    this one hits a bit different from a legal and PR perspective.  like the fired bullet can’t be put back in the chamber, they can’t unfuck this one.  the damage is done, no walking it back.  
     

    even if they’re willing to reneg on everything they just claimed re: autism (but they won’t…these Trumpian fuckasses’ MO is to never admit error), J&J/Kenvue has still suffered irreparable damages to reputation and is now and will continue to suffer pecuniary losses.  
     

    and J & J has leverage here: they just committed to investing ~$500 mil in a domestic production facility that the admin was recently touting.  
     

    “oh the hell you say what about Tylenol?  we’re having second thoughts on that facility due to the very recent downturn in stock because of this.  btw, here’s your lawsuit.”

    they’re kind of sitting real purty on this one, and if they’re committed to best practices as a corporate enterprise they’ll file quickly and give no quarter.  
     

    “Lanier Law Firm, how can I help you?  Mark Lanier?  And who may I  ask is calling?  Oh, let me put you  right through.”

    thinking on this...if we ('surly oligarch class' 😄) are starting to 🤨 and even be a little 😬 ourselves at the direction costs are heading...i can only imagine what the majority of americans are experiencing 😒 yikes.

    oh well. most of them probably shouldn't have voted for the guy who had a written, published plan that said this is exactly what he was going to do i guess.

     

    Good. Everyone should feel the pain of electing the dumbest people to positions of power.

    I always have my ears open at the register for sticker shock from others. I enjoy engaging with others in public about our stupid leaders. Putting a voice to the pain is a small way to make people think.

    Florida moves to end all vaccine mandates in schools. Coming soon to every other red state, I assume.


    Oklahoma will be all in on this.

    75% of the time I go visit my family in oklahoma, I come back with some sickness. It’s a gross state. A petri dish of stupidity.

    Guess I’ll be headed to Europe to catch at least one of the Radiohead shows. You have to wonder if these may be the last shows for them. 

    The instructions on radiohead’s website give me the sense that those of us in the US are unlikely to get tickets.

    I don't know if you are aware of this but GA-20 is pretty much a different band these days.

    The lead singer (Pat) and drummer (Tim) left to form Canyon Lights.  

    The guitarist for GA-20 kept the name and brought on new members.  I think the new guy's voice is a definite step down from Pat Faherty's and his hair is like 10 steps down.

    Bummer. Thanks for the heads up.

    This made me laugh. I can see the history course offered in 50 years.
