first name if you want to signal special status.
I keep telling the wife to not check White on forms for our kids. Put them down as “Hispanic – Pacific Islander”. Who could imagine Americans needing to hide their heritage for fear of discrimination?
^^^THIS^^^
Fuck the system over…
Were they born in the US? That seems “Native American” to me.
And all humans trace ancestry back to Africa.
I remember telling a liberal acquaintance that the richest person in the world was an African American. They were quite mad when I told them it was Elon Musk.
That’s not a small minority.
Mayor Beetlejuice claims it is an insurrection!
Alinsky rules: tell a lie, tell it often, and be serious while telling the lie…
Orwell’s fiction made real.
Well, there is a problem with the theory – you bleed the word of meaning and usefulness when you are so transparent in your dishonesty. Oh sure, you can still rally some of the troops, but even they lose enthusiasm; and all of those other people, they keep growing in number.
Planeloads of underage migrants are being flown secretly into suburban New York
Of all the things this administration does, this one strikes me as the most nakedly evil. It’s not just New York, this is happening everywhere. It’s nuts. No way could you get a majority of Americans to support this kind of immigration. It’d be hard to believe it was real if it wasn’t so well documented by now.
When your electorate refuses to bend the knee and give to the will of the credentialed elite ruling class but you need to keep pretending you are a democracy, you can just elect yourself a new electorate this way…..
Ok but it is crazy and evil. This is in no way an official public policy. There’s a reason they do it in the darkness.
Sounds like that human trafficking they keep talking about.
Most of those being trafficked are probably racial minorities and some underage so it’s double jeopardy.
/sarc (or not)
We all know how TMITE would have spun this under Trump: “Administration Separates Juvenile Immigrants from Families”
And I recall widespread complaints that attorneys and family members were having trouble locating detainees because the record-keeping is so bad.
Yes, it is evil as shit. But they feel it is justified because to them those of us that refuse to bend the knee are the crazy and evil ones for refusing to accept the order of things they want…
Our republic is dead. These fuckers are using its skinsuit to keep a bunch of real dumb people that still are convinced government solves problems (while completely missing that the government bureaucracy and political class have no incentive to do anything more than create and exacerbate problems so they can use the crisis to buy votes) in line. With membership in that group dwindling and the fucktocracy being forced to constantly have to “fortify” elections, all as/while more and more people realize the shit is burning down, the powers that be think adding a whole bunch of new government dependents that will vote for free shit and promises to solve problems, is the solution to not having to show their hand and actually going full tyrant.
Are they using Epstein’s plane?

“What a flattering portrait of a clown. ABC should be ashamed of itself.”
The mandarinate and its agents have no shame. They can only experience anger at those that see through them and their lies.
Think this through. What is supposed to be a serious news network, after clear revelations that they had been lied to and used by a corruptocratic shadow entity, feels no need to strike at that entity for making them look like fucking idiots, but instead continues to try to do damage control for the fucking evil shitbags.
I guess they must really be pissed at the Durham report and what it will say to feel something this blatantly stupid was necessary. Then again, reality that conflicts with what these statist assholes and especially team blue serfs want to belief so they can feel superior, is simply ignored by them. This is a mental disorder…

6. Depends maybe on the mental state?
7 & 8 lower taxes is good but too many exemption are not so dunno
Regarding 7 and 8 – need to read more. I do agree that property tax is getting out of hand, but shouldn’t that be handled by universally raising the exemption? It’s at 25,000, discussing raising to… $40,000? How about $80,000? Find me a decent house in a Texas town under $150,000 nowadays.
^^. I’d be fine raising it to $2M and set it to increase by $1M annually.
Seconded. The amount of revenue brought in by property taxes is huge. That money will eventually be used against us if the state turns blue.
It is emotionally satisfying, but I am opposed to the tax exemptions. They already get survivor benefits.
One might hope that envy would lead to other people demanding the same tax exemptions.
When I see this, I start to think Youngkin is going to win in Virginia.
Well that and slamming your own foot into your mouth about parents not having any say over how their local schools are run.
Everyone Is Reading Too Much Into Virginia’s Race for Governor
If we win, it has national implications. If we lose, it was an outlier decided on local issues.
That’s why I think they know they’re going to lose. Otherwise it would be exactly as you imply – Democrat outlook favorable!
I am still surprised at the number of Youngkin signs I see. I was surprised when I saw about a 1 to 1 ratio in the city of Fredericksburg. I was really surprised to see a nearly even ratio when I went to Reston.
If Youngkin doesn’t win, this state is fuuuucked. The Dems will Californize it even further and faster.
That said, McAuliffe is in trouble. People here are pissed and the Loudoun County shenanigans are making the situation particularly bad for Democrats as that part of the state is their base.
Yesterday I saw a single, solitary, sad-looking soyboi standing on the Vienna town green waving a McAuliffe sign. By himself.
He looked so pathetic that I felt sorry for him, just for a second.
We’ve got a few signs in my neighborhood, but I live around a bunch of college profs. No surprises there.
Ditto – my neighborhood is wall-to-wall wealthy bourgeois proggies, and there are a few McAuliffe signs, but they’re outnumbered by Youngkin signs 5-6 to 1.
It’ll be interesting.
Speaking of Loudoun County
The parents aren’t going to be satisfied with just the resignation of Beth Barts. They want the scalps of the entire school board and the superintendent. This should be entertaining.
I hope Youngkin is just running that on a loop in his ads.

“Expectations” are a bitch. You Americans need to get cut down to size a bit with your “oh look at us we have better customer service than Europe” schtick.
Anyway true “environmentalism” will imply a massive reduction in “expectations” so this just sets the stage. Old fashioned enviro loonies were more honest about this than the more recent ones who do not want “The People” to realize they need to lower their living standards.

Your risk from COVID-19 is not determined by age, fitness level or community…your risk is determined by vaccine status. ~78% of all new cases & hospitalizations in #Sask in Sep were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people.

whatever you think of the vax this statement is retarded. A government agency saying shit that is obviously false should be seen as a problem.
Tell lies, any lies, to get them to do what they are told!
So they’ve doubled down on flat out lying.
Got it.
No. As with every other respiratory illness the risk is determined by comorbidities with age being the primary risk. This cunte is lying. And you cannot vaccinate for a respiratory illness because they mutate constantly. That is why there is a yearly flu shot. And that is why everyone periodically gets the sniffles from the common cold.

Speaking of petulant children
If Nick Rolovich had bothered to explain himself even a little bit, perhaps he’d be worth your sympathy. If this grown man of 42 years had articulated his actual objection to the COVID-19 vaccine instead of deflecting and obfuscating like a petulant child, perhaps he’d be worth your respect.
Instead, the former Washington State coach allowed himself to be removed from a $3 million a year job — an amount he almost assuredly will never see again in his lifetime — with no explanation for why he refused a life-saving shot that more than 189 million Americans and billions around the world have received. If Rolovich’s refusal to get the vaccine is a stand on principle in the face of a mandate from the state of Washington that he doesn’t agree with, it would be instructive to hear more than the few mumbled words he’s offered since it became obvious in July his unvaccinated status was going to be the only reason to pay attention to his football team this season.
That’s the most confusing part of this entire saga that ultimately led to Rolovich being fired Monday when he failed to receive a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate, triggering his termination. What does he actually stand for? What does he really believe? And why would he give up not just on this job, but any legitimate hope of a fruitful career in college coaching, over a point he hasn’t shown any interest in trying to prove?
Maybe he doesn’t owe you or anyone else an apology or an explanation, you shit flinging crybaby. Maybe you should explain why your belief in the magic potion is so fragile that you are compelled to engage in this sort of personalized smear campaign against someone willing to take a stand.
That’s one way to spin the story of a man giving up a $3M salary because he won’t compromise on his principles.
WHY WON’T YOU JUST COMPLY?
I thought no means no, with no explanation needed.
Only if you’re a teenage girl?
over a point he hasn’t shown any interest in trying to prove?
Perhaps he doesn’t care to make the effort, when he knows he’s up against those who will lie, misdirect, and generally argue from bad faith?
They don’t believe he has a legitimate reason. They don’t understand that no reason is required.
I think the sportswriter is miffed because a college coach is what he wishes he could be, but can’t, so therefore NR must be some kind of nut to give that up.
In a year when the vax madness has subsided, someone will hire him again for $$$.
I’m more offended by the amount of money he is making via the NCAA and their cartel than I am by his refusing to take the vax. That is the selfish part. To profit off the work by the kids who can’t make any $.
Yep, $3M a year salary to coach a college program no one cares about.

Excellent. That should go on a T-shirt or in a meme.

Not in our lifetime
Can I put down $1000 on “not in this century?” Payable to my heirs of course.
Whats up guys and five girls? A few months I posted about a situation where I had bought my daughters a golf cart to tool around the neighborhood in for Christmas. Teenage girls, figured there wasnt too much to worry about worst case scenario someone falls off and breaks a wrist or some stiches—the thing only does about 12 mph.
A few months ago one of my daughters friends fell off of the back of it and got seriously hurt. Cracked skull, brain bleed, broken neck. Absolutely awful and my wife and I were racked with guilt and I cant even imagine what her parents went through.
The girl has recovered physically, took a few months but her neurologist actually gave her the go ahead to get back to playing sports, everything was looking like she was fine.
The girls mom just pulled her out of school for a while, it seems like she is having a serious problem with impulse control and has been acting very differently ever since the accident. Acting very promiscuous, sending nude pics to people even after she got herself in hot water for doing so the week before. She snuck out of a sleepover and met up with a HS school senior (she is a freshman)
Im not sure if the neurologist think it, but her family and my wife are convinced this is all due to her head injury, I tend to agree and Im just sick to my stomach over what her and her parents are going through. Do you guys think it makes sense that she was given the ok to play sports even though shes having all of these other issues?
Personality change after a head injury is definitely a thing. I can’t speak more about it however.
While not trying to make light of your friend’s daughter this sort of behavior is not unusual with teen age girls. I am speaking from personal experiences.
/Sees missing screen from bedroom window
Correct. Wife was not the same after her TBI. Don’t know if it was “oh shit I almost died, so I am going to live life to the fullest” or if something switched on/off with new neural pathways created.
I’m so sorry you, your daughter, and your daughter’s friend are going through this. Sounds like a nightmare. My folks were very anti-litigation up to and including me getting brutally attacked by a neighbors off-leash dog. So I can’t imagine being the kind of parent to turn this into a legal battle. Seems hard to prove either way. I hope you keep your chin up. FWIW your daughter’s friend’s behavior isn’t totally out of line for what a teenage girl might do and blaming the golf cart accident isn’t going to short up any parenting deficiencies. Although they do say by the age of 13 or so friends have more influence than parents. At any rate, good luck, hoping for the best.
Sorry man, that sucks.
Ah Fuck! Watch your six, Jerms, this is not going away. How greedy are they?
Im not sure if they plan on suing, Until this week I was actually driving my daughter and this girl to school in the mornings and the mom and my wife were pretty friendly.
Strangely this family was in my shoes a few years ago. Their new labrador puppy took a huge chunk of another girl in the neighborhoods face during a play date. Girl was actually airlifted to hospital the wound was so bad. Unfortunately the girl has a brutal scar on the left side of her face. Im pretty sure they got sued for that.
I just hope this girl gets better. If they take legal action I’ll deal with it and whatever happens happens.
*ahem* 19 girls. I made a list so I wouldn’t forget.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, Jerms. I wish there was something I/we could do.
Uffda. That sucks.
So sorry to hear about your travails. Sending good thoughts your way.
Damn Jerms, I’m sorry about that. I know there is no way you don’t blame yourself, but I will say don’t blame yourself as this was a freak accident. I don’t think letting a teen of this age drive a cart is in any way, shape, or form irresponsible parenting. In a short time they will be able to drive something far more dangerous and powerful than that thing. A head injury can definitely cause personality change, but then again being a teen can also cause it. Also, when someone has just experienced a traumatic injury or event that can cause a “fuck it, I’m living my life completely on my terms” stage. Hopefully it’s one of the latter two explanations.
It’s hard to imagine anyone working their entire adult lives to get a head coaching job at a Pac-12 school only to give it up for the right to more easily contract and spread a dangerous virus. But if that’s how Rolovich wants his career to end while antagonizing his employers and embarrassing common sense, he certainly has that option.
The question is why.
The real question, utterly terrifying to a credulous simpleton such as you, is, “What if he’s right?”
The vaccine, to the extent that it does anything, is to reduce the risk of development of a severe case to the vaccinated. It does nothing in terms of spread, yet the morons (media, bureaucrats and politicians) continue that chant. Makes you wonder what “misinformation” really means.
It seems to reduce the severity of illness from a variant that is being displaced.
“to reduce the risk of development of a severe case ”
That wasn’t the original intent. Don’t let them move the goalposts.
Yes, let remember that the original vaccine goal of OWS was an efficacy of 50%.
The tone of the quoted passages… I can’t even with that sniveling arrogance.
It’s a cultural flaw at this point. People have been taught to paper over a weak understanding of a topic with smug condescension.

Blackpool is the ballroom dancing capitol of the world as well. What are those underpaid ballroom dancers going to do for extra money now?

I always knew it as Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Is that not right there in its name?
My best friend from childhood’s Dad was from Blackpool!
what did he think of the quality of the Blackpool strippers?
He was career Royal Navy. He had more tales of Singapore Girls. You know, rolling coins into slots and ping-pong balls.
They buried the lead – “Other changes include… a ban on dancers taking mobile phones into performance areas.”
This would seem to indicate that local council members fear being photographed at the titty-bar.
LOL. That’s exactly what it is.
Bristol lap dancers call for equality with male strippers
Apparently the Blackpool councilors are into the beefcake.
The British government even recently saw the need to issue regulations for fusion energy — a kind of milestone for a burgeoning industry.

Korea’s solar energy project backfires
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2021/10/371_317264.html
Thousands of solar energy facilities have been built in rural mountainous regions in recent years, in line with a government policy to increase the ratio of renewable energy sources in the country’s energy mix.
However, many of them have become danger zones as the removal of trees for their construction has heightened the possibility of landslides, becoming a major headache for local residents during the nation’s annual rainy season. What is of more concern is that the installations are feared to end up destroying the landscape and environment through massive deforestation.
very green. so much environmental. Not unlike wind in Germany, tearing down forests.

The wife’s boyfriend meme is played out, now it’s wife’s boyfriends. The problem with cucks is that no degradation is enough, they always want more. I have no doubt that people like this exist but I think they are too proud of their shameful lifestyle to write into an advice column.
The problem with cucks is the problem with pervs in general – a large subset of them insist on making their kink a full-time part of their personality, rather than keeping bedroom stuff in the bedroom/convention center/occasional public park where it belongs.
No! I’m loud, I’m proud, change my diaper!

Very unprofessional. A couple squirts of sugar water before opening the box would have prevented this, although it certainly looks staged.
After this display I am sure asking her if you can squirt on her face would leave her totally unfazed…
I was curious to see what Barstool Sports had to say about Washington State (nada), and I found this:
We had the legend Chelsea Handler on our podcast this week and we talked all about her new tour Vaccinated and Horny (aka describing Chelsea, me and a bunch of other people), comedy, life, and her new boyfriend Jo Koy and we learned a thing or two. For all the men out there looking for a way to win over a girl, these 6 words will get the job done. “Your Smile Makes My Dick Hard” that’s it. That’s all you gotta do.
I don’t even really know who Chelsea Handler is. I have heard the name.
I’m gonna try that at the bar tonight. Pray for my success.
I presume you’ve already set up a GoFundMe for your legal defense fund.
Only after the medical bills are taken care of.
See, I thought you might have a tooth giving you trouble and this was the cheapest way to get it taken out.
Just like all the “world famous” restaurants. Yea, I guess as long as one person in Germany has heard of you.
Definitely not changing my opinion that Handler is unfunny and is only “relevant” because she’s an unrepentant skank, which speaks to the moment.

Somebody made that comparison in seriousness?
Jesus, they did.
Steele is a sniveling little liar for hire who fled the country in order to avoid being deposed over his completely fabricated hit piece. He’s a piece of shit that deserves to be laying face down in a ditch and forever forgotten.

I read headlines about the NYC police officer shooting an estranged girlfriend a while ago. Sadly given the size of both NYC and the police force it’s not an uncommon headline a few times a year here.

Farm equipment is scarce and pricey. The John Deere strike has farmers worried.
Farmers say they sympathize with the desire for better wages, but they face equipment and parts shortages. A long strike could affect the food supply chain and their bottom lines.
I guess I should strike because I design subdivisions that I can’t afford to live in.

Speaking of judges giving the high hat to the plebes….
Minnesoda judge tells parents that mask mandates in school don’t cause harm to children, refuses to stop them.
If the parents were smart, they’d hold their kids out of school. A small district like that would be financially crippled if those kids don’t plant their asses in a seat.
Also obligatory is this tidbit added by the journalo covering the story as straight fact, not a quote from someone:
I love the part about the scientific proof that it stops droplets and particles. Since the new hotness is that it is aerosolized and not spread by droplets, that study isn’t relevant. But try explaining that to a journalo.
What? I was under the impression that the school district collects taxes regardless of whether the students show up.
Here in NYC, funding is tied directly to attendance. The taxes are still collected (boy-oh-boy are they collected), but the divvying up between facilities is related to how many students are using them.
Yes, but the lion’s share of their income is from the State, and that is dependent on student numbers.
Depends on the state. Mostly they collect taxes from you regadless of butts in seats.
You know, after these responses, I recalled that PA has a very socialistic school tax. From what I can recall now, school taxes are lumped into a big fund statewide, and then doled out to local districts, presumably based on student head count and probably some complicated and increasingly woke scoring system. I happen to live in a district that ends up funding other districts, on net.
I don’t think so. Our local school tax (STEVE SMITH APPROVED) doesn’t even get shared across the county AFAIK. There has been talk of leveling the funding across the state by the state picking up a larger share of the tab (with alleged local property tax relief as the payoff). But I don’t believe that has gone anywhere.
Really? I remember having a discussion with old boss, who was a school board president, about this about 15 years ago. I could swear he told me this.
Here’s some information on PA school funding. It’s unclear from this to what degree local taxes are redistributed, but this shows how various districts’ takes are calculated by a formula that references a base year and a number of factors, including student count, “poverty,” district median income, fraction of students who are ESL, etc…
aimed at protecting students
That is not what the masks are for.
“the issue before the court is not the political question of whether masking should or should not be instituted by the school district,” but “whether requiring individuals to wear masks while in a school building violates their rights such that they would be irreparably harmed.”
I’d say forcing kids to wear a bacteria incubator on their faces damages their rights.
A small district like that would be financially crippled if those kids don’t plant their asses in a seat.
They don’t still get the tax money as long as the kids are technically enrolled?
No, I think the kid has to have an ass in the seat to get reimbursed by the State.
That is why they have in school suspension and do everything possible to keep from expelling students.

Planeloads of underage migrants are being flown secretly into suburban New York in an effort by President Biden’s administration to quietly resettle them across the region, The Post has learned.

Cuomo and Spitzer still have desires.
They don’t believe he has a legitimate reason. They don’t understand that no reason is required.
Exactly, which is what pisses me off about the whole “religious exemption” misdirection.

Too bad Rosanna turned out to be a dullard like the rest of her hippy commie family.
Local police should show up to her house, sans warrant and say they want to have a look around, every day for the rest of her life.
Which is what I would say – but since I actually believe even her dumbass should have protections from the state, she needs to go fuck herself with a rusty spoon.

I frequently play poker/blackjack with my brightest/oldest students. Fuck that book. As long as we follow Rule # 1: Speak English, I don’t care what we talk about.
I tried it today with my second-best group of four 13-year-olds. Very shy, ‘specially the girls. Last Fri I played with the two boys but they didn’t want to play. They are…VERY private and shy. So was I and so it goes.
But today all four played blackjack with me. I impressed upon them how difficult the game is, that it’s one for adults. Takes time to learn, but as long as we have fun and speak English I’m thrilled to provide it in any way that I can.
Tomorrow morning I don’t have morning classes. I ALSO…have a very rare and odd contact here…to get weed…which I have….and am stoned….so I get to coast out this evening for as long as I want. Don’t have to leave the house ’til 2:20 or so and only have to teach from 3-6. It’s…pretty sweet. Tonight’s my mid-week night off.

If you paid attention, you would have noticed that right after he raised his eyebrows, he lowered them. And then did that over and over.
It is called “waggling”.

For the first time in forever those girls were excited (subtly) to take part in the class. Feels good to be a performer and finally get a response from the crowd. /only normal things applied!
I do have a 6-year-old who is very smart and loves to play my back like a piano. I love music and everything about it, but even I think that one is creepy and could get me into trouble of not-my-own cause. She’s so smart for her age. I don’t bark at my kids. It may be crossing the line. Sigh.

MINNESODA INSURRECTION
I don’t know what the tax on the rich is there, but I say double it. Income above100k should be taxed at least 10% in state tax anyway. over 500k 20%.
I’m surprised that there are so many stories about people going to fired for not getting vaxxed. It seems to me that this is only giving comfort to those refuseniks.
With so many stories from all over the country about workers risking their careers, those who are on the chopping block have to be feeling better about their position. They aren’t the only one.
I would think that the MSM would be spiking those stories because they undermine the Narrative. Just like they spike any mention of therapeutics or side effects of the jab.
What is going on? Does the MSM have no immunity to a good sob story? They can’t help themselves?
They can’t help themselves.
Correct. They are actually gleeful about it too and it shows.
I am not so sure it is angled as sob stories though. More like a public flogging.
Partly that they can’t help themselves, yeah.
But mostly they’re cheerleading it. To them these are celebratory stories of crushing/hurting the resistors. Celebratory and threatening to others who are pushing back.
They’re feeling their oats.
Don’t they realize though that they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction?
Like I said, if I was unvaxxed and looking at termination and there were no stories about others fighting the mandate, I’d feel demoralized and like I should bend the knee because I’m the only one and The Man will crush me.
With all these stories, I’d feel much better. It won’t just be me getting canned. Now I feel like I’ve got numbers behind me.
I was pleased that Delta chose to ignore the vaccine mandate and I’m seeing other companies delay too. With covid cases plummeting I’m hoping this just gets harder and harder for companies to justify.
“Don’t they realize though that they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction?”
They are too arrogant to understand.
I could write a book about how every single decision made by newspapers in an attempt to increase circulation only helped to reduce circulation by trying to appeal to people who don’t want their product while slowly angering their existing customers (including their advertisers). And that ignores all their dumb decisions that were an attempt to cut costs (and cut more circulation).
One shouldn’t be surpised that TV and radio news outlets have the same track record of dumb decisions, it’s just that newspapers got a head start.
They shouldn’t be allowed to quit. There is a worker shortage. They should be forced to work for no pay until they submit to mandates.
My 25-year old nephew is going to lose his job in November for not being vaxed. His previous employer called and offered him a job sayiing, “We figured you were going to be out of work soon, so we thought you might come back.”
That’s just real science.
In the Air Traffic/Technical world: We are gathering databases of 2nd/3rd level support to step in when we lose a chunk of our ATC and Technicians and need to control traffic or fix equipment.
My advice…airline travel is going to suck in the coming months if they don’t grant the accommodations, which last I heard, sit at around 2500 requests in Air Traffic/Techs alone.
I suspect we’ll lose our control tower, because the controllers there are contracted retirees and students. The contractors are required to be vaxxed by the community college, so if our local Class B controllers drop out, I’d expect the tower contractors to be asked to come in and work the local Approach sectors, for which they’ll get paid a bit more than supervising the student tower controllers.
Massively irritated right now. I am scheduled to have an injection in my back tomorrow, but I just remembered I need to have a Covid test beforehand, which was never scheduled even though the surgery center was who scheduled this last time. If this gets put off, I am going to be pissed.
Nowadays they can do it quickly. That’s probably enough time.

I’m really digging the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme happening at the moment. I have even started seeing it written in chalk here in SF (which I like a lot as it is not destructive at all and combines with the wholesomeness of the phrase). It’s the perfect amount of disdain mixed with subtlety and humor. It would be cool to see a GoFundMe (or other crowd funding that wouldn’t nuke it) to buy billboard space across the country to put up that simple message. Shit, if the “Birds aren’t real” people can get their message out like that and get coverage it should absolutely be possible. I have zero social media use outside of here so I wouldn’t be the best to get it out there, but I’d absolutely throw down twenty for it.
“Let’s go Brandon” is the new “Who is John Galt?”

Well, that’s just it.. There’s a tendency to assume evil is some sort of diabolically thoughtful, masterfully manipulative, ethos. More often than not, it’s just retarded. More often than not, you’re not dealing with the mentality of a Bond villain or a Richard III or a Mephistopheles. You’re dealing a mentality that barely advanced beyond high school popularity contests to fit in with the in-crowd.
They don’t spike the stories because they don’t have some sort of nefarious, well-thought-out plan of conquest and destruction. They’re simply holding the people who lost their jobs out to ridicule so that the rest of the popular kids will think they’re cool.
The banality of evil.
