Gosh golly what is the point of a trial now? Your honor, I propose my client be released on account of having irrefutably proved his guilt, sparing the prosecution the need to do anything.

In other news, I found the backstory to the "Anne Frank had white privilege" tweet and apparently it started because people thought the term "PAWG" was racist and detoured into doxing and threatening a pet pig? I think the brain worms took a W here.

I can read the words you posted, but when I try to parse their meaning I get a sensation similar to the one I have after I drink a double dose of NyQuil while managing a triple digit fever. Just sweaty malaise and confusion.

I am by no means an expert on what’s racist, but I imagine if you can’t say it about black girls, you probably can’t say it about white girls.

Or something like that.

Again, no expert, just taking a guess here.

It was pretty disturbing driving through central PA to go mountain biking a few months back and seeing EVERY farmhouse with a Mastriano sign out in front. I'm sure he's not popular in Pittsburgh or Philly but rural PA is kinda scary at times.

I really like Shapiro, but Wolf pissed off too many people during Covid (specifically regarding the shutdown and asymmetrical applications of business restrictions). Mastriano has this locked unless some wild poo poo happens.

We're basically in wild poo poo territory, based on what I'm seeing in polling data. Pissed people vote and a lot of Democrats converted from being extremely disappointed to being pissed off after Roe/Guns/etc. going on. Biden's carrying approval ratings in the low thirties in the same battleground states where the Democrats are slightly ahead. A lot of "Biden loving sucks, but holy gently caress that other guy and hey this Fetterman guy ain't like the others".

If the GOP nominated a bunch of Youngkins for governor/senate, they probably take AZ/NV/MI/PA easily. But they're basically nominating Mastrianos and J6ers instead. MI would be loving cooked if the local Democrats and organizations didn't organize a ballot initiative to propose adding abortion rights to the state constitution in the 2022 midterm vote.

But then again, this could be the kind of year where the Democratic Brand is so toxic that a whole herd of Mastrianos get ushered in. Pennsyltucky is no joke.

I honestly believe the true answer to Fermi's Paradox is that it's so expensive in energy/resource terms to even approach the speed of light or otherwise make a slower than light self-sustainable/colony ship that even if there is life elsewhere it's just too hard to make it out of your local area.

Either that or any sufficiently advanced race would see us and know better than to stick their hand into the ant farm.

Looking like second boosters for The Youngs will be authorized in about two weeks. Reformulated vaccines will probably be out in October. From what I'm reading, an Omicron BA.1 formulated vaccine might not work as well for the current BA.5, so they're trying to figure that out while the original still keeps people out of the hospital at minimum.
