  1. You saw Mondale’s son reading a eulogy penned by his late father.
  2. Morning. The data from 2019 and the data from 2022. 2020 and 2021 show the Covid spike. ”Among Hispanic women, the rate of women dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after increased from 14.5 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2019 to 18.9 in 2022. Rates among white women nearly doubled — from 20 per 100,000 to 39.1. And Black women, who historically have higher chances of dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after, saw their rates go from 31.6 to 43.6 per 100,000 live births.”
  3. Nah. I’ll watch a movie with my wife, and then go to bed. You have the genuine curiosity. I’m pissed maternal mortality has spiked. Edit: However, the ban on abortion: “Went into effect on August 25, 2022, 30 days after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade. This law makes no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.”
  4. From the link in the NBC article: ”While maternal mortality spiked overall during the pandemic, women dying while pregnant or during childbirth rose consistently in Texas following the state’s ban on abortion, according to the Gender Equity Policy Institute.”
  5. No. Increase in maternal deaths year to year is pretty simple. Your beef is with the conclusions, reported by NBC, and claimed by the Gender Equality Research Institute, which attribute Texas’ quintupling the national average of maternal mortality to anti choice laws. Claims which I think I described accurately. The data GERI used to make their claim was from the CDC. But, go ahead, and make your own claim, based on data which is designed by law to be opaque.
  6. The data is from the last link I posted. Your question is the reason for propublica’s release cited in my post #6237. Texas law forbids review of data from maternal death that is considered abortion related. Another example of Rs fucking up government, in order to “prove” government doesn’t work. But, maternal death, in raw numbers, doesn’t require statistical analysis to fact check. Algebra works just fine.
  7. From here, I presume. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/maternal-mortality/2021/maternal-mortality-rates-2021.htm
  8. Tax wealth, in addition to income. Borrowing money backed by stock? Only if taxes were paid in the acquisition of that stock. Inheriting stock valued in excess of seven figures? Tax that wealth, to create the new baseline.
  9. Not only misinformation, but whole scale information siloing, is a primary reason turnip won this election. Just saying.
  10. I think the canal would be relatively easy to take out of commission, if war is afoot.
  11. The Great Lakes.
  12. I saw video from a burning man event, the one where a roller coaster’s worth of 2x4s were tumble nailed into a form the size of an opera house. There were fire tornados spinning off that fire, too.
  13. Well, that is part of the Hitler worship deal.
  14. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
  15. Garland proved feckless protecting the Constitution, as an insurrectionist about to assume office, without the required supermajority of congressional votes, proves. Release the report. Arm the citizenry with facts.
  16. Unhinged CR rant in “minifestos” of Vegas’ suicide found at link. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-are-publications-sugar-coating-livilsbergers-political-minifestos
  17. Follow up post on her substack, thanking folks for their support. Including fellow cartoonists, several of whose cartoons were published. Here’s one by Barry Blitt. Go to the link to view the others. https://anntelnaes.substack.com/p/with-gratitude
  18. I think there was discussion about posts being culled from the thread about the guy who took a couple of shots, killing a spectator, at a turnip rally. I, too, am unaware of a whole thread being nixed.
  19. Outside influence deserves a mention in the election analysis.
