When this popped up on my feed, I screamed "blasphemy" and was about to put my bowling-ball fist through the monitor. Then I actually listened to it.
Damn. It works!
Obviously, it should go without saying that "Bauhaus" (well, the vocals of Peter Murphy) does a lot of heavy lifting. Oh, and the scantily clad go-go dancers help, too.

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
Having listened to the whole of that "Why I'm a Conservative" talk, I wonder whether one thing that has changed might not be this. For a long time, politics in our civilization has been split into the forces of progress, and the forces of reaction, of conservatism. Everybody is moving, very broadly, in one direction, and it's really an argument about the speed of the change and the details of the implementation. I wonder now if we haven't moved into a mode where we are at a crossroads and disagree fundamentally on the direction forward.

Breaking: Special Counsel Finds Mark Zuckerberg’s Election Money Violated Wisconsin Bribery Laws
MARCH 01, 2022
Nearly $9 million in Zuckerberg grant funds directed solely to five Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin violated the state’s election code’s prohibition on bribery. That conclusion represents but one of the many troubling findings detailed in the report submitted today by a state-appointed special counsel to the Wisconsin Assembly.
....
While the special counsel’s nearly 150-page report closed with recommendations for the state’s legislative body, Gableman stressed from the get-go that the report did not seek to re-analyze the re-count that occurred in late 2020. Nor was the report’s purpose to challenge certification of the presidential election....
From the details exposed in Monday’s special counsel report, the state legislature has much work to do to address “the numerous questionable and unlawful actions of various actors in the 2020 election.” The first unlawful action, according to the report, concerned the payment of grant funds to five Wisconsin counties that were used to facilitate voting. That arrangement, Gableman wrote, violated Wis. Stat. § 12.11, which prohibits election bribery by providing it is illegal to offer anything of value to or for any person in order to induce any elector to go to the polls or vote.
According to the report, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg providing financing that allowed the Center for Tech and Civic Life to offer nearly $9 million in “Zuck Bucks” to Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay counties. In exchange, the “Zuckerberg 5,” as the report called the counties, in effect, operated Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts. Those grant funds then paid for illegal drop boxes to be placed in Democratic voting strongholds.
The illegal use of drop boxes represented a second area of concern to the special counsel’s office. The report notes state election code limits the manner in which ballots may be cast, providing that an elector must personally mail or deliver his or her ballot to the municipal clerk, except where the law authorizes an agent to act on the behalf of the voter.
The Zuckerberg 5 also violated the federal and state constitutional guarantee of equal protection, according to the special counsel report. The grant money targeted specific voters for special voting privileges, to the disadvantage of similarly situated voters located in other Wisconsin counties. The report also detailed troubling evidence the Zuckerberg 5 counties allowing private groups working with the granting organization, the Center for Tech and Civic Life, to “unlawfully administer aspects of the election,” including in one county where one organization was unlawfully embedded in local government election administration.
The special counsel’s report also highlighted the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) illegal directive to clerks to ignore the state election code governing voting in nursing homes. In several nursing home locations throughout the state, 100 percent of registered voters cast a ballot in the 2020 election—an unheard-of rate that included many ineligible voters.
Non-citizen and incapacitated citizens also remained listed on Wisconsin’s voting rolls, in violation of the law, according to the report. Because some non-citizens qualify for driver’s licenses, the law requires non-citizens’ names be removed from the master roll, but that was not done, according to the special counsel. Likewise, individuals declared incompetent must, by law, be removed from the master list, but again that did not occur.
Special Counsel Gableman detailed many other substantial problems with the 2020 election, but equally troubling to the widespread violations of election law established in the report were the attempts by government officials to impede the investigation. Both the Wisconsin Election Commission and the state attorney general “have refused to cooperate with the Legislature’s investigation and actively obstructed it,” according to the report, with a separate appendix detailing how the Office of Special Counsel and the state Assembly have been blocked from investigating portions of the Wisconsin government.

Conservatism, even though the party is slooooowly changing (as the night wears on), quite likes things the way they are. Sure, the music is a bit too loud, the booze is room temperature and some of those people over there might be smoking dope...but on the whole, it's a pretty good party.
Progressivism wants to crash the party, steal the booze (all property is theft, white boy), swap the snacks for vegan/soy based mush and it wants to switch off the music, turn up the lights and pass the karaoke mic to Rebecca Watson so she can recount the time she was almost raped in an elevator. Not only that, it has brought its friends along - ANTIFA, BLM, Feminism, Communism and many other unwashed degenerates who want to fuck things up, shit in the kettle and rape the family dog. Because parties are white supremacy or some other bullshit like that.
Pace, in my very stupid analogy, is important but there's a fuck-load more to it than that.
As you suggest, the direction and details of the change (and the motives of the people crying for that change) are starting to move into pole position. I think the internet, for all of its p0rn, memes, viciousness and trolling, has opened the eyes of a lot of people and is responsible for their political awareness.
But hey, these are just the ramblings of a wet-cake-brained dunce.

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
My understanding on mask efficacy.
Pre-2020 studies. There are surprisingly few, and with very mixed results. Most are among health care workers, and so aren't necessarily applicable to the wider population. The typical result was that surgical masks had low efficacy. There's a handful of outliers that show a much larger result, but they are typically observational studies, not randomised control studies. This makes sense, given the purpose of surgical masks is not to prevent infection by airborne diseases, but to prevent surgeons from accidentally spitting in their patient. There's hardly any on cloth mask use, and one of the few even showed that cloth masks are counter productive, meaning health workers were more likely to catch a respiratory virus by wearing them, but again, the effect size was small. There's also little evidence that respirators are significantly better than surgical masks. That said, the efficacy for mask use seems strongest under the particular circumstances when they are warn for short periods when entering an area where there is known to be an infected person and disposed of immediately afterwards.
After 2020, there are still only two randomised control studies on mask efficacy, and both are in the wider population, not just health care workers. The Danish study was powered to find a 50% efficacy for masking, and failed to find that masks were at least that effective. The Bangladesh study found an effect size in the higher end of the pre-2020 studies, but also found that the colour of the mask effected efficacy. It has additional problems, as it is unclear how transferable results from a rural third world country apply to an urban, highly vaccinated first world country. All the rest of the studies are observational and suffer from numerous problems, from cherry picking the time frame to prove whatever result you want, to it being hard to isolate the mask as the variable being studied.
From all that, I'd say that if masks prevent infection among the general population, the effect size is small. I'd further say that we don't actually know what the answer is and it is a tragedy that the last two years weren't used to answer that question properly for future reference. My own suspicion is that it isn't the masks themselves that prevent infection, but the behavioural change associated with them. If you have to wear a mask to go out, a significant number of people will be less inclined to go out. Additionally, seeing another person in a mask makes you more likely to keep your distance. Finally, and probably most importantly, requiring masks allow the government to deflect blame from itself: "Infections are going up? It isn't that our policies have run the health care system into the ground, that's because you fuckers didn't wear your masks!"
Mask wearing isn't zero cost either. There is mounting evidence that they are particularly deleterious for children who are still learning to speak, not to mention that over 1 billion disposable masks have already ended up in the oceans, and as they are largely plasticised with loops, are going to kill a lot of sea life.

Obama ran a beta of that in 2012 in North Carolina. Huge numbers of nursing home residents and institutionalized retards voted for Obama.
And the 2010 Census was restructured to maximize collection of names & addresses at the expense of collecting useful demographic data. Wonder why?

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
I dunno... that's a pretty good turnout, for an event which the organizer Cancelled Last Week
I mean, back-when he announced the cancellation, he said he had "done a lot of work" and "already spent the money" to obtain the permit-- so he was going-to "express my free speech rights and speak from the stage", anyway. Why not?
A whole Biden-rally of National Press showed-up.
Free publicity.
___________
I already know it's futile... but I can't help but wonder... what on earth free_pedophilethoughts sees in this video?
A lack of enthusiasm, over here, on this-side of the debate?
Or... are ya gloating that the fence around the capitol mall & the national guard presence "worked"?
The comments under the Daily Beast tweet... contain a whole lotta Yellow & Blue Ukrainian patriotism emojis... No :flags-waveusa:
And the I <3 Ukraine Brigade... doesn't feel compelled to match their somber Ukraine attitude... by reeling-in their usual, leering soyface cackling... against those "redneck truckers" and "Anti-Vaxxers" and "anti-maskers" etc.
Not the slightest pause-- to consider the brutality & tyranny-- unleashed by their counterparts in Ottawa.
I just don't think this is how to win friends & influence people.

Years ago-- I heard a pornstar-on-a-podcast describe a product called 'Caverject' which might harden you up. Or not-- maybe you'd need that + a cock ring to hold pressure. And.. since the stuff works by temporarily turning the blood in your peen-- into a high-volume whipped mousse... I wonder how safe it is when that blood re-enters general circulation? If you do try Caverject, please report your results. I'm fascinated. It's prescribed to paralyzed below-the-waist guys. But male pornstars use it... and the podcast chick said she hated it. Turned dicks into petrified sticks.

Maybe because you refuse to define, or understand, what is meant by the phrase "masks work" - they don't have to block the dispersion of ALL virus particles, only that they're better than nothing - more or less ...
But the article in question from Forbes that I'd posted last August:

You might actually try reading it and looking at the photos of dispersion around mask edges. Hardly perfect but any reduction is likely to reduce the replication rate. Which has some relevance to epidemiology.

"AFV Recognition" was a massive part of my skillset for years and years. At a basic level, it's the ability to glance at a piece of war-fighting equipment (tanks, jets, APC's, helo's etc) and instantly I.D. the bugger to determine its friend/foe status. Obviously, as a tank commander, I had to be pretty damned good at the subject and rarely (if ever) fucked up on a dry test.fuzzy wrote: ↑ Her husband was an extraordinary man, apparently he could count cards while nobody noticed in all kinds of games, and became well known for autistically learning the manuals and knowing right where to look for what needed to be looked up, from what I'm told was actually part of the FBI plane airplane checkup crew that met personally with President Ronald Reagan when he flew into California having opportunity to chat with Reagan.
Anyway, reason I mention this, one of our guys, a very strange/introverted dude, was like a jedi master at AFV-Rec. He could glance at a wagon and instantly bark out the make, the model, the nationality (or plural) and then rattle off a laundry list of reasons why the vehicle was what he claimed it to be - number or roadwheels, displacement of return rollers, configuration of ERA, length of AE, shape of skirting plates etc.
Turns out, he's autistic as fuck, has a near photographic memory and used to entertain himself as a child by reading books and magazines about military kit.
It's a funny old world... :doh:

Ukrainian resistance is beginning to collapse. Following another day or two of bombardment, the Russians will advance on all axes. Kiev will be surrounded. Will Zelensky stay, or continue to fight from Lvov?
The opportunity to broker a peace has passed. Putin will achieve most of his goals. Ron Klain, Susan Rice, Obama, or whoever the fuck is running this country, will be pleased.

Fuck ALL the nuns!
Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
Jesus. Horrible flash back.
My mother-in-law was in the hospital for a heart attack. So we rushed to be with her. I noticed a nun going into one of the hospital rooms. As we left from talking to a doctor I glanced into the room the nun had entered. The nun was there... fully naked. She was about 60 years old and had massive sagging breasts. And she looked right at me... as I looked at her. AHHHH. What a strange thing. An old giant naked drop bressted nun staring right at me. Haha. Oh shit.
Lesson learned. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE ROOMS AT THE HOSPITAL!

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
Regarding the paper:
Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine among children 5-11 and 12-17 years in New York after the Emergence of the Omicron Variant
Dr. Malone offers an unsolicited, model peer review of the paper:

Below is a blown-up thumbnail. (I looked back in my browser history & could not retrieve the full-resolution version.)
But even the blurry chart is clear-enough to see:
plotting the paper's week-to-week numbers on Incidence Rate Ratio vs. Vax/Unvax status--
shows that the Vax'd group falls well-into NEGATIVE effectiveness by Week 6.

I was gonna channel John and tell zoo goo to lick my ass, but then I remembered he wears a face diaper so it really wouldn't do much for me.
Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
zoo goo can suck my ass... even with a mask. Politicians intentionally misrepresent the truth so they can impose fiats to prove they are useful. This is clearly the case with masks. If they work... they do almost nothing... and perhaps they don't work at all. This is clear. If mask where as effective as "they" say every study would show a positive result. What we really have is a mix of study results where some are positive and some negative... and most of the studies are shit.
In general, masking is used as a kind of theatre to appease paranoid soccer moms and other people who have very high sensitivity to invisible safety concerns. "Think of the children" they say. Haha. Yeah... bitches... think of the children because you are fucking them up by making them wear masks.
Fuck off world!

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
Yes, it's becoming increasingly evident that Biden's handlers did all in their power to encourage a Russian invasion of Ukraine as a 'wag the dog by proxy' -- for the sole purpose of giving Dementia Joe something to talk about in the SOTU other than his string of complete fuck-ups over the past year.
Get that, Ukrainians? Your country got fucked in the ass for a few hours of spin on the MSM news shows.

Trump is largely out-of-the-picture... not on TV, not a candidate, not in-power, not on Twitter.
What's the Michael Malice quote? "Democrats thought Trump was The Flood... but he was actually The Dam."
(e.g. When Trump was around-- his pro-Israel policies & Jewish family-- put a limit on the jew-hating edgelord bile.)
The vacuum-of-power (vacuum-of-charisma?) ... results-in 'Putin Is The New Trump' among the lost-boy edgelords.
And they suddenly HATE Ukraine, beyond sanity.[/size]

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
whoops... I had more to add to that:
Bickering with the Putin-simps today... I was disheartened that they didn't-even defend their position with /pol manifestos.
They just called me 'faggot' & 'jew'.
I think their opinion has hardened-into an article-of-faith.
(Like the 'Trans Women Are Women!' crowd. ...it doesn't matter how cogent your dissent might be... they feel no-need to listen so-as-to craft an appropriate reply. Because they've got an automatic rebuttal for all-occasions: "TERF!" )

RE: Message from NYS DOL: Action Required – PUA Eligibility Documentation (14 hours ago)
Dear New Yorker,
Our records show that you received Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits for one or more weeks between December 27, 2020 and September 5, 2021. According to federal law, you must now provide documentation to verify that:

Claimants who received a week or more of unemployment benefits on or after December 27, 2020 must send in documentation. You must do this even if you believe you have provided this information before.
If you fail to provide your documentation to substantiate your employment, self-employment, or the planned beginning of employment or self-employment prior to the COVID-19 pandemic by June 1, 2022, you will be issued an appealable determination.

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
Boston Globe says this happened in Massachusetts too, last month.
The Biden Admin tried-to retroactively locate PUA benefit fraud. --By demanding Everybody prove they Weren't guilty of fraud. (Resulting in class-action lawsuits against the govt, for violating Presumption of Innocence)
383,000 people in Massachusetts faced $2.6 billion of possible repayments. NOT due to fraud, but due-to Govt Error:
"The [Massachusetts] DUA routinely made overpayments prior to the pandemic. But the money on the line now — often $20,000 or more — is much larger than in the past. That’s because federal payments boosted benefits, and because it took the state a long time to recheck eligibility on the mountain of pandemic unemployment claims as required by the feds"
So the Biden Bureaucrats had to issue 'new guidance' allowing the state to waive the repayments-- which Biden's prior-guidance had required.
My guess-is... New York is putting a band-aid on the shitshow... by making everyone jump thru this Email hoop. That-way... they can issue an "appealable determination" of guilt. Bye-bye presumption of innocence.
If ya ask me-- this dances real-close to violating the 5th Amendment. Silence is interpreted as evidence of guilt.

Re: Steerzing in a New Direction...
I don’t think a stalemate or Russian defeat are options. But it’s a victory of sorts that no major border city has fallen yet and Kiev is forcing reactions from the Soviet-lites. The longer Ukraine holds out the more supplies they get for the next phase. And the less credibility Russia retains.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑ Today's Ukraine update. Not promising.
