Fun with the Mercator Projection.

So, er… any outrage from the comrades on teh Twitt0rz about this, then?
Related, “social tumors”, China not fond of insufficiently revolutionary celebrities. Who says Hollywood can’t teach anyone anything?
Also related, a real shocker, Marcel Duchamp’s urinal* failed to win hearts and minds in Afghanistan. If only they had tried some performance interpretive dance the Tollybon wouldn’t have had a chance.

From the American Academy of Pediatrics, no less…

Promoting breastfeeding as “natural” may be ethically problematic, and, even more troublingly, it may bolster this belief that “natural” approaches are presumptively healthier. This may ultimately challenge public health’s aims in other contexts, particularly childhood vaccination.
They go on to note that this matters because a preference for natural things might then lead to other unhealthy preferences such as organic food, unfluoridated water, and even homeschooling.
The Long March never rests.

“Promoting breastfeeding as “natural” may be ethically problematic, and, even more troublingly, it may bolster this belief that “natural” approaches are presumptively healthier.”
Over the course of my lifetime so far, formula milk has gone from being officially superior, to frowned upon by all right-thinking people, to, it appears, officially superior. I think I’ve probably got enough time left for it to fall out of favour again.

So in the interest of content…Odd real estate listings being a thing here…now this place is kinda the opposite of what we generally see here. This place, the inside is very nice. Not exceptional, cheap appliances and such, but a good bit of money was poured into this, formerly commercial, building. Wife tells me the former business sold hiking related products. For $399K in this area you can find much nicer properties. Maybe not quite as big but definitely sufficient and in a much nicer location with a much nicer view and still close to town if that is what one needs. OTOH, this place is right next door to the post office and the local supermarket is right in your backyard.

If it was on the lake, maybe, but the chicken wire chifferobe is an interesting touch…

You cannot begin to fathom my astonishment at this revelation.

Give us this day, our daily pills
And lead us not into infection
But deliver us from all risk.
For the country, the power, and the culture are yours
now and for ever. Amen.
The Holy Lord Pfizer prayer, circa [current year]

If it was on the lake,…
Heh. That’s the even better part. It’s not even on the other side of the highway that the lake is on. To get to the lake, you cross the busy highway, past the hardware store and the church that sits between the archery store and the guns/ammo/fishing store, walk past numerous other businesses, city hall, the old jail, and about another half mile down to the end of a lakeside road. And I think that’s just a boat dock access. If this were on the lake and still close to the busy highway, you could get $500K for it. There’s a similar size property, though with added garage space and dock and such that is right off the highway, on the lake, with much nicer appliances and much nicer interior and much nicer curb appeal from the outside that sold for that much last year. Though I suppose there’s someone stupid enough, with that much money, that might buy it. I just don’t get who/how someone would have sunk that much money into risking it though. Just typing this out, it just occurred to me that the city got some insane improvement loan as part of this covid insanity to develop a ridiculous piece of commercial property nearby there that itself is a huge waste of money. A very ugly space, a “historic” building, crammed between two crappy old buildings, that last I heard they were going to put an open air rooftop bar or restaurant in. Because “historic”.

… but the Ivy League diplomats…
Take up the faculty lounge burden,
Send forth ye profs and TA,
Go with the NGOs fantasize,
Of genders and pronouns,
But wonder at the end of day,
That Afghans think you clowns.

Time for a few days off, I think.
Good for you David. Me, as well. I hope you have a lovely time off.

It is possible, of course, to believe that concerns about pedophilia are disproportionate, and one might wish to discuss policy about related issues in a disinterested way. For example, many people have noted how travesties of justice like the McMartin Preschool Case were fueled by exaggerated fears, fueled by nonsense theories of “suppressed memory,” etc. But it is a completely different thing when, as in the case of Noah Berlatsky, someone starts arguing that the real problem is not pedophilia, but rather the “stigma” attached to pedophilia. Really? You want to destigmatize pedophilia?

travesties of justice like the McMartin Preschool Case were fueled by exaggerated fears, fueled by nonsense theories of “suppressed memory,” etc.
It’s significantly worse than that. The children in question testified to multiple things that were physically impossible, and yet law enforcement and the DA investigated them as if they were unvarnished fact. That case is (now) a textbook example of the state run amok, and in retrospect it is obvious that the whole thing was started by a bitter ex-wife making false accusations to wrench custody away from her ex-husband. Why anyone took her insane claims seriously from the get-go remains a mystery.
From wikipedia: Johnson also made several more accusations, including that people at the daycare had sexual encounters with animals, that “Peggy drilled a child under the arms” and “Ray flew in the air.” Ray Buckey was questioned, but was not prosecuted due to lack of evidence.
…of flying, one presumes.

Not a cult, someone actually published this.

A new plot twist for the new Texas abortion law.
“I, a transwoman…So while I can’t get pregnant, I’m still a woman, thus believed inferior.”
No, sweetie, we don’t think you’re inferior because you’re a woman (which you aren’t.) We think you’re inferior because you’re batshit insane.

“I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.”

People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person.

Odd take.

Actually it’s probably more of a lateral move, quality-wise.
