I discovered I have another Anti-Vax niece. She never posts about politics, doesn't forward any shit. She talks about her kids and her horses. She rescues horses. She is not anti-mask as her pics show her and her son in masks. But she just posted she's afraid they won't waive

the requirement so she may need to find another job. The thing is, she knows COVID is real. She's had it. But this is how this shit spread. Her son's wife has always been anti-vax. Both of her siblings have Down's Syndrome. She wants a reason for it

She wants to be sure she has neurotypical kids (and she does, my great-nephew and her have three kids) but she bet on avoiding vaccines to protect her kids from cognitive disabilities long before COVID.

Here's an example of that famous unity
From Nov. 2001

I cannot find the NYTimes piece. One of their folks interviewed a bunch of people, including Democrats, all expressing relief that Bush was president - because the GOP would not unite with Gore the way Dems did with Bush. Gore gave a speech saying Bush was his president..

Please do not buy the "we were so united" story about 9/11. That unity went only one way. Democrats chose country over party. Meanwhile, Republicans and the media said repeatedly it was a good thing Bush was president instead of Gore because Republicans would never support Gore

They said it as though they thought it was commendable that they were incapable of putting partisanship aside if their guy were not in the White House on 9/11. The media seemed to think the same thing. It was when I realized they were never the loyal opposition.

They used the national tragedy to purge people in the media. Donahue was fired even though he still had better ratings than others on the network. Reporters were fired if they weren't on the pro-war beat. WIRED did a story about how the people who were wrong about Iraq War

If you want an illustration of why the NYPost is shit and the New York Daily News is better compare their stories on the death of Michael K. Williams. In the NYPost they say he likely died of an overdose while the NYDN says the ME will determine cause of death.

My nephew died in his 20s of a heart defect that no one knew about. There was a lot of local speculation about him dying of a drug overdose. This was hurtful to my sister. My nephew did use drugs, but drug use does not mean someone dies of an overdose. Flawed assumptions at work

What is the harm in waiting for the ME report?

Here is a reminder that J. D. Vance is nothing more than a fraud.

J. D. Vance created a nonprofit called Our Ohio Renewal. It is as phony as he is. It spends its money on management fees, not on renewing Ohio.

I recognized what he was when he was on his Hillbilly Elegy publicity tour. His intellectual ancestor is Phineas Quimby, who originated New Thought, the source of prosperity gospel, the idea that wealth equals moral rectitude and poverty is the result of character failure.

Reading an excellent book by this guy.

How We Define Violent Crime in America Shapes Who Gets Punished for It—And Who Doesn't time.com/5952785/violen…

In it he includes an observation from someone else that in American justice, white people commit violent acts but Black people are violent. In essence, we see crimes committed by whites in context of circumstances but as character defect in Black people

That's why a white guy can pull over, Park, run across the grass, and assault a reporter and just be wacky and his assault is described as confronting.
