Yes! Flu season doesn't usually hit its peak till mid-February. There are multiple strains, so even if you've been exposed to one, vaccination can help protect you and the people around you from the others so you won't have to fight off more than one at a time. Plus having some immunity built up is better than none if you do catch it from your family/roommates, so get on that poo poo quick!

Baytown police officers said the people in the video are a couple. They identified them as Garett Wilder, 26, and his girlfriend, Brittany Farber, 24. They charged them both with misdemeanors for public intoxication.

Wilder talked to ABC13 about the incident after we tracked him down. He admitted alcohol played a factor. He expressed remorse about the altercation.

Watching episode 2 of "Dirty Money" on Netflix and reading on the second screen that Scott Tucker has been sentenced to 16 years in prison and a 1.3 bn (BN!) judgement for the poo poo he and his cronies pulled (predatory payday loans) is the good stuff. The intro of the episode has some repo men pulling his prized racing cars from the property.
Nnnnnnnghhh yeaaaaaaah.

It's even better when you see him comment on the proceedings and not showing the slightest bit of remorse.

May I interest you in a little light reading?

I think this beats the time someone left top secret documents on the train because they fell asleep and almost missed their stop. We actually, legally sold the filing cabinet and its contents because our public servants were too lazy to call a locksmith for a cabinet used to store thousands of top secret files.

Given the options I'll fuckin' take it.

Also I live in Germany now and I'll have my EU Blue Card in June. I've got backups to my backups. My goal in life is to chase the ever-dwindling bubble of civilization around the globe until I die, leaving no children behind when that bubble finally pops. Also to gently caress a lot and occasionally do really good drugs until that happens.

The Cabinet files release is dumb, BUT also humbling. Oh, your leader Abbot released some files from a previous cabinet's tenure, relating to a commission questioning a government program during that cabinet's time? SHOCKING.

I get that the worry is it opens subsequent governments up to being picked apart by their predecessors, but Trump has really changed what I consider 'tossing out political decorum'. It was still handled in the most utterly political manner possible. You guys are so lucky to have a GOVERNMENT! And.....there was a government program to get houses insulated and stimulate the economy? WOW. That would never fly here!

Kansas’ prisons, hospitals and other state facilities are in disrepair after years of underfunding, according to the man who has spent the last seven years as the state’s governor.

...

“It’s a pit, isn’t it?” Brownback said of the hospital. “Parsons (State Hospital) is worse than Osawatomie. And so you’ve got these state assets that we haven’t put any money into for years.”

That's what gets me. They can't claim "those files were stolen!" or "that's an illegal leak!". They have no one to blame apart from themselves... and they're in charge of this sun burnt land.

That's not the best part, the best part is when the subsequent government, after flaying them in opposition, spent millions on a Royal Commission to try and find criminal blame for the scheme and destroyed a Minister's career because he was a former rock star. The scheme could not enforce insurance since that was a state not federal matter and mysteriously no one said anything about it until a death. The "pink batts waste" has been a successful narrative ever since, despite the incredible waste they went on to make. Turns out the worst thing you can do to a neoliberal is to successfully apply Keynes.
