LMAO. It’s not govt policies causing shortages in baby formula. It’s a duopoly where Enfamil and Similac dominate entire market, and when one or both have supply issues due to QA and production issues, it causes widespread problems.

Mike Pence said that cuts to Medicare and Social Security should be “on the table for the long term,” differentiating himself from Donald Trump as he considers a run for the Oval Office, NBC News reports.Said Pence: “We’re looking at a debt crisis in this country over the next 25 years that’s driven by entitlements, and nobody in Washington, D.C., wants to talk about it.”

“The superintendent of a Texas school district resigned after a third-grade student found his gun unattended in a school bathroom,” NBC News reports.
well im just reading it and i havent been here a lot this last week
so if you all covered, this, well sorry
anyway
The student told his teacher about the firearm, and the teacher sent the boy and another student to “go and be sure that’s what he found,” Jones said Tuesday. The two students went to the bathroom and “once it was determined that’s what it was, they went straight to the superintendent’s office,” he said.
the teacher got ‘a talking to’

Blizzard should be starting here in a couple of hours if the forecast is correct. Certainly is a slightly different era than when I grew up. Both of my daughters’ high schools went virtual for today and tomorrow instead of cancelling school.
The thought of virtual just a few years ago was crazy talk. Now with that option, they announce virtual in situations that wouldn’t have closed the schools in prior years (tomorrow would definitely have been closed even in the good old days). My wife and I cleared out the driveway of the 5” of overnight snow early this morning in about a half hour and the blizzard part likely won’t hit the area until 2:30 or so this afternoon.

Just a few months ago, we reported that Walking Dead star Norman Reedus had been bitten by an eager fan while at Walker Stalker Con. Reedus emerged from the event mostly unscathed, but during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the actor finally explained what the heck happened after he took a photo with a person who seemed to be a sweet lady. Here’s his hilarious take on events:We took this picture and she sort of morphed into a werewolf. She kinda started to shake like that, and then she went up like this and kinda howled. And then she came down and bit me on the breast, the chest. And howled again. I kind of went, ‘Ow.’ And Michael Rooker was there and went, ‘What the fuck was that?’ And then a couple of nice officers tackled her to the ground. She was escorted out. And she came outside and went ‘What happened?’ And they said ‘Ma’am, you just bit Norman, and she said ‘I did?’

This problem was science fiction not very long ago.
The Hugo award-winning Science Fiction-focused Clarkesworld Magazine can receive over 12,000 submissions in just one year. Of course, that was before the proliferation of free online AI models that can write a dull, monotonous, though technically legible piece of fiction.
On Monday, Clarkesworld Magazine editor Neil Clarke tweeted that the company had closed all submissions, writing “It shouldn’t be hard to guess why.” Looking back over the past few weeks, it’s clear that fake spam submissions made using AI-based large language models has inundated the magazine’s editors with nearly 35 times the number of fake submissions as the same time last year. Clarke wrote that his magazine received 50 of these AI-generated submissions before noon on Presidents’ Day.
Just to be clear, this is NOT the number of submissions we receive by month. This is the number of people we’ve had to ban by month. Prior to late 2022, that was mostly plagiarism. Now it’s machine-generated submissions. https://t.co/YJdjBOTFmy

There was an Amtrak derailment in Washington State in 2017 which also* lacked PTC braking, which would have prevented the crash.
Amtrak CEO Richard Anderson said that positive train control was not active on the track,[20] a factor cited in two accidents in Spuyten Duyvil and in Port Richmond, Philadelphia.[21][22]
…
The lead locomotive recorder showed that the engineer had commented on the train’s excessive speed six seconds before the derailment, and applied the brakes. The lead locomotive was traveling at 78 mph (126 km/h) when recording stopped.[60]
Earlier in the article;
President Donald Trump said on Twitter a few hours after the accident that the derailment shows that his “soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be passed quickly.” He said “several trillion dollars” were spent in the Middle East while the transport infrastructure “crumble[s]”. A second tweet said his “thoughts and prayers are with everyone”, and he thanked first responders.[51] The Associated Press and The New York Times reports of Trump’s tweets said the accident had occurred on newly constructed track that was part of a recently upgraded line.[18][52] The New York Times added that this project was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an act signed by President Barack Obama that aimed to address infrastructure shortfalls.[18]

Whoever did the calculations that PTC was more expensive than what it would save was undervaluing accident rates or the real cost of derailments heavily.

It was the freight lines that maintain the rights of way.
They limit what the passenger lines, including Amtrak or NJ Transit or MTA’s LIRR/Metro North could do on the lines shared by both. And state/federal agencies were cash strapped to limit what they do on lines where they do have control, plus would be inoperable in the places beyond their control.

Sweden has had a system called ATC(-1) in use since the early 80’s on the National Railway, and it even had a second version installed (ATC-2) before it was decided to migrate to ERTMS/ETCS like the rest of Europe.
Last major train accident was the Lerum Train Crash in 1987, which was a head-on collision caused by miswiring, one train going 100 kph, the other 110 kph.
Accidents became rare when the system was fully installed, although incidents for other reasons do happen (mainly shoddy maintenance and shutdown routines).

I’m pleased to see Maria lumped in with Lou and Jeanine. She’ll go along with any insane claim, never pushing back at all. It’s creepy, like watching Soviet TV.
Isn’t it comforting to have your worst suspicions confirmed?
Last week, the release of a legal filing in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation case against Fox News disclosed text messages, emails, and deposition testimony of Fox hosts and executives that provided a rare look at the inner workings of a propaganda outfit that masquerades as a news network. They revealed that Fox and its on-air personalities relentlessly validated and amplified Donald Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election, even though they knew his claim of a stolen election was utter bullshit. The network, which has billed itself as “fair and balanced,” endorsed and advanced Trump’s dangerous disinformation campaign and actively aided his effort to subvert American democracy. The result? A violent attempt at insurrection at the US Capitol.
By now, you may have read about the specific examples cited in the legal document. Fox’s top hosts and network executives were texting each other and noting that the election conspiracy theories—especially the crap pushed by lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani about Dominion supposedly rigging its voting machines to deny Trump victory—were bogus. Undeterred, Fox kept promoting this nonsense. When a Fox reporter fact-checked these notions and found them baseless, host Tucker Carlson texted host Sean Hannity, “Please get her fired. Seriously….What the fuck? I’m actually shocked…It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.” When then-White House correspondent Kristin Fisher vetted the absurd claims made by Powell and Giuliani, she received a call from her boss who told her the “higher-ups at Fox News were also unhappy with it” and Fisher “needed to do a better job of respecting our audience.”
According to the legal filing, the most bonkers of Fox hosts—Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, and Jeanine Pirro—provided a platform for the most deranged allegations, even when they had good reason to know they were unfounded. Bartiromo hosted Powell and gave credence to her cockamamie charges after Powell had sent her a bizarre email from a supposed source for the Dominion allegations who claimed, “I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live….The Wind tells me I’m a ghost, but I don’t believe it.”

When your starting assumption is that Fox is utterly and totally corrupt, top to bottom, the only way it can be worse is if you find out that they’ve been killing puppies.
Yep, I was right.
Florida’s anti-SLAPP laws are two of only a handful that do not address whether a SLAPP defendant’s motion will halt discovery proceedings. Besides stating that a defendant must show that the lawsuit was brought in violation of the relevant anti-SLAPP law, neither provision specifies what standard a court uses to decide whether a claim was wrongly brought. §§ 768.295(4), 720.304(4)(c).
Significantly, under either anti-SLAPP provision, whichever party prevails on the special motion is entitled to recover attorney’s fees and costs. §§ 768.295(4); 720.304(c). Thus, a SLAPP defendant who does not prevail on an anti-SLAPP motion must pay the plaintiff’s attorney’s fees and costs, presenting a significant deterrent from filing even legitimate anti-SLAPP motions.

Accidents became rare when the system was fully installed, although incidents for other reasons do happen (mainly shoddy maintenance and shutdown routines).
Only remotely major accident was the 2013 Saltsjöbanan Train Crash, where a train set in door brake mode but with main brakes free were set in motion by a cleaning lady why brushed against the drivers seat which was propping up a maneuvering control, which released the door brakes, causing the train set to roll down into Saltsjöbaden station.
The train set went to the stops at the end of the line and into a home a bit further…
Who was to blame? Initially, they blamed the poor cleaning lady, who was said to be if not AntiFA, then at least very left-leaning. Same cleaning lady who was fighting for her life because she was in the train and had tried to stop it before it rammed into the building.
Needless to say, it soon emerged that the brakes on the train set had been jury-rigged so the brake pads would not freeze onto the train wheels. Turns out the contractor had been to cheap to buy the rail shoes one can use to prevent a brakeless carriage from moving, heating in the depot, and general lack of oversight…
And yeah, cleaning lady later sued for gross libel.

It’s an iconic moment for a certain generation of gamers. Samus Aran rises out of her ship on an alien planet as she has in all her games, except for the first time you’re in her head, looking through the bounty hunter’s visor, rain spattering onto it as you look around a vast open area. This is the beginning of Metroid Prime and also the beginning of Metroid Prime Remastered, Nintendo’s just-dropped hi-def remaster of the classic GameCube game. It looks stunning in this new rendition (or as stunning as the Switch can make it), but for me, re-experiencing this moment for the first time in HD was a letdown.This disappointment isn’t based in anything logical; it is entirely emotional. See, no matter how good this HD remake is (and it is really good), no matter if it were released on a more powerful console with every damn polygon rebuilt from scratch, no matter how great the game still is, nothing could ever live up to the images I have in my head of this game. Metroid Prime on the GameCube is lodged into my head in stunning HD, with a vast world that is breathing and living and doors that open insanely slowly to help build the game’s suspense. That initial entrance into the world was a vibrant, vast space to explore where the rain literally hit your visor.
This game, which I haven’t played any more than the average game in my life, haven’t played for more than a decade, and haven’t fully played for more than two decades, is so ingrained in my head that I could walk you through its first hour or so without looking. That hour, in my head, is full of one stunning moment after another that looks like a real world with giant roots crawling through walls, barren craggy cave systems, and, of course, mysterious and detailed Chozo relics and artwork. It is, in short, alive.

Epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, is a rare and serious genetic disorder affecting the skin—so rare, in fact, that only a small handful of charities work with people living with the disease. People who work in this world, it’s safe to say, tend to know one another. The person they say they do not know—except, now, by the reputation he’s laboriously created over the last few months—is Congressman George Santos.
Early versions of Santos’ campaign website claimed that he and his family “engaged in helping children with EB.” Organizations representing EB patients, though, told VICE News they have no records of Santos or his parents ever making any charitable donations to them, or doing any other form of advocacy, ever.

The rationale would go something like this:
a) Judges allegedly do not mix their religion and politics. As such, they are just weighing in on the law. Note how hard President John F. Kennedy had to argue he would not be beholden to Rome.
b) Priests are not elected officials. It is their job to uphold the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
c) It is a Catholic parishioner’s job to obey the instructions of their church, including the thousand-year history of the Church as a rape and paedophile factory.

Donald Trump’s visit to the site of a toxic train derailment in Ohio is offering a political opening to battered Biden administration officials — by calling new attention to the former president’s record of rolling back regulations on both rail safety and hazardous chemicals.Trump’s administration withdrew an Obama-era proposal to require faster brakes on trains carrying highly flammable materials, ended regular rail safety audits of railroads, and mothballed a pending rule requiring freight trains to have at least two crew members. He also placed a veteran of the chemical industry in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency’s chemical safety office, where she made industry-friendly changes to how the agency studied health risks.
These actions have mostly been a matter of Trump-era trivia amid the furor over the Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine, which has brought fierce GOP criticism of the response by Biden appointees such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. But Trump’s Ohio trip on Wednesday is provoking new scrutiny of his own track record — a development that some in the Biden administration were privately welcoming.

I’ve written before about a couple of houses that I pass on my way to work with multiple Trump flags, mannequins made to look like Pelosi and Nadler, and handwritten signs listing all of the supposed failings of “sleepy” Joe. I also mentioned that the wife of one of the nutballs worked with my wife on Bernie’s campaign in 2015/2016. I may have even mentioned that she has put up her own “face it, Biden won” flag on the opposite side of the yard.
Today I was walking home from work and so got to notice something I hadn’t before: she now has a sign extending from a tree at the edge of the yard next to the roadway with some colorful language. I mean colorful because it’s small and hard to see, but is also written in glittery ink. It read “one more Trumpster and my wind chime will be complete.” I couldn’t figure it out for a second, but then noticed that dangling from the sign attached to strings were several spent shotgun shells and long-gun bullet casings. Damn. Must get interesting at dinnertime over there.

He has not been released on bail as of Monday afternoon. WPTV reports that the incident occurred in October, but James had only been arrested recently by U.S. marshals.
Officials with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told WPTV that James pulled up for his order, and after a server handed a drink and turned around, James tossed the 3 1/2-foot gator into the drive-through window.

Y-21 has not released much information, but King was able to confirm that a fire broke out Wednesday morning in Building 9212. In an updated release, Y-12 said the fire started around 9:14 a.m. in a handling hood.
WVLT News was on scene and spoke to officials, who were able to provide some information on the incident. Those officials were quick to assure the public that the incident was contained to the Y-12 complex and the public does not need to worry about any impact offsite.
“I think if you live nearby you’d be very concerned,” one spokesperson for Y-12 told WVLT News. “The situation is under control and is contained.”

If that is a mid-1980s heavy & slow model, the conversion is a good use.
That’s a 1970 to 1972 body style, based on the ducts behind the front tires being crosshatched like that.
More on this particular incident -
(Additionally, there were flyers distributed in Texas and NY I believe. And there was also the recent shooting of two Jews in LA.)
On February 17 and 18, 2023, approximately 15 individuals associated with the virulently antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) distributed propaganda and protested across Florida. Many of the participants traveled from out of state, including individuals from Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
GDL is a network of rabidly antisemitic provocateurs led by Jon Minadeo who recently relocated to Florida from California. GDL’s overarching goal is to expel Jews from America. To that end, they cast aspersions on Jews and spread antisemitic myths and conspiracy theories in hopes of turning Americans against the Jewish people.
On Friday, February 17, 2023, the GDL demonstrated in front of the Chabad of South Orlando, holding signs and shouting slurs and obscenities at pedestrians and motorists for several hours. The next day, approximately ten individuals associated with the neo-Nazi NatSoc Florida joined GDL members in a protest outside the Daytona International Speedway, unfurling antisemitic banners on a pedestrian bridge reading, “Communism is Jewish” and “Henry Ford was right about the Jews.” Partipants also distributed propaganda and harassed pedestrians.

it isn’t just one guy, there’s a bunch of them
Too many. It would take a street fight to stop them if the cops won’t arrest them, guaranteeing bloodshed on both sides.
re: #208 Crush White Nationalism
Why aren’t younger people in the area shutting this guy down? You don’t let some maniac hassle elderly people. They do this because no one stops them.
I assume that it being Florida, you have to be the “Right People” to deserve police protection. With all due respect to our long suffering friends located there, I have pretty much eliminated Florida from my list of interesting places to visit.

Has anyone told these mouth-breathing fuckwits that it’s 2023 and not 1933 and hanging out on public streets is asking to getting sniped?

I had a great week with a woman from Atlanta at a nice beachside hotel in Surfside, FL while we were both there for a week of training, but that was years ago, before things got really crazy down there. I wouldn’t go back.
The walkout is slated to begin at noon and last an hour at campuses statewide, which includes Florida State University—just down the street from the governor’s mansion and his office at Florida’s Capitol building. https://t.co/JL3t9GXtHd

Five employees of an environmental consulting firm died when a small airplane they were traveling in crashed outside an industrial area of Little Rock on Wednesday shortly after the plane took off, authorities said. https://t.co/cv2yfSxBNk

CTEH, an environmental consulting firm based in North Little Rock, said the five people on board the plane — including the pilot — were its employees. A company spokesman said the employees were responding to an explosion at an Ohio metals plant this week that killed one worker and sent more than a dozen to the hospital.

Comment on that article:
Well after their relentless assault on same sex marriage failed they needed something to demonize. God doesn’t make mistakes. That’s what they say….. I mean birth defects and all kinds of horrific shit on the planet, but God only really seems good for finding lost car keys and touchdowns. Still they “pray” and give money. /s

I understand that Germany 1933 was preceded by a near civil war in Germany between leftwing and rightwing groups. Including major shootouts and summary executions. The rightwing/monarchists won. Which lead to their control of Germany and appointing of Hitler in the 1930’s.

That Capitol building reminds of something, but I can’t quiiiiite put my finger on it…

The first man of the guerilla patrol opens the track like this. Skis 50m with full speed and then steps to the side, and remains last. The next one continues at the same speed. This is how the patrol moves quickly in deep snow.

JUST IN: Statement sent to @MarkPhllpsnews from @GeneralBrnovich:
I am proud of the work our office did with the election integrity unit that was created by the Arizona legislature.
1/3— The AZ - abc15 - Data Guru (@Garrett_Archer) February 22, 2023
Nevertheless, we also identified areas we believe the legislature and county officials should address to ensure confidence in future elections.

Former AZ AG Mark Brnovich stands accused of covering up evidence that there was no voter fraud in Arizona.
This came shortly after Kris Mayes, the new Democratic AG of Arizona, released a trove of documents from her predecessor, revealing that Brnovich’s office scuttled a report from investigators that delved into detail on why essentially every claim made about misconduct in the Arizona 2020 election was spurious.

CTEH is a Consulting Toxicology and Environmental Health firm based out of Kemah, TX (west shore of Galveston Bay, with an office in North Little Rock). They specialize in air and water pollution testing, specializing in Environmental Fate and Transport through various media.
In other words, eco-scientist nerds, like me.
RIP, deepest condolences to their families. Terrifying way to step on a rainbow.
