Wow, I am really surprised to see guilty on Murder 2 and Murder 3. Manslaughter was a given. Nice to see justice prevailing. Just remember... if not for Darnella Frazier hitting record on her phone- this is how it would have gone down officially:

Wait Wait wait wait.... so... you're telling me that Don jr. is not a legit New York Times best seller? That he cheated? You're full of ****! 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

I know! I've been walking round all day like:

Oh boy- here we go... let's hope justice prevails:

They should have Mobile units with the vaccines that only require refrigeration. Get the shots TO the schools and have a quick morning/afternoon vaccine session. Teachers NEED to be vaccinated before the transmission in classrooms becomes a huge problem because of the variant.

Ugh, finally. Someone needed to point out that these GQP members criticizing other party members have NO credibility because of their own mess.

Yeah me too. I just wanted an excuse to post Tyrone.

My Crack Habit agrees!

Oh no, over 200 new cases...

Wife and I just got the shot. I am ecstatic. Astrazeneca from local Pharmacy. The dude at Regent Park Pharmacy was awesome. He walked us through everything, assuaged my Wife's and my own concerns. Told us what to expect and what to watch out for. Darrel is awesome!

Here is a handy poster of the new variants

That's good, but much more needs to be done.

So... vaccine hesitancy seems to be an issue with the vaccine rollout. Has anyone seen any sort of campaign to reduce the hesitancy? I haven't seen any. If that's the case that is a huge failure in the roll out... and needs to be addressed.

From what I have read, it works well against The UK variant and the P1 variant in terms of transmissibility and mild to severe symptoms. The south African variant is where things get dicey. it has a 10,9 % efficacy in preventing mild to moderate symptoms. The good news is, so far it has a track record of 100% efficacy against SEVERE symptoms. ANd that is kind of what we want to do... take the shot so we don't die. Sure there are concerns, but the benefits FAR outweigh the miniscule chance of clots. https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-56665396 Handy little chart here: Here are few more articles: https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/news/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-blood-clot/ https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca-benefits-still-outweigh-risks-despite-possible-link-rare-blood-clots

Regent Park Pharmacy has two appointments open this afternoon. Regent Ave W, Winnipeg, MB R2C 1S3 Phone: (204) 222-3257

Just got an appointment for my Wife and myself for tomorrow morning. Called the pharmacy.

Did you call or use the online appointment?

Most police officers and support still want to do good. Are good people. The issue is that "Blue Line", there needs to be systemic change. First off, they need to redivert funds for the police- basically unbundling the police. Take the burden of councilor, social worker and so on, off of policing duties and refocus on where actual police duties need to be. here is a great article on "unbundling the police" https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/unbundle-police/612913/ “Two questions that could guide the reform movement are ‘What is it that police actually do?’ and ‘Why do we need armed police to do it?’” says Patrick Sharkey, a Princeton sociologist. Sharkey is no police-hating radical. He has worked with commissioners across the country, and his research has shown that targeted policing can be effective in reducing crime, especially in the most violent neighborhoods. But he thinks communities ought to experiment with alternative models to policing. “Police presence can reduce violence, but there are lots of other things that reduce violence, too. Business improvement districts reduce violence. University security organizations reduce violence. It’s possible that relying on police isn’t as necessary as we once thought, and that we might even have safer communities without many of them.”

I totally agree with this being the case.

Good for them. I hope we are soon behind.

In case anyone wanted to see the ****** carlson take down on last week tonight:

The pained looks she gives is too funny.

this? https://abc7chicago.com/covid-chidlren-variant-coroanvirus-coronavirus-vaccine/10486843/ "Osterholm previously supported sending children back to school. He said the virus was not a major threat to children. Now, the situation has changed. "Please understand, this B.1.1.7 variant is a brand new ball game," Osterholm said on NBC's Meet the Press. "It infects kids very readily. Unlike previous strains of the virus, we didn't see children under 8th grade get infected often or they were not frequently very ill, they didn't transmit to the rest of the community."

I think Dr. Seuss touched upon that one:

I see your local white supremist law enforcement that donates to white nationalist shooter and raise you white nationalist federal law makers forming a white nationalist caucus in the US congress: I see they've put down the dog whistle... picked up a bull horn, turned it to 11 and are now repeatedly shouting "COME GET YOUR KIBBLES AND BITZ!!!!"
