Politico has the fake certificates of ascertainment from Michigan and Arizona that were submitted to the National Archives in an attempt to put their fake electors in play. Two very different documents:

politico.com/news/2022/01/1… Image
Arizona's fake certificate, submitted by one Lori Osiecki of Mesa, AZ, is a Sovereign Citizen thing proposing eleven random Trump supporters as their Electors. It was widely reported at the time. Image
AZ SecState Katie Hobbs asked the state law authorities to investigate Osiecki for the fraud back in December 2020.

The MI certificate, though, was from the actual MI Republicans who would have been Trump electors had he won the state.

In July during Israel's Delta wave, I caused a bit of a fuss when I said that the data showed previously-infected people were catching Delta at a very low rate — lower than vaccinated people. Well... arieh.substack.com/p/inside-israe…
Now, in Israel's Omicron wave, recovered people seem to be catching the virus at about the same rate as everyone else. Maybe even a little bit higher, proportionally speaking. Image
It's too early to talk about relative severity, and of course many of the non-recovered cases are among vaccinated people at this point. But the whole infection-acquired immunity is better thing isn't holding up under Omicron. Image

Star Trek's big-nosed, big-eared money obsessed Ferengi with a numbered list of religious rules they observe, played on screen by Jewish actors. We don't have to look far to find racist Jewish stereotypes in popular fiction.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace introduced Watto, the fat, greedy slaver with a black hat, big nose and beard, a stereotype so blatant that it caused a minor scandal when the film was released. Not a big enough scandal to change the character, of course.
I guess my point here is that this Harry Potter goblins discourse shouldn't happen in a vacuum just cos it suits other agendas. If we're doing this, let's do this. I suspect @jonstewart would agree.

Considering the Capitol riot, one year on. This is not a hopeful piece, but it's where my head is today.

Believing in democracy means:

A. wanting things to be a certain way: taxes, welfare, health, immigration, law, policing,
B. wanting things to be the way that the democratic system decides, even if that conflicts with what you want in A.

It's hard. It's complicated.
Trump and his supporters self-define as the majority. An election showed that the majority didn't support their politics; therefore the election must be rigged. It's a rejection of democracy itself.

Dr Vladimir Zelenko was one of the earliest HCQ pushers. Despite being a Hassidic Jew, he's now claiming the vaccines are the New Testament's 'Mark of the Beast'.
It's pretty unusual for an Ultra-Orthodox Jew to promote Christian scripture. But that's what Zelenko did on Charlie Kirk's show a couple of weeks ago, citing Revelation 13:15-17 in support of his claim that the coronavirus vaccines contain secret tracking technology. ImageImage
He also claimed the vaccine a "poison death shot", said they cause AIDS, that Microsoft has patent 060606 (666, geddit?) to track you in the vaccines... and all that was just in the 6 minutes I could bear to listen to.

This one's a bit of nonsense:

1. The Guardian decides to do a 'Who's YOUR person of the year" thingy where they'll print some reader submissions, eg "My person of the year is Britney cos she's free now" or whatever.
2. After a couple of days they stop accepting replies because they have enough for the article.
3. Twitter decides that this was a *competition* with a winner based on user votes, despite it never saying this. They further decided that JK Rowling must have been winning the competition and that the Guardian therefore scrapped it.

This week I wrote about how, despite it being a disaster, January 6 could have gone much worse.

First, the obvious: it's a miracle that the Capitol invaders never came face to face with Members of Congress or VP Pence. Only a combination of coincidence, timing, quick thinking (especially by Officer Goodman) and luck prevented a hostage situation or worse.
If a staffer in the Senate Parliamentarian's office hadn't rescued the Electoral Vote envelopes from Senate chamber before it was taken, the invaders would probably have destroyed them, and the Joint Session might not have reconvened that night.
