Shit.
Well I’m sure you all know that Ohio State shit the bed in the biggest game of the year. It was an absolutely horrible game on defense and the play calling was pitiful. And now I have to hear about it for a second year in a row. Fuck. In the Middle East, this World Cup improving entertaining anyway, as we’re about to be finished with the complete slate of second group matches and so far only one team has officially made it through to the round of 16. I guess parity is good. Also, the Bengals beat the Titans in a hell of a game and the Ravens lost to the lowly Jags in what I can only assume was not a pretty affair. And that’s it for sports.
Here comes some climate change. And perhaps it’ll be for real this time, seeing as this will release more CO2 than every car in America over the next year. But the activists don’t want you to know that.
I don’t believe you.
Second (or maybe third or fourth) verse, same as the first. So does that mean we should all treat this as propaganda too? Because it was a lie then.
Yet all the news has focused on one guy. You’d almost think it was for political reasons they singled him out even though the entire industry is downsizing due to a lack of profitability and internal bloat. I guess they all finally realized that VC money wasn’t gonna flow in forever and that they actually had to start making money.
But this is really what the complaints in the last link are really about. They want their echo chamber and they’re gonna go after anybody that upsets it.
You get what you ask for. I’m not saying this business did that, but the city, in general, is reaping what it sown.
Holy shit.
Any landing you walk away from is a good landing. Although does this technically count as a landing since the plane never reached the ground?
What could possibly go wrong? This will not go seamlessly.
Nice job, Houston. Well, at least their kids are getting a day off school. There’s the silver lining.
Here’s a fun song. They’re touring too. And we can’t decide if we’re going or not. And here’s another. They’re a half a generation late for me to have really gotten it, yet I still find them entertaining. Anyway, enjoy it.
And enjoy this Monday. I will because it’s Liberty’s birthday. You go find a reason to do the same.
My internet is out, did the Packers beat the Eagles?

Everyone who isn’t paralyzingly neurotic ‘moved on from the pandemic’ 2 and a half years ago, you fucking clown.
The grift must continue.
Emergency powers allowed them to “fortify” two elections so far, and to up the stealing of tax payer money to new levels. More importantly, the petty tyrant in tem got to come out and play. Why the fuck would they ever want to give that shit up?
From what I’ve read on derp sites the latest vaccine will only last a few weeks before the covidians are begging for another.
Looks like the covid is competing with fentanyl for most deaths this year.
only about 11% of the country has gotten the latest booster compared to 80% of people who completed the primary course of vaccination that was rolled out in 2021
So sad.
Most optimistic way to read that? As the upper bound for the “paralyzingly neurotic” in this country.
Here’s hopin’.
Did 80% of people really get the full first round? Including kids?
Even 80% of adults is way higher than I would have guessed.
“Get the shot by the date given in this notice or we will determine you quit.”
I got that notice too, I just chose to switch jobs rather than submit… I don’t think they ever ended up enforcing it.
The FYTW of firing people while claiming they quit was a nice touch.
Yeah, I’m not buying that either.
I think it’s 80% of adults, and I don’t doubt it. I know plenty of people who held out for as long as they could before eventually submitting.
Revealed preferences.
It’s just a light saline solution, but it’s what the neurotics need for closure.
This vaccine will make your tits and/or dick bigger as well!
“What could possibly go wrong? This will not go seamlessly.”
BREAKING: Paul Pelosi Shot in the Dick
You just made me realize Ive heard nuthin’ about the Pelosi break-in in weeks now.
Huh.
That’s because a) they couldn’t make the “MAGA terrorist” label stick to talker-to-squirrels Depape, and b) they got the gift of the Club Q shooting and a pile of bodies with higher oppression quotients than Pelosi’s husband.
Also, that the whole thing was sus af.
No one noticed a guy in his underwear with a hammer and zip ties walking around?
Why didn’t the alarm go off?
Who opened the door for the cops?
What Pelosi break-in?
Right? Next thing you know, these nut bags around here will be making shit up about a mass shooting at a concert in Las Vegas!
It’s interesting that we’re still at probably half of what market interest rates should be, and already we’re seeing these sorts of effects from the free money spigot moving by 1mm.
I’m not sure this is all interest rate related. There was a blow up of glut over the last couple of years with companies thinking they had new revenue streams from Work From Home (more PCs, more services, etc.) and crypto mining exploding around the same time. Both of those have cooled considerably, and there’s more than a little contraction because of that.
Some of the most recent stuff probably is VCs looking at interest rates and realizing they’re overleveraged or otherwise might need to actually show something for their money, true.
And there was a massive influx of government
advertisingpropaganda money for COVID vaccines in 2021. Government was the largest ad buyer across all advertising sectors. That’s mostly over.That’s what I’m thinking, although of course you’re correct that there’s other factors as well. I’ll be interested to see if their cozy relationships with the government end up paying off for the SV social media unicorns the same way it did with the banks.
Why wouldn’t the VC money keep coming in? It’s been coming in for 30 years and flowing to many companies who had no business model other than “it’s tech and a larger company will buy it” and “we pay all our employees 50% more than what their counterparts in other industries make”, and “we don’t pay dividends no matter how high the stock price is…ever.” Why wouldn’t it just keep on coming? They’ve defied everything I thought I learned in finance class for 3 decades.
“We’ve talked about this so many times: People aren’t listening,” Raddatz said of the federal government’s push for vaccinations while low booster rates remain the norm.
You wanna tell him or should I?
only about 11% of the country has gotten the latest booster compared to 80% of people who completed the primary course of vaccination that was rolled out in 2021
What a difference when people are allowed freedom.
And probably a lot of the original batch caught it anyways and didn’t buy the “well, it would have been worse” line they trotted out.
It totally would have worked if it wasn’t from the anti-placebo effect from all those covid deniers in the reich-wing media! Blood is on their hands!

“Other people not getting the shot gave me blood clots.”
many people choose to protect themselves in this way “when they hear it from trusted voices.”
“Our strategy is get out into the community, talk to religious leaders, talk to civil society leaders, community-based organizations, have them get out to the community and talk to people, Jha said.
Is he admitting the White House is not a trusted voice.
And a lot of people are coming to the realization that many of those other things are not “trusted voices” either.
Those same religious leaders who were threatened with arrest for attempting to hold religious services?
OCP moved its HQ to San Fran?
To be fair, Dallas already killed a dude with a robot.
Also to be fair, the first Robocop was actually filmed in Dallas.

I saw another excerpt of that guy speaking with Fauci giving the bit about God giving us two arms in order to receive a flu shot in one and a Covid shot in the other. There are a lot of stupid provaccine arguments but that’s got to be the stupidest.
“Twindemic” never caught on, but our betters in the media are really pushing the “Tripledemic!” line.
If they’re worried about three things, can I heartily recommend Fauci and crew take their one shot in each arm and then shoot themselves in the dick?
“our betters in the media are really pushing the “Tripledemic!” line”
Their argument is . . . airtight?

Can Feds in Canadia glow when they’re wearing 10+ layers of clothes ?
But seriously — good luck. Hope there’s some actual accountability for the Twink and his minions, it would be a welcome change from “I could probably piss on the peasants from the Governor’s Mansion and as long as I have a (D) next to my name I’m fine” in this state.
Saw an article over the weekend that the Biden admin was leaning on y’all to crack down hard on the Freedom Convoys — with the overt excuse of “It will hurt our car manufacturing plants… oh noes!” but most of the advisors mentioned being DHS… so pretty sure it was “Clamp down there so it doesn’t spread here, since you have better emergency powers!”.
Narrator: And it worked, didn’t it?
We’re trying to ascertain the level of how much the U.S. leaned on Canada. Whitmore apparently voiced concern and may have yapped to Ford something. wouldn’t surprise me she too was asking for heads to be cracked. That spazz-mental case Freeland said the Americans were “very, very, very worried” (be vewwy, vewwy, quiet) ergo we needed to act to save the economy! Justin said Biden was concerned but ‘pas plus que ca’. So there seems to be confusion on the level of urgency expressed by the U.S. I don’t know what the Ambassador Bridge blockade did to Detroit but its impact was immediately felt in Windsor which is a tiny city by comparison.
However, the key here is that the bridge had one lane open and the protestors (characterized as ‘occupiers’ by the criminals in the government) were cooperating with police BEFORE the invocation. That’s why the government pivoted to “but lone wolf attacks!” and ‘Pop up convoy!’ and ‘we needed to save Canada from economic destruction!’
All this could have been avoided had they just ended the mandates but Justin had a vendetta and made it personal. If you listened to the hearings, it was crystal clear what the government’s mindset was. They viewed the truckers as criminals threatening people. Canadians are such fucking pussies honking and illegal parking became a threat to national security. Anyway, i’ve taken notes about how full of shit they are. And wholly dangerous. The government itself is a threat to national security with its disinformation. Just got up there and made several lies including claiming the truckers were using children as human shields (which literally was never ever brought up. Not even the feckless media but the claim wasn’t challenged by hack government lawyers) and that he never said abhorrent divisive things about the unvaccinated. We have the receipts. That’s all he did from the end of August during the campaign well into the dead of winter. Not only is Justin Trudeau a psychotic mendacious liar he’s a cruel coward; just like the rest of the if the susses cabinet of retards.
But I’m not sure. To me, it seems like the Liberals wanted to invoke from the start and had legislation ready to go including making it permanent to be able to freeze bank accounts without a court order. In fact, throughout the public hearings, every single Cabinet member said that the law trails events and that they needed to ignore existing laws and rewrite them. In other words, the era of amending laws on the fly to fit a narrative has arrived. So why have laws? A Charter?
When Biden began to lean is a bone of contention of sorts.
Good luck muppet, we’re all counting on you.
We’ll be over here slacking.

Smoked meat is another matter altogether.
Reuben’s, Dunn’s, Levitt’s, Schwartz’s and back in the day Ben’s.
I would smuggle back some smoked meat (vacuum packed meat is non-go apparently) but the border inspections have gotten absurd lately.

Not a good landing, a nonfatal disaster of a landing. A very very lucky couple of people.
They’re just glad it wasn’t a shocking story and they’re fully energized for their 15 minutes of fame.
I was an adolescent. It was fun at the time. Still nostalgic. But I probably wouldn’t see them live. Is it the whole band together, or just Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus? Tom DeLonge seems like kind of a twat and has split off from the band so many times I’ve lost count.
I miss the days of the quasipunk bands that were named after numbers but I can’t say I miss the music though.
Aye. Some of that late ’90s/early aughts pop punk has more replay value than the nu-metal that was otherwise dominating charts at the time, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily due for a revival or anything. Then again my taste is questionable – I have fond remembrances of the mid aughts landfill indie.
“landfill indie”
Hey, Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse are good bands.
Modest Mouse remains in my top 5 favorite bands of all time and probably always will. I wouldn’t put them in that category. Landfill indie is more like Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand, Paddingtons, etc.
AM is great, although the latest lounge-fest LP is a snoozer. Saw them 3 times in 2013-2014, including at Track 29 in Chattanooga with about 500? people.
Modest Mouse is great but they are like Future Islands in that all of their songs sound basically the same, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
‘Our city is in peril. Small businesses (and large) cannot sustain doing business, in our city’s current state. We have no protection, or recourse, against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished. Do not be fooled into thinking that insurance companies cover losses. We have sustained 15 break-ins … we have not received any financial reimbursement since the 3rd,’ the store’s owner Marcy Landolfo wrote.
Obviously the evil insurance companies are to blame.
Its not really about the punishment. The rot goes deeper than that.
Have to say, Portland is long past the point I would have expected neighborhood militias to spin out of neighborhood watches. If the government abrogates its duties and all.
More likely than not the only thing the cops know the DA will come down hard on from the sound of things. Well, that and I’d bet if someone is rude to said DA or other city nobility.
Look at South Africa – farmers have fortified their properties like an army firebase, but haven’t started taking offensive actions. The suburbs would probably make a stand (and did a few times when antifa showed up), but anyone living in the city has accepted it.
If you take a stand you’ll end up in prison because there’s a different standard. Absent the government oppression that comes from doing that it would have happened long ago. No one wants to be the next Rittenhouse but unsuccessful.
The J6 protestors still rotting in a gulag.

Monkeypox given new name by global health experts
The Disease Formerly Know As Monkey Pox.
Prince should sue.
He would lose cause these geniuses would argue and convince the court that they HAD to rename the disease cause people infected or scared would take their vengeance out on monkeys or something…
Sodompox?
I mean, the only thing racist about the existing name is the people who somehow see a reference to ‘monkey’ in a disease that came from monkeys and see some racial reference.
Aren’t the racists the ones who conflate the appearance of black folks and the appearance of monkeys? And changing it to Mpox is just fucking lazy.
“We must change the name of this disease to save me from my own racist thoughts.”
I sense an endorsement opportunity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHozn0YXAeE
I was thinking THIS.
“Mmmm Pox Pox Music”
Because chicken pox is racist against chickens?
As long as it isn’t the Fried Chicken Pox, it’s ok.
Mmmpox?
after complaints over racist and stigmatising language linked to the virus’s name.
If you think “monkeypox” is racist then you are the racist.
That video makes me wonder: could you go down to Skid Row and hand out hundred dollar bills and see a detectable uptick in deaths?
Mpox was decided on after lengthy discussions between experts, countries and the general public.
Sure it was.
I do have to wonder how many hours of high level meetings were needed to drop the onkey.
Wasn’t “Drop the Onkey” the first draft of that Peter Gabriel song?
I think it was “Mock the Honkey”
No, I’m sure it was.
After days of pointless bickering about it, they finally waylaid a caterer who was just trying to get the danishes out for the next meeting break and asked him what they should call it… and he said “Mmmmm… pox?”
So they went with it.
““I don’t believe that someone in her position, who is a member of this group, could put those biases aside, especially in a decision like the one coming up,” Maura Sullivan, a 46-year-old raised in a People of Praise community, told The Guardian. Sullivan, who identified as bisexual, said she came out at 19 and her parents cut her off and prevented her from spending time alone with a younger sister. They have since rekindled their relationship after the parents left the People of Praise community.
The case of 303 Creative LLC v. Aubrey Elenis involves Lorie Smith, owner and founder of a graphic design firm, who wants to post a statement saying she will not take on clients requesting wedding website designs for same-sex couples, as gay marriage conflicts with her religious beliefs.
The court will deliberate whether the Colorado AntiDiscrimination Act, which prohibits businesses that are open to the public from discriminating on the basis of numerous characteristics, including sexual orientation, violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. Smith maintains that she has worked with LGBTQ clients on other projects that don’t conflict with her religious beliefs.”

In any honest(!) assessment of the panicdemic, , it would be necessary to examine the obdurate refusal by the government and the “public health” mafia to acknowledge the yawning chasm between the models and the actual numbers and effects.
Also, why they seemed to be actively preventing treatment of symptoms.
But what do I know?
They can’t do that — people might start questioning other models that haven’t borne any resemblance to reality over the last 20 (or more) years… and then one of their big grifts falls apart.
“People with respiratory illnesses should remain indoors to avoid inhaling the ash particles and anyone outside should cover their mouth and nose with a mask or cloth,” the National Weather Service in Honolulu warned.

Getting to see the lava lake for this eruption will be a great deal more effort. It is a long hike to get in and the summit is almost 13,700.

What an expert.
Prior to November 2019 children never missed school during the beginning of cold and flu season.
Another reason I’m happy Youngkin defeated McAwful.
Uh huh, sure. I thought everyone had the ability to school from home now?
I discussed this with my sister over Thanksgiving dinner (she’s got two school aged kids). Per her, they still do snow days, and even she originally thought they shouldn’t. The one defense was that usually when they’re cancelling for snow days, there’s a chunk of the area that also has lost or intermittent power.
They still do have one “home day” a month (IIRC), that she was… unhappy about. It’s a half length day where the students are learning from home, and per her, “They don’t get anything done.”
I guess still better than the half days where they run buses and get everyone to school just in time to send them back.
Although does this technically count as a landing since the plane never reached the ground?
Either way it is shocking that no one was injured.

It’s possible I did not look hard enough, but I have heard the average age of covid death is still above the average life expectancy. Where the hell is this stat coming from? When I search I can only find the graphs with deaths by age group, which shows it is probably correct, but I cannot find the exact average age of death.

“Woman sues Kraft Heinz for $5million claiming the $10.99 Velveeta Shells & Cheese cups take longer to prepare than the 3 ½ minutes it says on the label”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11476839/Florida-woman-sues-Kraft-Heinz-5million.html
Really?
Well, it also says cheese on the label.
Nuisance lawsuit. They’ll settle with her for like $5K and a NDA. There are some people who do this regularly. Serial trip-and-fall victims, ADA compliance trolls, etc.
It’s popped up in my newsfeed that they’re trying to make it a class action suit. So you may get a coupon for 50% off a package of Velveeta Shells and Cheese, and the lawyer will make bank.
They are gonna argue in court that the the real problem and why they need at least 10x that payout was the level of intestinal cloggage caused by eating that fake shit caused….
how does one arrive at 5 millioon for that sort of thing?>
The lawsuit is ridiculous, but “food fraud” is indeed a crime. For instant rice, we cook every bulk batch we receive to verify it will reconstitute using the retail label’s stated cooking instructions before we package it. For dried beans we get frequent consumer complaints such as this woman’s. We keep retained samples of all bulk lots received on hand for a year so that we can test the cook times to contest these complaints. We even test popped popcorn volume to make sure it is fluffy enough to avoid complaints that the popcorn is too small.
If she’s spending $10.99 on cups of that garbage* she can afford an extra few minutes. From time to time, Tres Ver 2.0 gladly eats those (generally with a meatloaf sammich).
*Im going to bet that the $10.99 she’s wasting isnt HER money- its SNAP or EBT** benefits paying for it
**EBT- (we) EAT BETTER TODAY
The Velveeta mac and cheese lawsuit seem like it should be thrown out before it starts. There should have to be an injured party involved in these cases. Taking slightly longer is likely due to how it was tested vs the consumer’s set up.
By the way the Blue boxed Mac and Cheese seems to be relatively preservative free these days and has actual cheese products in it. It’s likely much better for you if you make it with butter and milk than the the velveeta.

Dr. Stephanie Seneff from MIT
mRNA turns into DNA in 6 hours
Don’t know. It’s an in vitro study so it doesn’t necessarily translate to in vivo, but it raises a lot of questions.
Hell, they haven’t even done detailed studies on how much spike protein is produced after taking the clotshots. We don’t even know if they actually work in that regard.
not a damn thing
Could it mean the cells infected with mRNA are now permanently programmed to produce the spike protein?

“There’s no safe place anywhere,” Grigsby, 53, said, his voice shaking. “It doesn’t matter where we are or what we do. People are going to come for us.”
In politically red stretches of California — from the old logging towns in the north through the dusty farmlands of the Central Valley — the Colorado Springs massacre was yet another devastating reminder of how difficult and lonely it can be to be queer in conservative America.
There are few, if any, gay bars or other LGBTQ-friendly hangouts in this state’s more rural counties, where queer people say they live with a growing sense of foreboding.
“Redding is predominantly conservative. Because of that, obviously it heightens our senses,” said Roberta Mayberry, spokeswoman for the Wolfpack Clubhouse, a nonprofit for LGBTQ women in Shasta County.
The Colorado Springs attack comes at a time when hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ people — especially from Republican politicians and conservative pundits — is on the rise.
The titillating thrill of pretending your life is in danger every moment of every day.
The bogeyman is real. He’s under your bed. He’s behind that mailbox. He’s in your panty drawer.
Now ask them if they’d be cool with letting the red parts of California secede and form their own state…
Of course not! Then those stupid hicks could oppress with impunity! They need to be brought to heel by any means necessary!
Wolfpack Clubhouse is an odd name for a lesbian MC.
I stopped there.
I stopped at “queer people”.
I believe the history of “queer” is they “took it back”. I wonder how long until we’re supposed to pretend that “faggot” is the standard word for “gay”.

I guess the entire world scratching in the dirt for roots counts as “equitable” but I seriously doubt it will be “peaceful” if these idiots get their way.
n the 12 years that Archer Lombardi owned the Chico dive bar the Maltese, which was known for its drag shows and burlesque performances, he always feared violence.
“There has never been a time where I haven’t had nightmares about someone walking in and opening fire on us,” said Lombardi, a transgender man.
Sometimes, as he swept the sidewalk in front of the bar, people screamed anti-gay slurs from pickup trucks, he said.
Lombardi closed the Maltese in February after two years of economic pain during the COVID-19 pandemic. He and his partner bought a farm. Other venues have started hosting drag shows, but there are no other gay bars in Chico, home to Cal State Chico, or the surrounding area.
“Chico is a pretty cool town and usually pretty supportive of the LGBTQ+ community for the most part,” Lombardi said. “It’s just, once you start getting out of Chico, things get a little too red and a little less gay friendly.”
War is Hell.
I think I should start believing what Hollywood and all these other people are telling me and conclude that California is just completely chock full of bigots.
“people screamed anti-gay slurs from pickup trucks”
Uh huh; because life reflects your stereotypes.
Maybe California really is like that.
That exact scenario happened to me in downtown Boston.
Shit happens.
Yeah, that was the one thing I actually believed in the story.

This just in — Some areas are more welcoming of alternative lifestyles than others! More at 11.

The grand folly of lockdown is coming home to roost
Britain is now paying an extraordinary price for shutting down society.
The bleak truth is that in post-lockdown Britain, access to healthcare is no longer a given. NHS waiting lists are at record levels. Over seven million patients were waiting to start hospital treatment at the end of September. Over 400,000 had been waiting for over a year. This is more than double the pre-pandemic level. According to YouGov and Eurostat data, one in six UK adults were unable to access a pressing medical examination or treatment over the past year – the highest proportion in Europe.
Over the past several years, the Covid pandemic has put extraordinary pressure on hospitals. But the NHS backlog cannot only be blamed on virus patients taking up extra beds. Our ‘lockdown first, ask questions later’ approach must take a significant portion of the blame, too. Not only did the government’s lockdown messaging discourage the public from seeking treatment – the NHS also cancelled and delayed people’s treatments, even when hospital capacity was not being stretched.
Watch them blame everyone but themselves, then demand the people let them stay in power so they can replay this shit again. Their was an agenda. We used to be accused of being conspiracy theorists for pointing out that one or more cabals of powerful and ultra rich people with nefarious agendas were working towards a totalitarian globalist world order in one way or another. Now they publicly admit it and try to tell us without any shame or remorse that we should let them shackle us all, accept their agenda on energy that will put 6 billion out of the 8 billion on the planet right now in the ground, and leave the few that survive living as a serf class to the new hereditary oligarchy in charge (the people peddling the new world order).

“Clinton-linked dark money group targeted Twitter advertisers amid Elon Musk’s takeover
Accountable Tech and dozens of left-wing groups have targeted Twitter’s top advertisers”
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/clinton-linked-dark-money-group-targets-twitter-advertisers-amid-elon-musks-takeover
“In the shift of the left against free speech principles, there is no figure more actively or openly pushing for censorship than Hillary Clinton. Now, reports indicate that Clinton has unleashed her allies in the corporate world to coerce Musk to restore censorship policies or face bankruptcy. The effort of the Clinton-linked “Accountable Tech” reveals the level of panic in Democratic circles that free speech could be restored on one social media platform. The group was open about how losing control over Twitter could result in a loss of control over social media generally. For Clinton, it is an “all-hands on deck” call for censorship. She previously called upon foreign governments to crackdown on the free speech of Americans on Twitter.”

Cracking open ‘The Nutcracker’s’ dark Russian past
Behind the holiday classic lies an unsavory history that may change the way you think about it
https://www.washingtonpost.com/theater-dance/2022/11/25/nutcracker-history-russian-imperialism/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB
“It was reflecting a czarist culture,” says Jennifer Fisher, author of “Nutcracker Nation: How an Old World Ballet Became a Christmas Tradition in the New World.” “What it is to have a master when you’re a servant and you’re supported by the czar, and royalty always has to be celebrated. The choreographers do know who’s paying the bills.”
Wow. Fascinating analysis.
See Klaus Schwab….

Scrooge is dead
Pablo Eisenberg, a fierce critic of nonprofits and philanthropy, died at age 90
——-
In the rarefied world of private philanthropy, where nonprofits are loath to criticize the moneyed donors whose largesse they depend on, Pablo Eisenberg was an anomaly.
A nonprofit leader, professor and social justice advocate, he was a loud and influential watchdog of the philanthropic sector, which he routinely castigated for promoting inequality and neglecting the most pressing concerns of society.
Eisenberg, who died Oct. 18 at age 90, argued that charitable giving often benefits the wealthy more than the needy. He chastised prosperous donors for giving disproportionately to Ivy League schools, rich hospitals and well-endowed museums, all while getting tax breaks for their donations. Why not share more of that wealth, he asked, with community colleges, low-income health centers, small arts groups and other struggling organizations?
Oh, wait…
He wasn’t actually opposed to charity? Dammit.
Because all of those causes already consume ~70% of the tax money that the wealthy benefactors already pay?
So do the colleges and universities.
The reason, of course, is that you get a lot of strokes from your rich buddies when you give to big name colleges and health systems.

Russell Brand showed a really interesting interview last night with Jeffrey Sachs about the conflict in Ukraine. A lot of information about the role the US neocons played in essentially orchestrating the entire conflict going back decades. Link’s below if anyone is interested.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-mS-dCUz74
After they lost the ability to launder money in Afghanistan, they fell back on the Ukraine where these crooks had already set up all the operations to launder money already. They just needed to up the scale of the fucking corruption.
Seems to be the same poor Putin was threatened by NATO horseshit.
Ask Libya how defensive NATO is.
Libya is not Russia so this is a non sequitur. Ask yourself why every country near Russia is eager to join NATO
Because it’s cheaper than developing your own defense forces?
developing your own defense forces is not really viable for most against Russia. But why would there be such a great need for this?
The Russian soldier is not very familiar with the Geneva Convention section about not taking spoils?
Every country has a great need to be able to defend itself, either through providing their own defense, paying for outsourced defense, or allying with similar countries to provide mutual defense. Otherwise, it’s not really a sovereign country, just a vassal state of whoever is providing that protection.
In America’s case, the elites have reversed the historical script where American taxpayers are idiotically paying to defend her vassal states instead of having the wealth of the vassal states shipped back to America. In the process, the elites grab the American wealth as it flows outwards.
Sure. But why do they feel such a strong need for one?
Sweden openly admitted that they want in so they can cut their defense budget.
Sweden probably already assumes that it would be supported by the west in case of Russian invasion. But just the EU countries would probably be enough if sufficiently cohesive militarily right now, given the state of Russia. Would need more nukes though or keeping Britain close.
NATO isn’t purely “defensive” by any stretch and so I believe it’s quite relevant. Why did they make assurances to Russia NATO wouldn’t expand eastward when the Soviet Union fell? They break that and you have NATO conducting offensive wars and it’s even more relevant.
Why did they make assurances to Russia NATO wouldn’t expand eastward when the Soviet Union fell – probably to prevent Russia doing military shit in neighbor countries
They break that and you have NATO conducting offensive wars – Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc… there was zero chance of any NATO attack on Russia
So they lied? Not a good idea to do with a nuclear superpower that you suddenly have an opportunity to somewhat mend relations with after a half century of hatred. US foreign policy has played a huge role in getting us to where we are. Doesn’t absolve Putin of his actions, but it should expose the neo cons that helped get us here.
What assurances? Some vague statements in the early 90’s about having no current plans to extend NATO?
Of course, we did sign actual agreements, along with the Russians, to not threaten and to protect Ukraine from aggression, in exchange for securing and ultimately removing their nuclear weapon stockpile.
You had also had Minsk 1 and 2 which were broken. You call them vague, but they existed and you have many heavyweights in and out of government warning exactly against expanding NATO for the reasons we’re seeing now. See George Kennan.
What does Minsk 1 & 2 have to do with NATO? They were (unrealistic) attempts to end the civil war, and ended up being mostly ignored by both sides, and especially by whichever side thought they had the upper hand at the moment.
Listening now – our foreign policy has been pure evil for a long time.

Mission Local first reported that the Law Enforcement Use of Equipment Policy, which is scheduled to be voted on by the full San Francisco Board of Supervisors next week, was originally silent on whether the department’s 17 remote-controlled robots could use lethal force. Supervisor Aaron Peskin then added a line reading, “Robots shall not be used as a Use of Force against any person,” but an SFPD revision changed that language to “Robots will only be used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers are imminent and outweigh any other force option available to SFPD.”
The article doesn’t say, but I would bet money that the lethal force they’re talking about here is something like tasers or pepper spray. Putting a gun on a glorified RC car is too silly even for San Francisco.
Could be explosives? I’ve seen videos of police departments sending robots with explosives to kill shooters holed up.
That sounds way too cool for a police department, though.
Dallas did it.
IIRC, in Dallas it was used to place a shaped charge on the other side of a wall from the soon-to-be-decedent.

Wife and I were watching a Netflix series last night about bots named ‘Better than us’. In the first moments of the show, they talk about bot laws, a first, second, and third law, the first law being about not harming humans.
I said to the wife ‘Well, we already fucked that up when we let cops have the bots’. Why the fuck would you give the cops bots if you wanted them to do anything other than kill something, mostly humans and pets, the cops apparent only objective.
BTW, the series is Russian, so I’m already flagged by the Brandon regime to be first in the camps.

Indeed, Eisenberg urged deep-pocketed donors to give away even more, to increase funding for grassroots groups working to remedy racial and economic inequalities, and to seek greater input from nonprofits on how to spend their charitable dollars.
He also pushed for private foundations to be held more accountable for where their money goes. He was livid when they spent charitable funds on lavish offices, high trustee pay and bloated administrative costs. And he fumed over how little the IRS and state attorneys general regulate the charitable sector.
His views made him unpopular with some private foundations, to whom he was a relentless thorn in the side.
“It was easy to cross Pablo Eisenberg,” said Ray Madoff, a Boston College Law School professor who studies philanthropy. “And I’m sure it was plenty annoying for people who were big donors and felt they were doing something good, but then to be told they weren’t doing something that was good enough.”

They want to get on the dole?
You have to admit, outsourcing your defense responsibilities leaves a lot more money for fuckery.
Non nato countries like Moldova still use most money for fuckery, not defense. Because defense would be pointless, Ukraine is much bigger and without massive western support would have stood 0 chance, and they have been preparing for 7 years. Moldova would be no point in even planning defense from Russia.
Because Russia was always going to invade Ukraine even if Ukraine had remained neutral and the West had not been building a military presence there?
Because Russia was always going to invade Ukraine even if Ukraine had remained neutral – probably, the second it tried to move away from Russian influence
Oh, you mean like how it moved away in 2014?
My point being that the Western countries have been screwing around in Ukraine with the intent of creating an intolerable situation for Russia. They’ve openly admitted as much in DC.
Washington doesn’t care at all about Ukrainians, they’re more than content to watch them get slaughtered in a war (see Lindsay Graham) so long as it cripples Russia’s military (and Germany’s economy), which they somehow think will ensure DC’s continued hegemony as the sole global superpower. A Russian/German economic alliance was intolerable for them.
Western countries have been screwing around in Ukraine – why did so many in Ukraine want to get closer to Western countries and distance themselves from Russia? If Russia was a good model, Ukraine would have reason to be friendly.
an intolerable situation for Russia- what made the situation intolerable?
Washington doesn’t care at all about Ukrainians – not “elite” cares about anyone, so this is not saying much
Germany’s economy – give credit where its due, the Germans ruined Germany’s economy no one else
A Russian/German economic alliance was intolerable for them. – this would have been a bad idea for Germany as well, to be wholly dependent of Russian resources
Have we forgotten that Russia seized Ukrainian territory twice before the current invasion?
Or you could just be a corrupt money-laundering operation and the US will throw tens of billions of dollars your way – no need to join NATO unless you also want American boots on the ground.

Humanism is a heresy
Confusion is bound to follow the death of God
BY Tom Holland
https://unherd.com/2022/11/humanism-is-a-heresy/?=frlh
“Strikingly, however, in an age that has seen the theory of evolution almost universally accepted in Britain, and the limits of our knowledge of the universe pushed to ever more incredible extremes, there seems to have been no diminution in the value that we, as a culture, ascribe to human life. Quite the contrary. That we are all of us possessed of certain fundamental rights, simply by virtue of being human, and of a dignity that embraces our entire species, are doctrines so widely accepted in contemporary Britain that many of us barely recognise them as doctrines at all.”
“To accept the truth of all these various propositions — one might almost call them dogmas — requires, of course, less the exercise of reason than a leap of faith. That science sustains a belief in human rights is hardly an obvious proposition. Implausible too is the conviction of those who issued the Amsterdam Declaration that their own values are where “a continuing process of observation, evaluation and revision” is bound to lead — so much so that they rank, in effect, as universal. International the Humanists may claim to be, but in truth they are preponderantly Western. ”
Now Old Tom here (no, not the spiderman actor) has written a whole book about how humanism is a derivation / evolution of Christianity, but I think he is way to certain that Britain accepts inherent human rights
I’m curious as to where Mr. Holland makes his home. In a country that accepts the Western dogma of human rights, or in some shithole where human rights are not considered of any importance?
well as I said Britain you decide which that is

“A Peek Inside the FBI’s Unprecedented January 6 Geofence Dragnet
Google provided investigators with location data for more than 5,000 devices as part of the federal investigation into the attack on the US Capitol.
The FBI’s biggest-ever investigation included the biggest-ever haul of phones from controversial geofence warrants, court records show. A filing in the case of one of the January 6 suspects, David Rhine, shows that Google initially identified 5,723 devices as being in or near the US Capitol during the riot. Only around 900 people have so far been charged with offenses relating to the siege.
The filing suggests that dozens of phones that were in airplane mode during the riot, or otherwise out of cell service, were caught up in the trawl. Nor could users erase their digital trails later. In fact, 37 people who attempted to delete their location data following the attacks were singled out by the FBI for greater scrutiny.”

Word
“Gaslighting” — mind manipulating, grossly misleading, downright deceitful — is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.
Lookups for the word on merriam-webster.com increased 1,740% in 2022 over the year before. But something else happened. There wasn’t a single event that drove significant spikes in the curiosity, as it usually goes with the chosen word of the year.
The gaslighting was pervasive.
——-
Merriam-Webster’s top definition for gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person, usually over an extended period of time, that “causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.”
Gaslighting is a heinous tool frequently used by abusers in relationships — and by politicians and other newsmakers. It can happen between romantic partners, within a broader family unit and among friends. It can be a corporate tactic, or a way to mislead the public. There’s also “medical gaslighting,” when a health care professional dismisses a patient’s symptoms or illness as “all in your head.”
Just don’t mention the government propaganda.
There’s also “medical gaslighting,” when a health care professional dismisses a patient’s symptoms or illness as “all in your head.”
That’s not gaslighting, that’s just misdiagnosis. If the medical professional _knows_ it’s real and is trying to manipulate you, you can call that gaslighting.
Being wrong isn’t the same thing as trying to manipulate someone.
Non sequitur:
Dr. Google might tell me I’m dying, but he has given me a place to start. Me to doc: “I am having A, B, and C symptoms. Dr. Google tells me I have a hiatal hernia.” The doc says, “Okay, we’ll order an EGD.” … one EGD later … “Yes, you have one, but you also have X, Y, and Z problems that are more urgent.” I’ve been able to give my docs a starting place for the last few problems I’ve had. It’s very efficient.
Hooray, Dr. Google!
If the medical professional _knows_ it’s real and is trying to manipulate you, you can call that gaslighting.
Something something safe and effective.
That’s a mixture of gas-lighting and just being wrong/trusting others. Your average doc is going to take the NIH at their word (or did, perhaps) – they were just wrong.

Amakudari, grylliade, and Boo the Puppy, are bloggers, some or all of whom are believed and
therefore averred to be Pennsylvania residents, who the defendants either incited to post on their
websites scandalous, heinous, false and defamatory statements about the plaintiff or are the
defendants themselves, their agents, servants, principals, employees or co-conspirators, and
whose identities Reason and the other defendants have conspired to protect and refuse to provide
