Donald Trump Is Still Banned on Facebook (but Maybe Only for Six More Months)
On Wednesday, Facebook’s independent Oversight Board upheld the company’s Jan. 7 decision to block former President Donald Trump from posting content to his Facebook and Instagram pages. At the same time, the board said that Facebook’s move to “impose the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension” was inappropriate and insisted that the company review the case to come up with a proportionate response. In effect, the board validated the initial decision to restrict Trump’s account but put the ball back into Facebook’s court for determining whether he should be permanently kept off the platform.
The board stated, “In applying a vague, standardless penalty and then referring this case to the Board to resolve, Facebook seeks to avoid its responsibilities. The Board declines Facebook’s request and insists that Facebook apply and justify a defined penalty.” It further demanded that Facebook come up with this clearer penalty within six months.
Why does Donald even want to get back on Facebook? Why hasn’t he taken over Rush Limbaugh’s radio show? How about a nightly news hour on Fox News where he yells at the headlines of the day? Fuck Facebook. Move on, Donald, move on.

Federal judge vacates CDC’s eviction moratorium
A federal judge on Wednesday vacated a nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place by federal health officials to help cash-strapped renters remain in their homes during the pandemic.
The ruling was a win for a coalition of property owners and realtors, who brought one of several challenges against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) eviction moratorium, which was first enacted under former President Trump and later extended through June.
In a 20-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich, who was appointed by Trump, ruled that the agency exceeded its authority with the temporary ban.
“The question for the Court is a narrow one: Does the Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium? It does not,” Friedrich wrote.
It took this long to say the CDC doesn’t have the power to freeze evictions. Fucking idiot jerk-offs.
DEFUND THE CDC. Turn the building into a laser tag arena.
Something different musically. I don’t like many of the music breakdown videos on YouTube, but this guy is the least annoying. And I had no idea this song I had been listening to since I was a teen was so complex.
And if you are just in it for the song:
It’s time to just burn it all.
It’s worse than you thought. The doll doubles as a dildo (although technically, anything can double as a dildo if you’re brave/stupid enough).
Relevant.
Lol. Yes it is. That reminds me of chapter in one of Howard Stern’s books in which he describes objects doctors have had to remove from rectum.
Damn near kilt ’em!
“The doll doubles as a dildo…”
I have the strangest sense of deja vu…
Just ask anyone that works in an ER for any length of time. My ex-wife would come home with horrendous stories about self-pleasure gone very, very wrong.
I had a biology teacher who’d worked as an EMT and had some stories to tell.
She said the best part was the high number of explanations beginning with “I slipped in the shower and…”
“It was a million to one shot, doc!”
“If you meet a proctologist at a party, don’t go anywhere. Plant yourself there, and you’ll hear the funniest stories you’ve ever heard!”

I think the whole point would be to create a pain in the ass.
I’ve thought about doing some photo diorama collages with those dolls. Several problems: First, I’d be financially supporting the proggie scum who make those dolls. Second, I don’t want the FBI knocking on either my door, or the door of Glib HQ. Third, these are barbie-scale figures and I’m having trouble finding other things at that scale that I’d want to include, ie heavy equipment.

Throw in a Subaru, and you have a real winner there.
Find me a barbie-scale Subaru and we’ll talk.
Does that Barbie wear flannel?
I doubt you’ll find 1:6 scale vehicle, besides what Barbie and GI Joe already drive. Maybe have UCS or Yusef make you one?
I could use different scale vehicles, but that would involve a lot of greenscreening, rotoscoping and stuff. That’s a lot of freaking work, and would require software I don’t have. This is more of an aspiration than an actual project.

It was the one with the dog, wasn’t it.
My mom hated stores about dogs, because “they always die in the end.”
She preferred horse stories.
Because shooting the horse at the end was less traumatic?
The yeller horses make the best glue. Mom’s know this.
What horse stories end like that? Don’t they end with the horse winning some big race?
I just figured any story starring an animal ended that way.
I blame wishful thinking after having been forced to endure Johnathan Livingston Seagull.
Wait, you mean “Seabiscuit” doesn’t end with the horse going rabid and having to be put down?
I saw one of those RBG dolls at a swank but woke toy shoppe near where I work. I was gratified to see that toy shop go under in the ensuing couple of weeks.
Seriously, before Ginsburg kicked it, how many of her present-day worshippers could have even told you who she was? She was a fairly unremarkable justice. And she dissed the US Constitution when visiting South Africa. How can you be expected to ensure constitutionality of a law when you are on record criticizing the constitution?
I’ve even heard some young liberals say RBG was the first female SC justice.
Maybe Sandra Day O’Connor didn’t identify as a woman??
Well Sandra Day O’Conner doesn’t qualify in their minds as a woman, just as Clarence Thomas isn’t truly a black. (See also Amy Coney Barrett.)
Holding “wrong views” and having the wrong President nominating them strips them of whatever identity they had and recasts them as “white men”. It is science!
“Notional whiteness.”
I was talking with a Prog friend a few days ago. She had never heard of Kelo. I explained it to her.
“But… that’s outrageous!”
Yes, read Clarence Thomas’s wonderful dissent. “RBG joined the majority opinion.”
“WHATTTTT? No fucking WAY.”
“Way.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Look it up.”
She’s been very quiet since that conversation.

U.S. backs waiving patent protections for Covid vaccines, citing global health crisis

Pray we don’t alter the deal any further.

The outlay of time, money, and effort was tremendous regardless of what the feeling is about the ultimate product.

It’s only copyrights that have gotten out of hand (at least as far as duration), patents are still fairly reasonable. Copyrights are something like life of the author + 70 years (meaning you’ll never see anything made in your lifetime enter the common domain), but patents are only 20 years. Which is kind of crazy, that stories and songs are valued that much more than inventions.
OK, so I just looked it up, and the original terms were 14 years for patents and 14 years once renewable (for 28 years total) for copyrights. Copyrights have indeed drifted far more from their original intent than patents have. I’d be fine returning to the original terms.
And no software patents.
In return for what?
My guess is liability protection.
Congress gave vaccine makers liability protection in 1986. Wiki “vaccine court”
This was a favorite of mine during my formative years. Somewhere I still have a copy. And, it’s been anthologized.
Nuns on the Run is also fun, but it’s not an erotic nun thriller.
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison has suspense and lust, and two damn fine performances from Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr.
“Nast Habits” is Watergate replayed inside a convent. The script included lines from the Nixon transcripts and you could easily recognize each of the nuns to known Watergate persons. Amusing at the time, but not much as an erotic thriller.

Seriously? Although if somehow managed to lose he would no longer be undefeated.
Keep in mind that Logan Paul is a decent boxer who is almost twenty years younger than Mayweather. Mayweather may be one of the best in recent times, but age takes a toll on everyone.
George Foreman was two years older than Floyd when he won his last title.
And Foreman is also the oldest heavyweight champion in history, so that’s the high bar. Plus, Mayweather doesn’t have a successful grill line to fall back on.
How many of his kids did he name Floyd?
LOL. I forgot about that. George had like a half dozen kids all named George, didn’t he? And then he named the grill after himself, too.

Why Can’t I Stop Thinking About Child-Free Women?On my fourth Mother’s Day, I find myself more drawn than ever to women who decided against having children.
I’m particularly enjoying this new bit a newspeak.
“Admirably child-free women have started finding their way to me on the big and small screen.”
Once again merely acceptance of people’s choices isn’t enough – they need be celebrated!
Admirably child-free women
I’ll take celebrating this over celebrating single mothers, but I’m so over this constant barrage against tradfamily. Mother’s day is not oppressive against the childless. Fuck off.
Mother’s day is not oppressive against the childless
I understand these people. Every day that it’s someone else’s birthday and not mine is oppressive against me.
As opposed to “contemptibly child-free women”? Am I supposed to submit my reasons for being child-free for review and judgment to determine whether they are “admirable,” “despicable,” or “pathetic”? I’m childless largely because we decided we couldn’t afford it. Does that reason pass muster with the self-appointed arbiters of “child-free virtue/vice”?
Am I an admirable, conscientious, progressive-minded bachelor because I decided I don’t want kids or a contemptible incel MGTOW future active shooter because I also decided I don’t want to date?
Wait, what do I care? I’m a man!

Japan should cut its losses and tell the IOC to take its Olympic pillage somewhere else
When Japan was selected I wished my Japanese friends the best of luck and told them to hold tight to their wallets as their pockets were about to be picked.
There was a push to bring the Olympics to Boston a couple years back; thankfully, the population at large responded with a hearty, “fuck, no”.
You’ll be shocked, shocked to learn one of the the primary backers was a large construction firm.
No… How surprising. I’m sure all the construction related unions we A-OK too.
At the time I used to live in Andrew Square–a short walk from the place where the Olympic stadium was planned to be built. Some of my neighbors totally wanted the Olympics and dreamt how much they would charge to rent their “luxury condos”. Yes, they were willing to move out for 3 weeks.
Were you around for the DNC? What a shitshow that was. The Olympics would have been that times 20.
Boston is way too small for large events like that.
I remember I-93 was supposed to be closed every night of the convention. I lived in Somerville then and even had a car but didn’t go anywhere close to downtown Boston that week.
I lived on Beacon Hill at the time and had difficulty even _walking_ home.
Plus my usual bars were chock full of assholes (moreso than usual).
Remember when Obama couldn’t bring home the Olympics to Chicago? I knew a lot of people there who were dreading the thought of having to deal with the games coming there.
This is not a secret, nor is the corruption of the IOC a secret. No one is being “misled”, rather they are allowing themselves to be “misled”, or doing it for national prestige, damn the costs.

Did it rip your heart out to sell that Aztek?
I wish now we had not gotten rid of it. It had some mechanical problem and we sold it to the mechanic for like $500. I don’t even remember what needed fixing.
Resolved: The Pontiac Aztek was the Demi Rose of automobiles.

Regardless it will never fit in my garage so it would be relegate outside. On the plus side the stainless body would end the Tesla paint quality issues. People criticize the blocky shape, but it was done because of the steel selected and ease of manufacture.

What up? So, I’d like to mix up my cardio a bit – and hopefully lowish impact on my knees. There’s a heavy bag in one corner of the base gym and I don’t think it’s gotten a lot of use. Is it something I could try messing around with without any prior boxing experience? I watched this video, which seems to have some decent suggestions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnbZet58HOc&t=247s
I don’t have boxing gloves, but I do have weight lifting gloves – normal fingerless ones as well as the type that have the long wrist strap. Would it be advisable to wear either of those or just bare knuckle it?
Any other exercise tips or suggestions for things I might be able to do with a heavy bag?
Yes. Box. Learn the moves on youtube. It’s good cardio if you do two-minute high-impact intervals. Don’t go punching it bare-knuckled or with weighlifting gloves. Get some boxing gloves and wraps. They’re not that expensive. The wraps were essential for me as I was negatively impacting my wrists.
A – Get a set of bag gloves and wrist wraps.
B – Wrap wrists if you’re actually going to punch a heavy bag with intent
C – Rounds of one minute on the heavy bag, one minute rest. Try 5 to start. No standing there staring at the bag, either; punch for the whole minute.
(If you don’t know how to actually jab, cross, hook, then spend some time learning and start easy on the bag. Learn how to use your hips to generate punching power. All human effort at generating power begin in the hips and radiate outward, from a golf swing to a punch or throwing a pitch).
Peter Hook is amazing, but I’ve got to give it up for the underappreciated Gillian Gilbert.

Well, duh. It’s just that Hook gets a lot of love. Maybe I didn’t need the ‘but’

Chicken wing shortage. *facepalm*
I know the bbq guy was complaining a couple weeks ago about rising costs.
The fuckers have no idea what they have done with supply lines and the labor pool over the past year for even ordinary products. At least we don’t have inflation though. That would totally screw us.
There are two lumber mills near Mom’s house in Montana. Both of them have bunks and bunks of lumber wrapped up and ready to go. So much on hand that I’m told that they are temporarily not buying any more trees. Also there are at least two dozen trains going thru town every day with scores of cars carrying lumber, yet prices have soared, supposedly because of supply shortages. I’m not sure where the bottleneck is but it sure isn’t at the production end.
Sounds like someone downstream isn’t buying.
People not being allowed to work? Worker capacity limits preventing full production?
I was initially blaming it on delayed reaction from Trumps tariff fight with Canada. But then remembered we now have the “bestest ever” free trade agreement with the frozen ones as well as Mexico. Now I don’t know. I read some story I didn’t believe stating the price rise was due to lack of labor at mills and reduced production. My best guess is it is the supply lines are just still fucked from being fucked with for over a year. I assume that is not a switch you can just turn back on. The things that were are not there, the things that will be there are not there yet. It’s like a distributor cap twisted a quarter turn.
Mills?
OK, that was stupid. I was thinking unfinished lumber, but you said lumber mills.
If there is a chicken wing shortage, is there not a shortage in all other chicken parts?
My guess would be into the grinder for dog food. Dog food is big bizness and takes less time. And word on the street is there is a labor shortage for some unforeseen reason.

We almost got a chance at getting Feres thrown out.
So only Thomas was interested in governmental accountability?
I’m so shocked.
Yeah, looks like it’s not the first time he’s written re: Feres and the refusal to address it. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20-559/158778/20201026124800518_20-__PetitionForAWritOfCertiorari.pdf
I don’t think in these circumstances they list how justices decide other than if they submit a dissent. The doc above has a selection of somewhat egregious incidents that should not even be covered by Feres but which the courts have avoided letting servicemembers sue the govt using Feres as an excuse.
re: Benedetta
I see Lambert Wilson is in it. He makes a good bad guy.
It’s time to just burn it all.
How many Fauci dolls would it take to make a fire seen from space?
Can we just nuke the original?
Good god. New wave, synth-pop, electronica music may be the second worst musical genre ever.
The music isn’t all that horrible, the video is horrible.
What’s the worst?
Metal.
Ska Punk
Oh, come on.
Those are three different genre.
My iTunes library agrees. (Except I don’t use “electronica” – I don’t even know WTF that is really. I do have multiple other flavors of electronic-adjacent music, though.)

Based on the RSS stinger, I thought THIS would be the song.
I’m not a fan of Donald; he’s screwed up a lot of shit. He has a golden opportunity here. The strongest thing he could do would be publicly state “I don’t know what’s going on at Facebook but I really don’t care. I have no intention of being on the platform regardless of what they say. Join me on __________ [fill in alt-tech platform of choice]”
For all his and his fans’ bloviating about how smart he is, I doubt this will happen. His response to being challenged is more “petulant third grader will call you names” than “Cartman killing your parents and making you eat them in chili”.
But time will tell.
