  1. @KeysPhoneWallet was here to disagree with that statement. And he’d cry bloody murder if anyone suggested he was a racist for disagreeing.
  2. So on brand. Intellectual honesty is beyond the R shits. We see it here constantly. Some show this moral failing almost immediately. Others over time.
  3. The Georgia Department of Public Health is limiting the availability of several adult vaccines for uninsured patients at local health departments through at least January. The limits apply to most immunizations offered by county health agencies — shots that prevent pathogens like hepatitis A, human papillomavirus, and shingles. Childhood vaccinations are not affected by the change, nor are local supplies of Covid-19 and influenza vaccines, said Cobb and Douglas Public Health Deputy Director of Clinical Operations Lauren Cedor. Through local health agencies like Cobb and Douglas, Georgia’s health department provides vaccines for many uninsured adults at less than $22 — significantly cheaper than an out-of-pocket price of a vaccine like hepatitis B, which GoodRx says has an average retail price of $107. It’s the type of service health experts say is crucial for maintaining a healthy public. https://www.healthbeat.org/atlanta/2024/12/18/vaccine-supply-limited-uninsured-adults-hpv-shingles-hepatitis/
  4. Must have missed the post that pointed out government jobs are a mitigating factor in economic downturns.
  5. The article posted on the coup thread, about how the election was stolen, has some easily proven/disproven benchmarks, which center around “bullet ballots.” Bullet ballots are ballots which record a vote in the presidential race, and no other race. The average bullet ballot rate is around 1%. The claim made was that in each of the swing states, and only in the swing states, the bullet ballot rate was off the charts, and as much as 11% in NC. The bb rate in the other 43 states conformed to the expected 1% rate. Throw in the margin of victory being just above the automatic recount mov in every swing state, and there is a coherent argument that fuckery is afoot. Should be easy to disprove the argument. Show the bullet ballot rates for every state.
  6. Testing embedding https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFDetHNuLT8/ Nope. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFDetHNuLT8/
  7. Doge is close to information on US nukes. “A representative from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was granted access to the Energy Department’s IT system on Wednesday by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, two people with knowledge of the situation told CNN. Wright granted access to DOGE representative Luke Farritor — a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern — even over objections from the department’s general counsel and chief information offices, the people told CNN. The DOE chief information office is the department’s IT and cybersecurity office.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/climate/doge-energy-department-trump/index.html
  8. Chose this thread because the story of a Cessna going missing, over Alaska with ten people aboard, is likely to be a shitshow in the media. Edited to say apparently the plane was in a holding pattern while the runway was being cleared when it fell off the radar. ”CNN — A Cessna plane with 10 people on board has gone missing during a flight in Alaska, according to local and state officials. The plane, operated by Bering Air, was en route from Unalakleet to Nome, both cities in western Alaska separated by the Norton Sound inlet, according to the Alaska State Troopers.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/us/alaska-cessna-bering-air-hnk/index.html
  9. Congratulations, OP!
  10. I’m partial to lemon or mango Italian sorbet.
  11. Instagram video from an American Revolution historian about how his website, funded by the National Endowment of the Humanities, was taken down, scrubbed, then reposted. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDtV7vrOg4D/?igsh=MXJ2cGthdTV3cGl0bg%3D%3D (Would appreciate schooling on posting Instagram videos so that they embed). Fuck the fascist deniers, deflectors, and enablers. UnAmerican fucks.
  12. What the FUCK? ”NEW YORK (AP) — Democrats in suburban New York are suing a Republican county executive over his creation of an armed unit of volunteer residents, saying it amounts to an “illegal, taxpayer-funded civilian militia.” Nassau County Democratic lawmakers argue in their complaint filed Wednesday that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman lacked the legal authority to form a cadre of special sheriff’s deputies with “authority to use deadly force and make arrests under color of law.” https://apnews.com/article/new-york-armed-deputies-nassau-long-island-4708d686358458a3e29aecfa22a18758
  13. Attending private school. Not teaching.
  14. Private school teachers are not having sex with students? Yeah, that doesn’t track from my private school experience. Teachers lap clergy on interaction with children, I think we can agree.
  15. CDC is now barred from releasing public health information. Good thing there isn’t any threat from Black Death. Oh, wait. ”A tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas City has become the largest documented TB outbreak on record in the United States. Data on the outbreak from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) show that 67 active TB cases and 79 latent cases have been reported since the beginning of 2024 in Wyandotte and Johnson counties, which are part of the greater Kansas City area. Most of the cases have been in Wyandotte County. KDHE says it has been working with local health departments in response to the outbreak and is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure patients are receiving proper treatment.” https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis/kansas-tuberculosis-outbreak-now-largest-us https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/hhs-memo-cdc-report-communications-trump-team-rcna188733
  16. I have a Japanese acquaintance who is envious of US innovation and creativity. He claims his society is quick to let outside the box thinkers know the expected way things get done.
  17. Mediabiasfactcheck says this about PlanetCritical: ”Overall, we rate Planet: Critical as Far Left-Biased due to its focus on progressive issues and critiques of systemic structures. We rate its reporting as Mixed, acknowledging that while the information is generally accurate and well-researched, there are instances of unverified claims and one-sided reporting.” Could be better.
  18. If the “bullet ballot” info is correct, then that is compelling evidence.
  19. Leader of the Coast Guard. Three hours to vacate her house. Cruelty is the point. “President Donald Trump's administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident. Fagan, a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military, was removed from her post as the Coast Guard’s top officer on Trump’s second day in office. Officials at the Homeland Security Department — which oversees the Coast Guard — cited border security issues and an “excessive focus” ondiversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-administration-evicts-former-coast-guard-linda-fagan-3-hours-rcna190820
