I thought using your own blood was just something athletes were doing to make it so you can't just do a DNA test and say "hmmm looks like more than one person in here" and that you could do it with any blood type that your body will accept.

That's why they use there own blood, yes. Blood doping just temporarily increases your circulating red blood cells, which in turns allows you to make a longer sustained effort since your blood will more quickly carry oxygen and remove waste products from tissues. Your body qill quickly return to normal afterwords since reb blood cells breakdown quickly and they extra ones won't be replaced. It's not Elizabeth Báthory bathing in the blood of virgins for eternal life as Thiel seems to think.

I also feel like you probably want to be somewhat careful how often and how much you do that, yes? I feel like every time you're doing it you are putting some stress on your body's ability to clear the poo poo those extra cells dump into your system as they lyse.

I love that a good cartoonist's parody of Rall's style is so much better drawn than anything Rall has done himself.

Note that Hellman's letter was in response to Rall publishing a bitchy screed in the Village Voice attacking Spiegelman. According to Rall, Spiegelman was using his post-Maus fame and connections to rule the alt-comics world, dispensing favors on undeserving artists who were, surprise, Not Ted Rall.

“THE GINSBURG SIGHTING”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become as elusive as the mysterious Sasquatch.

Recently Democrats claimed RGB was spotted in public last week at a concert given by her daughter-in-law and other musicians.

In this age of ubiquitous smart phone photo taking, no snaps–discreet or otherwise–were taken. The easy excuse proffered was, ‘Cameras were not allowed at the event.’ Nobody photographed her outside the event, either. Maybe the 85 year-old Supreme Court Justice was beamed directly into her chair.

A Washington(com) Post reporter claimed a number of Democrats phoned him. Each swore she was there, “It’s true, RGB lives and looks fabulous!” The reporter is beyond reproach because the Post said he was. The old and now discredited fake news dinosaur media rag, now run by Dr. Evil himself, (Jeff Bezos), then proceeded to label doubters as ‘conspiracy theorists.’ Here’s a snippet of wisdom designed to convince us of Ginsburg’s presence:

“. . . A falsehood has been spreading in dark corners of the Internet that Ginsburg is dead — and in the hours after Barnes published his report, conspiracy theorists pelted him with their doubt-mongering. Photos were not allowed at the event, so one of the doubters emailed Barnes 21 questions about Ginsburg’s appearance — the size of her security detail, what gender they were, for example — telling Barnes that if he did not answer every single one of them, it would be a sign his article was not to be believed. . . .”

OOoooo! “Dark corners!” Doubters like me who aren’t ‘official’ or ‘reliable’ journalists get called ‘conspiracy theorists’ because we doubt the official narratives created by the CIA and other ‘authorities!’ In this case, that Ginsburg is not in a sick bed dying of cancer or already dead, but rather very much alive—kicking rear end and taking names. She could have shown up at the SOTU address to remove all doubt, but she despises Trump. The Democrats applaud her for her ‘resistance.’ So brave!

I began my newspaper career right after college and one constant I noticed in newsrooms was this: Cynicism. Some of the best editors and reporters I knew were skeptics and cynics, aka ‘doubt mongers’ who constantly questioned what they were told. They investigated. They verified. They double-checked. Not any more—a dozen people paid by Soros can call up a newspaper and confirm that what was handed to an editor by the CIA is double-plus true! We should all question whether or not the Deep State is planting stories and rounding up citizen actors to carry out their latest false flag bunk and now, outrageously, they also want to make sure we aren’t allowed to even question said bunk! They got away with whitewashing the Kennedy assassination and now they think they can foist endless lies upon the public as a result. As long as it comes from an ‘authority’ like the government, Walter Cronkite, or The Washington Post, it has to be believed, right? Wrong.

As for my ‘dark corner,’ it’s currently a very cold, forested, and snowy section of Montana. It’s here that I maintain my right to question everything I hear from the Deep State mainstream propaganda media. Sure, Ginsburg may indeed be alive and doing cartwheels down Main Street, but I demand better evidence than what the Washington Post throws on lawns.

After all, they once ran an article in which I was smeared as being a KKK member. They did retract it when I threatened to sue them, but it woke me up.

I’m not all that hard to contact, but they didn’t even bother to verify such an outlandish accusation. Instead, it was easier for them to print a blatant lie in order to attack conservatives. It’s what passes for journalism these days in the dark corners of the biggest blue cities.

Yeah, the feeling I get from that excerpt is "hey he's never gonna be huge the way the true titans of the industry are and that's sad but kind of okay, most of us won't be, his work is still important and worthy of recognition and those who know will honour him, also, Rall is a piece of poo poo and no-one likes him except as a punching bag."

I think he means “round up” as in “recruit,” not as in “arrest.” Like they’re actively recruiting crisis actors.

I never expected President Trump’s speech to have the new Democratic congresswomen high fiving and chanting “U.S.A., U.S.A.” But he did. The president brought the ladies in white to their feet by proclaiming there are more women in Congress now than ever before. (He didn’t mention that they’re Democrats.) Then they quickly sat down when he promised to build the wall. But back up when he announced plans for paid family leave. And back down again when he slammed late term abortion.

Nancy Pelosi seemed to conduct the State of the Union performance from her perch behind Trump. She showed boredom by reading from oversized sheets of paper while he spoke. And when he blasted political investigations she frowned at the back of his head. She also tamped down outbursts from the Democratic congresswomen. And when it was time to stand up and cheer she inscrutably clapped her hands like a seal.

When was the first "Crisis Actor" conspiracy theory anyway? I recall after 9/11 people claiming that all the passengers on the hijacked planes (or at least United 93) got off on the tarmac at an unscheduled stop so the empty plans with fuel tanks added could be flown into the towers/Pentagon. Then the passengers who got off.... just went away and lived under different names?
