I won’t miss this smug-fest.
Nothing really going on in American sports. Except that all teams have pitchers and catchers at spring training as of today. So let’s rejoice! Late addition as I was doing links: Tim McCarver has died. I’m sure his family loved him. Also, he was an asshole when he had a microphone in front of him. And across the pond, the JV tournament knockout rounds got underway. Now on to news.
This kind of discovery is fascinating. Apparently it looks like they had a pretty intricate transportation system. Maybe that made it easier for them to carry out large-scale peaceful activities before the white man showed up. You know, like executing thousands of people at a time.
Amazing
The miracle of human perseverance is amazing. This is simply incredible and wonderful.
Every person who pushed him to campaign is a piece of shit. This is all on them, as he was never anywhere near fit to take on the pressure associated with the job.
These are not serious people. Also, she broke federal law when she deleted that tweet.
Fuck you, Canadian government. We have this little thing here called free speech and won’t be party to your censorship. They better put the video back up.
Did it ever occur to them to just not prosecute people for these crimes in the first place? Also, not reviewing juvenile records is a bad idea if those people were involved in violent crimes. A 19 year old who brutally attacked someone a couple years earlier should not be seriously considered for a job that might put them in tense situations with the public.
One of the good guys.
Good for this guy. It’s his property and he should be able to do what he wants with it, and not be forced to cave to absurd government policies.
This should have happened a long time ago. The concept is laudable, but it’s simply not ready.
LATE ADDITION: I wonder why none of the big outlets are covering this shitshow.
SECOND LATE ADDITION: In a just world, this would be quickly followed by the erection of gibbets all around our capital.
Not all disco was bad. Although this is kind of on the fringe of disco. This one was definitely not disco. And it was a masterpiece. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Friday, dear friends.
whaddup doh’
yo whats goody
I am working from home today so I can give people here some shit, that’s what up!
It’s a bit early. Even for me.
Second meeting of the day in a few minutes. It’s delightful.
With off-shore people? Cause I am not sure if super early unneeded Friday AM meetings are just as bad or worse than super late unneeded Friday meetings.
“Nothing really going on in American sports.”
Seems the XFL starts tomorrow. Im kinda looking forward.
Go Generals!!!!
“This is all on them, as he was never anywhere near fit to take on the pressure associated with the job.”
Maybe they just assumed retards are happy?
What happens to the symbiont of the host dies? Will the lump be put into another body? And if so, will it share the retarded memories with its new host?
I don’t know, but he’s no Jadzia Dax.
Sugar Free already informed me that the Fetters aren’t Trill and that I was a retard for bringing it up.
But he’s not my supervisor, so I’m going with it.
He might be Joran Dax, though…
Perhaps the lump is similar to Londo Mollari’s keeper?
So we need to get him just drunk enough to find out, but not too drunk?
(And as much as I love B5… Sheridan is a goddamn idiot. He saw all that in War Without End and you would think filling in Delenn and Mollari when he got back BEFORE dealing with the Shadows would be Job One so Mollari could be on his guard…. but nooooo… just keep it to yourself and cause 20 years of hell for Centauri Prime, John. Twit.
Maybe the lump is Kuato.

No.

“Also, she broke federal law when she deleted that tweet.”
There is a law against deleting tweets?
Probably some public records thing. Just like it’s unconstitutional for OMB to block people from his personal account.
A Karen? Literally a fucking middle-aged, redheaded Karen? She must have sucked some cock and dumped a buttload of cash into the Biden campaign.
And spread some ass to kinky people too..
In this case, it’s just another useless lifelong bureaucrat who’s never had to be productive to gets promoted.
Now now, who’s to say that having Lizzo decide our foreign policy wouldn’t be an improvement?
HEY! Some of us gingers are cool, and on the right side of history!
Public officials accounts
There’s a law against deleting anything written by an official account. Those are federal records.
So they finally got Trump?
Official accounts delete stuff all the time.
And they break the law in doing so. Just because they’re not punished doesn’t mean it’s not a violation. I’m sure they’ll come along to selectively enforce it when it’s politically expedient.

Whenever I hear about people on Hunger strike, my first thought is “Hunger Strikes are a self-solving problem”.
Are Hunger strikes where people are looking for a Czech mark?
“This kind of discovery is fascinating. Apparently it looks like they had a pretty intricate transportation system. Maybe that made it easier for them to carry out large-scale peaceful activities before the white man showed up. You know, like executing thousands of people at a time.”
I often ask the morons that talk about how the honkey invaders ruined the Americas, how people like Cortez and Pizarro, with a small group of syphilitic people, vanquished large armies of the natives. Undoubtably you will get that bullshit line about how the natives were peaceful, which is easy to dispute. But you should see the reaction when you point out that the real reason these conquistadores won the day was that those “peaceful” civilizations had so brutalized, oppressed, and used their neighbors (especially for them human sacrifices) that said neighbors were happy to work with sick evil honkeys to destroy them.
Well, the Aztecs kept trying to use their finishing move of “hit them in the head” but the Spaniards had that ultratech helmet thingy.
The Spanish sword and buckler men were very effective against Aztecs armed with Macuahuitl due to a longer reach and the sweeping attacks mandated by the design of the obsidian-edged blade left the Aztecs open to a thrust. The swordsmen often bore the brunt of fighting in the cities as a consequence.
As if being a lying piece of shit is an exclusive invention of paleface.
On Tesla self-driving: Government action should not allow or disallow it. Elon should be allowed to develop whatever he wants, and let litigation sort it out.
The car should have to pass a driving test?
Only if it is a turing model. A sedan or coupe would be exempt.
Almost everybody who dunks on FSD/AP has no idea how capable it is vs a regular driver
They think in terms of a binary proposal – if its not 100% perfect in all situations then its a complete failure that should be banned
FSD/AP will absolutely make mistakes a human (usually) will not make – like following the lines on a road into a jersey barrier, braking when confused (humans do this too)
A human will make mistakes FSD/AP will not make – humans get fatigued, they exit their lane without checking, they look away from the road to talk to passengers, the look down at their phone while traffic ahead of it comes to a stop.
Even the most attentive human will at some point make some of these mistakes – 100% focus is impossible – most of the time nothing comes of it, sometimes tragedy happens.
Despite the name of the product being ‘full self driving beta’ or ‘autopilot’ it is made crystal clear “you are the driver and you must pay attention and be prepared to take over at any moment”
Together FSD/AP and a human make a safer driver than the human alone because the computer makes up for human failings – the human makes up for the computer failings.
I don’t have FSD because it was overpriced (IMO) at $7k. Where I live the basic autopilot is more than adequate.
It is very good at keeping a car between lines on a highway, maintaining a safe following distance, slowing for corners, and braking as traffic slows
I can appreciate this, but I don’t even trust my cruise control. I’m mildly pissy I don’t have a manual transmission. Shoot, I can’t deal with my husband, mom, or daughter driving me around, so I do it. I just don’t like not being in control.
During the road trip with my dad, we rented an SUV that happened to have some adaptive ‘drive assist’ features that annoyed the crap out of both of us, because they were tuned to settings that seemed custom-calibrated to frustrate us. Common situation – overtaking a car in the right land with a loiterer in the left. Yes, we’re going to get closer to the car than is strictly ‘safe’. but there is plenty of room, and we’ll be in the other lane in a matter of secon… why is the car putting on the brakes?!
I’m with you on not liking to be a passenger of others.
I especially don’t like to be a passenger of a driver that drives with a nervous look to them. If you look like you are sitting on the edge of your seat while you are driving you don’t look as though you have any confidence and that makes me nervous as a passenger.
Never really felt like it was in full control because you can override any of its actions at any time, and are expected to override as needed, though that is uncommon on the highway.
Manual transmission is the only thing I miss about my old gas car.
Still bummed that you can’t find a half ton truck with a manual but I only drive it towing so not like its a daily driver.
“Every person who pushed him to campaign is a piece of shit. This is all on them, as he was never anywhere near fit to take on the pressure associated with the job.”
When your game is about power and how to use it to keep the serfs down, you do shameful shit like this and don’t even bat an eye when people ask WTF you were thinking.
I think this is all going according to his wife’s plan.
Probably more right than not. Hoping for that age old tradition of sliding the spouse in the spot after incapacitation.
Exactly. Jill Biden is watching with envy. If only she could fill her hubby’s seat once he was declared officially brain dead.
Thinking about that, how bitter would Nancy Pelosi be if a balloon crash took out Joe and Kamala tomorrow?
I knew they would sooner than later try to shift blame to that fucking orange guy!
🙄
I’m on Twitter a little lately, and I have seen “Trump rolled back regulations.” Apparently it’s super easy to remove regulations with an executive order, but in two years Biden hasn’t been able to use the same procedure to add them back. And we all know Biden is very hesitant to use executive orders.
Speaking of Blondie. Watch Clem Burke go.
That might be one of the ten best rock songs of all time. And I’m not exaggerating one bit.
When any of the 50 intelligence fucking scumbags that put out that shit letter dismissing the Hunter laptop as another Russia collusion start trying to pretend that it was the writers of that Politico article that misquoted them, and that they never really meant that conclusion to be made from their letter, someone needs to ask them why the fuck they never challenged the Politico article’s claims as soon as they were made.
Fucking lying scumbags.
I’m surprised they didn’t just go with the Harry Reid defense… “We won, didn’t we?”

Superman is flying around when he spots Wonder Woman butt nekked lying spread eagled on the roof of a building, and decides he is gonna get himself some.. So he swoops in at warp speed, plows that, and then flies off…
Wonder Woman asks “What the fuck was that?” and the Invisible man replies: “I don’t know, but my ass is hurting and burning, call an ambulance”….
Ah ya, that one. Still funny
I am not surprised to see shit like this happening. I used to have “George Orwell’s 1984 was not a ‘How to’ manual, people.” in my profile, and I was asked by my manager to remove it because it had triggered some idiot kids whom looked it up, likely read a synopsis, and felt butthurt because they likely realized it hit too close to home.
But yeah, I get how totalitarian governments would like things that would expose their shit to disappear.
The increasing equating of “white supremacy” with “rational thought” astounds me in that you’d think all the non-white / non-Karens on the left would step back and say… “Waaiiit a minute there!” Talk about insulting.
And yeah… what a shock that politicians at this point might find In the Thick of It hitting too close to home. Of course, they dream that they could get Peter Capaldi to be their fixer.
Tema Okun is the greatest con artist of the age.
The Thick of It is one of the best television programs ever made.
So there is this ebay like site in Romania which seem to add “new and second hand” to whatever item they are selling, because usually both are found. I got an add recently -probably due the the sheepdog youtubes I linked – with sheep new and second hand… what is a second hand sheep as opposed to new?
Ask a Scotsman. He’ll tell you the difference.
Ever been to Wyoming?
Pie refuses to visit America.
I think he fears we won’t be as awful as he expects.
He doesn’t know if he’ll be able to withdraw from foreign blood banks.
And hauling around crates of native soil is a pain.
No one has ever been to Wyoming. No one lives there.
Second hand means the sheep was introduced to the “Unless you push back you are going over a cliff” scenario by someone with a nefarious agenda…
A second hand sheep has been ewes-d before.
Man, this is a baaaaaaaaaahd joke.

What Is a Woman?
I’ll bet we get a good answer to the question…
I am an aircraft carrier because I also believe tat’s what I am….
Why are you fucks not taking ME seriously…
STOP OTHERING/MISGENDERING ME!
I respect what that person is saying. They’re free to live their life however they want. But at the same time, they cannot expect everyone else to accommodate their mindset. The sooner they understand that, the happier they’ll be.
I can respect that they might feel that way. I can’t accept that what they’re really asking for is the complete eradication of meaningful terms / definitions. If “woman” is so malleable because it is whatever a person feels at any given moment… there’s no point to the word at all. Might as well just have “Fluid supposedly-thinking entity”. This is where the TERFs have a pretty damned good point (imho) — if you erase any meaningful distinction between man, woman (and furry or beast eventually), then any considerations of women’s versus men’s needs becomes at the least unlikely.
Right. But you can’t forcibly prevent someone from their own state of mind. You can tell them they’re wrong and prohibit them from imposing their will on others, but you can’t tell them they aren’t free to delude themselves.
Do I believe for a second that’s a woman? Of course not.
Their game isn’t about what they feel, but about forcing you to also give credence to what they feel, no matter how idiotic or out there. It is about getting everyone else to submit.
Sometimes it’s just hard to believe this isn’t all about attention. If you are a transwoman then just be one, and stop trying to assert yourself as a “real” woman.
Why would even try to believe it was about anything other than attention whoring?
And this is the gist of it.
You’re free to be crazy.
I am not required to participate.
“I am a God because I know myself to be a God. I may not have obvious divine powers or immortality, I may not be able to control your lives or creation, but that can not and should not dictate my divinity or experience with Godhood. The definition of “God” is found within me and within every person who identifies as a (lesser) God, and the meaning I place upon that word with what I decide it to be. No worship me, pathetic worms!”
One is pushed to be celebrated… the other would (probably) still be recognized as insanity… Clown. World.
This.
We don’t affirm someone’s schizophrenia, why are we affirming gender delusions?
At some point, a word with a walking, changing, growing definition has no meaning at all.
Dammit… or what RC Dean said with much more brevity. Maybe we need a follow on article series to “Stoicism” on “Brevity” for those of us cursed with loquaciousness.
Eh, it would never reach the word count.
Fine, but don’t demand that others act as if the meaning you place on the word is the one society has to follow. Call yourself whatever you want, but if you’ve got a dick dangling between your legs, use the men’s room.

@planetcommunism
Should life time smokers diagnosed with lung cancer be able to sue Hollywood for the over glorification of smoking cigarettes?
https://twitter.com/planetcommunism/status/1626498598421790720
No.
Should morbidly obese people with diabetes be able to sue the body positive/healthy at any weight movement for the overglorification of stuffing your pie hole?
No.
No matter how much I hate those clowns.
since morbidly obese people are beautiful and perfectly healthy, why would they sue.
The increased rates of death, illness, and lethargy.
That’s caused by people that refuse to see their beauty..
Death by the mid 40s is just the price you pay for that kind of beauty.
But should they be able to sue the Federal Government for the food dodecahedron (or whatever shape they are using these days)?
No.

The lesbians who feel pressured to have sex and relationships with trans women
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-57853385
“Jennie is a lesbian woman. She says she is only sexually attracted to women who are biologically female and have vaginas. She therefore only has sex and relationships with women who are biologically female.
Jennie doesn’t think this should be controversial, but not everyone agrees. She has been described as transphobic, a genital fetishist, a pervert and a “terf” – a trans exclusionary radical feminist.
..
One of the lesbian women I spoke to, 24-year-old Amy*, told me she experienced verbal abuse from her own girlfriend, a bisexual woman who wanted them to have a threesome with a trans woman.
When Amy explained her reasons for not wanting to, her girlfriend became angry.”
Honestly this has to be an exaggeration… No one pressures a lesbian to have sex with a woman she does not like, so how would there be pressure for a trans woman? Or is refusing sex not a thing for lesbians.
Also if a man asks the wife to have a threesome with him and another woman and she says no, is she homophobic? The other way does not count because a devil’s threesome is just wrong.
At first I thought “She should tell them to fuck off”… but that’s what they want, after all.
“genital fetishist”
That’s a new one.
Nah. It’s been around a little while.
Penisphobic?
POWER TO THE PATRIARCHY!
“a genital fetishist“
I think the word “fetishist” is also losing meaning.
Transgenderism is fundamentally incompatible with homosexuality. If you fully buy into the trans lunacy, you deny that homosexuals exist.
This is where women need to take a lesson from conservatives. Rather than being worried about how others might react to you being called a TERF, embrace it.
“You don’t want to fuck a man in a dress because you’re a TERF!”
“Yep. Now fuck off.”
Cuck.

Commenting on two comments from yesterday afternoon links that I just saw now:
“More expensive upperclass twits” was poorly written. It didn’t mean “more expensive” it meant “an additional line of…”
I went to public school, so you can’t expect much from me.
But also, I was totally surprised that Louisville Collegiate charged more than Kentucky Country Day.
public school in the English sense? Like Eton?
No, in the US sense, like government school.
I did go to private kindergarten. But it was state schools from 1 thru grad school.
But did you got to public school when they were still mostly academic instead of indoctrination?
1727?
But seriously, and related, I graduated HS in 1987. My senior year english and humanities teacher (I had those in back-to-back periods too) was a lesbian. Everyone knew it, her “partner” sometimes showed up with her at events. But she never mentioned it. She didnt try to hide it, but it never came up in class or out. There was never a discussion about gay rights or anything like that. Everyone knew about it and NO ONE GAVE A DAMN.
I knew little about my teachers because they didn’t talk about themselves. They also didn’t decorate classrooms to push their causes.
Yes, one of the more bizarre arguments lately stemming from the Florida law has been the people who insist that their teachers always shared a lot of information about their personal lives. I knew virtually nothing about my teachers away from school, other than one math teacher. His son in law was Jay Schroeder, and we’d give him a ton of shit on Monday morning if the Raiders had lost the day before.
My current teens have had only one teacher that decided to talk about personal life and that was because she was just diagnosed with cancer and would no longer be their teacher. I have asked them extensively if teachers go on about personal lives beyond hobbies. Most just talk about their love of baseball and wrestling…wait…shit
Likewise. I couldn’t have told you five things about most of my teachers’ lives outside of school. Now and then you’d find out something, like their daughter got married, and be reminded they had lives outside of the school.
Thinking of it, it is the down-stream effect of the whole “my mom/dad is my best friend” thing that parents imparted on their kids rather than establishing that clear line of parent/child role. They have now entered into adulthood and this has creeped into schools where there should be professionalism and clear teacher/student boundaries.
As a victim of public school from k-12, I can say that it doesn’t matter when the quality of the instruction was lacking.
When you have a crappy teacher who talks about hobbies, it just ends up making you hate those hobbies for the rest of your life.
I guess she’s channeling Serleena from Men in Black II: “Anyone could take over the place with the right set of mammary glands”. None of the male Glibs can from memory (without Google) state any political position of hers, but they all wood/would.

Well it would be pretty gauche if it bothered him considering it’s your job.

Exactly. It’s not the speculation or investment that bothers me, but the inevitable handout that follows.

Microsoft back in 2014ish snitched and I received a call, via my mom, from a detective in Alabama that said they got called from MS they thought my child was ‘in danger’ because I demanded to ask who he was playing online with. Seriously. Detective was super cool and said “your mom cleared it all up” I said, “I really wish she didn’t even talk to you.” and the detective said “smart”.
That was the end of it. But these companies are doing it and have been doing it.

Those kids should sue the government for $14. I’m sure some lawyer would take it on a pro bono basis for the notoriety.
$14 + court costs. It costs more than $14 just to file the suit.
It’s happened multiple times. Go class action. Kids get $20. Lawyers get $20 million.
No, we’ve already stipulated pro bono lawyers.
Well, the pro bono is for the legal advice and representation, not the payout.
They’ll work for U2.
Small claims court.
And in response, they will pay the $14 and then the punishment will come. A visit from the most sciency VP to ever live will visit and explain school buses using Venn diagrams and explain how rockets to zoom.

I was always really uncomfortable with Schultz making jokes about her boobs. Comedy is open to everything, yeah yeah, just still hard to live with your principles sometimes when hearing jokes about former North Korean child sex slaves.
I guess I am relieved he actually brought it up to her face and had to discuss it with her, and she seems cool with it.

I do not think I ever was really uncomfortable with any standup comedian. But my taste does lean towards extra edgy to the point of crossing the lines.
So what you are looking for is a dude that will yank their crank behind a bush while harassing the ladies?
What’s that guy’s name again? They canceled him for a while but he’s making a comeback..

Seen him last year in Bucharest
That dude doesn’t cross lines, really.

Still, experts stress that vaccination is the preferable route to immunity, given the risks of Covid, particularly in unvaccinated people.
Of course they do. Natural immunity never bought anybody a new Jaguar.
Uh, the bigger issue was plenty of people already had natural immunity and were still pressured into getting vaccinated “just because”
Why would you take the risk of natural immunity instead of the risk of vaccination?
Fuckery with numbers
You can always tell when they start using words like “might” or “may”.
To date, I know more people that died from the vax than from COVID. According to these asshats, that should be statistically impossible. But I tend to believe my lying eyes.
I might slip and fall off the curb and get hit by a car too.
Why would you take the risk of an experimental shot that is strongly suspected of causing its own health problems, when the alternative is an infection with very little chance of hospitalizing most people?

Sen. John Fetterman has checked himself into the hospital for clinical depression
“After examining John, the doctors at Walter Reed told us that John is getting the care he needs, and will soon be back to himself,” Fetterman’s chief of staff said in a statement.
That ended with the stroke.
he was never anywhere near fit to take on the pressure associated with the job.
He just needs to be a meat puppet to cast the “correct” votes in the Senate.

Now even if I was a billionaire I would not spend that money on that house. It is impressive, but the architecture is not my taste.
Also while I like spacious rooms, am I the only one who thing there is such a thing as a little too much, and it no longer seems cozy or home-like?

One in ten million. But don’t worry. The shots are safe and effective.
A couple of nights ago I watched Mr Topaze.

This entertained me much more than it should have.
Saw that yesterday. Looks like a bad Universal movie set
I just can’t stop laughing about a guy wearing a ghillie suit in the middle of a city, so it has the complete opposite effect it’s intended to have.
OT but I need some technical help. I downloaded the windows 11 iso to put on an empty 128g thumb drive to install on a PC I’m building but it was saying the files were too big when I tried to drag and drop them over (the entire download is around 5g)
How’s the thinb drive formatted? Some filesystems can’t handle individual files over 4gb
If you are using FAT it needs to be exFAT to support files larger than 4 GB.
I need to be exFAT.
All the cool kids are freebasing ozembic.
Interesting, Emulation through Soy PS1 has files that all go under 4G. Once we move on to more modern games I assume the FAT32 standard will have to change. I just had to reformat a 256G card to FAT32 just to accommodate Retro Pie.
It’s exFAT so the 4g limit shouldn’t be an issue
Actually I may have checked the properties of the iso file instead of the thumb drive. I eventually got it on to the USB with Rufus tool though
The live installer didn’t format and prep your thumb drive? Or you going to use your thumb drive and use an iso installer?
The latter? I downloaded the windows iso on my old PC to transfer to the new one with a thumb drive
So no preventive effect and no ameliorative one either. That’s some solid science work there Lou.
The SCIENCE! is malleable.
The researchers detected the vast site within the Mirador-Calakmul Karst Basin of northern Guatemala by using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, a laser mapping system that allows for structures to be detected below the thick tree canopies. The resulting map showed an area composed of 964 settlements broken down into 417 interconnected Mayan cities, towns and villages.
Meh. LIDAR gives you bogus topo.
Wasn’t that the supposed detection of bodies buried in Canadian schools for natives? Yet not a single body has ever been dug up.
No they used ground penetrating radar. LiDAR cannot penetrate the ground and I agree with Rebel here. While it is more effective and accurate on say, land surveying while leveling for a large scale building project, thick tree canopies will present a slew of reflection opportunities to get an accurate detailed topography.
GPR is also bullshit.
We employ a LiDAR weather system, the only one in the nation for Air Traffic Control. It is fantastic for dry weather wind detection and predictive changes.

Jon Smith, a local leader in rural Michigan of America First, a far-right Republican faction that denies the results of the 2020 election, wants to shift the entire party to the right – even if it means short-term losses at the ballot box. “We need to redefine what it means to be a Republican,” he said in an interview.
In pursuit of that aim, Smith and other hardliners deployed armed guards to bar moderate delegates from a county meeting last August, threatening to bring criminal trespassing charges against them, according to an email to the moderates seen by Reuters.
Smith, who is running for party chair in his congressional district, also helped persuade state party officials to exclude moderates from his county from a vote on Saturday to choose the leaders who will steer Michigan Republicans into the 2024 elections.
Far-right Republican groups are making inroads across the state, according to Reuters’ interviews with two dozen party leaders, grassroots members and political experts, sidelining moderate voices, risking relationships with major donors and complicating the state party’s efforts to rebuild after their worst election results since 1984.
“Moderate” Republicans. Won’t someone stand up for them?

Uffda. Still no baby formula and the press doesn’t seem to care.
The proggie site this came from is focused on the racism that makes baby formula shortages much, much worse for minorities. My guess is that if OMB was still in the Oval Office, this story would have been written much differently.
It is so unfair that minority women don’t have access to formula. Totes racism that white women are keeping that new fangled breast feeding thing a secret.
Low-income families and “parents of color” could consider trying to be not poor. Instead of the classism the left keeps pushing. Yeah, crazy talk.
And nary a word that the whole fucking shortage is contrived because of a dispute about labeling between the bureaucrats of American and the bureaucrats of the EU. Stupid ignorant opinionated shitbag progressives.
Oh cut it out. I couldn’t breastfeed because my milk never came in and if I had to work outside the home, I wouldn’t be able to do it anyway.
There are legitimate hardships there, just as there are with getting birth control.
I could rant. I won’t. You’re welcome.
My wife’s milk never really came in either. She’d be lucky to be able to pump out 1/2 a bottle in a 24 hour period, and when she breastfed, it was little more than a few drops. It was so bad, and we hadn’t yet realized the problem, that when our oldest was 2 days out of the hospital, we were told to feed him water because he was severely dehydrated and had lost about 10% of his weight since birth.
I’d offer that bitch a quarter, but pay phones don’t exist anymore.

Trouble down on the plantation
The top editor of The New York Times warned the newspaper’s journalists who have voiced displeasure with the outlet’s coverage of transgender people and issues that such public criticism will “not be tolerated.”
In a memo to staff on Thursday obtained by The Hill, executive editor Joe Kahn said the Times “received a letter delivered by GLAAD, an advocacy group, criticizing coverage in The Times of transgender issues.”
“It is not unusual for outside groups to critique our coverage or to rally supporters to seek to influence our journalism. In this case, however, members of our staff and contributors to The Times joined the effort. Their protest letter included direct attacks on several of our colleagues, singling them out by name,” Kahn wrote. “Participation in such a campaign is against the letter and spirit of our ethics policy. That policy prohibits our journalists from aligning themselves with advocacy groups and joining protest actions on matters of public policy. We also have a clear policy prohibiting Times journalists from attacking one another’s journalism publicly or signaling their support for such attacks.”
More than 200 New York Times contributors past and present earlier this week penned an open letter to the newspaper, criticizing its coverage of transgender issues, saying it has been cited to justify criminalizing gender-affirming health care by lawmakers.
The letter specifically takes issue with a Times story from last June that uses the term “patient zero” to refer to a transgender young person seeking gender-affirming care, which the signatories say is “a phrase that vilifies transness as a disease to be feared.”
“The newspaper’s editorial guidelines demand that reporters ‘preserve a professional detachment, free of any whiff of bias’ when cultivating their sources, remaining ‘sensitive that personal relationships with news sources can erode into favoritism, in fact or appearance,’” the letter, whose signatories included journalists from other publications, including The Hill, reads. “Yet the Times has in recent years treated gender diversity with an eerily familiar mix of pseudoscience and euphemistic, charged language, while publishing reporting on trans children that omits relevant information about its sources.”
The fleas want to run the circus.
All these linguistic semaphore signals make it difficult to know who’s saying what.
Needless to say, I don’t particularly give a shit, other than hoping they all die horribly.
And then the NYT went and published an op-ed defending Rowling. I’m surprised we didn’t hear the RHEEEEEEing all the way out here in PA.
This is the first time I can the NYT deserving some level of praise for journalistic integrity. Good for them.

Labor Secretary Marty Walsh confirmed Thursday he will leave his position in the Biden administration in March and assume the role of executive director for the National Hockey League Players’ Association, the sports union announced.
Walsh’s exit marks the first Cabinet secretary departure of Joe Biden’s presidency.
“Earlier this week I met with @POTUS and he accepted that my time as Labor Secretary will conclude mid-March,” Walsh tweeted. “As a second-generation card-carrying union member, serving as your Secretary of Labor in the most pro-worker administration in our history is an immense privilege.”
He’ll whip those misogynist trandphobian Gaia-haters the NHL into line.
serving as your Secretary of Labor in the most pro-worker administration in our history…really?
Never thought I’d see the NHL commit seppuku but they look bound and determined to follow the NFL’s lead.
