Surprising the Democrats that the Republicans won. In Republican districts. In Florida.

Not surprising anyone else.

Up until these special elections the Democrats were all about "Three seats! We only have to flip THREE!"

If someone else spilled it accidentally, you'd be fine, but because he asked the question here, there's evidence of malice aforethought. :)

Freedom comes at a cost, what you want is for other people to shoulder the burden and take care of you and that's not an option beyond a certain age, and having someone do that for you also comes at a cost.

Your basic needs will be met either in the military or in prison, but that's not freedom.

You can get a job and pay for your basic needs on your own, which while also not freedom, is still better than the military or prison. :)

You can enroll in college and have food/shelter taken care of, but if you don't have a job to pay for it, you'll bury yourself in debt, paying for your freedom now, with debt chains later.

The control group would be people vaccinated who never got covid.

If the premise is long covid is caused by the vaccine, and some vaccinated people never got any form of covid (Hi! That's me!) then you can be reasonably sure the vaccine doesn't cause long covid.

Similarly if you have people with long covid who never got the vaccine. They got covid, then long covid. That would mean the vaccine is not a factor in long covid.

According to this site:

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3304767/us-cyber-expert-wang-xiaofeng-took-singapore-job-fbi-raids-university-letter

He took a job with a university in Singapore, which triggered his current university to terminate him with a "do not re-hire" flag.

So that doesn't explain the FBI raid, but it does explain why he was scrubbed from his current university.

I can't recall if I already banned them here or not for their genocide apologia. I did just ban them in politics for that bullshit.

Aha, somebody else did it 7 months ago.

Vast majority of the subsequent feedback seems to be overwhelmingly negative. Good job Oregon!

 

Garth Ennis spins a zombie tale, only instead of zombies, it's every infant in the world under the age of 1 suddenly turned into raging non-verbal adults.

 

Quote is from Fetterman, but he's not wrong here.

 

Personal for me since my daughter in law is from there. She's trying to reach out but a) infrastructure damage and b) everyone else is trying too.

Edit Map for those unfamiliar. Epicenter was NW of Sagaing, close to Mandalay, pretty much dead center of the country.

Buildings ~~damaged~~ completely collapsed as far away as Bangkok.

See dots on map.

Update from my daughter in law:

"I just spoke with my mom. Fortunately, my family is safe, but there are some damages to our house (Yangon) and my dad’s office (Naypyidaw).

I’ve heard that it is worse in Bangkok. My second brother is currently visiting there, and my family is trying to reach him."

If anyone needs a list for protest action, it's super cool for the White House to put it all in one place.

I haven't made these... YET... but they look AMAZING.

 

"The bottom line shocks the conscience. Records KATU obtained from Multnomah County show Portland’s 20 largest office spaces had a combined market value of $3 billion in 2019. The value dropped to $1.3 billion in 2024.

“I honestly did not expect us to lose that much value in the downtown core and the commercial sector,” Portland City Councilor Mitch Green."

Found bags of this at our local hardware store(?) and were like "We have to try this!"

Despite the name, you mix the mix with beer. Yes, they have a pairing chart. For non-alcoholic options, you can use other sparkling beverages, for the cranberry/orange loaf I used a sparkling pear.

Came out super tasty. More dense than "bread" bread, almost a cornbread or banana bread texture. Which makes sense since there was no rising time.

 

 

Side note: The neighborhoods in and around Portland International Raceway have been HISTORICALLY neglected, going back to the bad old days of Vanport.
