An interesting phenomenon I’ve noticed about covid. I’ve been looking at WaPo graphic every day. It reflects that there is a significant drop in daily cases & daily deaths every Sunday. Is this a reporting issue or a psychological phenomenon or both? (Pics to follow.)

/1
This is last Saturday’s data, reported on Sunday.

/2
This is last Sunday’s data, reported Monday.

/3
This is Monday’s data (yesterday), reported today.

/4
Here are all three days together. /5
It’s been the same every week since the beginning. The jagged/spiky pattern is noticeable the whole way through. All the “drops” fall on or include Sundays.

I’ve done State security clearance cases for decades. I’ve never seen one that was unjustified based on the facts - foreign relatives or other contacts, foreign financial interests, etc. These restrictions allow people to get cleared who wouldn’t. /1 thehill.com/homenews/admin…
Now, I do only see the ones that people want to fight, so it could be that there are some that are insufficiently related to facts & people for whatever reason decide not to challenge them.

/2
The clearance guidelines permit foreign contacts & interests to be used as factors to deny or restrict clearance. History & data shows that those factors can be/have been vulnerabilities to security. Ethnicity by itself is an irrelevant factor, however. /3

Jesus, these people are narcissist a-holes. The smug assholery just drips off the page.
“we as former contestants feel th need to speak out against the messaging that these choices communicated — either intentionally or unintentionally — by the contestant Kelly Donohue and, implicitly by association, the producers of “Jeopardy!””

Could you be any more obnoxious?
“Kelly responded to a clue with a term for the Roma that is considered a slur. The use of this term doesn’t necessarily indicate malice . . . . Current diversity style guides, however, suggest that it not be used.”

Well good for the style guides! Fucking word police. 🙄

Giuliani case: unless the govt knows *significantly* different facts from what is being & has been historically reported about Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, I see little to no facts to support probable cause for a FARA violation & therefore to execute a search warrant. /1
This case looks extremely suspect to me. FARA is a technical statute aimed at specific conduct. It is seldom prosecuted criminally. DOJ has been trying to expand it in recent years, (not just against political figures) as Is typical of agencies looking to self-expand. /2
WaPo’s article about it today, e.g., was tellingly devoid of facts that would actually constitute a violation of the statute. It reads like it was somehow illegal to try to investigate the Ukraine/Biden/Burisma/Yovanovitch issues, which it wasn’t, under FARA or otherwise. /3

Gotta disagree. This is on all of us for tolerating bullshit “offenses” like this to stay on the books & on the stupid Supreme Court for authorizing police to detain & arrest people for non-incarcerable offenses such as this.
Fucking Mickey Mouse charges are the result of over-criminalization because a bunch of “Karens” write our laws & those laws do little beyond empowering bad cops to abuse their powers.
Exhibit A: I once drove 100 miles round trip on I-95 for 6 months straight with totally dead tags & a busted tail-light. Never got pulled over. Take a wild guess why. 🙄

@lilyq1011 Exactly. Stop explaining your choices to people who don’t care about you. They are not entitled to it.

Also, stop answering questions that people should not be asking you. Just because someone thinks they want to know something doesn’t mean they get to.
@lilyq1011 Women especially have trouble with these ideas, which are really just setting healthy boundaries. It see it with young female lawyers & clients.

You don’t have to answer every question! You get to decide each time whether it’s in your interest to answer or not!
@lilyq1011 “What if they get upset?” So what!

“What if they won’t stop asking?” Leave.

“What if I’ll feel bad?” Get over it.

Get yourself some backbone & some boundaries.

Sometimes picking the fight is the point.
Noem’s “defense” is that her state would be alone on an island fighting the left (NCAA & ACLU, etc.) in court & would be penalized by NCAA on this issue if she signs a bill that applies to colleges. She wants to do a “coalition” 1st to fight them as part of a team instead.
When the issue is one of balancing equally valuable or comparable interests or competing material costs & benefits, this is wise. When the issue is one of principle, this is cowardice.

If you’re not willing to sacrifice for your “principle,” it isn’t one.
