Good morning.  

Here is FIRE's top ten (bottom ten, really) worst colleges/universities in the US for free speech.

OH, YAY, MY ALMA MATER IS ON THAT LIST.   And that's why I don't give them squat.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, Sept 13.


From the ISW, which, like all sources, should taken with a grain of salt.

Very expensive day.  And it's only going to get more so.  On the other hand, when I come out the other side I will own a house free and clear (in addition to two cars owned free and clear). Moving costs and my new bed should be covered by the remains of my escrow account.

Expensive hurts, but far less debt? Yes, please. Congrats as you make progress. 

Meanwhile, I continue to fight doctors at every turn. Today's visit was a nice exception, as this one listens to me. If only we could duplicate such men.

So Denmark has stopped recommending COVID boosters of any kind, although people can request them, of course. This is the second or third (fourth? fifth?) country that has stopped recommending them. Meanwhile, here in the US the CDC wants to make the COVID booster a yearly thing. A friend mentioned to me she keeps having a reaction to her COVID booster, and I've suggested she stop taking them, but she resolutely believes the CDC knows what it is doing, even when stories come out that the CDC didn't do the data analysis they are mandated to do in their COVID vaccine reviews during rollout.

Given the Kremlin's reluctance to acknowledge much of anything that's actually happening in the Ukraine War, could we summarize their military doctrine on this point as "Donbas/Don't Tell"?

That sounds good.

But I must remind you, again, that your new house is built on land that was stolen from Native Aboriginal Indigenous Peopleses; and your cars are... um, made from car parts... stolen from Native Aboriginal Indigenous Peopleses

I'm sorry, but I'm going to need to see proof of ownership from this Peopleses group.

So, it looks like we might have a freight rail strike, just to make everything even MORE fun.

Stock up on... everything(?).

All human culture derives from a single source

Human beings began in Africa.

No way we can do that; we don't have enough on the shelves to prepare for that.

Huh?  I guess I've missed this (and I'm kind of glad...)

Fine. I am often too busy to set up a pub thread for just one or two customers.

In fact, I will be going to bed soon.

Californians get used to life in Texas

Well, there ain't not much crime around here

Why?

'Cause everyone has got a gun
