    Cool. Let’s re litigate the pros and cons US Covid policy from 3-4 years ago right here. That will solve some shit. Finally.

    “Were you better off 4 years ago?” is a big part of this election.

    Trump's anti-vaccine rhetoric turbo-charged the antivax movement, and we're now seeing the re-emergence of polio and measles. It's now political to be vaccinated or not. 

    Trump made it political. 

     

    I don't think he should be held criminally liable for COVID deaths (and maladministration is really hard to prosecute), but he shouldn't be fucking let off the hook as you're suggesting.

    While simultaneously taking credit for the fucking vaccine!

  4. I heard the whole album twice last night at one of the theater listening events.  I liked it.  The 3 that have been released wouldn't be amongst the best songs on it imo.  Mike and Matt are working hard on this one and I think pretty much every song they end up playing live will be better than on the record. Upper Hand is probably my early fave.

    Baby Reindeer. Wow - that was unlike anything I’ve seen and I think it’s about to blow up. Was it amazing? Possibly. I need to process, it definitely wasn’t what I expected. The fact this is based on a true story and the guy is playing himself is incredible. I’m excited to see what Surly thinks.

    really good and very well done.

  6. I’ve probably changed my opinion on the Ryder Cup too because I love the Ryder Cup and want to see the best Euro golfers out there. If we can have Koepka then they should probably have Rahm. 

  7. Michigan and five individuals who currently or previously worked for its football program have reached an agreement with NCAA enforcement staff on recruiting violations and coaching activities by noncoaching staff members that occurred within the football program, and the appropriate penalties for those violations. A Committee on Infractions panel has approved the agreement. One former coach did not participate in the agreement, and that portion of the case will be considered separately by the Committee on Infractions, after which the committee will release its full decision. 

    The agreed-upon violations involve impermissible in-person recruiting contacts during a COVID-19 dead period, impermissible tryouts, and the program exceeding the number of allowed countable coaches when noncoaching staff members engaged in on- and off-field coaching activities (including providing technical and tactical skills instruction to student-athletes).  The negotiated resolution also involved the school's agreement that the underlying violations demonstrated a head coach responsibility violation and the former football head coach failed to meet his responsibility to cooperate with the investigation. The school also agreed that it failed to deter and detect the impermissible recruiting contacts and did not ensure that the football program adhered to rules for noncoaching staff members.

    The committee will not discuss further details in the case to protect the integrity of the ongoing process, as the committee's final decision — including potential violations and penalties for the former coach — is pending.

    By separating the cases, the Division I Committee on Infractions publicly acknowledges the infractions case and permits the school and the participating individuals to immediately begin serving their penalties while awaiting the committee's final decision on the remaining contested portion of the case. That decision will include any findings and penalties for the former coach. This is the fourth case where the committee has used multiple resolution paths. 

    The agreed-upon penalties in this case include three years of probation for the school, a fine and recruiting restrictions in alignment with the Level I-Mitigated classification for the school. The participating individuals also agreed to one-year show-cause orders consistent with the Level II-Standard and Level II-Mitigated classifications of their respective violations.
