A cynical person might think that they are trying to give everyone autoimmune disorders.
You know what else causes an immune response?
High-speed lead injections?
Maybe you get chitin antibodies, and that’s good right? The CDC thinks more antibodies are definitely a good thing.
Maybe there’s an RNA shot for that?
Nah — you need to have your cells modified to produce extra chitin, that’s the only proper way to train your immune system. Pfizer will have a vaccine soon, the FedGov already promised them $700 billion for it (as the CEO wanted to get a bigger yacht than that Saudi prince…)

THE JOOS
One of those corners of the internet that reminds me that there are a lot of people who are, in fact, way dumber than I would give most humans credit for. Or just sick and twisted. Whichever.
Stay AWAY from the ZH. No stable mental health comes from reading ZH.
Nah, I just avoid the comments.âFor every good one there’s one (at least!) that’s deeply, deeply disturbing.
Aw, it’s not always that bad. Sometimes you can scroll down a good 7 or 8 comments before somebody blames the Jews for everything, and/or denies the holocaust.
I must miss everything because every time someone posts a ZH link, someone else comments about the antisemitic comments, and out of curiosity I sometimes go and look and have never seen the antisemitism. Do I just not hear the dog whistles? Or do they quickly just fall down the comments and I get tired of scrolling to find them?
I honestly don’t even know why I look for them…curiosity I guess…sometimes ZH has interesting articles.
That, and often they are deep in one comment thread.
I think in the past there was more antisemitism in the ZH comments than now. I believe a decade ago it wasn’t an issue at all. Now the most upvoted comments are pro-Putin and there isn’t much obsession with the Jews.
I don’t get involved in the Ukraine discussions either because I have a hard time being able to discern who’s pro-whatever vs anti-whatever unless it’s explicitly stated. I think I’m just too dense.
There’s so much propaganda flying around you’re probably better off.

âThank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.â
Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.
âBut we have also,â continued the management consultant, ârun into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one shipâs peanut.”
Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down.
âSo in order to obviate this problem,â he continued, âand effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you’ll all agree that’s a sensible move under the circumstances.”

“Finnish PM Sanna Marin tests NEGATIVE for drugs after giving urine sample to ‘clear up suspicions’ following party video”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11135317/Finnish-PM-Sanna-Marin-tests-negative-drugs-giving-urine-sample-following-party-video.html
Do you know who else tested negative for drugs?
Placebo takers?
Anyone who takes “flour” and waits more than 72 hrs to pee in a bottle?
Great news! The PM of Finland is just a drunk whore and totally not on drugs!
I suppose I might care if I was a Finn.
Although I assume I’d be too drunk to care.
I’m more disappointed in her apparent level of drunkenness. Finns don’t get drunk, at least not the ones I’ve known. They’ve got an extra liver or something in there.
All the lutefisk acts as an extra filter in their digestive tracts?
As PM Iâm sure she had access to some clean urine.
You just want to watch her pee.
She’s a Finn, not a Russian.
Heh.
That might be the primary reason for the criticism.
Well, you can fry a Finn in Butter, and they are still a Finn.

A language ârevivalâ? Quebec moves to protect French amid Canadaâs shift towards English
If you ask actual French people, they will tell you that the so called “French Canadians” stopped speaking French a long time ago.
If you ask Parisians… aw fuck it, nobody wants to talk to a Parisian.
But what about a Brazilian?
“Why in America, they haven’t spoken it for years….“
My rellies in Normandy love listening to QuĂ©bĂ©cois and joual; to their ears, it sounds like what we think Elizabethan English sounds like to us (although the joual is more like Elizabethan English via working-class Brooklyn, I gather…).
They used the language differences in a B plot in one of the episodes of A Very Secret Service, where the French agents couldn’t understand what the Canadians were saying. Pretty funny show set in the early 60’s. Here’s a good example:

The team meeting is in 2 weeks, at which time they will give us our schedule, and I’ll let you all know where and when I’ll be on the ice at a rink near you. I know for sure the big tournaments are in Anaheim and St. Louis this time.
Good on you, TOK. You’ll have more time to get in sync with your team mates. You guys/girls are unbelievable. Are any of the weaker sex able to compete in the men’s leagues?
All our leagues are co-ed. Only the national (Paralympic) teams are not. On my Blackhawks team, we have the captain of the women’s national team. We have had other women play with us, too.
Good deal!

The IRS could be on the cusp of revolutionizing the way that Americans file their taxes.
The Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by President Biden on Tuesday provided $80 billion in funding for the agency, including $15 million to deliver a report on a free, government-run tax e-filing system that tax simplification advocates have long argued for.
Who could object?
They should just do cash sweeps of everybody’s bank accounts every week.
My guess it involves taking all your money, and writing you a UBI check every month.
Who could object?
Intuit
Well, Intuit leaps to mind — I thought the IRS actually *had* something like this… just the tax prep software lobbyists made sure it was (web page wise) downstairs in a locked filing cabinet, next to a HTTP server emblazoned with “Beware of the Leopard” and all.
revolutionizing the way that Americans file their taxes
At gunpoint?
Remember, our tax system is voluntary, so really you’re holding the gun to your own head!
Those gold bars buried in the yard should be getting some friends. We should at least make it hard to find.

His hair was perfect.
Specifically, the agency has to figure out how much an online filing system would cost, the design of the system and how taxpayers would feel about using one.
——-
An April report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that while 70 percent of taxpayers are eligible for the Free File Alliance program, only 3 percent use it.
Make it mandatory.
Yeah…I’ll keep using an accountant. That’s my first line of defense.
Somebody got to give those 87K new employees something to look into.
Thanks for taking one for the team.
CPA stamp is bug be gone for audits. They hate going up against someone who might know what they’re doing.
It’s almost like people don’t trust the IRS.
Return-free filing is the second, more dramatic option for a free, IRS-run e-filing system that experts say could once again be under consideration as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Return-free filing is used by many countries with advanced economies in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It essentially means that the government would do your taxes for you, withholding whatâs owed and then doing its own accounting without requiring forms to be sent in by taxpayers.
We’ll have to do away with cash, first. And self-employment.
They’re working on those.
“Recent Twitter discourse compels me to remind you: home cooking is regressive, NIMBY-aligned, problematically gendered, and ultimately a means of reifying existing class structures. The revolution will not be prepared in your kitchen; it will be served to you at a restaurant.”
https://twitter.com/GoodGuyGuaranty/status/1558950110062678018
I’ll have the word salad.
Wait… so me cooking at home is bad now?
Of course! You must eat in the communal dining facility, comrade. What are you trying to hide?
The cockroach souffle’ is delightful.
Looks like satire to me.
Cooking as a performative act of luxury hobbyist consumption (e.g. preferring gas over induction, paying a premium for red knobs, trying to nail a sous vide recipe) when restaurants exist is a nefarious market inefficiency – especially on a quality adjusted basis.
So Titiana McGrath in the kitchen?
I’m sure this is satire, but when I traveled to Vietnam they had a lot of communal neighborhood dining. I thought it was interesting.
I’m not saying we must do that, just that cultural differences are really interesting and the more I travel the more I notice how caught up we all get in what seems “normal” to us and everything else seems “terrible.” I often wonder what kind of solutions we could come up with if we borrowed more from other cultures.
This is why I support free markets. The guy who typed this is satirizing people who would force this on others. We need more freedom to just try new ideas, and maybe this is one that could be the foundation for something more useful that could become a cultural norm. We won’t ever know because the minute someone tries to make it mandatory most of the rest of us rightfully tell them to fuck off.
I probably only care because it centers around food, and food is a great way to identify cultural differences that can be fun and interesting.
The Soviets tried to eliminate family kitchens in favor of communal ones.
Quality satire requires that the satirized not have already attempted the act.
“Education secretary says Biden student debt announcement due in ‘next week or so'”
I should be PO’d about this, since I’ve been ‘helping’ my 3 grand daughters with their student loans. Were it not for the tax laws they’d all finished.
I don’t really care, because paying off debts is the right thing to do.
About 10% of the population is going to be ecstatic about this. The rest, not so much.
Even going with the most cynical take, this isn’t going to change anyone’s vote – the people who will benefit wouldn’t be caught dead voting for anyone other than a ‘D’.
It might peel off whatever blue collar workers that still vote Dem. And it will 100% cement that the Dems are the party of the credentialed class.
Ding!
I think it’s a terrible idea. And I am pissed off.
Part of me hopes the assholes realize that it’s going too far. But another part of me wants to see the world burn.
A conundrum.
At this point it seems like both parties are doing their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s just one bad idea after another.
I wonder which school will reach $100K annual tuition first. Place your bets.
âItâs critical to make filing taxes as easy as possible,â Frank Clemente, director of the left-leaning advocacy organization Americans for Tax Fairness, said in an interview. âWeâve got to move away from this adversarial feeling. A simpler tax system will reduce cost, increase compliance and make people just feel better about the IRS.â
Except for those “Taxation is Theft” crackpots. It would be so much easier if the IRS just sent you a notice telling you how much of your money they think you are entitled to get your grubby mitts on.
A kinder, gentler tax audit.
So, a dildo WITHOUT barbs?
GAH!!!
Punchline to an old joke: “Ma’am, that’s my thermos.”
In a Wednesday memo to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed concern about unfairness built into the tax system, which she described as âtwo-tiered.â
âMost Americans pay what they owe, but those at the top of the distribution often do not,â Yellen wrote.
It’s almost as if the tax code is written in such a way that “what you owe” is open to interpretation.
Our best. Our brightest.
How exactly do you calculate a fair share?
Here is a really, really, really, really, good idea.
I mean, this time it will work right? I mean Stalin and Mao just didn’t have the right “experts” to advise them.
Groundbreaking! It’s never been tried before!
Mass graves do involve a lot of ground-breaking.
Ok… I’m really leaning towards this being an extra elaborate troll at this point. If his next “brilliant idea” involves everyone being forced to read a Little Red Book, we’ll know the jig is up.
Work brigades. This fucker isn’t emulating Stalin or Mao, his ideal is Pol Pot. Eyeglass wearing intellectuals will clearly be exempt this time.

I read more of his twitter. He is an academic. Read all the “right” books and can probably regurgitate them on command. But the closest he has ever been to a real job is McDonalds … maybe. He has no idea of how the real world operates and believes all prior tries at Communism weren’t done by noble people like him. And besides, he and his fellow travelers have learned from prior mistakes. All problems can be solved by experts. I’m thinking the closest he has ever been to a farm is driving by one. He definitely has never worked at one.
Iâd happily drop him in the rural Philippines to work the fields

Ford Motor is cutting about 3,000 jobs from its global workforce, as the automaker attempts to lower costs as part of restructuring efforts under CEO Jim Farley.
Ford began notifying workers of the reductions on Monday, a company spokesman confirmed. The cuts are for 2,000 salaried positions and 1,000 agency jobs in the U.S., Canada and India, Farley and Ford Chair Bill Ford said in a message to employees that was obtained by CNBC.
âBuilding this future requires changing and reshaping virtually all aspects of the way we have operated for more than a century. It requires focus, clarity and speed. And, as we have discussed in recent months, it means redeploying resources and addressing our cost structure, which is uncompetitive versus traditional and new competitors,â the message reads.
Fordâs cost-cutting actions are the latest in a series of efforts by companies to reduce expenses and employee head count amid fears of a potential recession or economic softening, with inflation hovering near a 40-year high.
The cuts, which were first reported Monday by Automotive News, come less than a month after Farley told analysts that âwe absolutely have too many people in certain places, no doubt about it.â
Just don’t cut any of those vitally necessary ESG and diversity departments.
Also, electric cars practically build themselves. Who needs all that dead weight sitting around.
The Vietnamese will be making their brand in NC and can hire the Ford experienced people.
It says “salaried and agency positions”. I don’t think they are cutting the line workers. Yet.
Under Farley, who became CEO in October 2020, Ford is going through a massive transformation of the company called Ford+ that includes plans to cut $3 billion in structural costs by 2026, while investing billions to expand its electric and commercial vehicle businesses.
âWe worked differently than in the past, examining each teamâs shifting work statement connected to our Ford+ plan. We are eliminating work, as well as reorganizing and simplifying functions throughout the business,â read the message to employees.
A plan to radically transform the company. They do this every five years or so, don’t they?
They’re banking on enforcement of IC engine bans.
Nicer way of saying “offshore all the manufacturing left in the U.S. and Canada.”

Elon Musk has subpoenaed former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey as part of his effort to fight a lawsuit from the company attempting to force the billionaire to move forward with their $44 billion acquisition deal.
With the subpoena, made public in court filings on Monday, Musk’s legal team seeks a wide range of information from Dorsey, who stepped down as CEO of Twitter last November and remained on the board until late May, a month after the company agreed to sell itself to the Tesla CEO.
Musk’s legal team is asking for all documents and communications regarding the merger agreement as well as those “reflecting, referring to, or relating to the impact or effect of false or spam accounts on Twitter’s business and operations.”
What are the chances Dorsey goes with the Sgt Schultz defense?
Or perhaps since he was forced out, he goes with the scorned-wife retaliation?
Tales from the Road #2: President Grant died 7/23/1885 in a cottage near Saratoga Springs, NY, days after he finished his memoirs. Diagnosed with cancer (too many cigars) and broke (he lent virtually all his assets to his son’s partner who turned out to be the Bernie Madoff of his day), Grant finally agreed to write his memoirs to provide a little cash for his family.
He shook on a deal to receive 10% of proceeds but, before he could sign the deal, his friend Mark Twain, said he would publish his memoirs and give Grant 70%! Grant had to be persuaded to back off the handshake deal and sign with Twain. His memoirs, still in print today, earned something like $15 million (2022 dollars) for his family. His widow, Julia, became good friends with Jeff Davis’ widow, Varina. Confederate General Joe Johnston, whom Grant bested in the Vicksburg Campaign, was one of Grant’s pallbearers. Johnston also was a pallbearer for another nemesis, Cump Sherman, in 1891; he refused to wear a hat, in respect, caught a cold and died 10 days later of pneumonia.

With a paid Proton Mail account you can read and write emails using MS Outlook or Thunderbird.
Yeah, I noticed that. My email needs are very basic – I would even be happy with the built-in MS Mail.
But their web app is surprisingly slick – even has notifications. I’ll probably stick with that until I need more space or something.

I book my own travel so no danger there, it’s the comparison with coworkers I worry about and the fact that “business class hotel” in policy means cheap discount hotels not just to my coworkers but my management chain too. To me, that’s Courtyard or Hilton Garden Inn, particularly given the smaller markets I visit.
