We’re starting our mad preparations for Thanksgiving. This year, we’re doing a dinner for 25, including people with every possible food sensitivity ever fretted about in People magazine. Looking at the various Venn diagrams of the restrictions, we think we may be able to serve water. Maybe. Vegans, nut allergies, fungus allergies, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance… this is one damaged group of people.
Speaking of which, an item in the news has most of our staff in a lather. “I’m just not able to COPE today, this is so upsetting!” Again, proof that the world is filled with assault, oppression, discrimination! Doubly upsetting was that our snowiest snowflake knows the accused assaulter. “Look, it’s important to me that when people come forward with accusations, we listen to them and believe them… but she is so awesome, and that’s making it really difficult. I just don’t know what to think!” followed by uncontrollable sobbing. I nodded sympathetically so I don’t find myself without a staff and a café being picketed. Cynical bastards like SP and me immediately think, cui bono? Follow the money to get to the truth. And consider plausibility. Not to mention where this sort of thing falls on the Major Damage To My Life scale.
These kids cannot. My greatest hope is that a couple of them will eventually get it. Eventually.
And eventually, there’s birthdays. Today’s include a guy who saved and destroyed a sport; a purveyor of good vibes; a politician who was way ahead of his time; a guy who Bernie Sanders could only wish to be; a guy who understood the consequences of a recession; the inventor of the Apple watch; a deeply weird guy who taught us how to speak; an interesting actress who birthed one of the hottest daughters in history; a candidate for the most evil and damaging politician in US history; an example of what happens when a prosecutor goes a little funny in the head; the subject of the absolutely geekiest joke I know; the reason I still have some respect and regard for Palestinians; a guy who’s kissed more old ladies than Max Bialystock; a guy who endeared himself to Nixon; a guy who makes Chauncy Gardener look like Christopher Hitchens; one of the Alou Brothers of comedy; not just a one hit wonder, a one riff wonder; a guy whose bike you don’t want to ride in the back; the best character on The Drew Carey Show; the best character on The Hat And The Hair; and the archetype of “hot and crazy”.

a candidate for the most evil and damaging politician in US history;
“by the early 2000s, he had completely renounced racism and segregation, ” – how very progressive
Yeah — I still think Wilson left all challengers in the dust on that one. Foisted the nucleus of the Progressive state upon us, set back race relations at least another generation — AND screwed up world politics because he had delusions of being The Great Statesman. (Yes, I think WW1 would have ground to a halt with a more negotiated peace after Russia dropped out if the US didn’t jump in — even better if we had stood up for our neutrality and defied Britain’s food embargo of Germany. The Kaiser was a narcissistic twit, but he wasn’t the evil force the propaganda pitched him as.)
Wilson was the most evil on a per year basis, but Byrd kept it going for many decades instead of stroking out.

If we privatized Rushmore, we could have a roller coaster coming out of Washington’s mouth. Much more fun.
Since Kennesaw Mountain was in the links, I wonder what it would look like when privatized. Oh yeah, shitty little condos everywhere looking down on the filth of Atlanta. No thank you. This is one of parts where I have to leave the libertarian plantation.
But then the Government didn’t stop Rushmore.
Too true. They didn’t stop Stone Mountain either.
Does anyone go to Kennesaw Mtn when the park is open? I have been a number of times, but only late at night.
Really? They are a dawn to dusk park. The lots are full daily when then weather is good. I drive past the visitor center on work days.

A female classmate identified as A.G. overheard them and allegedly chimed in, “There are more than two genders!” A.G. is neither transgender nor nonbinary but believes in gender fluidity, the suit says.
A.G. later obtained M.G.’s phone number, and the pair had a contentious exchange, the papers allege.
“Gender and sex mean the same thing,” he wrote her. “There are only two genders and sexes.”
She insisted that gender is different from the biological sex one is assigned at birth. “Your [sic] in high school you should know this,” she shot back.
“I also know that ur a bozo,” he replied. “Just stfu and leave me alone,” he wrote, according to the lawsuit.

History was nade
Biden briefly transfers power to Harris, making her the 1st woman in U.S. history to hold powers of the presidency
——-
After her historic 85-minute stint, Harris traveled from Washington, D.C., to Columbus, Ohio, where she was scheduled to give remarks promoting the bipartisan infrastructure deal that Biden signed into law earlier this week
“As a woman myself I will note that the president, when he selected her to be his running mate, obviously he knew he was making history, making history that was long overdue,” Psaki said of Harris, the nation’s first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president. “And part of that was selecting someone who could serve by your side as your partner but also step in if there was a reason to and that includes the application of the 25th Amendment that was done this morning.
“She makes history every day,” Psaki added. “But certainly today was another chapter in that history. And I think that will be noted for many women [and] young girls across the country.”
“Hey, hold the wheel while I scratch my balls, wouldja? Try not to hit anything.”

I’ve seen viral videos of innocent Black men losing their lives because of this stereotype. I’ve watched White people lock their car doors or clutch their purses when men who look like me approach. I’ve been racially profiled.
Believe it or not, not all black men are perceived as a threat. It’s mostly just the ones who present themselves as such.

This angry White man has been a major character throughout US history. He gave the country slavery, the slaughter of Native Americans, and Jim Crow laws. His anger also helped fuel the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
It’s this angry White man — not the Black or brown man you see approaching on the street at night — who poses the most dangerous threat to democracy in America.
That’s a sweeping claim. But these trials represent something bigger than questions of individual guilt or innocence. They offer a disturbing vision of the future, and a choice about what kind of country we want to live in.
The facts of the trials are well known to many Americans.
But not to you, evidently.

Ijeoma Oluo, author of “Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America,” wrote that she lives with the constant fear that angry White men will turn violent toward her and “countless other black people, brown people, disabled people, queer people, trans people, and women of every demographic.”
White male anger could prove to be one of the biggest roadblocks we face in building a successful multiracial democracy.

She might actually have seen white male anger in the past but I suspect it would have been reactionary. Being accused of things you didn’t do and intentions you don’t have gets old quick.

I fucking hate police unions. I’m negotiating with mine now and these guys are every bit as scummy as you think. They shouldn’t be sweeping floors, much less enforcing law. This shit is making me lose a lot of sleep.
Why are you negotiating with your police union? I thought you are in the military.
The DOD components have civilian police forces that work alongside the various MPs in the US.
They have been pushing to take over police duties from the military for decades.
The military has been going thru phases where bases were more secure/less secure depending on some indescribable reasons.
The military is controlled by civilians in govt per the constitution, but allowing special interest civilian contractors to control military base security is a mistake.
So I totally slacked off Wednesday in anticipation of a relaxed weekend (attending a seminar).
The evening that I imagined would be shopping, dinner, and a quiet hotel room watching Cold Case Files, or something. Maybe a manicure. I nearly never travel by myself, so I was really looking forward to it.
So: I left work early and started making the drive. It rained all the time, got dark out in 20 minutes.
Stopped for snacks at a Flying J – then couldn’t start the car. With zero warning the battery died on me.
Luckily, Flying J can handle this and gave me a jump in moments. In the rain. Turned around and headed home.
Left the next morning at 7am and made it to the conference (not missing a thing). Somewhat boring day hearing family law lectures (snore snore). Happy hour where I get to share drinks with a judge and a few people from law school. Go to the hotel to check in – and – they’ve sold my room without letting me know! Other than attorneys, the hotel is full of hockey families (sigh).
My coworker comes to the rescue so we shared her room (I got the sofa). Make it until 11am – cut out one lecture early to get home to LH and the heir.

Tesla drivers say they have been locked out of their cars after an outage struck the carmaker’s app.
Dozens of owners posted on social media about seeing an error message on the mobile app that was preventing them from connecting to their vehicles.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk personally responded to one complaint from a driver in South Korea, saying on Twitter: “Checking.”
Mr Musk later said the app was coming back online.
The Tesla app is used as a key by drivers to unlock and start their cars.
Owners posted a multitude of complaints online about not being able to use their vehicles.
Making life better, one app at a time.
They come with a NFC card for exactly that reason and it works just fine.
But because it is 1 Tesla and 2 driven by lots of whiny morons of course it will be a BFD.
You aren’t supposed to rely only on the phone key, but it works almost all the time so people do.
In almost three years I’ve used the card key three times.
What about using a key key and an actual kill switch that opens the circuit between the power and all the systems?
ICE cars don’t do that anymore either.
The NFC fob tells the ECU it’s OK to start. The start button module on the CANBus sends an OK to the ECU.
Only difference on the Tesla is this is done with a cellular modem. And all the other manufacturers are now doing the same.
Just because it’s been stupidly abandoned doesn’t mean it’s not what I want.
A car does not need a wireless antenna.
The last thing I want is a car with a network. But as far as I know no new car doesn’t have one.

It’s interesting but needs more info. Does it control for age beyond just under 60 because I’d assume that the unvaxed are disproportionately young and healthy now, IOW people who didn’t need it in the first place.
As always, more granularity would be nice.
By only looking at under 60, they do filter out the (vast?) majority of the population at high risk from COVID.
This is all-cause mortality, so I think the cause/risk of mortality is irrelevant. Data like this, and I don’t think its limited to Britain, shows a need to figure out exactly what the hell is going on. The correlation of 2x risk of dying if you are vaccinated is certainly suggestive of the vaccine as a contributing factor, but correlation blah blah.
One wonders where the precautionary principle people are on all this. Because you would think the vax would be cited as a textbook example of why we should use the precautionary principle. Its almost as though they only trot it out when its convenient to some other cause.
High risk people get vaccinated more. As such vaccine or not they likely have higher mortality.
Yes. Possibly the issue.

Only 2 murders in Chi-town, 66 miles from Kenosha, last night but at least no rioting. Must have been white supremacy what done it. Racism is a helluva drug.
Milwaukie IS right next to Portland.
Until the residents have had enough. Which is never, the ones who care and certainly the ones who are in power are in sympathy if not support of the rioters.
https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2021/11/oregon-portland-officials-react-to-kyle-rittenhouse-not-guilty-verdict.html
State and local politicians express their pro-criminal support and opposition to lawful self defense against rioters.
Even if ordinary rank and file residents got tired of it, the leftist groups have their Sinn Fein elements to support the criminal side. At this point you’d need targeted assassinations to destroy NLG, ACLU, advocacy and activist groups, and social media/”journalists”.
It’s the same thing with the bum problem. Leaving aside the group of people who think that bums squatting on land and shitting all over the place is perfectly acceptable, there’s another group who are so full of compassion that feel government must supply the bums with every desire (food, shelter, drugs, etc) because to enforce neutral laws on acceptable behavior is heartless. Never mind that subsidizing the bum lifestyle is enabling and encouraging it.
Is it Stockholm Syndrome? A misguided attempt to be the last one eaten by the croc? I just don’t get it, most of those officials would be straight up put against the wall if the rioting types got their way.
Take your pick:
Sympathetic to the stated goals of the rioters
Using them for their own political power because that’s what the local politics are
Actual true believers
There’s an almost zero chance any of the politicians will be up against the wall in the current situation. They have armed police and security to prevent that. And they’re blind to how quickly things can go, historically, from some violent street protest to Madame Guillotine.
Similarly, from the media.
TV station soft rolls their personal experience

which has been typical in riots because the tv stations work primarily in video clips, the last thing the rioters want
Meanwhile the local rag has zero stories on last night’s riot up.
Portland looks like a lost cause from the outside. I hope it gets better but it seems like the populace is determined to turn it into Detroit or Baltimore.
The commies in office there, who elected them?
They aren’t ‘putting up with it’. The town is chock full of morons that support it.
I see what you did there with your selections of flora for the opening photo there, OMWC.
?
Are there any documented accounts of an unvaccinated person getting COVID-19, recovering and thus presumably having natural immunity, then catching symptomatic Covid-19 again?
Probably not. I mean there are practically no cases of someone who had covid getting it again.
We don’t track that on purpose.
/s CDC
They also don’t track breakthrough cases at all for reasons that make absolutely no sense.
Shoshanna Weissman deserves a smarter, or at least a less obviously grifting, father.
This is your idiot TruCon party. It’s the knockoff LP party line, which was of course knockoff progressive lite. Condemn the guy because it’s politically useful to be racially divisive. Can you imagine why this guy left the party??
*hesitates, clicks Twitter link*
Yup, still a cesspool.
“If a black guy walked into L.A., killed his white ex-wife and boyfriend, we would have a different verdict.” Ooops.
Looks like Portland was the only city with a riot last night. Which is very good news. I have to wonder, though – I expect most of the rioters are bought in to the leftist narrative that the Rittenhouse verdict will mean mobs of heavily armed white supremacists will be roaming our cities with itchy trigger fingers, looking to hunt down and slaughter righteous protestors. If so, I can see why they decided to stay home.
The Austria article once again buries the lede – no mention of HOW the Austrian government intends to forcibly vaccinate one-third of the population against their will.
Starve ’em out by prohibiting them from leaving their homes for any purpose?
Eugyppius has some more info on that.
I have checked the underlying dataset myself and this graph is correct. Vaccinated people under 60 are twice as likely to die as unvaccinated people. And overall deaths in Britain are running well above normal.
I don’t know how to explain this other than vaccine-caused mortality.
Didn’t the CDC or somebody just come out with a claim that vaccinated people have a LOWER mortality rate overall?
I’m almost tempted to think it’s manipulative bullshit, all the way down.
Probably. Because well off white people are most likely to get the vaccine.
Didn’t the CDC or somebody just come out with a claim that vaccinated people have a LOWER mortality rate overall
All-cause? Over what time frame?
I have this very bad feeling that all you who got the jab drew the short straw.
I will support your vaccinated claims against those that coerced you but you made my unvaxxed life more difficult by giving in.
37 degrees outside. Chili for lunch. Bliss.
I’ll probably eat some of my Ghost Pepper chili I pulled out of the freezer before I go to bed. Made me gassy last time, but I’m always gassy.
One wonders where the precautionary principle people are on all this. Because you would think the vax would be cited as a textbook example of why we should use the precautionary principle. Its almost as though they only trot it out when its convenient to some other cause.
As long as they can keep us from doing things they disapprove of, anything goes.
R C-
Try this
This is a fascinating study that features some really startling data.
Short version: The authors compared mortality rates between 6.4 million people vaccinated against COVID and 4.6 million unvaccinated people, between last December and this July. The really startling part is that, after excluding all COVID-related deaths, the unvaccinated people had mortality rates that were more than triple than those of people who received the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, after adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and study site.
I don’t have the patience or inclination to wade through it.
Nor do the vast majority of people.
Magic potion is magic.
Not sure if they realize this actually undermines the vaccines though. The people who get them are obviously healthier overall.
Yeah, it’s spelled out in their self-critique in the results section. Could be a few other things too.
They’re actually doing it…

LOL.
Well, they should be careful. They’ve had Penny Presses as long as I can remember, and I’m pretty sure it might constitute a federal crime.
Is it illegal to damage or deface coins?
Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who “fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.” This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.
I guess I’m a criminal felon for putting those pennies on the railroad track so many years ago. Hope there’s a statute of limitations.

Healthier? I don’t know about that. Maybe more risk-averse in general.
