Watching Macbeth 7 times in 5 days can help. I'm sure it does! Which reminds me of an annoyance in some screen dramas: directors will sometimes only show something for the briefest of moments even though it is relevant to a plot point, such as the character having keys/gun/notebook/McGuffin, the ch...

Thanks Somerset, good point, I guess I was thinking only of federal laws but of course state laws are an important factor and I think someone upthread mentioned California's anti-SLAPP provisions.

Based on news reports (I haven't read the ruling) the judge's reasoning seems to be "you tried to make this laws difficult to challenge in court with its bizarre construction — no, no, no, you're not scoring on that trick play." The state's argument for staying the injunction could be amus...

Skin tone.

I know Anthony Williams is an unpleasant person and most definitely a criminal, but the 35 years sentence seems wholly excessive to me, and inhumane. Especially when compared with the teeny tiny sentences that many insurrectionists received or will receive, and the complete absence of punishment for...

I hadn't heard about the historic water samples, Lani, thanks for that. It's cool what can be done when clever people start looking and thinking.

Sometimes when I (very much a non-lawyer) read such documents I wonder "was it really necessary or appropriate for the judge – or, more probably, the judge's clerk – to write so much text about such a simple decision?" Yeah, I get that a simple "Granted" might be a little too suc...

Speaking of King Lear... A couple of weeks ago, Jim (the SO) and I watched the Soviet produced film of King Lear (1971) . Subtitled of course, I don't speak Russian. It was quite well done and nicely shot. I had forgotten how depressing King Lear was though. I always completely lose the plot when w...

She'll probably have to pay more for insurance. :batting: Update/Correction: Ol ' Wifehorn says the new job has health insurance. We LOST a client. But y'know how that works - none of her friends or family will be able to buy health insurance from anybody else. Long-term, it's good for biznis too a...

I have a friend who has been diagnosed with and received disability for rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. She had covid. She no longer has symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia. She is working full time and very active. :shrug: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, fibromya...

The Guardian has a piece about another symptom or side effect of the virus: 'Covid toe' may be side-effect of immune response, says study . Covid Toe is red or purple lesions on the sole or sides of the feet, similar to chilblains. As its headline indicates, this fits the pattern of most serious Cov...

I don't remember anything about exhumations, but I remember hearing/reading about tests of stored blood samples that had been taken from patients who died during that period and some showed signs of the virus.

:bag: Apologies for the threadjack, I was musing on the reason why the absence of basic critical thinking skills is so prevalent in America, and any divergence or questioning is suppressed in the Trumpist Sphere. Clearly that is a generic issue, not germane to the specifics of the Assault on the Cap...

Absolutely no.

We empowered the ignorant and I'm really getting tired of it, to be honest. Yabbut it's not simple ignorance. Ignorance is not having information or knowledge, and perhaps making bad decisions because of that. All of us are ignorant of many things. Theirs is something different: it's a wilful denia...

ANTI-VAXX PROTESTER: Do you see all of these homeless people around. Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?

HOMELESS PERSON (walking by): Because I’m vaccinated you dumb fuck.

AAAGGGHHHH!!! Proof that vaccines cause homelessness!!

Yes, that seems correct. It acts against actively replicating virus. Pfizer say: We have designed PF-07321332 as a potential oral therapy that could be prescribed at the first sign of infection, without requiring that patients are hospitalized or in critical care. The trial includes symptomatic non-...

if my molecules were reassembled would I be me or a different person who looks and acts like me. If you're buried, you'll be disassembled and absorbed by bacteria, fungi, worms and insects, then by plants (if they die and rot) or birds or small mammals (if they are predated), which might travel aro...

My son has also refused to get the vaccine even though we told him that once chemo starts all un-vaxxed people are off limits for me. Apparently, his "prinicples" are more important than I am because, not only is he still refusing but he wants to "make us understand" why he thin...

Absolutely, Northland, and, as you say, wholly baffling to those of us in SaneWorld. No objective evidence supports their anti-lib hatred, the sky hasn't taken on their heads in any way: no gun control, no Sharia law, no forced vaccination, no banning of Christianity, no anti-white police state, no ...

Fair point, bob! Yeah, I was thinking of the Taitz, Booth, Apuzzo, Laity, Sibley, Zullo, etc. clown shows. They lost nothing other than filling fees (plus some sanctions for Orlena, of course), gained fame amongst their small fan club of no-hope fuckwits and some managed a little grift on the side. ...

Buying a vaccination card is really the height of RWNJ dumbfuckery! It's not like, say, buying a fake college diploma or insurance certificate, something difficult or expensive to obtain that might be useful or valuable. No, the RWNJ dumbfucks spend good money to avoid obtaining something that is us...

I enjoyed reading this. But, a question. Am I right in understanding this pill works specifically on the virus, in other words, it has to be in your system. It is not a prophylactic, like the vaccine. So, that means taking this only after exposure or a positive test? I still like the idea of it but...

In short, what Pulitzer proposes is a new form of high-tech forensic analysis which can be a vital empirical tool for objectively determining the route a ballot paper took from being printed, sent to the voter, handled by the voter, returned by mail, processed by ballot handlers and counted by a Do...
