pantslesswithwolves posted:Was it actually verified that the shooter was trying to impersonate cops to get people to open the door? I thought that was actually the sheriffs and the kids in the classroom panicked because they used the word “bro.” Cops said (with appropriate caveats) that it actually was a cop and not the shooter: https://twitter.com/Dave_Boucher1/status/1466140337794166786?t=SPRRWOUOzAFh632KI2j-Bw&s=19 The school apparently had local security (1-2 people around) and a school resource officer, so highly likely there was a lot of confusion when the kid apparently left the bathroom blasting away.

I don't remember how liberal those 59-60 Democratic Senators were back then, but the current crop of decorum-brained Democrats are nothing compared to those dickbags. JOE LIEBERMAN was one of those 60 Senators. Those majority-maker centrist-brain types were loving toast in 2010-2012 no matter what they did and they were so delusional that they thought centrism would save them. I really don't blame Obama for that poo poo, I blame the cheddarbrain centrists that made up that Senate supermajority. They probably wouldn't have even had 50 for an "abortion is legal" bill.

Bored As gently caress posted:Man, I would've gotten in so much loving trouble if I went to school these days. All I did during most classes in high school was doodle battles from WWI and II, Warhammer 40K and other poo poo with guns, aliens, and war. I think there's a big difference between warlike doodling that you mention above, versus the kind of content this kid was putting out in a personal journal: https://twitter.com/BrianAbelTV/status/1466824251902734344 The kind of poo poo that when twisted properly might make a good GiP shirt (as the world is indeed a gently caress), but is about 17 different flavors of klaxon when coming from a highschooler. Although it would be peak USA if some kid got expelled for doodling about 410,757,864,530 DEAD COPS A timeline revision is that the bullet-googling was a day before the shooting, then the "holy poo poo your kid needs counseling" "lol no he doesn't" *blam blam blam* "hey where's my gun" "don't do it son" day took place.

Y'all did the right thing because the *early* thing about Omicron *appears* to be that it doesn't give a gently caress if you had wild/alpha/delta, but vaccines still knock it down a ton. Again, just wait a few weeks, but good on you for getting your kids vaccinated. They're a lot better off than they would be otherwise. And it sure seems that the shooterparents are either lying to their lawyer, the lawyer is lying to everyone else, or nobody gives a gently caress about the "they're going to turn themselves in tomorrow" horseshit: https://twitter.com/USMarshalsHQ/status/1466895351139479564

Omicron updates (still fuzzy, wait a week): https://twitter.com/megtirrell/status/1468222459652489224?t=_RENRtWavTGI4lsejdnz5g&s=19 https://twitter.com/Misopogon/status/1468229745057935361?t=_cuZ961TVxzx5GW3WVJ7Pw&s=19 The one development is that the Merck anti-COVID pill really took a poo poo in the final numbers. End-effectiveness was only like 30%, after being like 70%-plus in early clinical data. The FDA advisory panel went 13-10 in favor of it, for only emergency use, because it turns out the end data was so iffy - the scientists were worried it could be a variant-maker if people don't finish the course of pills. The Pfizer pills use a different mechanism completely, so everyone's hopeful the end-stage data matches the early data, unlike the Merck.

It appears the first Omicron preprint is out: https://twitter.com/sigallab/status/1468325162860826634 https://twitter.com/_b_meyer/status/1468319835012673549 https://twitter.com/_b_meyer/status/1468323193299603458 This more or less is the first to confirm the "immune evasion" aspect of Omicron - the best protection against Omicron is a combination of vaccination and prior actual vaccination. Wild cards remaining: what about T-cell / other immune protection provided by vaccines, what about Moderna/J&J and is this preprint just two Pfizer doses (I'm not fuckin reading it), is this thing more contagious than Delta (or will it flame out like Beta), and do we need a special booster for it.

That Works posted:So, still no tremendous "sky is falling" worry on it at least and it's not a completely novel escape variant (ie the current vaccine would offer almost no protection, the worst case). Yeah another new one agrees: https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468359520422354944 So basically, boosters and better masks.

So Pfizer's study data on Omicron is now out and it's a much more positive picture than the other two studies out so far: https://twitter.com/whippletom/status/1468583533094576129 https://twitter.com/whippletom/status/1468585764992782349 A potential complication is that the other not-as-rosy studies used live virus, while this Pfizer study used a pseudovirus. Pfizer's going to repeat it with the real thing and get back to us in (shocker) a few weeks! That said, the B-Cell and T-Cell memory aspects are probably the most important and it's good that those aren't neutralized. As a tortured analogy, it's like the Army lost its Special Forces units as they all put on MAGA hats and ran off, but the vast majority of the Army can still fight once they get a wake-up call. https://erictopol.substack.com/p/is-omicron-ominous facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Dec 8, 2021 |

About as good as you're ever going to get from a Gorsuch opinion, but clearly dumb legal weasel word bullshit to avoid (edit: outright) tossing a dumbfuck abortion bounty program: https://twitter.com/SCOTUSblog/status/1469323202237280268?t=nEapBfVZbFOGJrsa3IdjTg&s=19 https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1469324139915841539?t=0orBZErKJYZRptEtMBWrBw&s=19 https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1469323885887766538?t=KNM9f6MFqprPyTUtONPgGg&s=19 Edit: so the general analysis is that SB8 is now hosed because there are now state officials that the abortion clinics can sue, instead of playing whack-a-mole against private lawsuits. That theoretically makes the law tossable by a district court federal judge, which SB8 was trying to avoid. Edit2: but it could survive because a lot of the legal routes were shut off by this decision! It's pretty bullshit. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Dec 10, 2021 |

The general analysis of basically everything is that every wacky-rear end attempt to use the legal system to make Donnie into a dictator made it into the White House before January 6th. It's unclear how much of that was actually *made* in the White House - like all that Meadows poo poo could've been FWD: FWD: RE: RE: that anyone with a functional legal degree in the administration immediately knocked down. They couldn't make any of that bullshit stick (somehow), so they looked to get people to falsely confess to election rigging, to then use those confessions as justification to execute those playbooks as shown on powerpoint slides like those. When none of that worked, the happy accident (maybe more) of the insurrectionists came in, plus strategic use of sitting on their hands at the military level, led to now. And so, now they're doing their best to replace the low-level legal/election people with toadies so that 2024 can be different, Donnie or not.
