American Journalist, Grant Wahl Sadly Passes On While Covering World Cup 2022 Match In Qatar

American Journalist, Grant Wahl Sadly Passes On While Covering World Cup 2022 Match In Qatar

American journalist, Grant Wahl, has sadly passed on while covering World Cup 2022 match in Qatar. Multiple reports say he died after collapsing while covering Argentina and Netherlands match on Friday, December 9, 2022. Though circumstances around his death are unclear, the Organizers of the Qatar World Cup said on Saturday that the American journalist fell ill in the press area and he was…

Nearly half of the incidents (117) of hate crime were reported from the Kongu region and nearby, made up of Coimbatore, Erode, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Dindigul, Tirupur as well as parts of Madurai district. This region, which is dominated by the landed and politically influential Gounder and Thevar castes, is otherwise notorious for atrocities against Dalits. Pastors have been evicted from the spaces they rented for prayer meetings, and attacked on accusations of conversion by Hindutva forces, chief among them the Hindu Munnani. The playbook in many attacks in the region is almost identical: identify a church or prayer service, incite the neighbouring residents by claiming conversion, surround and attack the churches, pastors, their families, and prayer halls, get the police involved, and force the landlord to evict them from the premises by threatening further violence.

Eugenics is still the rule of the fucking day.

"People 65-plus and people who are immunocompromised should strongly consider masking during flu, RSV, COVID season while in indoor public spaces," said Dr. Céline Gounder, a CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News. "And for everyone else — it all depends on what their risk tolerance is."

"Depends on what their risk tolerance is." Are you fucking kidding me?

CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook says he likes to use the "weather report analogy" for the general public. "What's the weather out today? If it's raining, you will probably want to bring an umbrella. If you are in an area where there is an uptick in airborne respiratory infections like COVID, flu or RSV, you may want to take extra precautions, such as wearing a high-quality mask in indoor public spaces," he said.

People should be masking up before there's a fucking "uptick." That's how you prevent a fucking "uptick". Especially considering testing isn't the metric the people in power are going by any more, but hospitalizations, which are always going to be lagging indicators. By the time the "uptick" is registered these diseases are going to have been present and active for days or even weeks.

After COVID hospitalizations climbed nearly 22% this week, the CDC is predicting further increases over the coming month as new variants spread. This replaces previous projections from the agency that admissions would "remain stable or have an uncertain trend."

Oh, cool, so things are already bad and the are predicting that things are going to get worse, but the decision is being made to not do a fucking thing about it.

In a 2021 "60 Minutes" interview, virologist Paul Duprex explained the current (and future) emergence of new variants — a concept applicable to the current situation. "Is there anything we can do to stop the virus from mutating so much?" LaPook asked Duprex at the time. "We can certainly stop it making as many mutations by stopping it infecting as many people - if we block its transmission, if we wear a mask, if we get vaccinated, if we do social distancing," Duprex said.

None of which will be happening because "Covid Is Over" and doing any of the necessary things to prevent it are voluntary at best.

After news broke about the BA.2.86 variant earlier this month, the CDC said the agency's advice on protecting yourself from COVID-19 — which includes wearing a high-quality mask among other recommendations listed on its website — "remains the same."

Oh alright let's see what the CDC recommends

In addition to basic health and hygiene practices, like handwashing, CDC recommends some prevention actions at all COVID-19 hospital admission levels, which include:

Ugh. At least its recommendations implicitly admit that covid is airborne.

Still, some experts fear it could be hard to convince Americans to don masks again even if COVID cases continue to rise. Dr. Danielle Ompad, an epidemiologist at the NYU School of Global Public Health, said "It's a bit like putting the genie back in the bottle." Still, she has personally started wearing a mask again recently in crowded places, where the risk of exposure is greater.

Huh, I wonder why it would be hard to convince people to mask up again. Who's responsible for letting the genie out of the fucking bottle? Maybe they should be taken to task for this fucking decision?

"If I were with people who aren't public health-trained, I would wear a mask, particularly in crowded situations, because I really don't have time for COVID. Mask mandates are challenging because they make people really bent out of shape out of proportion to the ask."

What people are getting "really bent out of shape" by mask mandates? Just "people" huh? No specific people at all? Okay then.

"Who wants to get sick while on vacation?" she says. "If you're going to be in a crowded public place — the subway, an airplane, a crowded theater — those are the kind of places I would at least consider wearing a mask."

Hey maybe these fucking super-spreader places shouldn't be open especially with multiple variants spreading across the country with no mask mandates in place.

Though increased cases and hospitalizations are prompting precautions, Gounder says she doesn't see another lockdown in our future. "That ship has sailed. Has sailed for years now," she said. 

"That ship" just sailed itself, huh? Another development with no cause and no active participant? Just up and sailed on its own, did it? And there's no one to sail it back? Man, that's crazy.

The Bezzle excerpt (Part III)

I'm on tour with my new novel The Bezzle! Catch me TOMORROW in SALT LAKE CITY (Feb 21, Weller Book Works) and then SAN DIEGO (Feb 22, Mysterious Galaxy). After that, it's LA, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix and more!

This week, I'm serializing part of chapter 14 from my new novel The Bezzle, which is out in stores TODAY (!!!):

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865878/thebezzle

The Bezzle is a Martin Hench novel, the followup to last year's Red Team Blues – though each book in the series is designed to be read in any order, and to stand alone (RTB just came out in paperback):

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865854/redteamblues

Hench is a two-fisted, high-tech forensic accountant whose career spans 40 years of busting high-tech scams, from the earliest days of the PC to the white-hot center of the cryptocurrency bubble. Each book revolves around a single, central scam (in The Bezzle, it's the unbelievably slimy prison-tech industry):

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/14/minnesota-nice/#shitty-technology-adoption-curve

But each book also features lots of subplots that unpick different kinds of fraud. In this serialized excerpt, we get to watch Marty unwind a music royalty theft scheme, the kind of thing that Rebecca Giblin and I pulled apart in our 2022 book, Chokepoint Capitalism (also now in paperback!):

https://chokepointcapitalism.com/

Today's installment gets into one of the major tactics of any semi-respectable scam – simply ignoring the victim in the hope that they'll get tired and go away. Any of us who've been ripped off by a big company can surely relate.

I'm leaving on my tour for this one tomorrow, starting with a gig in Salt Lake City at Weller Bookworks (Feb 21) at 630PM:

https://www.wellerbookworks.com/event/store-cory-doctorow-feb-21-630-pm

From there, it's on to LA (with Adam Conover), Seattle (with Neal Stephenson) and many, many more cities – maybe one near you!

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/16/narrative-capitalism/#bezzle-tour

Here's part one of the serial:

And part two:

And now, onto part three!

Stefon cooked Jamal another dinner and Jamal wrote another letter, this one more forceful, and addressed to Gounder by name. Two weeks later, Jamal wrote another letter without needing dinner because “that motherfucker went to Harvard fucking law”—­Jamal had looked him up in the ALA directory—­“and he knows you can’t make legal problems go away just by ignoring them. Time for that piece of shit to put on his big-­boy pants and be a goddamned lawyer.”

The one thing Jamal wouldn’t do was file a lawsuit. “You need a lawyer for that,” he said. “I mean, I can help you with the paperwork, but a paralegal can’t file the suit. And you shouldn’t file your own suit, either. Those guys’ll just hire some blow-dried asshole from a big law firm and they’ll crush you like a cockroach.”

“Well, shit,” Stefon said. But it all made sense. Anyone doing business with Chuy Flores would do business like Chuy Flores—­that is, crooked as hell.

“What you need is a contingency lawyer,” Jamal said. “Someone who’ll take the job for a piece of the action.” Which is how Stefon ended up being represented by Benny Caetani II, son of Benedetto Caetani, who graduated at the top of his Yale class, won a string of spectacular class-­action suits, then got disbarred after someone leaked calls where he admitted moving money from one client trust account into another to cover a shortfall. No one seriously thought that Benedetto was stealing anyone’s money—­he’d had receivables due within a week that let him make the trust account whole—­but he was also clearly guilty.

Equally, no one seriously believed that the high-­powered surveillance that led to Benedetto’s downfall was random. Benedetto had transferred more than a hundred million dollars from the balance sheets of America’s largest, dirtiest corporations—­ poison-­peddling pharma giants, toxic-­waste-­dumping chemical companies, a global chain of botox parlors with some very loose syringes indeed—­and they were gunning for him.

Officially, Benedetto was out of the lawyer game. Unofficially, he was the brains behind Benny, and the two of them ran a squeaky-­clean shop, making sure that everything that an actual lawyer had to do, Benny did—­while Benedetto did ­everything else. Father and son got along well and they were a hell of a team. When Benedetto called me in to audit Inglewood Jams’ books, I jumped at the opportunity. They were a delight to work for.

“They played tough,” Benedetto said, as his minions arranged the bankers’ boxes on the steel kitchen shelves he’d had installed on the long walls of the storefront he’d rented for me to work out of for the month. “At first. Told me they didn’t owe Stefon a dime, and that they’d rather bankrupt themselves in court than pay some broken-­down, washed-­up disco king anything. Told me his problem was with Chuy, not Inglewood Jams.”

“Well, to be fair, that Chuy guy sounds like a class-­A piece of shit.”

“A broke piece of shit. Guy’s got a million-­dollar nose and an empty bank account.”

“So you had to go after Inglewood Jams.”

Benedetto twirled around in his Aeron chair. He’d sent over a pair of them, asking if I needed more, because he had a storage locker full of them that he’d gotten as part of a settlement with a broke Santa Monica crowdsourcing company that stiffed its workers when it folded.

“I did. I went after them. That Gounder lawyer tried to bluff, then when that didn’t work, he tried to dodge service. Which was such a kindergarten move. Plus he was no good at it. Caught him outside the rub-­and-­tug parlor he went to every Friday after work. Handed him the papers. Wore a bodycam. Didn’t mention his wife. Didn’t have to.”

“You think he settled because he didn’t want his wife to find out he was getting hand jobs at a massage parlor?”

“No, he held out awhile after that. But I could see it preying on him, every time I was face-­to-­face with him. Eventually, he musta told his bosses that they were gonna lose, and so they offered a settlement. It was trash. I laughed in his face. He tossed out some better offers, but none of them even in the ballpark of what we would get in court. Finally, I told him to get serious or send his court suit out to the dry cleaner’s. That’s when he offered to make Stefon whole and pay me a little for my trouble on top of things.”

I suppressed a snort. I was sure that a little on top amounted to some real folding money.

“Even then he tried to pull a fast one, told me he’d calculate Stefon’s royalties and send a check the next week. I was like, ‘Hold up, there is no way you’re going to be able to make an honest accounting for Stefon’s royalties in a week. The dude’s samples are in hundreds of songs. The mere fact that you claimed that you could come up with a fair amount in a week tells me you were planning to pull a lowball number out of your ass and pass it off as the audited total, so tell you what, I’m gonna get the best forensic accountant in the state of California to come down here to LA and crawl all over your papers, and you are going to send him everything he needs to do it, or we’re going to court, motherfucker.”

“And he agreed?”

“Hell no. He refused. We went to a preliminary hearing. Judge turned out to be a classic soul fan. It didn’t go well for Gounder or Inglewood. The next day, he was back in my office, and now, well, here we are.”

ETA: Here's part four!

Archie sonic issue #2

And here we move on to the second in the #290 comic book series woof.

As I said in my previous post as much as I dilike the archie comics this isn't to to shit on the comics or those that like them. I'll be giving just as many positive thoughts as I do negative.

I'm just reading through them and just wanna share my thoughts on them.

Issue #2 was released in July 1993 And publication was september 1993.

Must of been wild back then to wait so long in between as if tbf we do that now still with idw but I remember a lot of my own comics I read growing up were weekly.

Anyway this is like one of the few pins I wish I could own but trying to explain the gag to people would be a lot of effort.

Sorry but Coconuts is like a really cute design I wish he was used more, I think he was in the tv series more?

This was a fucking mob hit.

Also hello you two bastards I know you fuckos.

This is so fucking stupid but "your non identical twin" made me laugh WAY harder than it should off.

These are funny acutally. Like I forget early sonic also had a cheeky attidude, I mean his british comic self would tell tails to fuck off or he'll shag his mam in greggs but you know.

WOW throw back to issue one /J

I don't really recall seeing much of scratch and gounder after this, they were more involved in the tv show I guess and just didn't really hit of with comic audience I guess? Which is a shame because they are kinda funny as bumbling idiot servants.

I wonder what Cubot and Orbot would of thought about them?

Kids who read the comic when it first came out are all like this now.

I would say I think this is when they tried to insert lore but I think this is the one about the two gag characters and not the uh racist stereotype tribal men story line.

Yep I believe they returned somewhere in the #90s issues? maybe I don't recall but I don't think they were like meant for anything other than to just make a fun story about the rings.

Oh god this made me cringe acutally that looks oddly painful

also omg better look at sonic's lil nub tail.

Awful scene that implies sonic's nose isn't the black ball on his snout

They had this odd habit at the end of some of the comics like a desperate plea not to cancel them, I think it's in the mecha sonic comic to very bizzare espically consiering some kids prolly did send letters in but were most likely ignored.

For years after I read this comic (my dad brought the collection when i was younger they are prolly worth some now lmfao if we had them) I believed this was how they made 'foil' covered things.

I remember doing it myself and being dissapointed my face just tore through it.

That sure is a title.

Need you guys to commit this image to memory for later.

This was a cute little thing of people guessing why tails had well two tails. I don't think they had a solid idea at this point? I don't remember the cartoons that well.

He's not naked he has shoes on.

The sonic vs mario haters is as old as time

My thoughts on this one was pretty good again, it's a cute series at the start and it introduced characters from the series like scratch and grounder.

I guess they wanted to introduce the characters that were going to be in the tv series because as I said some of these characters weren't really seen again in the comics, well not that often.

Which I don't blame them because I suppose keeping a lot of cast around takes away from the main villian himself and it's easier to concentrate on him.

It's a shame though because I have fond memories of vividly hating scratch and grounder but for a goofy kids cartoon they slotted in well.

I like eggmans use of skinny and square shaped idiot partners as his sidekicks. He seems to have a type for those being his personal servants, err, assistants.

my time lines could be funky on these because I'm not following along with the mini series of comics until later on.

But I like them.

We haven't reached ken penders era yet /J

@celinegounder It’s butwhatabout time! This kind of shit behavior from conspiracists - in which yesterday a surfing accident and a suicide were also blasted out to the world as “hurr durr died suddenly!!!” - is ok because in 2021 people said mean things about “unvaxxed people”.

[bellamyblake]

I gotta say, I really love seeing the way Bellamy is in the beginning of season 2 because the truth is that no, he’s NOT different. 

He had those same believes and understandsing before, the difference now is that he knows which lines he can’t uncross and what he can’t come back to. 

I like the parallels they make with F/inn the supposed peacemaker who called him everything under god’s green earth in season 1 but ended up shooting that grounder they questioned in the bunker without a blink while Bellamy argued that there’s a difference between being at WAR and an execution which is not something new, but rather something I believe he understood very well  in season 1 and especially following the events with Murphy which served as a great lesson for both Bellamy AND C’larke. 

Did he hate the grounders-yes but he did so because they killed about 20 or so more kids, some right before him and they were in active war. Many people argue that he hated the grounders from the start which is why he did what he did in s3 (we’ll get to that when we rewatch) but it’s not true.  

Anyway, my point stands that I believe he knew where he stood always-did he made mistakes, yes he did but he learned from them and you could definitely see it and he also held certain believes because he was trained as a guard and ultimately a soldier on the Ark and he understood those differences between right/wrong and tried to do his best (yes that counts for s3 too but again I’ll get there when I get there). 

Grounders seem to be there for certain characters to just fall in love with and try to make them out to be good when they attacked a 100 kids, killed 1/3 of them, then attacked them with the intention to destroy them completely because they were the ones who refused to make peace, not the 100. 

Either way, I love the comparisons here in the beginning of s2 and who Bellamy is. I know many of the OG blogs and some others said they didn’t like season 2 Bellamy because he suddenly became this good guy coming from a bad boy they all thirsted to in s1 (we all did, let’s face it) but I think people read the situations wrong-Bellamy was never some as*hole who just wanted to kill gounders because he liked it. 

He came to the ground with the agenda to protect his sister, then let all of those kids IN to the point he was willing to die to protect them, all of them and he saw the grounders as an enemy because that’s what they were but saying he turned good guy from bad boy is plain dumb and undermining Bellamy’s whole character because HE is not THAT stupid. 

He knows that difference from war and execution, something Finn doesn’t and he sees stuff way more clearly than his sister or even C’larke, let’s face it, ever did in the end of s1. C’larke was willing to set them off to sea when just letting them out in the open being exposed in enemy territory is plain suicide and got back to bite them. 

Bellamy didn’t want to stay back and fight because he wanted to kill grounders or get his fight or his war, he did it because it was the smart thing-fight for the land you’re already on, for the home you’ve already made and try to take a stand, rather than run.

But anyway, I’m just rambling.

A LIVELY CONVERSATION WITH SRI ANNAMALAI SWAMI IN 1989

Q : From where and how did you come here to Tiruvannamalai?

AS: My native place is Thodankurichi. I was serving water to thirsty people (it is a practice in Tamil Nadu to make temporary sheds on roadsides during summer and offer water or buttermilk to travelers).

A sadhu came to my place and gave me Sri Bhagavan’s photo and Upadesa Saram and on the same night I started towards Tiruvannamalai. It was a full moon day.

Q: So you came straight here.

AS: Yes, I came straight here.

Q: So after coming here you did not return to your place.

AS: I did not go anywhere else. Arriving in Tiruvannamalai, I had the Darshan of Sri Seshadri Swami and he blessed me heartily.

Q: Where did it happen?

AS: In a corner next to Twin-Pillayar temple there is a Mutt and there I had his Darshan.

Q: Where was Bhagavan when you came here?

As: In a thatched hut on his mother’s samadhi he was sitting on a pial. Gopal Rao was doing the construction work of a big hall then.

Q: It was being constructed then?

AS: Yes

Q: So you did not do masonry work immediately on your arrival.

AS: I did not know anything about masonry work then. My father knew it well. He knew sculpting, making temple tower, building home, painting, astrology. Like this he knew four or five skills.

Q: So seeing his work you have learnt something.

AS: No, I did not learn.

Q: When you came here did Bhagavan say anything to you?

AS: While coming to have Bhagavan’s darshan here during the journey itself I had a dream in which I saw Bhagavan coming from the hill and washing his feet in a corner. I sprinkled that water on my head and drank some of it. Immediately I fell down and Bhagavan poured some water from his kamandalam in my mouth. This was the dream.

Actually, when I met him first he came down from the Hills as I saw in my dream but he did not pour water in my mouth. Like that, I had the dream.

Q: You have mentioned to me many times that Bhagavan blessed you very much personally on several occasions. Please tell us about these. Like for example when you were working in the hot sun, things like that you have told me before.

AS: Bhagavan while beginning a work suddenly never said ‘this is the way you have to do it’. He would subtly hint at the work like ‘somebody is doing a work, go and see what he is doing.’ There was a worker of Ramaswami Pillai doing a work. I asked him what he was doing, he said he was constructing a wall. I returned, just gave him the answer for his question. Second time Bhagavan asked me to go to him and ask him the same question. I did as he instructed, the worker said,’ I had already told you that!’ and I returned with the same answer. For the third time Bhagavan asked me ‘See what he is doing!’. I was wondering why Bhagavan was doing like this. This time the worker was irritant asking ‘Are you mad or what!’ The fourth time Bhagavan said, ‘Somebody else might take care of my side and you please do that work.’ I was wondering Bhagavan could have told this to me initially itself.’ I realized Bhagavan is only hinting each work, I could not learn to read it.

He would say only quarter of a word or half as a matter of hint . He would say ‘This cowshed should go bigger’ but would also say ‘don’t tell I have told you like this.’

Because of such things there would be some difference of opinion between Chinnaswami and myself. Chinnaswami would say ‘ Build it small.’ Bhagavan would say ‘do it big!’

Like this Bhagavan would say to me ‘ This place will become big city. Even after constructing the cow shed here, we may have to extend it out side also with so many cows coming in’. All this in the beginning itself!

If I said all this to Chinnaswami he would say ‘go away, you fellow! We do not have money or resources for that.’

Coming to the storeroom matter, there was one Kalluppatti Gounder who gave money to build a cow shed but we constructed a store instead. On seeing it Gounder became angry and shouted, ‘Fool, idiot, I asked you to build cow shed , you built a store!’ but Chinnaswami bore these insults patiently.

Later he was happy when we completed the cow shed and huge Kangeyam cows arrived. He was very satisfied then.

On a mid-summer day Bhagavan asked me to draw a mountain at the entrance of the store room. I did not know how to do it. That time there was no greenery in the Ashram. I was thinking I came here for liberation but Bhagavan was torturing me like that. As I was thinking like that exactly at 1 O clock Bhagavan arrived and said, ‘Thinking that you would do what I say I asked you to do this but If it is difficult for you, you can give it up’.

That moment I got one resolve even if the body gets destroyed I should do what Bhagavan said.

I told Bhagavan, I would do any work, only my mind should not hanker after sense pleasures. Bhagavan nodded smilingly.

Q : Even after coming here to Palakottu) Bhagavan would come to meet you?

AS: He would come and meet me, he would also partake of the food cooked by me.

Q: Please tell us how did you come here

AS: Before completing the big dining hall and kitchen, however much hard I worked, Chinnaswami would behave harshly with me and torture me. I felt like crying. There was one Yogi Ramaiah who was with Bhagavan said, ‘

'Annamalai Swami has become very weak after working so hard. He needs to be relieved. Bhagavan said,’ Yes, we have to give him freedom.’

One day myself and Madhava Swami were bathing Bhagavan after applying oil on his legs. I stood close to the wall. Madhava Swami asked, ‘ Bhagavan , those who take ganja (intoxicating drug) how would they feel the Ananda?’

Immediately Bhagavan stood up rushing to me and embraced my shoulders with both his hands exclaiming ‘ Anandam, Anandam!’ and laughed heartily. I went into deep samadhi and lost all awareness of the room, Bhagavan and Madhava Swami for about 10 minutes, experiencing a deep peace within.

Afterwards, I went to Bhagavan who in the mean time was on the mountain and I said,

‘Bhagavan I would move to Palakottu’ – He was with Madhava Swami sitting on a rock. I said, ‘Bhagavan, I shall go to Palakottu.’ He replied,’ Very good, very good!’ This he said this 3 times.

After that incident, on the same day, I handed over the keys and went to Palakottu.
