(CW:SA) Remember when Donald Trump (known sexual assaulter) invited the sexual assault victims of the Dem Candidate's spouse to the debates?
Remember when the Dems ran a problematic candidate that was under federal investigation?
Nah, he's still a lib. 
Throat GOAT. 
Don't sleep on the fun history behind it!
... the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians—"should I be my brother's keeper?"
Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it's right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note.
Isn't that super fun and totally not related to anything else!
What Long Flu Sufferers of the 1918-1919 Pandemic Can Tell Us About Long COVID Today
Oh, lol, right. The dementia. Not the other thing Nancy Reagan was famous for.
Due to my own background, I may be remembering more discussed on the topic than there actually is, but the translation on Marxism.org uses the phrase intellectual production multiple times to discuss what is clearly a form of intellectual property. The concept of The Commons, including it's form as a well from which ideas are drawn, goes back thousands of years. And while it may not be an exact 1 to 1 of our present day, Marx was definitely familiar with the enclosure of The Commons. I doubt he would have that much of a problem extrapolating a scenario resembling our present day.
Another banger. 
They started the year putting up 14. Then 8. Today's batch was 6 and they were clearly trying to put them in new places in hopes they would last longer. 
I'm expecting the next batch to have Trump in bed with the flag. Lol.
So I've heard a couple of times about writers for The Economists being college interns and in a recent 
ep (195) the guest referred to them all being 19. I was wondering if there's any actual documentation on that, or is it just vibes based?
Posting this for reasons.

This is normally the time of year when our lull starts to kick in, but there's spikes still happening all over the country. It's frankly rather depressing to look at the last 6 month view and over and over seeing county after county stop reporting data and then just seeing random counties spiking at an all time high. Whatever wave we went through over the holidays is still going strong. Mask up, nasal spray, and be careful out there when you have to go out.
ngl, I'm curious to see if this is the end of lulls at a nationwide level. 
We'll have to see how much immunity all these JN.1 infections are giving people to the other variants out there.
Surely, everyone has watched Damnation by now, right? 
Just in case...

They're laying it on thick with the He Gets Us campaign during the Super Bowl again. Just a reminder that one of the guys behind it was also behind the Swift Boat ads.... Waitaminute!
SWIFT BOATS.... TAYLOR SWIFT! IT'S ALL CONNECTED! 
They're just putting them up for anybody to take!
Pretty sure I got them all within 24 hours this time. 
Oh hey look, it's former CIA Intern and member of the Vanderbilt family, Anderson Cooper!
