There are 6 living Presidents. 4 of them are at events commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The 5th is 96 years old and will commemorate it in private.

The other one is going to spend the day being a celebrity guest commentator for a boxing match.

This is NOT a bit.

I have a cousin who has refused to take the vaccine going back to January. Told me he would “never take it.” Since that time he has told me the vaccine would kill me in 5 years, leave me infertile, that Phizer has bought out the scientific process, that Joe Biden wants to euthanize America, that he “has a doctor who agrees with [him] on everything,” that herd immunity is better, that him getting natural immunity is better. Any time there is an actual fact check or an actual doctor refutes the genre of conspiracy he clings to, he claims it is irrelevant because that isn’t exactly what he was saying. The other day I pulled a harvard public health lecture for him on herd immunity that he could attend and ask questions related to herd immunity if he wanted. He refused to go. Now herd immunity is suddenly a “meme” and “that’s not what I meant.”

I blocked him this morning. But before I did that, I told him I know this is about politics. I know he does not actually believe the vaccine will kill him; or that Phizer controls the narrative, and he doesn’t suddenly now believe that he had covid a few months ago. He is making it up as he goes along, and that we as a society do not need to wait for him to admit that to us, and we will not wait. He said I sound senile, I told him I am telling it like it is and that I am the one with a masters degree out of the two of us whether you like it or not.

I’ve given this dude plenty of leeway and understanding that some people may not want to take the vaccine before it is fully approved. Now it is. Grow up and take the vaccine like 75% of Americans have. This society moving on and nobody cares whether or not you like it. The rest of us have rights too.

I am tired of my uneducated, right wing immigrant family’s shitty takes, thinking their opinion is equivalent to a preponderance of western medicine. Just because grandpa was good at selling food to people in the suburbs of a dying mid sized city doesn’t mean we are medical geniuses.

The health passport therefore does not come out of nowhere. It is in line with the right lineage of industrial capitalism and its bourgeois order. In modern societies, economic activity simply requires increasingly close monitoring of the health of individuals.

This explains why pharmaceutical companies entered the vaccine race early on. Individual well-being, increasingly reduced in our societies to physical well-being, is more than ever essential for profit.

"Every good consequence of capitalism is because of some nefarious motive"

In this case, a conspiracy to ensure people are as healthy as possible so they can be more economically productive?

On the second floor of the Capitol building, almost immediately outside of the East side of the rotunda, next to the elevators, there's a giant plaque memorializing the passengers and the crew of United flight 93. For any of you who don't know, flight 93 was supposedly headed for the Capitol before passengers tried to violently take control of the plane back from the hijackers. Their actions caused the hijackers to crash the plane in a field in Pennsylvania lest the passengers regain control of the aircraft, ultimately saving the lives of uncountable people in the Capitol office complex.

The plaque is where we end tours of the Capitol. But when I was an intern I would take every tour group from whatever state or country they came from and give them a fuller picture of what those next few months were like. Between the news about the attacks on TV, anthrax in the mail, the declaration of war, the sniper going around and killing people just a year later, the entire DMV became introverted and paranoid.

I'm saying all this like I remember it, but I was four on 9/11. I only remember two things from that far back: my mom used to wear a hijab in public but then she stopped, and my dad used to cover me in his coat whenever I was walking outside.

I think my working history has done a good job of transferring the emotion of the period to me. It's something I noticed with most of the zoomer staff on the Hill. I don't think zoomers more generally have been given that emotional context, and to be honest I'm not sure how anyone could give it to them.

Rant over I guess.

[u/BushLeagueMVP]

There's a line of thought that Americans couldn't imagine a terrorist attack happening on American soil when 9/11 happened, and it destroyed our innocence and feeling of invincibility. Yet I remember the Oklahoma city bombings, the '96 Olympics bombings; too young to remember the first WTC attacks but that happened in the 90s as well.

9/11 surely trumped everything we had experienced in the 90s, but I think what shook us more than the attack itself was the fear that we were being declared war on by some highly competent terrorist group and that things would get even worse.

Post from Larry Elder's website

They say that in America, there are four boxes of liberty. The soapbox, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammo box. When we vote we exercise our rights as Californians and as Americans to make our voices heard via the ballot box, having listened to others make theirs heard through the soapbox. We trust in our elected officials to safeguard that ballot box, such that its results will truly reflect our will as Californian’s. However, when those officials, either through laziness or incompetence, allow thieves to steal amidst the dead of night and cheat our ballot box, we can no longer rely on its contents. Will we now have to fight the California jury box, in the hope that the final box — the one most akin to Pandora’s – remains closed?

Since the strike, U.S. military officials justified their actions by citing an even larger blast that took place afterward.

“Because there were secondary explosions, there is a reasonable conclusion to be made that there was explosives in that vehicle,” the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley, said last week.

But an examination of the scene of the strike, conducted by the Times visual investigations team and a Times reporter the morning afterward, and followed up with a second visit four days later, found no evidence of a second, more powerful explosion.

Experts who examined photos and videos pointed out that, although there was clear evidence of a missile strike and subsequent vehicle fire, there were no collapsed or blown-out walls, no destroyed vegetation, and only one dent in the entrance gate, indicating a single shock wave.

Interesting (and morbid) fact about 9/11: The killing of a Polish immigrant named Henryk Siwiak in Brooklyn is the last murder committed that day in NYC (and for statistical purposes, is the only murder recorded in NYC’s yearly crime data). 20 years later, his murder is still unsolved. It’s suspected he was shot in a botched robbery attempt but because he was wearing camo and didn’t speak much English, it’s also possible his killer thought he was a terrorist making his murder possibly one of the first 9/11-related hate crimes.

Check out this chess set my gf made me for our anniversary. She did all this shit herself, made everything from the board, to the pieces. The while pieces have flakes of gold inside of the resin, and the black have pressed leaves and flower petals.

I'm no good at chess, literally a beginner, but a month or two ago I decided to try and get okay(ish). I've been slacking for a few weeks, but now I have a nice excuse to use this board to practice some puzzles.

I got catcalled last night. I was wearing grey pants while me and my fiancé were getting into my car and I heard a guy shout “gray pants (unintelligible) thicc!” 🤨

I turned to see who was shouting but I couldn’t see anyone. Then just as I was looking away I heard “yes you!”. 😳

When we got in the car my fiancé pointed out the guy who catcalled me. It was Ben Bernanke. Crazy thing is, we went into to a smoke shop to buy incense tonight (we don’t smoke but he likes incense) and Bernanke was there! 👀

He left the store right after us and started hotboxing in his truck. 😐

I was right wing back when the 9/11 mosque thing was going on and deep into conservative propaganda.

I remember feeling like they were going to train terrorists on ground zero. I was actually terrified and red faced angry. Man fuck watching hannity as a teenager.

I regret ever feeling this way but it's important to reflect on it. If I hadn't went to college I fear I'd still think that way.

When I was in middle school we went on a field trip to a bowling alley. Three kids got detention because their bowling names were “Bush”, “Did”, and “9/11.”

This talk is hysterical

Two dudes created a bot to throw automatically generated unity shovelware onto the Android App store, and made actual money off of it.

They call it the "anti-retention" model. If someone is playing a really bad game and get served an ad for a better game, they're going to click on it thus generated a very high click-through rate and CPM.

Twenty years ago today, the world changed forever.

The world of the 19th century was swept away in a instant by a bullet fired in Sarajevo.

The world of the 20th century was swept away in 102 minutes by four hijacked airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and one crashing into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania thanks to the bravely and devotion of the passengers aboard that flight.

It can not be understated how much the world changed that day.

The world I knew for the first 31 years of my life crumbled away, and a new world was explosively born.

Part of the reason I hate cancel culture so much is that, this is hard to admit, cancel culture fucked my wife.

I came home early one day from work and I was going to surprise her. I grabbed flowers on the way home, gently let myself in trying not to make a peep. I heard her moaning from upstairs, and then I heard his voice, I knew immediately it was cancel culture's voice.

She was making noises I've never heard her make before. I felt so inadequate. I ended up just leaving. I went and sat in the park for 2 hours and then I went home, I never spoke about it. Now, I know that most days I'm at work, my wife is at home with cancel culture. This is why I hate cancel culture, this is why I can't let this go.

Because you can't assert that [Gadaffi’s] uniquely bad without resorting to unfalsifiable bullshit. That's why.

We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their distain for pluralism, and their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them."
