  1. I posted this story up thread, about how my SiL showed up for her procedure on time, but the anesthesiologist did not. She was given fentanyl, too, and had to ask for more of it during the procedure.
  2. A month ago? Fine. No longer relevant. Read more at my link.
  3. DT gonna CR. ”Factcheck: Was the LAFD budget cut? No, it actually increased. Here’s how.” https://www.dailynews.com/2025/01/09/factcheck-was-the-lafd-budget-cut-no-it-actually-increased-heres-how/
  4. Sentenced to unconditional release. Edit: make that “unconditional discharge.” After a felony conviction, with aggravating factors. Absolutely no remorse from the convicted felon. Might as well rename the DoJ. Ain’t no justice when the rich and powerful cannot be held to account.

  6. Yeah, you ought be more concerned with the number of deaths of pregnant Texans. That is something that concerns me. Would that all hacks were honest enough to couch their conclusions as such: “All the research points to Texas’ abortion ban as the primary driver of this alarming increase.” “Points to” is open ended enough to invite counter arguments; you offered yours. So, you, too are a hack?
  7. Here is how I described that report: “but these researchers said Texas’ abortion ban is the main reason behind Texas’ quintupling the national increase.” I don’t get your complaint.
  8. Fuck off. I posted an NBC report on a claim by GERI. I next posted a propublica report that inferred any conclusion on CDC data was suspect due to info-silo, dark ages laws. I also reiterated, repeatedly, that Texas quintupled the national increase of maternal death.
  9. She seemed comfortable kneeling, as she exited their pew row. His exit gratified, for the expectation he could not ignore, and the pain shown through his body language in his attempt to comply.
  10. Explain it to me like I’m in seventh grade. I see an increase in maternal deaths in Texas that is half a magnitude greater than the average increase across the country, between ‘19 and ‘22.
  11. The sense of loss is quite strong right now.
  12. Michelle reportedly has scheduling conflicts, and is in Hawaii. Meaning, imo, turnip is in that building.
  13. You saw Mondale’s son reading a eulogy penned by his late father.
  14. Morning. The data from 2019 and the data from 2022. 2020 and 2021 show the Covid spike. ”Among Hispanic women, the rate of women dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after increased from 14.5 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2019 to 18.9 in 2022. Rates among white women nearly doubled — from 20 per 100,000 to 39.1. And Black women, who historically have higher chances of dying while pregnant, during childbirth or soon after, saw their rates go from 31.6 to 43.6 per 100,000 live births.”
  15. Nah. I’ll watch a movie with my wife, and then go to bed. You have the genuine curiosity. I’m pissed maternal mortality has spiked. Edit: However, the ban on abortion: “Went into effect on August 25, 2022, 30 days after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade. This law makes no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.”
  16. From the link in the NBC article: ”While maternal mortality spiked overall during the pandemic, women dying while pregnant or during childbirth rose consistently in Texas following the state’s ban on abortion, according to the Gender Equity Policy Institute.”
  17. No. Increase in maternal deaths year to year is pretty simple. Your beef is with the conclusions, reported by NBC, and claimed by the Gender Equality Research Institute, which attribute Texas’ quintupling the national average of maternal mortality to anti choice laws. Claims which I think I described accurately. The data GERI used to make their claim was from the CDC. But, go ahead, and make your own claim, based on data which is designed by law to be opaque.
  18. The data is from the last link I posted. Your question is the reason for propublica’s release cited in my post #6237. Texas law forbids review of data from maternal death that is considered abortion related. Another example of Rs fucking up government, in order to “prove” government doesn’t work. But, maternal death, in raw numbers, doesn’t require statistical analysis to fact check. Algebra works just fine.
  19. From here, I presume. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/maternal-mortality/2021/maternal-mortality-rates-2021.htm
  20. Tax wealth, in addition to income. Borrowing money backed by stock? Only if taxes were paid in the acquisition of that stock. Inheriting stock valued in excess of seven figures? Tax that wealth, to create the new baseline.
  21. Not only misinformation, but whole scale information siloing, is a primary reason turnip won this election. Just saying.
