No.  I'm done with that shit.  It's time for social chemotherapy.  Brutal, devastating chemo....because the only language assholes speak is pain.  So, let the universe speak to them in a way they understand.  If what it takes to get the assholes to grasp that maybe, just maybe, we live in a society and our actions impact other people, so maybe we perhaps might ought consider the impact on other people before we act, is the death of their children?  We crossed that rubicon a LONG time ago.  They are HAPPY to have dead kids stack up....so long as they are the kids of "the other."  Let the pain and awful loss bring itself home.

Empathy is dead.  Coercion by pain is the only force in the universe with any remaining power.  

I didn't make these rules.  I think they are insanely stupid and cruel.  But they are now engraved in stone.  Pretending they aren't is lying to yourself.

I mean, if this is what it takes to overcome the programming that these dumbfuck parents inevitably put their kids through, I'm on board.  If this outbreak gets widespread enough, I'm down with buying some airtime in a couple of years just to say - "Remember that time you almost died from the measles?  That's because your parents are in a cult, utterly incompetent and/or don't give a shit about you.  Probably all three.  Don't be like your parents.  Read a book. No, not that one - a real book."

Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) has a warning for veterans: you'll have to "contribute" to society if you need food assistance.

So I guess fighting for your country and maybe taking a few bullets, or maybe losing a limb is not a big enough contribution to society. Apparently one must still slave in order to be compensated by the very government that is responsible for your condition, you must work regardless of your physical or mental stability.

Republicans are flat out the most vile psychotic assholes on the planet. Why veterans support this piece of shit party is beyond me.

FOX 7 had a news story about measles vaccination rates, which included a chart to data from Texas DHS that allows you to search by school district. I sense a trend among the lowest rates of vaccination against measles. You can find the full chart here. https://infogram.com/mmr-vaccinations-1h1749wny3mdq2z?live

At least when these kids get sick, the parents won’t be demanding the best care on earth at subsidized rates. Right?  They’ll accept what they can personally pay for. Right?

 

and as good Christians, they certainly wouldn’t run up an enormous bill and then stiff the hospital that cared for their little miracle

That Texas could be so big and so backward, is disgusting:

https://www.texastribune.org/2025/02/28/texas-measles-abbott-lawmakers-response/

State and local health officials are setting up vaccine clinics and encouraging people to get the shot, which is more than 97% effective at warding off measles.

But neither Gov. Greg Abbott nor lawmakers from the hardest hit areas have addressed the outbreak publicly in press conferences, social media posts or public calls for people to consider getting vaccinated. State and local authorities in West Texas have not yet enacted more significant measures that other places have adopted during outbreaks, like excluding unvaccinated students from school before they are exposed, or enforcing quarantine after exposure.

The response to Texas’ first major public health crisis since COVID is being shaped by the long-term consequences of the pandemic, experts say — stronger vaccine hesitancy, decreased trust in science and authorities, and an unwillingness from politicians to aggressively push public health measures like vaccination and quarantine.

I'm grateful that the people I care about also care about science and the well-being of their kids, so I don't think this will affect anyone I know personally. but it's gonna fuck up a lot of lives and it was preventable.


Well, the MMR vaccine efficacy against measles is 97%, so if this shows up in schools, you could expect about 1 in 33 vaccinated kids to get measles. So the selfish and/or ignorant anti-vax crowd is hurting more than just their own family, and even some normal responsible people will suffer.

This is why vaccination for yourself and community vaccination rates of 95% or more are needed to ensure EVERYONE is safe, individual immunity plus community immunity requires cooperation among all people - fuck that noise ….

That dude Bo French is a real grade A piece of shit, so much so that even more "reasonable" Texas republicans have had issues with some of the dumbass shit he says like this...

 

At this point, I'm at the FAFO place with stuff like this, why not let them try and have Tarrant County 100% red and see who they can figure out to blame when things go wrong. Already slowly starting to happen at the State level when R's have been in control for so long they are running out of people to blame for things like schools not all being excellent and property taxes not being out of control, etc. Its starting with calling any republican who isn't straight 100% MAGA a "RINO" that must be primaried and voted out... but what happens then when there are still shitty schools and property taxes are still outta control?

Spot on. Once Reagan and Falwell got on the stage together .... I and several UT friends knew big trouble was coming if the fanatics ever got total power. Now they have it .... after 40 years of the purposeful erosion of public education and purposeful growth of anti-science idiocy. ... and 40 years of a near-complete free pass from the media.

Receipts now coming in detailing that Mike Miles, now head of HSID, is a lying, corrupt, piece of shit.

Quote

Soon after starting at Sam Houston, Miller told the Texas Observer in an interview last year, she noticed something odd about how TFS-Texas ran the elementary school: Some classes the students were taking didn’t match their report cards.

State law requires that Texas school children take social studies—“consisting of Texas, United States and world history, government, geography, and economics”—and receive physical education, including for elementary schoolers a specified amount of daily or weekly physical activity. But, in a written complaint to TEA and interviews with the Observer, Miller alleged the school failed to provide social studies courses, a claim supported by an ex-Sam Houston teacher and TFS documents. Miller also alleged the school did not provide sufficient physical education to all students. She and two ex-teachers described problems to the Observer with the way corresponding grades were recorded.

Texas’ upper elementary school students typically take civics, Texas history, and U.S. history to fulfill social studies requirements. Instead, upper-grade students at Sam Houston took Miles’ “Art of Thinking” course, which TFS officials have argued, in response to Miller’s complaint, fulfills the state social studies requirement but which former school employees described as more of a reading or critical thinking class. 

Additionally, instead of all students taking a traditional physical education class, some took other electives instead. TFS officials have said, again in response to Miller’s complaint, that all students received sufficient physical activity “through a variety of classes” including “physical education, dance, martial arts, team sports, and fitness classes.” But Miller alleged that students in grades three through six did not receive the state-mandated hours of physical activity because these upper-grade students rotated through electives—which included, per a 2023-24 list provided by TFS, at least four classes that appear to lack physical exercise: sketching, photography, sign language, and choir.

Yet, on their report cards, Sam Houston students received grades for “Social Studies” and “Physical Education,” according to Miller and a report card reviewed by the Observer. The teachers who taught the school’s PE classes were required to enter PE grades on behalf of contractors who taught other electives, according to Miller and an ex-PE teacher. TFS has confirmed that certified teachers entered grades on behalf of these contractors.
