It is of course good for the rest of humanity getting a new situational antiviral medication into eventual production, and one with possible antibiotic efficacy at that.

My exact reaction to this was me saying “oh gently caress the gently caress right the gently caress off” out loud.

Gin up some E. coli to poo poo out a whole bunch of the peptide. Unless it's got some crazy secondary processing and refining requirements, it's not really complicated in this day and age. poo poo, depending on it's physical properties freeze-dried peptides can have some surprising resilience to fudging the refrigeration and kinetic shock for shipping and storage.

Joe Rogan is and has always been a piece of poo poo, but he's such a soft interviewer that he'll pretty much nod and go "that makes sense" unless it's about one of his pet causes, drugs and fight sports. From that standpoint Rogan was a good place to put sandman to get his message out to people who may or may not already be with him and actively vote.

It seems to me from only watching clips on youtube that there are three types of Joe Rogan interviews:

1) The guest is so fascinating he shuts up and listens.
2) Joe dosent agree with the guest and smugly smiles at them and tries to goad them into admitting they're actually wrong.
3) Joe is high as gently caress and constantly goes on mostly unrelated tangents either about a drug (you ever tried DMT?) or about a previous guest (you ever hear of so and so? he was on the show *rambles a poorly told tldr about that interview).

There was a pretty funny one where he interviewed James Hetfield from Metallica and was just basically unable to comprehend that one of thrash metal's most notorious party animals was completely sober and lived in his wife's quaint little hometown in Colorado and he spends his free time in the winter skiing to relax and poo poo.

Joe Rogan is not capable of actually understanding anyone whose mindset isn't similar to his own or simply angrily powerful. I bet he lined that one up expecting all sorts of rip roaring drug abuse tales and all-nighter orgy stories and instead got the complete opposite.

Joe Rogan has had Alex Jones on his show multiple times and allowed him to spread dangerous misinformation to all of the misguided idiot boys that make up Rogan’s audience with either 1) no pushback at all, 2) or such soft pushback that it ended up making Jones appear more credible to an uninformed audience.

What really irritates me is that idiots like Rogan are the same idiots that run Facebook/Twitter/Reddit. Weirdo first amendment absolutists that believe that more speech is always better, and that the solution to bad speech is better speech, then they hold no responsibility for airing the bullshit uncritically while making GBS threads on the science.

So regarding that book that Nick Soapdish posted about in last month’s CE thread- Alpha, the book about Eddie Gallagher that had some less than flattering excerpts. I’ve been listening to it on audiobook and poo poo, these are among the LESS egregious things that Gallagher did on deployment to Mosul. Shooting civilians, stealing from his teammates, disobeying orders, and coming close to killing a second prisoner are what I’ve gotten to so far and I’m like halfway done with the book. In one instance, his SEAL platoon got so sick of his poo poo when he tried to reassign a JTAC for disloyalty that three SEALs were ready to fight him the moment he walked in for a meeting while another had a pistol holstered in case Gallagher got truly violent. It didn’t get that far

Dude is a loving psycho and is probably going to kill someone else someday. This isn’t merely a case of someone in the SOF community being blinded by moral injury and losing sight of the line between good and evil, Gallagher is just an evil, lovely person.

The Aurora PD response to Elijah's murder and the response to the grand jury indictments is a good example of why the entire system is loving broken and needs to be reformed top to bottom.

quote:

Immediately after Elijah McClain’s death, Chief Metz stated clearly that McClain was not murdered by our officers. Nothing has changed. Our officers did nothing wrong.

McClain died due to a combination of exertion due to his decision to violently resist arrest and a preexisting heart condition. He was alive and talking when the officers turned him over to EMS. There is no evidence that our officers caused his death.

The hysterical overreaction to this case has severely damaged the police department. Inevitably, the public are the ones who’ve paid the price. This fall, the public has the opportunity to restore sanity to this situation in the City Council elections. They should not take a return to normalcy for granted.

If you don't recall how Elijah McClain was murdered, he was the young black man in Colorado who had done nothing wrong and completely complied with police orders. While on the ground he was telling them he loved and supported police and was not resisting. They injected him with ketamine and killed him. Once again, he had committed no crime. A white person called the cops on him because they're racist.

If I remember it correctly they called the police because he was a black man wearing a scarf while it was cold outside. I listened to the audio from the police when it first circulated and he is more compliant than about anyone else and never once resisted. He basically was so scared and nervous he threw up as they were pinning him to the ground.

I’m my opinion is was substantial more egregious than George Floyd because he completely did everything they asked, and he was even a “big scary black man,” he was like 140lbs.
