Look, this is a silly argument. I just ask questions. And I’m glad to know there’s somebody with the answers and can provide me some comic relief. Thank you.

@antipodean It was right there from the first draft. No stealth edits — hell, it’s even in your quote, and I cannot alter that. Washington Post. Wall Street Journal, too. Have a go at them while you’re at it.

@antipodean said in Coronavirus - Overall:
You know why experts tend to couch their statements?
Yeah, like politicians. Many of these “experts” have helped get us to where we are right now.
Because they acknowledge the possibility of new evidence.
Exactly. Facts on the ground change. And new reports are coming out this hour that the Chinese destroyed evidence.
I’m reading reports. Is it fabricated nonsense? Could be. Don’t shoot the messenger.
I'll take people who know what they're talking about over talking foreheads and journalists.
Okay, so no evidence was destroyed. End of. Next.

@antipodean What, I gotta explain comedy now? This might have been the first time, certainly in the past twenty years, that I think I’ve seen-or-heard the Washington Post referred as an “et al” appended in relation to Fox News. Contextually funny. It’s not a huge laugh, but it makes me giggle.

@antipodean funny how you single out fox.
Why is it funny?
Where do you get your science from, then? Twitter?
The guy you quoted sums up thusly:
“...it appears that the genetic differences in #nCoV2019 are consistent with differences expected to arise during natural evolution,...”
“Appears” means conclusive?

Reports flying around U.S. media today that virus came from Wuhan lab, Chinese authorities knew it, deflected by blaming wet market. Ordinarily I might relegate it to conspiracy talk, which it is, but this ain’t Infowars, it’s coming from Fox News, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post...

@Godder Anybody still read The Beano?

@MiketheSnow said in R.I.P. 2020:
James Drury, The Virginian
Handsome man, rugged babyface made for black & white westerns. He has a small role in Peckinpah’s “Ride the High Country” shot in colour, one of the best westerns of the sixties, maybe ever, but always takes me “out of reality” a little bit when I see him, because he’s supposed to be in b&w.

Lee Majors, Lee J. Cobb and Doug McClure to just to name a few of the other most
The Land That Time Forgot. Me and a mate were talking about Doug McLure this past weekend. Troy Donahue + Doug McClure = “Hi, you may remember me from such films as...”

I grew up with the Goodies, and remember eye-popping when I recognized TBT in the original Willy Wonka (same way when I saw Reggie Perrin show up in 2001: A Space Odyssey). In colour, too. All I ever remember was watching Goodies in b&w on TVNZ pre-colorTV-era, like most of the old Doctor Who’s. In my mind they were all b&w. Was the original Brit production filmed in colour or was it always black & white?

This is from Newsweek and funnily enough they appended a video of Jussie.
RACIST THREATS AND ATTACKS THAT RATTLED A CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS WERE FAKED, POLICE SAY
[...]
Dominguez Peña, who was living in campus housing and named in the threat, found her parked car emitting smoke. Someone had tried to start a fire with a backpack inside the vehicle. The university cancelled all remaining classes that day and the La Verne Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation stepped in to investigate.
The back-to-back incidents rattled the community, forcing the administration to hold town hall-style meetings and cancel more classes the following week. But no arrests were made. Some students blamed the university for allowing racism to fester and warned that it would only be a matter of time before another racist attack. Two months later, Dominguez Peña reported she was attacked by a masked individual who placed a bag and rope over her head, groped her and slammed her head against the railing in a dormitory stairwell.
All the cases remained unsolved—until March 9, 2020. After nearly a year of investigations involving multiple agencies, the LVPD said at a press conference that Dominguez Peña, 25, had faked the threats against herself and others in ten total separate "incidents." The same day, she was arrested on felony charges of making criminal threats and perjury, as well as seven misdemeanors related to electronic impersonation and filing false police reports.

This one might have been more suitable in the Coronavirus thread(s) but I’ll opt for it here. Do I believe it? Mmmmm. It’s kinda incendiary. Is it interesting? Ohfuckyeah!

NYC is the hardest hit region in the United States (by far, and it isn’t close) and trend looking positive. Just 53 admissions in the past 24 hours. Way down.

Hour-plus indie conspiratorial documentary OUT OF SHADOWS dropped on youtube yesterday. Over a million views under 24 hours; another 600K the past 12 hours, it’ll likely hit 2M by tonight. It’s about C.I.A., Hollywood, and predatory sex abuse of minors. Presumably churches have been promoting and spreading it virally on Easter weekend.

Classic.

This has happened 4 of the last 5 weeks — I make money on the Oz races and 12 hours later donate all of it back to the U.S. tracks.
And so the cycle repeats.
The early $1 Daily Double at Gulfstream today paid $1,500
and the late Daily Double at Oaklawn that finished an hour ago paid out $5.6K on a $2 bet.
Doubles ffs!!
(The $1 Pick 3 paid $17K; the 60-cent Pick 4 (Quaddie) paid $32K; and the 60-cent Pick 5 paid $354K.)
