Anyone who says healthy kids don’t die from influenza is willfully ignorant and awful. Also, my son almost died from influenza when he was 2 and he likely caught it from a healthy kid or adult with the flu. So yeah, fuck right off. Active #COVID19 cases surged faster in teachers & students than Que...

Daft Punk split up after 28 years The Paris-born electronic music duo Daft Punk are no more. The group, consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, confirmed the breakup with an eight-minute video titled “Epilogue” excerpted from their 2006 science fiction film ...

Good Riddance, Rush Limbaugh.

You might be able to spray some UV protectant on the surface to try and reduce the impact of the UV radiation on the material, though it might also cause dust to stick to the surface. Another thing would be to use a silver tarp on top and then a reflective under-layer to prevent heat from radiating ...

"This would be like if the civic leaders of Constantinople, whose homes had been invaded and ransacked, were jurors in the trial of the besiegers—and voted to acquit the Doge of Venice on the charge of masterminding the 1204 attack. Or if the 9/11 families voted to acquit Osama bin Laden. Or if Fre...

(new Republican party) Yes, that is the Republican Party. We can't allow the GOP to think things can return to some veneer of the former status quo. That they can quietly try and sweep its more degenerate elements, which they embraced for temporary convenience, under the rug and continue to pass of...

Trump support polling https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/537442-poll-64-percent-of-gop-voters-likely-to-join-a-trump-led-3rd This is sad Oh it's certainly sad, but something I welcome. I want the GOP divided and fractured. A bunch of numbskulls following their incompetent orange Mess...

Only at least in Australia you could breathe the air and raise livestock. There is literally nothing on Mars worth humans doing unless you're a scientist or something. Maybe a Mars Only Fans account? I can't believe Musk thinks that he should be paid to send people live in what would be the most des...

In regard to my research methods you are correct the sample size is small, however, Burning Man is not the only festival I am exploring. The aim of my research is to provide recommendations to festival organisers about what could be improved and what is working well to create safer environments for...

This was from 2011, how prescient:
Way too many Qwhacks in thinking they're in a Pen15 club.

I still haven't seen a follow-up on all of the young & healthy health professionals getting Covid-19, with an exploration of any correlation between: - SARS-CoV-2 aerosols found near Pt.s in airflows ~2 metres upstream and up to 6 metres downstream, - ~32% of Covid-19 Pt.s presenting with diarrhea,...

Though Canoe was pretty on-point.

Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book Shocked. Shocked I am. No way that influenced Trumps blocking or dissing criticisms of things the Russians did, like bounties on U.S. military...

Found on twitter once Agolf Twitler was out of office... > OFFICIAL: Former President Donald Trump is no longer immune from criminal prosecution. Prosecutors, stand back and stand by. > Actually, prosecutors, go forth and do your thang!!! And make it merciless and complete. Expand the investigation...

It was nice not seeing his orange shit face in the background audience of the inauguration.

I'll flush twice in memory of your dishonor you piece of shit.

Get the bikes!

Atop the Powerful Budget Committee at Last, Bernie Sanders Wants to Go Big “Do you know who becomes chair of the Senate Budget Committee?” Mr. Ryan asked. “A guy named Bernie Sanders. You ever heard of him?” ... Despite Democrats’ narrow control of the Senate, Mr. Sanders is expected to exert heavy...

Trump performs all his debased, corrupt, and deviant actions in plain sight, and has this entire term of office. He knew that most of the laws and deterrent factors for most of those actions were held together by tradition or condemnation, but mostly toothless. In appealing to society's baser elemen...

The Mercers were a major funder of Parler, which is on the down spiral. With all its suppliers defecting, they left the front door open and their data was grabbed by hackers. Now the data is public, it is public to the FBI. https://threatpost.com/parler-archive-amazon-suspension/162928/ 80 TB of da...

While I would've been pleased or indifferent if it spread throughout their own ranks, the anti-masking Republican ass-hats infected other lawmakers as they hunkered down during the Capitol riot.

If it ruins the GOP, it may just be worth it, but then maybe we'll get something worse... or maybe it'd be that way anyway but with the veneer stripped off. The next authoritarian will be far more competent.

Weird! Thought it would add seconds that year!

That "strategy of disruption" has its roots in the 2000 Brooks Brothers Riot, which disrupted vote counting for the 2000 presidential elections and helped to hand the election to G.W. Bush. Unsurprisingly, the Brook Brothers Riot was orchestrated by none other than Trump-pardoned Roger Stone. It see...

I am enjoying every moment of seeing the GOP rip itself into bickering factions. We have the Trumpster fire "base" that mistrusts the GOP establishment and forcing politicians to support their ludicrous theories. A quarter of McConnell's senate Republicans are defying his orders to accept the result...

Y'know, it's shit like that that makes me sometimes wish that the virus were more deadly.

Nice! The GOP's useful idiot "base" can be their unmaking. I fear them less than the scheming Republican leaders who know how to codify their oppression into law, and hope the latter lose their power permanently.
