  1. Exceeds the value of the gross domestic product of a fifth of the world's countries. https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by-country/
  2. man that's fucked up. arson on a fucking aircraft carrier? i wonder if that is most expensive arson ever.
  3. My opinion: the Simone Biles thing isn’t really political. It is “edgy” to have some negative opinion of her. And having a desire to have edgy opinion is the same drive that makes people be a loud right wing shitlord. So you see a lot of the same people express it even though it is really more about a person’s desire to be viewed as shitty. Thin hair to split, but I think it is real.
  4. Lulz at “I’ve got top secret clearance, so I give me access to places that are restricted on basis other than secrecy.”
  5. Tell him Biden numquam pronunciare mendacium /braveheart but as for the bolded,
  6. The cooler article from yesterday has me convinced this problem is 99% fear of looking wrong. We need to focus our efforts on creating structures for people to not be wrong about their position to now and still result in a shot. 1) "Wow, delta is way different from before. It wasn't clear a shot was the right path before, but now the risks are really too high." 2) "Wow, all that data coming in shows the vaccines are great. It was pretty crazy to be leading the charge in getting shots, but now everything has been verified." 3) "Wow, this J&J version 2.0 provides way better immunity than the previous ones. That goodness we waited so we get the prime vaccine." Messages like that needs to be disseminated all the time now.
  7. Cool cool. S&P up, DJIA up. Let’s just hop in the car to check my account, which is basically just a pile of PayPal.
  8. More like taken from r/dataisAIDS with that garbage legend.
  9. looks like two things most predictive of not getting jabbed are being black and being a trump voter. Well, good luck AL, MS, LA, because those are your only choices there.
  10. one of my favorites. always dug the mexicutioner name, always dug his "no, man, it's cool, but seriously my country is really violent. let's not" reaction to it.
  11. Maybe all the right wingers giving permission to their flock to get shots is working. Sarah sanders had that article in AR, Tuberville had some statement.
  12. probably doubles as a pretty good comorbidity chart
  13. can't really gauge whether the differences in vaccine rates are enough to result in different paths at this time. they are at 126 doses per 100 people, we are 103.
  14. wow. the differences are huge. https://www.brookings.edu/research/new-census-data-shows-the-nation-is-diversifying-even-faster-than-predicted/ figured it would be a year or two difference. I had no idea.
  15. it's really the only thing that will save us. it's going to be a nail biter in 3 years when the vote is a hundred million rabid trump fans against whatever support a sundowning geriatric or whatever member of the short D bench steps up.
  16. Same. Seeing that regard from AL or whatever get interviewed in the hospital bed and still be a denier opened my eyes. At the beginning of the pandemic I thought that a personal connection would help people so I hoped for someone that everyone loved like Tom Hanks very publicly get it and die. He would basically be a stand in for everyone’s neighbor. Now I’m sure it wouldn’t have mattered, so you know, sorry I wished you were dead Tom.
  17. So does this mean D’s voted for him or did Rs reject the Trump candidate.
  18. Dad of my high school girlfriend just died from COVID. Evidently fully vaccinated. Probably 75 years old. That would make him one of the few.
  19. that would be miles from the concept of the show in my opinion. it would be season 8 of game of thrones level character incongruity. but i thought that last episode was quite bad and much closer to some third rock quality sitcom, so who knows.
  20. Sounds anecdotal and doesn't jibe with anything you read anywhere else. Latinos in Texas are getting vaxxed at about 80% the clip everyone else. Basically all other states show them lagging. They are closing the gap now (seemingly because we've hit a hard plateau on whites and not yet on minorities), but definitely not enough to be dark like that map shows My guess is there some math issues. Either people are coming over from Mexico and getting a shot, which ups the numerator artificially, or we aren't counting all the people in the county (e.g., because of citizenship) which drops the denominator. Or both. But you basically cannot have both the Latino numbers that low in all the reporting and the border counties that high, given the demographics of those counties.
