Gerald L.K. Smith was a Nazi...

Not like James Eastland was better.

"I have no prejudice in my heart, but the white race is the superior race and the Negro race an inferior race and the races must be kept separate by law."

On Brown v. Board of Education: "On May 17, 1954, the Constitution of the United States was destroyed because of the Supreme Court's decision. You are not obliged to obey the decisions of any court which are plainly fraudulent sociological considerations." and "The Southern institution of racial segregation or racial separation was the correct, self-evident truth which arose from the chaos and confusion of the Reconstruction period. Separation promotes racial harmony. It permits each race to follow its own pursuits, and its own civilization. Segregation is not discrimination ... Mr. President, it is the law of nature, it is the law of God, that every race has both the right and the duty to perpetuate itself. All free men have the right to associate exclusively with members of their own race, free from governmental interference, if they so desire."

Imagine if doing a round of Chemo massively reduced your chance of ever getting cancer.

I am not sure how to just incase, nor whether just incasing is good or bad to these people.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

The opposite actually exists - get the HPV vaccine and you have a much reduced risk of cancer.

But I guess not for the anti-vax idiots.

I love the obligatory spelling/grammar mistakes in these "memes".  :lol:

The Minsky Moment

Imagine if every combat death in US history could have been avoided by a simple and safe injection that rendered the troops invulnerable.  What would we think about people who did everything they could to prevent and suppress the use of that treatment?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Maybe not so for the mother :D

Impressive speed by the baby, and impressive tackling by the mom.

Something smells off there. How on earth would a two year old get through the barriers and have that much of a headstart?

Further down the thread (https://twitter.com/GeoffONeil/status/1424425739084988422) you can see the scene at ground level and it shows that there's only a really flimsy barrier between the seats and the pitch.

Because a two year old is small and fast.  If you look a way for just a second a kid can get into all sorts of trouble.  Kids that age are exhausting.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Heh I used a halter on mine when out walking near traffic - at that age, kids seem perversely set on suicide. They can run like greased lightning and will dart out into traffic without a qualm.

People would make funny remarks about keeping a kid on a leash - much preferable to suffering the anxiety of not having them under control.
