Leonard Cohen not only saw COVID-19 coming in Everybody Knows, he predicted the Delta variant that’s keeping us from enjoying Hot Vax Summer.

I have to say that while I’m not in the habit of naming my possessions, I do have a garden tool named after her: Cyndi Lopper.

Yup, he didn’t set the prices, the gallery did. Unlike the Trumps, who jacked up rates at their own properties and made the Secret Service stay there to milk every last dollar out of the American taxpayer.

The coach for the national Olympic team and an athlete’s professional team are likely to be two different people, so it’s entirely possible that the rider here hasn’t had the opportunity to find out about this coach’s racism before.

In the US, flu vaccinations are paid either by a person’s insurance company or directly by the patient if they don’t have insurance. The story below mentions a $25 cost for paying out of pocket (that is, without insurance), but CVS’s price sheet lists $70 for adults. Healthcare pricing in the US is opaque, which…

I fixed him. Remember folks, the one on the left is the original!

That’s because there’s a good chance they’re already vaccinated. Notice how his spokesperson weasels around the question: “this is pro-freedom, not anti-vaccine.” The (marginally) smarter ones are finally realizing that it’s a bad idea to turn your own audience into a death cult, but bozos like Kirk still haven’t got…

According to the chyron, it’s the Right Side Broadcasting Network. Yeah, they’re multiplying like cockroaches.

So what do you do with the old pillow?

Use tahini, you heathens.

Last year during the nationwide George Floyd protests, some commenter(s) on Nextdoor got pretty agitated about seeing protesters outside our local police building and wondered how rioting like this could happen in such a nice suburb. It had to be explained to them that the protesters were doing nothing more than…

This is from one of the Jan. 6 participants: “We weren’t there to steal things. We weren’t there to do damage. We were just there to overthrow the government.”

Free app. Photo metadata. In other words, another “you’re not the customer, you’re the product” service?

Went to the museum yesterday. Had to, after a year and half of lockdown. And saw this pair of Cambodian sculptures, traveling from the Asia Society (and originally purchased by John D. Rockefeller III):

Does this actually stop the process from running (along with pinging the servers for news/weather updates), or are things still running in the background but just not displayed? If it’s the latter, is there a way to stop it completely?

Yeah, the CNN story didn’t mention anything about the Lewis & Clark statue, and Herron didn’t provide any links or background. From https://dailyprogress.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/charlottesville-takes-down-lewis-clark-sacagawea-statue/article_f18a2412-e197-11eb-9125-af845766cd9e.html

He sat down to pee, that’s the problem. Had he done his business standing up like a red-blooded American instead of your typical wuss European, this encounter wouldn’t have happened. STAND UP FOR YOUR BALLS.

Let’s read the 1836 Texas Declaration of Independence. It not only exposes the tyranny of Mexican leader Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, but also describes how Anglo Texans consistently bent and broke Mexican laws. In class, we can talk about how one of the laws that Texans violated was Mexico’s decade-old abolition…

Zuck (and his ilk) are in a position where no one dares to tell him he has bad ideas.

I learned from Giz.
