Picture is from 2010 in Knoxville Tennesee. Can't find any other info on the girl:

Well, more accurately, mass murders with guns do. I'm not saying we ban guns. But let's not ignore half the issue. It's mental health and easy access to weapons of mass murder. Some gun control makes sense. Doing something about mental health makes sense.

But you'll never see a Republican vote for either. Government provided mental health programs? That's communism! They are fine to let both problems run rampant.

One of my favorite Onion headlines is: "Landlord forced to increase rent because they thought of a bigger number."

Went down the rabbit hole on this guy a bit. He went on to participate in the CyberNinjas audit of Arizona's ballots after the 2020 election. He claimed to have technology that could detect whether ballots had been folded in the mail, and claimed to detect bamboo in "fraudulent Chinese ballots".

He was such a kook, the other kooks rejected him.

Those were fun to peel. I remember spending alot of time at dinner while my parents droned on talking bullshit while I tried to unravel it in one long piece.

In a similar vein, Heinz once used a temporary domain for a promotion accessible by scanning a QR code on their bottles. The promotion ran its course, and they let the domain name expire.

Problem is these bottles were available on restaurant tables for much longer. Didn't take long before scanning the Heinz QR code at your table got you some pornography.

Come to Georgia. It's close. We're a swing state now. We could use your vote.

I went on one of those hollywood tour of homes 1.5 years ago. We pulled up to this same house and the tour guide says Justin Bieber had just moved out after renting it for a while for $200k a month. So now you know that.

Since it recently hit Netflix, I decided to see just how bad Madame Web really is.

45 second in, while showing the ever-present Marvel logo with the flipping comic book pages, I notice the sound effect is different. It vaguely sound like pages flipping, but it's definitely a toilet flushing.

Did they buy into the bad reviews and literally decide to say: "check out this turd of a movie" with the intro sound?

Filter to 1-star and note how many reviews are direct copies of each other - many referencing that the Obamas are executive producers.

This all revolves around conservatives focusing on ARR instead of RRR numbers on vaccine efficacy. Here's a description I found of the difference from another article:

Let’s say a study enrolled 20,000 patients into the control group and 20,000 in the vaccine group. In that study, 200 people in the control group got sick and 0 people in the vaccine group got sick. Even though the vaccine efficacy would be a whopping 100%, the ARR would show that vaccines reduce the absolute risk by just 1% (200/20,000= 1%). For the ARR to increase to 20% in our example study with a vaccine with 100% efficacy, 4,000 of the 20,000 people in the control group would have to get sick (4,000/20,000= 20%).
