    I saw a wad of chewing gum that someone spit out on the sidewalk. That is morally superior to Rush Limbaugh.

    McClatchy files for bankruptcy:


    https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article240139933.html


    Between 2006 and 2018, McClatchy’s advertising revenue fell by 80 percent and daily print circulation fell by 58.6 percent. While the company has worked over three years to achieve a more sustainable 50-50 split of print vs. digital advertising, those gains couldn’t outpace the approaching pension and debt obligations.

    In filing for Chapter 11, McClatchy is following a familiar path for legacy newspaper companies; most other major newspaper companies, including Tribune, Lee Co. and New Media/Gatehouse, which recently acquired Gannett, preceded McClatchy on this bankruptcy restructuring path.

    McClatchy’s new owners will face the same “fundamental headwinds” that have driven mergers and closures, said Anthony Campagna, director of research for ISS EVA, a provider of analytics and market intelligence to investors.

    So the big story from the end of last week was that the Russians are trying to help Trump and Sanders again. But then again, maybe not.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/23/poli...russian-interference-trump-sanders/index.html

    "The US intelligence community's top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community's formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN."

    I will bet a trillion internet dollars that those NS officials are of the Pompeo-Jared ilk. Why be a stenographer for liars? This article should never have seen the light of day if the officials refused to give their names.

    Yeah - the point is basically now to prevent Congress getting any intel that the administration doesn't like.

    HIV and the Coronavirus are a bit different.

    I mean unless Pence was all about let's just pray for the gays as his healthcare prevention. But that would be more about his Christianity.

    Pence doesn't believe in evolution. I'd like to see him try and explain how this virus started infecting humans.

    Yes, they are. But outbreaks r outbreaks and a rapid, science-based response is important. Mike thought those smack-shooting sinners in Indiana got what they deserved. No executive of a state or country should put their personal beliefs above the health of their constituents. He's a much sicker fvck than I had realized. Just use your google machine to check:

    As late as early March 2015, Pence still resisted calls to establish needle exchange programs even though state legislators from Pence’s own party were now advocating for them. Pence supported the federal ban on needle exchange and also his state’s prohibition; a Republican state legislator, Ed Clere, told a reporter that Pence’s staff members “made it clear that he was categorically opposed to syringe exchange, period.”

    However, after meeting with officials from the Indiana State Department of Health and the CDC, and an evening telephone conversation with Scott County Sheriff Daniel McClain on March 23rd, Pence said he would “go home and pray on it.”

    So he did finally allow for HIV testing and needle exchanges in the county. But also did this:

    On the same day, however, Pence also undermined the effects of the new law, signing another bill that toughened the punishment for people found carrying needles. It upgraded possession of a syringe with intent to commit an offense with a controlled substance from a misdemeanor to a felony charge, subject to imprisonment for up to 2.5 years. Criminalizing possession of syringes, even clean ones, without a prescription undermines efforts to slow transmission of HIV among injection drug users, and
    may actually encourage needle sharing.

    The damage was done: by 2017, a total of 215 cases of HIV infection had been attributed to the outbreak. When we performed our analysis of the the Indiana outbreak, we found that undiagnosed HIV infections peaked about 2 months before Pence declared a public health emergency—after the rise of HIV had been detected, but before the governor chose to act. Using a mathematical model of epidemic dynamics, we estimated that up to 127 HIV infections could have been averted if Pence had implemented public health measures like HIV testing and needle exchange proactively in 2013, when he had been urged to do so by experts in his state.

    It is what happens when white haired men are left unchaperoned with women not their wives.

    It is not evolution, it is God's will.

    That's just what I have been saying. God does not want Donald Trump and Mike Pence to have second terms. I can't blame Her for that.

    She has a wicked sense of humour, though. See human genitals, the platypus and the success of Queen & Nickelback. This means we're getting a 2nd Trump term.

    I saw a platypus last week. Weird mofo. Smaller than I had thought, too.

    I read something a few weeks ago that said Sid Vicious was a better player toward the end of his life than people gave him credit for. I don't think he'd have been ready for John Deacon's spot, tho. Maybe Jamerson's?

    If you watch their last show at the Winterland Ballroom, Sid was still playing like it was his first time holding an instrument. For punk bassists, I like Matt Freeman from Rancid even if he has poor taste in soccer teams.

    According the Encycolpedia Googlicus, I'm sub-optimally correct here. It's actually Rancid's drummer who is a stupid RSL fan and their singer is an even stupider Earfquakes fan.

    Googled him. He was part of Joy Division and New Order.

    They knew their way around their instruments, so not punk
