Friday Ephemera
Half-speed Frakes has apparently been on a bender. (h/t, Damian) || Strange beings detected. || I think I heard something moving in the basement. || Penguins descending. || A brief history of pandemics. (h/t, Dicentra) || Sounds from the toilet-paper apocalypse. || Yes, Picard is still bad. || Actual prancing. || “Post-capitalist” streaming service: “Live weekly shows covering news, the working class, gaming and sports.” || Leggy redhead. || Ladies got moves. || Only 377. || Bosch bingeing imminent. || The simple pleasures of baking. || These things happen. || Also, these things. || A lady with unusual drawers. || Daughter happy, wife displeased. || And finally, nature’s pecking order, a brief illustration.
I do rather like the post-capitalist streaming service, totally reliant on the intervening internet built by capitalists, and the viewing devices built by capitalists.
the post-capitalist streaming service,
Going under in 3… 2…
I posted this at thenewneo.com specifically about HCQ and Azithromycin:
A French “Non-randomized clinical study” using HCQ and Azithromycin.

Note the graphs.
Somewhere in the various tweet threads or the NY Post article is a discussion of the possible effect from the Azithromycin, which is an antibacterial. Basically it also reduces lung tissue inflammation which appears to reduce virus uptake.
And there’s a massive amount of info here:
the white house released all the paperwork for the AI people to go through to find such things… you can locate it on Kaggle..
https://www.kaggle.com/allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House and a coalition of leading research groups have prepared the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). CORD-19 is a resource of over 44,000 scholarly articles, including over 29,000 with full text, about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related coronaviruses.
but on my browser the lady with unusual drawers is still showing their contents to passers-by.
So describe these unusual artifacts that we cannot see.
David, did my post about the french HCQ trial and some other links get jammed up?

Well, they’re a bit tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk. The whole lot of them, axshully.

Freed.

Ah, this then:

Your new dietary must … the totwaffle.
Thank god; for a moment I read that as “twatwaffle.”
sadly, it’s been cropped so you can’t see the young woman who may or may not have been a factor in the driver’s otherwise bewildering failure to notice a large, quite solid pole.
When the driver’s door opened, I made a bet that he had a phone in his hand. I was not disappointed.
They drink more that you do.
Ah, this then:
There you go. D’you…. d’you want to come back to my place?
The panic buying is bizarre.
I went to a grocery store today that was sold out of toilet paper (obviously) and also Greek yogurt and shredded cheese – but not cold medicine.
“I wouldn’t have thought that self-respect is all that easy to live without.”
That is hilarious and true!
. . . Thanks for the replacement copy – though, sadly, it’s been cropped . . .
Hmmm. Barring something odd with links, I’m still gettting what appears to be an original and uncropped copy . . .
. . . and also Greek yogurt . . .
One of my local stores sells small cups of Greek yogurt with pomegranate bits. What is never explained is that once one has had one such cup and bits, how many months of the year is one going to spend in the underworld.
Oh, Hal, haven’t you heard? This spring, the underworld is coming to us..!
Looks to me like that bloke was driving straight into the sun and was blinded.
Also, of course, phone in hand.
And the woman…
And there’s probably a cup of coffee in the car…
And probably NPR on the radio…
My father once told me that a big chunk of the airplane crashes he investigated ended with the plane hitting the ground because no one was actually flying it at the time. Too busy looking at cockpit alarms or talking to ATC.

Oh, what I’ve been noticing since the nineteen empties is that we’ve already had zombies wandering the streets and sitting behind steering wheels of cars in motion, covid-19 is just being an additional layer . . .
