LYRICS:

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned
To each other’s hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge

Some of them knew pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged love’s bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in a moment they were swept before the deluge

Now let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky

Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned
How to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so
Simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge

Now let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by
When the light that’s lost within us reaches the sky

But he asks a great question of the reporters:

“Why aren’t you asking people across the aisle why they *aren’t* supporting voting rights?”

Isn’t that the real question? It’s certainly more important than the filibuster. Just have the R’s answer the question. Make them show their work. Don’t let them deflect, don’t let them evade or change the subject.

To ask the question would be to not only anger their meal tickets, but it would also challenge the central tenet of the Church of Lyin’tology (h/t driftglass): “Both Sides Are Bad.” They have to keep that false balance going, lest they run afoul of angry MAGAts who might accuse them of being *gasp!* liberals! So they maintain the BSAB line by arguing that even if the GQP are wrong for deliberately working to suppress tens of millions of voters, the Dems are just as “wrong” for even suggesting that the filibuster needs to be reformed/abolished because doing such threatens “bipartisanship.”

Some of us here had things like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the 24th Amendment (that did away with the poll tax) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 happen within our lifetimes. Some of us grew up hearing about voting rights workers like Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner or Viola Liuzzo getting killed all because they were out registering Black people to vote in the Deep South.

Within our lifetimes.

And the Brian Kemps of the world, along with their followers, they’d have us go back to all that garbage designed to keep Black people from voting. My response to that is FUCK NO, and if it takes going to Atlanta to get arrested following my personal (and religious belief that thirsty people should be given water, I’ll by God do it.

Humans are actually quite good at controlling nature. Not all aspects of it, certainly, but we have developed extremely sophisticated methods of controlling our environment. What we are not good at, however, is controlling ourselves.

Hey, at least we’re making progress in that they’re acknowledging that a shitload of people have to die before herd immunity becomes a factor.

Give them a few hundred thousand more deaths and they might finally begin to realize that the only way you actually reach herd immunity naturally is when a population is so decimated that the only survivors are either naturally immune or are so few that the virus cannot spread quickly enough before infectees either die or fight off the infection.

The sad reality is that too many will look at charts like these and think not of “lives saved” but of “money/tax revenue lost.” Especially when their mindset is that the people most “at risk” are the elderly, i.e. a slice of the population that’s seen as a net loss and a burden on the economy, while the people they rely on most for revenue were “safe” to be out and about during the pandemic.

The most reliable prediction is that everybody who isn’t an epidemiologist is going to make arguments based upon what we know now to argue that we “overreacted” a year ago and we’d have been “safe” just carrying on as “normal.” Every time the CDC revises its guidelines based upon research done over the last year (see recent change of social distancing in schools to 3ft), the cry will be that they “lied” to us about how dangerous the virus is.

You mean like what happened with the bubonic plague in 1347-1350x? It burned out because there were no more people to infect after killing off 2/5ths of Europe. But it kept coming back (second pandemic), over and over, until the 1700s, when it disappeared (for the most part) for 150 years, but was replaced with cholera.

I hate to think that the thing that pushes out COVID-19 is some virus that is *worse*. Blergh. But we have to consider that as a very real possibility.

I know, now that we’re getting back to “normal” (whatever normal is), that the number of murderous gun incidents is increasing. However, “Focus on the Fetus Family” decided to go after Bradley Onishi, a former evangelical and associate professor of religious studies at Skidmore, because Onishi has been *very* vocal about how completely fucked up Evangelical sexual mores are.

Here’s the original article with Onishi’s remarks:

When Brad Onishi heard that the man accused of a rampage at three Atlanta-area spas told detectives that he had carried out the attacks as a way to eliminate his own temptations, the claim sounded painfully familiar.

Onishi, who grew up in a strict evangelical community in Southern California that emphasized sexual purity, had spent his teenage years tearing out any advertisements in surfing magazines that featured women in bikinis. He had traded his online passwords with friends to hold himself accountable.

“We had a militant vigilance: Don’t let anything in the house that will tempt you sexually,” Onishi, now an associate professor of religious studies at Skidmore College, recalled.

“Border Patrol agents were caught on film destroying supplies left to help migrants,” said a caption for a video posted by NowThis Politics on Jan. 17, and gaining renewed attention in December.

The recordings are legitimate, and U.S. Border Patrol denounced the actions back in January when they first became viral.

‘Squiggles the skunk’ and the Opposum (sounds like some sort of movie) apparently have quite a relationship.

It was interesting that the skunk was so reluctant to press the ‘nuc-u-lar’ button.

Erect tail is usually the first warning, the slapping front paws is the second warning. There is generally no third warning as the skunk usually goes into ‘launch mode’ at that point.

One of my neighbors has three German shepherds which they keep in their back yard. There was a baby skunk next to a parked car across the front yard. A good 30 feet away.

The dogs were barking at it, because… that’s what they do… I guess. It decided to try threaten the dogs, who were not impressed. So it attempted to go into firing mode (handstand facing target with butt projecting over head at target). But it was too young to succeed with the handstand and kept falling over. Eventually it got embarrassed and ran under a parked car.

One of the drives in my NAS has failed. 40,000 hours non stop, it had a good run. I’ve swapped it out with a spare and it’s rebuilding. Takes 4 or 5 days to complete that task. Time to order another drive to keep on hand.

whether the law was written badly or not there is a fundamental flawof thinking here.

neither the man nor the woman knew the specific law when the event happened. neither one did what they did based in how ths statute read or would be interpreted. they probably didn’t even know about it.

this is people, I’m guessing mostly white men, years later applying law sure, but ignoring the situation the two individuals were in at the time.

I made sure my son had every vaccine, including the chicken pox one and the one for HPV. He was born autistic and vaccines have nothing to do with it. But you can’t tell anti vaccine assholes this. Even though there’s an excellent chance they were fully vaccinated as as kids. I hate those people.

They don’t care if a baby is malnourished, is born with an illness, winds up in a run down school, gets molested especially by a priest, or is bullied and abused to the point they commit suicide.

Well, we smoked half of it (12 hours in the smoker then wrapped in foil and finished in the over for another 2 hours; it fell to pieces when he lifted it out of the foil).

We made up a corning solution in which the other half has been bathing for the past 7 days.

Here it is, after 5 hours at 250F in a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven.

It is currently resting before slicing.

This paragraph is annoying:

The way it’s always been done.

US Ambassadors are well-known around the world as the diplomatic equivalent of Walmart greeters, rolled out for grip-and-grin photo opportunities and hosting Embassy dinners but not to be otherwise engaged in serious business without a minder standing by. The real work of representing US interests in each nation is carried out by by the permanent State Department people at each Embassy plus the NOC CIA station head aka assistant trade envoy.

President Trump appointed someone who owns a sportsball franchise to be US ambassador to the UK and he’s now been replaced by the Charge d’Affaires State Dept. head honcho pro tempore until President Biden gets around to nominating a Democrat fundraiser or close family friend for the role. President Obama did the same, appointing two major fundraisers for his electoral campaigns to the position of Ambassador to the Court of St. James during his eight years in the Oval Office.

Just for contrast, the UK ambassador to the United States is currently Dame Karen Pierce, a forty-year veteran of the British diplomatic corps, having been the British rep to the UN in Geneva for six years as well as holding down a lot of other important positions in her career.
