Scott Perry Floats Nixing the State of the Union
I expect they will cancel the SOTU. Most likely because the government is shut down. That hapened before, with the excuse that they could not secure the Capitol properly.
But the GOP does not want Biden to have the undivided airtime. But, he can easily have the speech from the White House, and every network would cover it.
He should get with Seth and the Jimmy’s to do a simultaneous show live in prime time.

re: #72 Joe Bacon ✅
Joe should tell the GOP to fuck off and give the State Of The Union address at a Union convention.
They required a joint resolution from both the House and Senate to invite him. I would think it would require a joint resolution to disinvite him.
The government shutdown from Dec 2018- Jan 2019 overlapped Trump’s SOTU. Pelosi said that they could not provide enough security while the government was shut down and suggested they find another time after the shutdown was over. Trump initially was defiant and said he would give it no matter what. And he retaliated against Pelosi by saying she and a House delegation would not be allowed to use military aircraft to travel overseas.
She sent him a letter. He replied that he had checked with the Secret Service who told him there was no security problem and he would appear no matter what. She replied with a leter saying that the House would not vote on a resolution to actually let him use the House chambers for the speech. And Trump backed down.
But what would happen if the House rescinded its invitation and refused to pass a concurrrent resollution to use House chambers, but the Senate kept the invitation. Could Biden give a speech just to the Senate? Interesting.

Now that would be really interesting. How would it be covered? Would Jon Stewart be pissed? And you can bet Trump would scream about equal time.

Why IVF seems to be the biggest story of the week
Russia misinformaton is of noreal concern for the media elite. They have lived it for a decade so why change. LGBTQ issues are no big deal because the people who read the NYT are sure the private school they send their kids to will not have bullying problems.
But IVF, being something that is really only available to well heeled Americans like the NYT readership? That is a big deal.

Hackers and ransom
Russia-tied hackers threaten to leak Georgia Trump trial docs if ransom isn’t paid: report
US pharmacy outage triggered by ‘Blackcat’ ransomware at UnitedHealth unit, sources say
The Georgia trial could be stopped. Our healthcare system is hobbled because people cannot easily get prescriptions filled nor have insurance pay for it.
And now we have the possibility that autonomous AI could be capable of doing even more. From the abstract:
In this work, we show that LLM agents can autonomously hack websites, performing tasks as complex as blind database schema extraction and SQL injections without human feedback. Importantly, the agent does not need to know the vulnerability beforehand. This capability is uniquely enabled by frontier models that are highly capable of tool use and leveraging extended context. Namely, we show that GPT-4 is capable of such hacks, but existing open-source models are not. Finally, we show that GPT-4 is capable of autonomously finding vulnerabilities in websites in the wild

Getting close to a week also. If the pharmacy hack is ransomware, it will not be easily solved. I was told that e-prescriptions were not functioning, so I would need to bring is a physical prescription. And I would have to pay cash for the drugs and get insurance to reimburse. Meaning, of course, that any deductible will lilely be lost in the maw of physical leters to the insurance companies.
I am not hopeful.
Mary Trump: Truth Social could bail the ex-president out of his fraud judgment

The Mystery of White Rural Rage
PAUL KRUGMAN
. . . Federal programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and more — are available to all Americans, but are disproportionately financed from taxes paid by affluent urban areas. As a result there are huge de facto transfers of money from rich, urban states like New Jersey to poor, relatively rural states like West Virginia.
While these transfers somewhat mitigate the hardship facing rural America, they don’t restore the sense of dignity that has been lost along with rural jobs. And maybe that loss of dignity explains both white rural rage and why that rage is so misdirected — why it’s pretty clear that this November a majority of rural white Americans will again vote against Joe Biden, who as president has been trying to bring jobs to their communities, and for Donald Trump, a huckster from Queens who offers little other than validation for their resentment. . .
Gotta love how the prestige press has ignored the fact that Elon Musk has become a full-bore race science creep, promoting claims of black inferiority. The minor story of earth’s richest man converting to white supremacy was left to “Benzinga” to report on https://t.co/SLa59SH4lW

‘Egregious’: FL college sanctioned over DeSantis’ ‘reign of terror’
The American Association of University Professors announced a “rare sanction” on Florida’s New College Monday as a result of Governor Ron DeSantis’ right-wing “takeover” of the state school last year, The Daily Beast reports.
Citing “egregious and extensive standards violations during its conservative takeover last year” by the failed GOP presidential candidate, the nonprofit wrote in its report the decision to sanction the school was due to “‘unprecedented politically motivated takeover’ that was a ‘complete departure from shared governance.’”
Per the Beast, “The association said it publicly sanctions schools ‘for the purpose of informing Association members, the profession at large, and the public that unsatisfactory conditions of academic government exist at the institutions in question.’”

I don’t think Biden or his team is stupid enough to let the GOP get away with not having the SOTU at Congress (if that’s what the GOP does).
In this situation, Biden could hammer the hell of out the do-nothing and obstructionist GOP that can’t be bothered to keep the House in session for essential business (e.g., funding in general, Ukraine in particular), and then they are too chickenshit to even deal with the SOTU.
I can’t imagine the GOP wanting to deal with the optics of that. It might cost them their mainstream media blast shields.

I would expect the House to not approve a joint resolution to use the House for the speech. But I would think the Senate would be happy to have him speak. And maybe only give passes to Democrats in the House to sit in the gallery.

Live is always better but one can give a speech online or via broadcast. For chrissakes, physical presence is a formality and an atavism from the early 20th century.
Just watched Joe Biden on Late NIght with Seth Meyers. He was outstanding. He had been on the show 10 years ago. They paled around a bit with Amy Poehler and then, after the commercial break, there was a real surprise.
Seth was freaking seriously asking important questions. And they had obviously asked the audience to be quiet for this. He asked about dictators. He asked about the economy. He asked what Biden wanted to accomplish in a second term,
And he asked about Israel-Gaza. Biden articulated a plan that fits the optimism he usually has. He said he had Saudis and Joardan ready to recoginize Israel. He talked abou a ceasefire to get the hostages out and that Israel would not do anything during Ramadan.
And he said that if the Israeli government continues (And he mentioned he has known every leader back to Meir and that it is horribly conservative) on the path it is one, it will lose the support of the nations it needs.
Plus he made fun of Trump. And brought out Dark Brandon. Seth did a better job interviewing Biden than virtually any of the pros.
I loved it. I’m sure there will be video soon.
Biden says hopes for Gaza ceasefire soon as Hamas mulls draft truce proposal
WHo would have thought that this would come out while Biden is being interviewed on a late night TV show? But Biden knows that there are other ways to reach people. Almost all the US media were talking about Biden and Seth making Taylor Swift jokes. But the Middle East is reacting to this.

The Republicans Are The Nazis’ Party
It is a sign of how very much the country has become acclimated to the extremes of the Donald Trump-led Republican Party that a bunch of Nazis showed up to this weekend’s CPAC conference, and it barely got any attention.
Nobody who was present this weekend could possibly have been unaware of the Nazi presence. They showed up at panel discussions to share their views on “race science” and how Jews are secretly behind everything. They goose stepped around in the lobby of the hotel where the conference was held, greeting each other with “Sig Heils.” They made very liberal (conservative?) use of the n-word. Unless there is a revival of The Producers that we are not aware of, then these folks were dyed-in-the-wool Hitler fans.
Meanwhile, it is not like the conference was only attended by fringy elements of the GOP. Donald Trump spoke there, as did a whole bunch of wannabe running mates, along with Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Tommy Tuberville (D-AL), Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), and a host of other high-profile Republicans. Not one of them raised a word of objection to the Nazis in their midst, as far as we can discover. CPAC organizers denied yesterday that any Nazis were present, but… there’s video.
We wish we had something useful or insightful to say, but we really don’t. It’s absolutely reprehensible that these folks were not tossed out by the scruff of their necks, and anyone who participated in the conference this weekend should be ashamed of themselves for not denouncing the Nazis’ presence. Of course, it’s not like this is the first time the folks listed above have enabled this sort of behavior. (Z)

Because fascism and white supremacism have been mainstreamed. Bit by bit, with the aid of much of the GOP and a complacent media, they have made it acceptable to be openly Nazi.
Attacking them is seen as “intolerant” and denying them a platform is seen as “stifling free speech”.
Bartender explains why he swiftly kicks out Nazis even if they’re ‘not bothering anyone’
Back in 2017, when white supremacist Richard Spencer was socked in the face by someone wearing all black at Trump’s inauguration, it launched an online debate, “Is it OK to punch a Nazi?”
The essential nature of the debate was whether it was acceptable for people to act violently towards someone with repugnant reviews, even if they were being peaceful. Some suggested people should confront them peacefully by engaging in a debate or at least make them feel uncomfortable being Nazi in public.
So, we’ve been talking about what Trump owes and how he’d use GOP funds from the RNC and everywhere else to cover his staggering $464 million (and growing by $100k+ a day).
If, and this is a huge if, I think Trump is so fucking vindictive that he’d slash aid/funds that would go to NY/NYC by billions as revenge for being held accountable for his criminal conduct.
re: #63 Colère Tueur de Lapin ✅
To address the substance of the question, “Is it OK to punch a Nazi?”: Morally, it absolutely is. However, there are many morally correct choices in this world that are illegal, and come with real-world consequences. If you punch a Nazi, you will make the news. You will feel good about yourself. And you will get arrested. That is just the way of things.
The whole “Punch a Nazi” debate is a red herring.
Fascism and White Supremacy are anathema to everything America stands for (and has sent its young people to fight and die against) and should be treated accordingly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What can I say?
Democrats in the New York Legislature on Monday rejected a congressional map drawn by the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission, setting the stage for the party to craft lines that help Democrats in battleground House races that could determine control of Congress.The Democrat-dominated state Legislature will now have to submit and approve a new set of congressional lines, which is expected in the coming days. Republicans are already threatening a legal challenge.
Congressional races in New York, particularly suburban contests, are expected determine which party controls the House after the November elections, adding major significance to even the slightest tweaks in how districts are drawn.
Per GOPers claiming that the AL IVF decision isn’t going to close fertility clinics,
IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN ALABAMA!
Clinics have already closed. They’ve stopped procedures. Alabama families are struggling to find clinics in other states that might help them grow their families, because of the liabilities that might occur if Alabama extends their decision to affect out of state IVF procedures done by Alabama residents.

This is because the dystopia is already here and has been for 7 years. We are frogs in a boiling pot of water who barely even noticed it. The Federal Government is not functioning. It is barely breathing.
The current dystopia really started when Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016 despite his obvious character flaws, criminal activities, disgusting personality, incoherent policy proposals and straight up lie after lie. It had been building up for decades with utterly corrupt Republican Congressmen and SCOTUS Justices and James Comey was the single most important agent who brought it up on us.
The dystopia will sink into an abyss in 2025 should Trump win. No outlandish prediction will be outlandish enough.

Per GOPers claiming that the AL IVF decision isn’t going to close fertility clinics,
IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN ALABAMA!
Clinics have already closed. They’ve stopped procedures. Alabama families are struggling to find clinics in other states that might help them grow their families, because of the liabilities that might occur if Alabama extends their decision to affect out of state IVF procedures done by Alabama residents.

They hope no one notices that Dobbs has set off a race of these Christian fascists to impose their beliefs on everyone else through the rulings from SCOTUS on down.
They could follow the example of the Dems after Dobbs and propose federal legislation to protect IVF and doctors involved, they could reassure the public that their fears will not come to pass and their access to IVF procedures will be protected. Hell, it might be the most bipartisan act they’ve taken in the last 2 years.
That they’re not even suggesting such, but instead mumbling a few words and then bolting towards the nearest door, makes it clear that all they care about is the political fallout of their evangelical horseshit.

Just watched Joe Biden on Late NIght with Seth Meyers. He was outstanding. He had been on the show 10 years ago. They paled around a bit with Amy Poehler and then, after the commercial break, there was a real surprise.
Seth was freaking seriously asking important questions. And they had obviously asked the audience to be quiet for this. He asked about dictators. He asked about the economy. He asked what Biden wanted to accomplish in a second term,
And he asked about Israel-Gaza. Biden articulated a plan that fits the optimism he usually has. He said he had Saudis and Joardan ready to recoginize Israel. He talked abou a ceasefire to get the hostages out and that Israel would not do anything during Ramadan.
And he said that if the Israeli government continues (And he mentioned he has known every leader back to Meir and that it is horribly conservative) on the path it is one, it will lose the support of the nations it needs.
Plus he made fun of Trump. And brought out Dark Brandon. Seth did a better job interviewing Biden than virtually any of the pros.

The problem is the same as the Tories are dealing with right now with Islamophobia in their own ranks: If the CPAC leadership acknowledged that they’ve Nazis in their midst and kicked them out, then critics would point out the Nazis who escaped being kicked out while the Nazi supporters would pull out of CPAC until the whole thing was hollowed out.

The US government has suspended its effort to survey cryptocurrency mining operations over their ballooning energy use following a lawsuit from an industry that has been accused by environmental groups of fueling the climate crisis.A federal judge in Texas has granted a temporary order blocking the new requirements that would ascertain the energy use of the crypto miners, stating that the industry had shown it would suffer “irreparable injury” if it was made to comply.
The US department of energy had launched an “emergency” initiative last month aimed at surveying the energy use of mining operations, which typically use vast amounts of computing power to solve various mathematical puzzles to add new tokens to an
online network known as a blockchain, allowing the mining of currency such as bitcoin.The growth of cryptocurrency, and the associated mining of it, has been blamed for a surge in electricity use as data centers have sprung up across the US, even reviving, in some cases, ailing coal plants to help power the mining.

Microplastics have been found in every human placenta tested in a study, leaving the researchers worried about the potential health impacts on developing foetuses.The scientists analysed 62 placental tissue samples and found the most common plastic detected was polyethylene, which is used to make plastic bags and bottles. A second study revealed microplastics in all 17 human arteries tested and suggested the particles may be linked to clogging of the blood vessels.
Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. The impact on health is as yet unknown but microplastics have been shown to cause damage to human cells in the laboratory. The particles could lodge in tissue and cause inflammation, as air pollution particles do, or chemicals in the plastics could cause harm.
Huge amounts of plastic waste are dumped in the environment and microplastics have polluted the entire planet, from the summit of Mount Everest to the deepest oceans. People are known to consume the tiny particles via food and water as well as breathing them in, and they have been found in the faeces of babies and adults.
Prof Matthew Campen, at the University of New Mexico, US, who led the research, said: “If we are seeing effects on placentas, then all mammalian life on this planet could be impacted. That’s not good.”

I don’t know; that sounds like it’s probably illegal, and just like any court system, is vulnerable to being stacked by Republicans acting with ill intent.

If you went out on the street and asked a group of randomly selected people why the Ukraine aid bill has stalled in Congress, most would probably blame “Congress” and/or suggest that Biden was at fault.
I have some understanding of IVF as I know folks who went through the process. Even if you’re able to obtain good samples of sperm and viable eggs, they have to fertilize. The IVF center can examine the zygotes to determine if they’ll be viable, including checking for genetic disruptions that would cause spontaneous abortions (failing to gestate). That includes various trisomies.
IVF centers can do all they can to get a successful implantation, but even then, the embryo can fail to grow and gestate. You can get a spontaneous abortion at any stage in the 1st trimester (which for those that flunked math is 12 weeks - and many women don’t have regular periods or even know they’re pregnant during that time; those engaging in IVF will have regular testing to identify if they’re pregnant based on multiple factors).
With the Christian fascists playing fast and loose with the law and ignoring the science and medical practices, they’ll treat any IVF center that engages in these practices as committing homicide, even though the zygote or embryo has precisely zero chance of survivability even if implanted successfully.
They will shut down the industry that has accounted for 3% of all live births nationwide, allowing millions of families to grow.
These Christian fascists want to impose their worldview and beliefs on everyone else.
If they don’t want to utilize IVF - don’t. If you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one. But you’re violating my 1A rights by imposing your belief system on everyone else who actually does have religious beliefs that allow for IVF, reproductive care options, abortions, and health care for women.
Fuck the GOP and hold them accountable for their misogynistic worldview. Remind all women of what is at stake thanks to Trump and his Christian fascist judiciary from SCOTUS on down. We’re at this crossroads precisely because of what Trump and the GOP did to gerrymander SCOTUS to get 3 justices nominated by Trump and swinging the bench firmly to the fascist right for a generation to come. They own Dobbs and everything that flows from it. The AL IVF case explicitly mentions Dobbs as a rationale, and GOP dominated states around the nation are rushing to impose their own draconian anti-abortion rules, while the SCOTUS looks to further gut reproductive care options.

Ok. I’m officially declaring ice out on the neighborhood lake in northern Twin Cities MN suburb today. The lake is small and shallow so generally the first one in the region to ice out.
Last year was April 8. Average over the last 35 years is March 27. Previous outlier record was March 10 (next one is March 20). There is a caveat - could totally freeze over again and ice out day has to be adjusted to that date. It will be well below freezing tonight but I expect the early arriving ducks and geese will keep it from freezing over and forecast for rest of the week include mid- to upper-60s.

The sick part of of Dobbs and the Alabama ruling is that people like DJT can now position themselves as advocates of a “moderate approach” to the very fucking train wreck they are responsible for in the first place.
yeah, moderate compared to what?
there is only one ‘moderate approach’: it’s not any of your business
now that his star witness has been indicted for lying for the FBI, Comer says “everything that I’ve had to do with the FBI is suspicious” & “the trust level I have with the FBI is zero.”

I don’t have to go out on the street. My partner took a call from her mother while we’re in the car the other day; I’m driving, she’s the passenger.
I only caught the better half’s end of the convo, but Mom was freaking out about immigration and why won’t Congress do anything. Partner wasn’t up-to-speed on the whole deal, but pointed out there were bills before Congress and both were rejected.
Mom then complains that Biden should “do something” about Congress. Partner points out that Congress is a different branch and doesn’t report to the President. Conversation immediately shifts to something else.
A few clarifications/takeaways:
1. My partner doesn’t keep up on politics like I do, so when Mom has her freakouts, she doesn’t have ready answers for the bulkshit. That’s what makes these situations so difficult: you have to be a goddamn walking Wiki to combat this stuff. Which leads to…
2. Pointing out that Republicans spiked bills that favored them because Trump didn’t want Biden getting credit on immigration would have caused a massive meltdown. Classic boomerang effect: Mom cannot handle any challenges to her worldview. Also my partner can’t deal with anymore with Mom with this stuff. This woman is so thoroughly brainwashed by Fox News that I’m having a hard time seeing how this isn’t a cult at this point. Which leads to…
3. It’s absolutely amazing how little Fox reports on this stuff. It’s really instructive to see how they’re shaping their message to absolutely terrify elderly white conservatives into voting GOP. Doesn’t help that Mom is a raging narcissist who can’t be wrong about anything.
So that was fun.

Because fascism and white supremacism have been mainstreamed. Bit by bit, with the aid of much of the GOP and a complacent media, they have made it acceptable to be openly Nazi.
Attacking them is seen as “intolerant” and denying them a platform is seen as “stifling free speech”.

I had a gas company guy come to my house to relight some pilot lights after having my gas shut off for construction. He noted that my furnace was old, which it is since it’s original to the house built in 1973. He said these things should last forever except having to replace the thermocouple part occasionally, which is easily accessible. New furnaces, he said, aren’t made to be cheaply serviceable and that a new furnace, while very expensive, don’t last beyond 10 years, if you’re lucky. Brands don’t matter since they all build their units from the same parts.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Makes Bizarre Apology Speech After Misgendering Trans Lawmaker
State Sen. Danica Roem walked out of the chamber after she was called “sir.”
Virginia’s Republican lieutenant governor gave a strange apology speech Monday, shortly after misgendering a trans lawmaker in the state’s upper chamber.
The incident began with Democratic state Sen. Danica Roem asking Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears a question about the number of votes required for a bill to pass. “Yes sir, that would be 32,” Earle-Sears replied, prompting Roem to put down her microphone and walk out of the chamber.

High efficacy furnaces have more parts to fail. But in general most new appliances don’t last as long as older appliances.
I repair all our appliances but have replaced some older units as it became difficult to get parts (and expensive) to repair the old units.
And when other parts of the older units are worn and likely to fail, an expensive repair of one part doesn’t make sense

I’d be interested to know your experience with a shoulder replacement.

did i miss the great Native American / Christian War?
You must have: though it dragged on for a bit: from the attacks on Jamestown by the Powhatan confederacy in 1609 though the last battle at Wounded Knee in 1890: maybe not a formal “war” in the stock historical sense; but a conflict that flared up and settled back over the centuries, but never really went away. Till 1890.

Schumer says the meeting on Ukraine was one of the most intense he’s ever been part of… As they push House Speaker Mike Johnson to allow a vote on Ukraine aid.(Members of both parties believe aid would easily be approved, if a vote is allowed.)

re: #230 A Cranky One
High efficacy furnaces have more parts to fail. But in general most new appliances don’t last as long as older appliances.
I repair all our appliances but have replaced some older units as it became difficult to get parts (and expensive) to repair the old units.
And when other parts of the older units are worn and likely to fail, an expensive repair of one part doesn’t make sense
Yeah, that just happened to me, as well. My 12 year old washing machine stopped working. I replaced the straps that cushioned the tub but that didn’t fix it. I called a repair service but the guy told me the transmission was foobarred. Even if an old part could be found (it couldn’t) it was going to cost about the same, or more, as a brand new machine to repair.

re: #226 sizzzzlerz
Marvelous! Thanks for posting that.
Chuck Berry never traveled with a band. He expected the promoter to provide local musicians to back him and woe to them if they didn’t know his songs. These guys didn’t know the song (hard to believe!) but, being pros, they were able to immediately pick it up (in whatever key was finally chosen) and be able to improvise on it.
Springsteen must have played that song at some point. To your main point of Berry having no permanent band, Bruce tells a story of the E Street Band getting hired for a Berry gig and relying on their bass player, Gary Tallent, to shout out chord changes throughout the gig.

I now have 2 total shoulder replacements.
Pain wasn’t a big issue. It’s surprising but the shoulder wasn’t very painful after the surgery. There was a lot of bruising which was ugly but not really painful.
The full rehab takes about a year but with good PT, my first shoulder replacement greatly reduced the pain I experienced prior to the surgery. I was able to drive about six weeks after the surgery.
If a replacement was recommended, keep in mind that the rotary cuff could be damaged if the replacement isn’t done (additional wear and tear).
Rotary cuff damage is painful to repair.
I was lucky there was no damage but avoiding that damage was a motivation for the second replacement (in addition to reducing the pain from severe osteoarthritis).
re: #239 Eventual Carrion
No, not much at all. He was stationed in the Europe theater but he was given a Japanese sword by someone. He talked a bit about acquiring it but not much else about the war.
If he was hunting snipers he was in deadly combat. Given the intensity of those experiences, a lot of the folks who have experienced it are very reluctant to discuss it. And sometimes even to process the experiences. Our day-to-day language really is inadequate for these topics. And popular media fails to adequately convey it.

I buy the cereal in bags when it’s on sale. And yes, I’m eating more cereal than I used to. Not just because of the cost, but because it’s better than me saying, “nah, I can skip a meal.”
Speaking of skipping, I called in to work today as my acid reflux flared up badly overnight (probably just me stressing out over my brother). I have not heard anything yet this morning and I did text over. He was on no food, no water last night in anticipation of possible surgery.
It never ends, does it?

For years, my sister’s alma mater — Northwestern University — had a tenured professor Arthur Butz who was a Holocaust denier. But he was teaching engineering and there was no evidence that his offensive views affected his curriculum or classes. Jonathan Turley is in a different situation — there is no doubt that his outrageous views would impact how he teaches law. He is a terrible person inflicting damage on our nation with every word he speaks.
