MrMojok posted:About this poo poo in Portland... I guess Barr and cronies have scoured the books trying to figure out how to make snatching people off the streets and throwing them into unmarked vehicles, as "legal" as possible, and what they've come up with is some kind of perversion of law to ostensibly defend "federal sites" using ICE and border patrol, services closely aligned with his ideological... uhh... thinking? There is no 4 dimensional chess going on, it's literally just "they're opposing me, arrest them".

Donald once again proves that he's the biggest little whiny, petulant, petty piece of poo poo. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/17/politics/white-house-portraits-clinton-bush-trump/index.html White House portraits of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush moved from prominent space to rarely used room quote:WASHINGTON (CNN) - The official portraits of former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were removed from the Grand Foyer of the White House within the last week, aides told CNN, and replaced by those of two Republican presidents who served more than a century ago.

oh my god these idiots that did the twitter hack are talking to the media https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/technology/twitter-hackers-interview.html quote:The interviews indicate that the attack was not the work of a single country like Russia or a sophisticated group of hackers. Instead, it was done by a group of young people — one of whom says he lives at home with his mother — who got to know one another because of their obsession with owning early or unusual screen names, particularly one letter or number, like @y or @6. @fart gonna get gulaged

Bored As gently caress posted:Donald once again proves that he's the biggest little whiny, petulant, petty piece of poo poo. quote:The Bush portrait has been replaced by that of William McKinley, the nation's 25th president, who was assassinated in 1901, and the Clinton portrait has been replaced by one of Theodore Roosevelt, who succeeded McKinley, three people who have seen the portraits this week tell CNN. There are some highly inappropriate remarks to make here.

Those are some incredibly arbitrary cutoffs between the color shades - 620? 1070? 1622? Yup. It uses a continuous color gradient then flips to red above the arbitrary cutoff making it look like theres only specific hot spots instead of poo poo getting higher and higher leading up to the red etc. If I had to design something to minimize how you would interpret an obvious dataset I'd have done nearly this.

Absolutely. Whatever you want to say about T. Roosevelt, he was a man of action. Trump is like the opposite of that. Whatever adsorbs action like a black hole, that’s what Trump is.

Although honestly the most violent president was probably Andrew Jackson. Someone pulls a revolver and tries to shoot him? Not only does it misfire, Jackson starts beating the poor bastard half to death with his cane.

The region I live in currently has relaxed restrictions as long as the 7-day-rolling average stays below 35 new infections per 100,000 residents, most other states in Germany have that threshold at 50. That means we get to go to work with localized restrictions like masks and social distancing. It also means that all the people that don't have the privilege of working from home get to work with similar containment measures in place. Increased restrictions go into effect once we go above that number of 35 new infections. There are currently two "counties" in Germany that are above the 50 new-infection-threshold that "suffer" from increased regulations. On the first of July, America had more than ONE THOUSAND counties well above that threshold. https://twitter.com/stejormur/status/1278366130009186305 And that was more than two weeks ago, before the spike really kicked in. Jesus Christ.

Thanks for the reminder that America has Big Number while other countries have Low Number. Sorry if I seem cranky but we're suffering and dying from a pandemic that is going almost completely uncontrolled in our country so forgive me for reacting like a Syrian schoolchild being told that American schools have Coke Freestyle machines.

My favorite story along these lines is that Israel freaked out and shut down their schools after their country spiked to... 1929 in a day. That's like a fifth of Florida and DeSantis is keeping everything open. Even our well-managed state is averaging about 600/day and poo poo is getting worse. Other countries are freaking out if they hit 150!
