The penultimate Friday Links post for 2022. Always assuming I actually get one out next week. Anyway, I am not going to do a year in review. I hope everyone has a good holiday weekend, whatever you are celebrating.
The Other McCain is up first with People Never Ask Me for Advice. On football and politics...
The more you care about politics, the harder it becomes to escape feelings of helpless despair, a sense of futility caused by your inability to influence events, because nobody seems to be listening. You understand what Ecclesiates is getting at: “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!”
Impro Guns - FGC-9 Everywhere. Click thru for the photos!
It looks like people all over Europe and Asia are printing FGC-9s and no one can do anything to stop it.
Meep on Death and Taxes - More on Correlating COVID Vax Status with Traffic Risk
How many times do people have to learn what correlations mean? NOT CAUSATION
Steve MacDonald at Granite Grok - Fifth Circuit Court Tosses Another Biden Vaccine Mandate
People will put up with a lot for a federal contract. And the fear culture inspired many to cave early, but resistance is not futile. There’s been pushback. One such instance was a Biden order that all Federal COntractors mandate COVID-19 vaccination or they could (would) lose their contracts.
You could hear the ‘F**k You! for miles. And that shout heard ’round the world just won in court.
Don Surber - Biden investigates school library for removing child pornography
No federal agency comments on pending investigations They just leak it to gullible reporters who tell only the fed side of the story.
Wombat-socho at The Other McCain - Gone To The Dogs
O, the shame. O, the embarrassment. While compiling the last book post, I inadvertently omitted The Best Tweets From Actuary Problem Dog, originally recommended by In The Mailbox’s Favorite Actuary, Mary Pat (“Meep”) Campbell.
Pirate's Cove - With Police Departments Shortstaffed, Activists See A Chance To Change Departments
Here’s the question: was the whole defund the police movement just something that blew up and it unintentionally led to this point? Or was it planned behind the scenes, knowing that officers would quit after all the vitriol thrown their way, after being denigrated, after being limited in their ability to do their jobs, after being targeted by lunatic left wing politicians?
Again from Impro Guns - SMGs seized by NSW Police. And again, click thru for photos.
A Luty SMG and Professor Parabellum box tube MAC-11 seized by New South Wales Police.
The American Conservative - 'The Most Dangerous Show on Netflix'? On the show Ancient Apocalypse by Graham Hancock.
Hancock’s claims aren’t “dangerous” or “racist.” They are countercultural. These vile smears are the thrashings of a runaway monoculture that suppresses the discussion of any ideas that challenge prevailing narratives, especially from sources outside of mainstream, credentialed, left-of-center media and academia.
Adaptive Curmudgeon - Attack Of The Lesbian Activist Squirrels: Chapter 9: Part 07: Show Don’t Tell
I’m having a heck of a time getting posts out this week. Someone ordered up another winter storm and I’m working my butt off just keeping the pipes thawed.
The ornament. LMAO! Love it!
