I’ve Locked The Liquor Cabinet
Time for a few days off, I think. A long weekend. Play nicely. Use coasters.

Britspeak or actual quote?
Dunno, I copypasted it from library catalog, which I presume copypasted from publisher’s description. But the publisher is Quirk, based in Philly; and a not-too-cursory glance at their website I don’t see any more Britspellings. Must be gremlins.

The outer islands and Crown Dependencies, still generating Ealing comedy scenarios as late as the 1990’s. For my fantasy Ealing film, I cast: Peter Sellars as Gardes, John Gregson as Constable Perrée, Muriel Pavlow as Mrs Perrée, Raymond Huntley as the Magistrate, Richard Wattis as The Man from the Foreign Office, and Stanley Holloway as the Seigneur.

I’ve become too cynical, but does the timing of the Supreme Court’s abortion decision in the wake of the Afghanistan debacle strike anyone as odd? The software-company slack group I use for my leftwing pulse taking was suddenly silent the past few weeks, and just today have relished having a government grievance to discuss again.
strike anyone as odd?
Well, you’d have to back up a bit and realize the timing at SCOTUS had everything to do with Texas Gov Abbott’s signing of the bill.
Also, I bet none of the foaming-at-mouth pro-abortionists have taken 30 seconds to realize that SCOTUS did NOT rule on the bill, but it has everything to do with a procedural issue.
Even without this latest kerfuffle, the Pravda Media was already pivoting from Afghanistan. The Feds are “cleansing” the internet of any documentation of military hardware left behind and stories of the dead 13 are only appearing in local media. And not one story, video showing all those rescued Americans returning home.
This has got to be memory-holed and a Biden success narrative created in time for the mid-terms.

Every day I thank my lucky stars I work for a company owned by an income trust that cares about profit first, foremost and f*ck your virtue signaling.
The last quarterly meeting the CEO said explicitly that the company will never ask you for your vaccination status nor make anything contingent upon it.
Now that Australia has taken this step will it ever be able to stop?
No, but the secret is never getting tested but if you have to, making sure your phone has an unfortunate wallaby accident.
Future phones will be preloaded with an undeletable version.
Future being now. I recently had a friend whose phone was on its last legs and as he is not particularly tech savvy was helping him get a new one (an Android phone) as private as possible. However, when the sim card was put in, he hit (despite my telling him it was not a wise choice) the “update” notification and a ‘rona tracking app was installed. Time for Lineage on that phone.
Not quite the burn Maddow feelz it is …
In much the same vein…
What? Options? Unpossible.
This has got to be memory-holed and a Biden success narrative created in time for the mid-terms.
Consult your crystal balls and put on your Kremlinologist hats everyone. Will the coof-doom propaganda in the US:
a) Ramp up ahead of the midterms, allowing election fortification but inviting blame for not mitigating the worst virus ever
2) Lessen in the meantime, allowing Biden to put his foot on the coof dragon’s corpse and claim temporary victory
D) Keep up until they can find something to replace it with for a couple months
Make your predictions now or miss the opportunity to revel smugly in your superior foresight!
I’d like to apologize in advance for this one:

“California has the strictest and most comprehensive voting system testing, use, and requirements in the country, and it was designed to withstand potential threats,” Dresner said in a statement to the AP.
Yeah, sure, that’s the ticket.
California mailed out a ballot to EVERY registered voter (requested or not). We also can download and print ballots at home.
I mean, what could go wrong?
PS — ballots are returned via a prepaid envelope so no postmark BUT ballots will still be accepted via mail at the registrar’s office for a full week after the Sept 14 deadline …
The fix is in. No white supremacists in blackface will be allowed!

The software-company slack group I use for my leftwing pulse taking was suddenly silent the past few weeks, and just today have relished having a government grievance to discuss again.
A former colleague, who has worked on books with a prominent software guru, sort-of (likely former) friend, quasi-moderate-to-conservative (supposedly hates communism because his dad escaped from it), and owner of a small but profitable consulting business recently announced, out of nowhere, recently posted (now apparently deleted) how ashamed he was of his home state of Texas over this abortion thing. I’m thinking….Austin? You’ve lived in bloody Austin…and Portland, OR as well…but nothing going on there has embarrassed you? But this does…it’s bizarre.
As for predictions…I have noted for years that any time conservatives…”conservatives” or the GOP get any sort of cultural traction, the issue of abortion, abortion, abortion must be raised. If not by the D’s, the R’s are perfectly willing to fall on that sword. I generally don’t say these things this boldly out loud but that’s my prediction. Abortion from now until Nov. 2022. With some sort of gun violence related to it leading to weapons confiscation. With some extra helpings of squelching free speech. Because you gotta mix these stories up lest people catch on to what you are pulling. If you thought the last 18 months were bad…
Though I suppose there is the possibility that Islamic terrorism and such will knock them off their Narrative.
I would also throw in, should Biden die, much of the oxygen in the media space will of course be consumed with glorifying her and any criticism whatsoever will be written off to the sexist nature of Teh Patriarchy.
Though I suppose that part goes without saying.
Well alrighty then.

Seriously, though, if you have an Android phone you might want to look into whether you can switch it to run UbuntuTouch or Lineage OS in case they try to do a push. I doubt they have come up with a Linux version, and so far Lineage has been immune to the coof app pushed I mentioned above.

My only issue with the Texas heartbeat law (which I have not read, so my issue may very well be moot) is that an older couple undergoing IVF may have decided to do so while the older rules were in effect. Couples going through that won’t throw away a potential baby away unless there’s something horrible in their future. (People like to throw out trisomy-21 as the primary reason for IVF couples to abort. Trisomy-18 is much worse, but I know a woman with a Rett Syndrome daughter [that’s an X chromosome linked genetic disease; males with that error don’t live long at all] who worries about what will happen to that daughter.) I would hope for a short grandfather clause (around 40 weeks, IIRC) to get around that.
OTOH, someone with the ducats to go through IVF might have the remaining ducats to go somewhere else to get a horrible deed done.
The woman with the Rett Syndrome daughter had had said daughter while young (mid 20s); I don’t think that anyone tested for that whilst she was pregnant. I realize that I’ve muddled the issue by adding her experience; she certainly did not go through IVF, so any such grandfather clause wouldn’t apply in her case.
And that daughter is still alive and she has absolutely no interest in changing that. Still, that daughter has been the focus of her life for 29 years now and she’s worried about what will happen to that daughter if she leaves this plane of existence prior to that daughter.
In my case, (you may think the following is bullshit; go ahead) I decided prior to puberty that I wouldn’t be banging anyone who I wouldn’t want to raise any resulting children; I never wanted to kill my children. Well, my experience tells me that if there is a god, it’s Loki.
On the off chance that any of you feel like posting sympathetic messages for my case, please don’t. It won’t make the guy who looks at me in my dreams with the acidic comment “So, the best thing you could have done to your daughter was kill her before she heard her mother’s voice or felt her mother’s touch? Yeah, she would have been crying the entire time, but you really don’t know why, do you?” go away.
We all have our crosses to bear. [ nods to bartender ] Maybe the whiskey will help dull the pain.
On a more cerebral note, it seems to be getting missed that the Texas law isn’t supposed to be good law; it’s SCOTUS-bait. It was designed to get challenged all the way to SCOTUS because now the right has control of the court, this is its best shot at getting Roe v. Wade overturned.
I believe your faith in Chief Justice Roberts to overturn Roe v Wade is flying in the face of all known evidence (also while Thomas and Alito are reliable I wouldn’t bet the house on any of the other 3 “Conservatives”).
True or false: the only major roadblock between Hillary and the Oval Office is Kamala.
And Kamala’s gone into hiding.

Today’s word is ‘pretentious’.
The more and more I see about this stupid Texas abortion law, the more I am (granted, early on…just one day into my prediction) confident that I am right. And stupid, stoooopid conservatives fall right in line, taking the bait on failure theater yet again. You would think you would learn but noooooo…. Hey let’s talk about repealing gay marriage laws too! And wouldn’t right now be the perfect time to greatly increase defense spending! Oh, wait…More stupid from the stupid party of stupid.
As our host would say, ‘always respect the media’.

What is scary are the responses to that tweet. Scary and yet predictably so. So many stupid people who are convinced that they are the smart ones.

Indeed, anyone want to make book that this chap* has also claimed “men can get pregnant too”?
Additionally, in regard to photo inaccuracies, the RS article itself shows a picture of the oral form of ivermectin, yet this doctor’s absurd claim is that the (supposedly dumbass) people of Oklahoma are more comfortable with the idea of ivermectin because they soooo frequently accidentally stick themselves, and I suppose also stupidly press the plunger, when injecting horses such that…something about underpants gnomes goes here…they don’t worry about the dangers. One wonders how often this doctor “accidentally” injects himself with God knows what.
Additionally, in regard to photo inaccuracies…
Heh – they have already scrubbed the page, DXed the people standing and horse ivermectin photos for one photo of human ivermectin tablets.
Gunshot victims wait…
Rolling Stone and their writer Peter Wade could have avoided this screw-up by calling the hospital to check the accuracy of what their informant said. But Rolling Stone is a generator of propaganda, not news.
Remember the Rolling Stone rape hoax?
