Quote I “Our largest local school district just voted to pay people differently, not on merit, or by the content of their character, but based solely on the color of their skin,” MN State Rep. Jeremy Munson (R)
Quote II “I’m looking forward to some aspects of this being behind me, of course. For everyone who is involved in this, it i’s never going to be behind us, because somebody died so tragically…not a day goes by I don’t think about that,” Alec Baldwin

THE POPE
DECLARED DEAD BY MISTAKE ...
During TV Blunder The Pope has died while discussing Covid-19 -- at least that's what one broadcaster almost had her viewers thinking ... when she mistakenly said the guy had croaked. Francis' Christmas day remarks were being recapped Saturday by ITV broadcaster Kylie Pentelow, who was plugging along nicely ... until a little slip at the end when she said, "His death was announced ..."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace prize laureate who helped end apartheid in South Africa, has died aged 90. President Cyril Ramaphosa said the churchman's death marked "another chapter of bereavement in our nation's farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans". Archbishop Tutu had helped bequeath "a liberated South Africa," he added. Tutu was one of the country's best known figures at home and abroad. A contemporary of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, he was one of the driving forces behind the movement to end the policy of racial segregation and discrimination enforced by the white minority government again

Questions and concerns are being raised over a so-called “body positivity” group that’s selling “Don’t Weigh Me” business cards to help reduce so-called “weight stigma.” The cards are designed to be handed to medical professionals such as nurses and doctors. “Please don’t weigh me unless it’s (really) medically necessary. If you really need my weight, please tell me why so that I can give you my informed consent,” the front of each card reads.

TOUGH LOVE I made my son sleep in a treehouse on Christmas Eve night for breaking 10pm curfew… other mums think I’m too strict A MUM made her son sleep in a treehouse on Christmas Eve night after he was an hour late for his curfew - leaving the internet outraged. Other parents have said the woman was far too over the top and branded her a "raging control freak", dishing out "excessively harsh" punishments.The kid's excuses were lame. And he got off pretty lucky if you ask me.
VP Harris reportedly turned to Hillary about Improving Her Horrific Approval Rating According to a new report from the NY Times VP Harris has turned to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on how to turn around her horrific approval ratings. The Times reports Harris “has turned to powerful confidantes, including Clinton, to help plot a path forward.” The NY Times also reports Harris hosted Clinton in her West Wing office in November. “Ms. Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, all of whom were white and male,” the report writes. “She also has confided in them about the difficulties she is facing with the intractable issues in her portfolio, such as voting rights and the root causes of migration.”Maybe she reached out to the JEF in the wrong way. But he laughed in her face.

LOL. The Boston Herald is claiming that the "I Did That" stickers and "Let's Go Brandon" chants are "Republican guerrilla campaigns."
The Conservative Media Ecosystem™ has no sense of shame, or even self-awareness. No matter how much their organs like the Herald might want that to be true... there is no way in ten thousand eternities that a single one of the GOP's legion of joyless, soulless, bien-pensant midwits has even one tenth of the basic humanity needed for a simulacrum of humor. They're a bunch of Karens. Just fatter, older, and uglier.

The wife of a surgeon told me that her husband hated operating on obese people because they are more likely to die on the operating table and when they survive the operation their recuperation doesn't go as well. Also, I have two overweight relatives who have adult onset diabetes, one had his foot amputated. I'm twenty pounds overweight myself, and I love eating. I understand the temptations of food, but pretending that being obese isn't a serious health risk is childish.

I really think the next Repub ticket should be DeSantis for Pres, and Trump for VP.
Why? Put Trump in charge of the Economy, AND they will be afraid to go after Desantis, because if impeached, Trump would be Prezzy again!

I got pulled over on my way home from church today for not having a seatbelt on. Daughter is riding in the car with me. Cop says "Is that your daughter?", "Yes, we're on our way home from church."
Five minutes later he walks up to her window, asks her if she knows my date of birth and if she wants to be riding in my car with me, does she feel safe to leave if she wants. She's confused, answers his questions.
Then he hands me my ticket and says "Do you know why I had to ask her those questions?" I said "No." He says "I'm doing my job."
I think I'm gonna go talk to the police chief next week. That f*cking pig was basically saying he was checking to see if I was some kind of pervert or kidnapper. Tired of these f*ckers. I think I may accuse ask the chief if this young pig was hitting on my daughter. Maybe then he'll understand what it's like to be accused of being a pervert. F*cking pig.

I saw a great example of Covid fear porn today, from a New York TV station:
NEW YORK - The spiraling COVID-19 case numbers in New York are coming with a new warning of a disturbing rise in pediatric hospitalizations.
The New York State Department of Health on Friday warned of a "striking increase" in new hospital admissions for children.
The recent fourfold increase in admissions of children ages 18 and younger that began the week of Dec. 5 is concentrated in New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area, where the highly contagious omicron variant has taken a startling hold.
Of course, they don't tell you what the number of pediatric cases were before the "fourfold increase".
As of three days ago, five people under 18 were hospitalized with Covid in Oregon. If that number goes to twenty, that would be worth watching, but that still doesn't mean that kids are at any serious risk of getting ill.

LOL, built one with the Kids back in the backyard in Colorado... fine light snow had fallen, but... built the first part of the walls on day 1, then, ran a hose from inside the house and lightly sprayed the outside...
Then finished the next day, after the walls had frozen overnight... then sprayed the rest.

You need post-exposure processing, such as Photoshop or Darkroom. Those have the tools to re-do a white-balance of the image at the click of a mouse.
Conversely, doing it the way we did it in Film Times, you can choose a warmer lighting source (add a 3200 Kelvin bulb to the mix, which is the warm yellow candle light tint of days gone by), or a No.1 or No.2 Yellow filter, and this may introduce you to the aged but still effective Cokin System.
Try some alternatives before you invest in Capital Hardware, and you'll likely come out $ hundreds ahead.

In Colorado you get a range of snowfall, depending on whether the storm is coming from the West, or the North.

Greatest meme of the year, if not the decade, is Let's Go Brandon. The joyless mopes criticize it as being vulgar (as if it were literally FJB), but the deeper joke is that it was that media gal who gifted us with this phrase.
Similarly, they're piling on Jared for saying it to the President, ignoring that the deeper joke is Joe's (and DOCTOR Mrs Jill's) reactions.
Do they really not get it, or do they just play "look, a squirrel"?

Yeah, I skied the East Coast in the early 80's, when I was stationed out there. Even skied at the Lake Geneva Playboy Club when it was still open. Really short crappy hill, but we had a ball... people were actually buying us drinks when we came down as it was unusual to have anyone on that little hill who could actually ski. But this was back when Hot Dogging was just getting started, and anyone who could do a helicopter was God Like... LOL.

Jewells. Good cameras die when their guts die, and not before. I'm shooting a 2013 Nikon Df, and it's a derivative of a 1980s Nikon FM film camera with the sensor and brains of the (then) top of the line Nikon D4. Wouldn't trade it for nuthin'. Point being, your "blue tint" isn't so much a camera problem, as a light-spectrum problem. There are adjustable LED systems, that will let you manipulate a slide or knob, to adjust the "color temperature" of the output, and those would let you get the EXACT right color of white in your pics.
Write to me, and I'll research and reply at more length. Though the modern digital world left me behind vs. film, it hasn't negated what I learned in there years of Occupational Photography in school. We can fix this without you buying a new camera, count on it!

Whistler. 2006.
Got up early. Had special tickets to "First Tracks" up on the mountain.
Went up with an expert snowboarder and an expert skier (who is a fireman. His definition of risk is different than normal people). We looked over the edge..... and it was cathartic. If I had fallen, may have died of suffocation. Had to jump turn to get my tips over the top of the snow.

How do you think he'd feel if it later turned out she was on a one way ride to a ditch on the side of the road with her throat slashed?
I know there's ways to do it and then there's other ways to do it.
I got stopped once with a very young looking girl late at night. He didn't ask the questions until he saw my age. (I looked younger than my age back then) I knew what he was doing and I didn't mind because I did.
That happens every day. Every damn day more than one girl gets into someone's car and doesn't get out on their own power. Thousands thru the year. They do not die well. We can only imagine the terror of their last few minutes of life. Could you face yourself in the morning if you didn't ask those questions just in case? It has to be done with diplomacy but a lot of people can't do that and maintain their demeanor otherwise so they tend to be snide, snarky or just plain rude. And that actually may be on purpose also.

Welcome to MY world.
I have to do all that with aching joints due to my incurable arthritis. And the pain medications do not work all that well. Too much and I could lose my balance, fall and break something. Too little and I can't sleep.
The getting up in the night can usually be resolved. Some Saw Palmetto? Or a surgical session of a micro roto rooter and bore things out. I've had that done. No fun but better than catheterizing every time. There's also some red pills that will lessen the pain or urgency for a while but you have to be careful and make sure the Dr. says ok.
Yep. Growing old ain't for sissies.
Now get thee hence from the foliage growing in my front dooryard.

When I was about 35.... I was up skiing at a local place in central Calif by myself. Saw this guy coming down the hill, wearing a Fur Hat... and FLAWLESS form... pristine... gracefull.... sat in awe. Turned out he had worked with my Father, and was his best friend prior to Marriage... and he was 68 at the time.
My Father quit skiing when us kids were born, because one of his friends got hurt and could not ski (Yeah, I'm sure MOM had something to do with that choice)...
But I decided right then, then when I grew up (Yeah, I was 35) I wanted to be my Dad's friend, Mr. Roberts...

Your complaint was perfectly in keeping with the discussion of cops' reactions to various CHL holders, during traffic stops and other encounters.
Fact is, yours is likely the most important comment and information of that discussion. We all mostly stay up to speed with the CHL/cop/contact issues, for better or for worse. What you experienced? That's pull the handle for General Quarters, All Hands On Deck! (this is not a drill !) Get those answers, brother. For you, and for us all. New Year Blessings to you and to yours!

That's remarkably unprofessional if you ask me. That cop was copping a piss poor attitude but, alas, can't do much about dick headed cops.
Insty has noted for years that men traveling alone with young children are automatically suspect of various and assorted things. It's bullshit.
Roughly how old is Bitter Jr.? If the cop is asking if she can leave of her own free will I'm going to assume she's an adolescent. It's probably worth taking her to get an official state issued ID card. At least that conversation would goe something like, "Here's my ID. Now fuck off." Politely, of course.

Re false positives. This is one of the reasons you don't normally test asymptomatic people for much of anything. Only if you have reason to believe someone may have something, do you test for it. Otherwise, depending on various factors, the false positives will blow away true positives.
It's known as the base rate fallacy, and you can look that up for details. A common example. Take a breathalyzer. Say it has a false positive rate of 5%. Many people who don't know any better assume that means there's a 95% chance that someone who tests positive is actually drunk.
If the cops were to start randomly testing people, the vast majority of the positives would be false positives. It depends on the "base rate" of the conditions, how many people are likely drunk in the population.
So, you need other information before you do a test. Something that greatly raises the base rate of the sample you're testing. Like drivers who are weaving all over the road, or patients actually displaying symptoms of a given disease.

It means they have five hospitalized pediatric patients infected with Covid.
It is perfectly possible that the admitting diagnosis had nothing to do with Covid.

If you want to take (audit) the one single best course on clear and effective writing, then do sit in on your local Law Enforcement Academy (muni or community college) segment on Police Report Writing.
It'll strip the writer of all but the objective facts and accurately descriptive narrative of said facts, in the sequence in which they occurred. Me, I can wax eloquent, even florid on occasion. But I earned my chops by getting right to the point, even if brutally so.

They used to make magnesium in Texas. All you need is seawater and electricity. And some outfit, using government money, built a beautiful brick magnesium smelter near High River, Alberta, back in the 1980's I don't know if it ever poured a single ingot. Building still stands; I have no idea if it has been repurposed, or still has all the pots in it. Now might be the time to unmothball it, if that can be done.

Covid porn has had its effect. Things would have been very different if the government and the media had pointed out that your chances of getting really sick from Covid are tiny unless you are:
1) Elderly
2) Morbidly obese
3) or have some other major, major medical problem
Omicron is even less dangerous.
Instead we had the media hunting down stories of healthy 55-year-olds dying of Covid to stir up panic, even if the number of those sorts of cases was infinitesimal.
