In other words, Blackburn is a deplorable representing other deplorables. Oddly enough, this has to count as one of her most honest statements in office.
The Post continues to dig into the Meadows voter fraud story. In this installment, things appear to worsen for Debra Meadows, who may soon join her husband as the focus of an investigation by the NCBI: https://t.co/ayHLgSQqqx

tfw your Time Machine backup disk, Large Marge, suddenly starts complaining: “Error occurred creating backup directory.” so you try to eject. nope, won’t eject. you try to enter Time Machine. nope, nothing there. wtf. there goes 2 years of incremental backups, I guess.

eventually you give up and just try to reformat the disk and start over, and disk utility complains: “unable to write to the last block of the device.” wtf. but first aid says the disk is ok. goddammit. gonna make me work this time.

People’s Convoy Now Wants To Make Citizen’s Arrests Of Police For Making Them Pee Their Pants
This is definitely going to end well for everyone involvedThe fit-throwing antics of the People’s Convoy over generally already lifted COVID-19 mandates now includes the notion of a citizen’s arrest for D.C.’s mayor, Metro police officers and average drivers who may or may not be Antifa.
This is what happens when you piss off (on?) a patriot. Our old friend Zachary Petrizzo from the Daily Beast has the exchange:
According to co-organizer and trucker Ron Coleman, The People’s Convoy has a new goal: conduct “citizen’s arrests” of Metro PD officers and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. “We have to put a summons out to the Metro PD and Mayor Bowser…we would do citizen’s arrests [of] them.”

If you have one backup you have no backups.
I’ve lived in a conservative state, among the higher classes, for thirty years.
Adult, white men start worrying about perverts about fifteen minutes after one of their own is identified as a predator.
The context for the multiple prurient moral panics going on right now is the quantity of open discussion that’s occurred in the last five years of how men with positions of traditional authority abuse their power, and how institutions that grant them power cover up to maintain their clout.
Since hierarchy can’t be questioned, these factual, documented occurrences can’t signify anything…the alternative proposition can only be that there are worse people that must be identified and punished—outsiders and weirdos. Bad things are done by bad kinds of people, and bad kinds of people are culturally, even visually distinct, from normal, goods kinds of people.

Choice one is to acknowledge that cultural signaling of virtue does not produce virtue and hierarchical position within a cultural institution that bestows “virtue” is abuse-able power.
Choice two is to pick somebody funny looking with no power to take it in the neck.
re: #16 John Hughes
If you have one backup you have no backups.
I remember when I started at a new position and went to check the backups that they’d been making religiously to DAT tapes and found that the script they used had a syntax error, so nothing was backed up for the year between me and my predecessor. Simple fix (they were using dump on SVr3.2) and had a full backup weekly, incremental daily, and a full to take offsite made monthly. Theoretically fireproof safe on site but I’d still bet the tapes would have melted from the heat.
Less than a month after I arrived the 300mb boot disk gave up it’s magic smoke. O_O

re: #14 darthstar
Didn’t see the new thread…so here it is again.
Without going into great granularity, this conservative running loss-assessment site shows that Ukraine has captured more Russian combat/logistics assets than they have lost to the Russians from all causes.
The Mo Brooks thing shows that Trump’s future is aligned with Putin’s…all the assholes are going down soon.

I had a backup for one of my drives and a backup of the backup.
The latter died less than 48 hours after the former.

She’s completely un-American in refusing to equate her religious views with “knowledge”.
As with anti-choicers — and there’s a lot of crossover — the QAnoners that Hawley, Cruz, Graham, etc. are pandering to know they’re the bad guys. So they latch onto these ridiculous stories about how they want to “save the children” to feel like heroes instead of villains. pic.twitter.com/OEq6JR7Igz

Telling a story about how the first Black woman on the Supreme Court is somehow a secret pedophile enabler allows them to feel better about the actual predators they routinely enable. Trump is a confessed one. Kavanaugh was credibly accused and lied under oath in his denial.

Oh, my…
Based on the to-date disastrous performance of the Russian military in Ukraine, I’m rethinking my rethinking of my thinking on Romney’s 2012 characterization of Russia as being America’s “number one geopolitical foe”. He was roundly mocked: after all, Russia’s GDP was smaller than Texas. But then, during the Trump administration, where for a minor investment, Putin managed to select our President and undermine our position in the world, it seemed that Romney was amazingly prescient. Putin’s malice and goals were unlimited and it seems that despite the nation’s lack of financial resources, that he had contemporary tools that rendered our defenses obsolete. But now we observe the Russian invasion has stalled against a much smaller, less armed combatant. So maybe, in one sense, Putin is like the wizard of Oz — projecting awesome power that is all illusion. Russian is not China; it is North Korea with a nuclear arsenal and oil, but with little else of interest to the contemporary world. Its military strength is a mirage.
Something about the escalating* vehemence in today’s hearings makes me wonder if Thomas’s health is worse than we realize and certain people know it.
* If it was ever less or let up an inch for more than a minute is debatable.
Worrying sign and one argument for Putin trying to stoke a war with NATO to avoid humiliation by losing a war to Ukraine alone. https://t.co/J8UIlnNI2u

One point about Russia vs. the US is this — all of Russia’s election interference and other dirty tricks bullshit would have meant nothing if the Republican Party wasn’t already corrupt to the core and enemies of the US people.

Garland was a white man. And they didn’t even given him a hearing. My guess is that they would be equally vicious against anyone who Biden nominated, unless the person was a Republican recommended by the Federalist Society.

I’ve said it before, if the Senate refuses to have hearings and a vote, that should be considered waiving the advice and consent role, and the nominee should take the seat. They don’t get a pocket veto.

Quite possibly, but a white man could fight back. Maybe that should be his next choice.

Garland was robbed because Obama is a Black man. ‘Reactionary’ is the motivating force in the Republican Party. I was going to say, ‘since Obama’, but it goes back a little further, to the threat of Hillary. They hate her more than they hate Obama. Obama saved them from Hillary for 8 years. Then they had to deploy the Trump.

Since Clinton.
All the British TERFs have come out of the wainscoting in this thread. It seems to confirm that there is a kind of “toxic feminity” that belies the idea that only males can be “bad”. TERFs, particularly British TERFs, gladly “police” their feminity in the full American sense of the term. I wonder what British trans people think?
one theory i heard is that the UK actually has more gender-related carveouts in the law, separate female institutions so that it actually comes up more in policy (also mumsnet, i think it might just be mumsnet)
