Update on the Wuhan Alleged Bioweapon: A military scientist " " " fell from the roof of the Wuhan Institute of Bat Virus Bioweapons " " " in May 2020. He had begun work in the Institute in November 2109... just when the alleged bioweapon escaped from the lab.

I'm on vacation, supposedly keeping my mind away from all the troubles in the world, but the Daily Mail offers an eye-popping scoop, relating to the Wuhan Institute of Virology scientist who began work on a vaccine for Covid-19 in May 2020. He had begun work in the Institute in November before almost anyone else on the planet had even heard of the virus.

Zhou, who worked for the People's Liberation Army and was collaborating with Wuhan scientists at the time of the outbreak, died in mysterious circumstances in May 2020, aged 54.
US investigators are said to have been told 'Zhou fell from the roof of the Institute', although this has not been confirmed.
Oh, I'm sure he was just checking out the view and leaned over too far. I would say that this Russian habit of important people falling out of windows must be contagious, but as we know, the Chinese government is habitually reluctant to label anything as contagious.

In return, China is treating Blinken with absolute disrespect and even "scolding him," admits Obama staffer and CNN "journalist" Jim Sciutto.

Federal Judge: Schools are allowed to openly propagandize that children should experiment with homosexuality and transgenderism, but a kid wearing a t-shirt that says "There Are Only Two Genders" is breaking the law.

On Friday, a federal judge in Massachusettes ruled a shirt that read "THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS" could be construed as bullying of a protected class and is not protected speech after a 12-year-old and his father filed suit against officials in the Middlesbrough Public School district for First and Fourteenth Amendment rights violations.
Judge Indira Talwani said in the court ruling, the boy and his father had "not established a likelihood of success on the merits where he is unable to counter Defendants' showing that enforcement of the Dress Code was undertaken to protect the invasion of the rights of other students to a safe and secure educational environment."
"School administrators were well within their discretion to conclude that the statement 'THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS' may communicate that only two gender identities--male and female--are valid, and any others are invalid or nonexistent," the ruling continued, "and to conclude that students who identify differently, whether they do so openly or not, have a right to attend school without being confronted by messages attacking their identities."
Trans and gender non-conforming students are considered a protected class under Massachusetts law, and while this shirt does not constitute the bullying of a single student, the ruling says that the school was justified because it could make "a group of potentially vulnerable students" not feel safe.

Obama: I can't figure out how much of the Tea Party's opposition to Obamacare was based on conspiracy theories, and how much was simply racism.

Bizarre: The New York Times runs an opinion piece by a psychiatrist saying that 90% of what young women want to talk about with her is... Taylor Swift.

A few months ago I started joking that half of the treatments in my psychiatric practice had become "Taylor-based." Many of my patients are adolescent girls and young women, and they have leaned on Taylor Swift as a kind of big sister through the daily agonies of being a teenage girl: unsteady friendships, the 24-hour firing squad of the internet, and of course, the endless longing to feel seen and valued. At the end of a session exploring these struggles, I've appreciated having her to keep my patients company the rest of the week.
But as the Eras tour steadily lurched toward our favorite city, the Taylor-based therapy issues reached a boiling point. "How am I going to stay calm before she goes onstage?" "I need to do remote today because I can't get Covid before the concert." "How am I going to go back to regular life once it's all over?" They were saying they needed to calm down, and to help them do that we dug through the full bag of tricks -- behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, existential -- and explored these patients' relationships to anticipation, to enjoyment, to self-regulation, to suffering.
...

When I was growing up, I had the Indigo Girls, Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco, singers for whom a troubled inside matched a raw, edgy outside. But there was nobody who held forth on righteous anger from the inside of a sparkly bodysuit -- who suffered as I did, but whose confident prowl could make me walk a bit taller. My singers would sit outside the party and complain with you, but when you got your courage up, they weren't going to go inside, ready for it. Taylor doesn't force you to choose, because she is both The Lucky One you want to be, and every bit the Anti-Hero you are inside.
...
"What would Taylor Swift do?" is a refrain among certain patients in my practice...
We will all eventually calm down, but for now I am leaning in to this fever dream, this restlessness, and sleeplessness, and decline in focus on anything else -- a champagne problem perhaps, but also a gift. Sometimes it's good to let yourself be disrupted, to be a little less productive, to stay stay stay in an enchanted place as long as you can. Especially when there is someone new in your life who shows you colors you can't see with anyone else.

It's not a gift, it's a disorder, and this psychiatrist shares it -- if you read the parts I've not bothered to quote, you'll see she is a Taylor Swift Obsessive herself -- and who knows, maybe she's making up this crap about her patients being obsessed as an excuse to share her own Taylor Swift Mania with the world in a formerly prestigious newspaper.

This is fascinating. Saying that you believe you are able to move freely between binary genders is free speech, but saying that you agree and you believe in the exact same binary genders is *not* free speech.

72 Judge Indira Talwani

This may be an unpopular sentiment, but if you confirm judges with names like this you will get more of the same. Anglo-American traditions, like free speech, grew out of a particular history and culture, and those from outside that history and culture are very unlikely to share these traditions. Even those born within them can lose them when, as now, they are no longer inculcated and actively denigrated. But outsiders will never possess them absent indoctrination in and adoption of our ways. Diversity really isn't our strength.

94 This may be an unpopular sentiment, but if you confirm judges with names like this you will get more of the same. Anglo-American traditions, like free speech, grew out of a particular history and culture, and those from outside that history and culture are very unlikely to share these traditions. Even those born within them can lose them when, as now, they are no longer inculcated and actively denigrated. But outsiders will never possess them absent indoctrination in and adoption of our ways. Diversity really isn't our strength.

The Irish Green Party followed many on the left around the world, including our own Democratic Party, this week and came out for censorship and speech controls. Indeed, the party went full Orwellian as its chairwoman Pauline O’Reilly called for “restricting freedom” to protect it.

Speaking before the Irish Senate (Seanad) this week, Green Party chairwoman Pauline O’Reilly declared “when one thinks about it, all law and all legislation is about the restriction of freedom. This is exactly what we are doing here. We are restricting freedom but we are doing it for the common good.”

There was some comedy/movie ... the guy has a breakthrough ... then the psychiatrist brings up some other issue, and he flips back into depression. (her point) ...

And, same as with COVID, your grandmother was right.

Cover your mouth when you sneeze, stay home if you're sick, and don't get right up on people.

And full immersion is the only real way to learn a language. The press 2 for Spanish was a way to make sure the folks speaking Spanish never became part of America, but remained a separate culture. And it worked wonderfully.

272 U2 and Bono are hugely popular in Ireland because they were part of the wave of Ireland morphing from a backwater into a prosperous state that punched above its weight.

Van is still the greatest. And Irish. And he lives in the same Dublin suburb as Bono.

283 ||The future of a bronze eagle which once adorned the Nazi-era battleship Admiral Graf Spee remains uncertain after plans to melt it down were scrapped.

Treasure hunters raised the eagle in 2006 off the coast of Uruguay, where the Graf Spee had been scuttled in 1939 to stop it falling into enemy hands.

A court ruled last year that it belonged to the Uruguayan state, in whose waters it was found.||

(In part) You might have trouble fighting your way out from an Opposing Force with two pistol mags. OpFor is likely trained, disciplined, maybe even some experience.

A mob though? Shoot the loud one in the front and the conniving one running things from the rear, and watch the "mob" do as mobs do. Which, is when faced with overwhelming and deadly force, by one with the will to USE IT, flee like the rats that they are.
