Herd Immunity Day
August 21. Back another six days. It's the herd of impotents and defectives in the Grand Old Plague. Let's see how that compares with SFCD. At 9:10 p.m. April 23, per the Johnnies 571,111 Americans have been killed by COVID. Subtract that from the number of Spanish Flu dead 103 years ago, 103,889. Divide that by the standard 900 Deaths/day we have used (for convenience and consistency only) equals 115.4 days. Therefore on the assumption stated we will exceed Spanish Flu Deaths on August 17, two days later than on BIDEN+93.

“Culture”
Heard much of that word coming from 601 Biscayne this season? Do you know what the cash value of Miami “Heat” Culture has been in the six complete and one nearly complete seasons since LBJ left? .524.
There's no D in Atlanta and none is being played tonight in Atlanta between the "Hawks" and "Quit." Defense should always be a constant with Miami. It’s who they are. MIA is shooting 54.7% and 40.6%. How can they be losing when they should like that? When ATL shoots 56.7% and 54.2%! And losing they are, 98-89, 10:22 left to play. More infuriating, this is a big game for both teams. ATL is fifth in the East, MIA seventh and only one game separates them. This 2020/21 Miami team doesn't know who they are and I cannot fathom how that came about. Tonight they were quitters.

The have all the metrics (or the link to Vax) on one page now and present the 14-day changes in the logical, C-H-D, order, rather than the irrational C-D-H. They still lag in H's but all of the other stats are presented the day of. They've really improved.

President Biden Grade C.
(August 17 Spanish Flu Conquest Day. Same as on BIDEN+91. SFCD and HID are converging. They're almost identical. That makes sense given OathEaters resistance. HID and SFCD are two very similar ways of measuring the same thing.)
Ripple No Wave
No data is available for BIDEN+94 so let’s give thanks for ripples:
Looks like Trump’s limpy dick.
That’s an okay boner.

But it dies out quickly.
On the other hand, God will have to ask us for forgiveness for Trump, who, by a rough, widely-used metric, erased the advances made in medicine and science of the last 100 years.
Navalny Lives
Alexei had been taken to hospital and given vitamins. He now says he will end his hunger strike which almost cost him his life. I didn’t understand the hunger strike. Putin has tried to kill him. So now Alexei is going to do him a favor? He is infinitely more of a pain in the ass to Putin alive than dead.
Thursday, April 22, 2021
All believers in Democracy in America want the lines drawn with crystal clarity in 2022 and 2024. We want the faces of the Grand Old Plague'rs to be Matt Gaetz (rhymes with rapes), Eric Greitens (rhymes with frightens), Exciting Mo Brooks, and of course Old, Impotent, and Embarrassed...
You know. I don’t get my bros at LP’s new ad, "Truthless" (“Old, Impotent, an Embarrassment”). I don’t get why it’s called "Truthless." I don’t get why it’s directly targeting Trump wasting away in Mar-a-Lagoville. It is a psyop, I get that; I don’t get what moneyshot reaction they’re looking to get out of Trump. I get that LP is trying to keep the pot of animosity boiling between Trump and McConnell (Or is it between Trump and McConnell's top aide? (top aide??)).I don’t get to what end.
"Now everyone's saying you're old, impotent, an embarrassment"
Did I not tell you? Don’t you think women “know” things about other women by “sense”? I KNOW Trump is impotent, and Republicans generally are impotent, just on a guy’s sense.
Aimed at Audience-1, airing today in Mar-a-Lago. Nobody does psyops better than LP.

Jesus Christ, I didn't think the "Heat" game started till 10:00. It's over! The "Heat" went to San Antone tonight and walloped the "Spurs" 107-87. Spo went with a lineup of K-Nunn, D-Rob, T-Ariz, J-Buts, and B-Ab. K-Nunn shone nunn too bright, 9, 5, 3, 1, -1 in 34' on 4/10 (1/5). Although they play nominally different positions T-Herr usually starts or plays in place of K-Nunn. Tyler was last off the bench agayne and lit it up, 22 on 8/13 (5/6), 6 and 4 with 0 TO's in 25'. Duncan was also quiet tonight with 10 points in 28'. Obviously, Tyler was Duncan's replacement tonight. Trevor was exceedingly quiet as the box score speaks with only 3 in 30'. Bam was game-high with 23, 8, 5, 3, 1 -1 in 31' and Jimbo had 18, 7, 11, 1, 0, -3 in 34'. The fans' latest savior Dewayne Dedmon had a quiet 15'. The "Heat" shot 47.0% (41.9%); San Antone, 28-28 coming in, went for 40.3% and a pathetic 28.6% from range. Think we know where this one was decided. Third W in a row for Miamuh who are now 31-28 and stuck on seventh in the East. GO HEAT!
Never Going to be Done With This Thing
An unvaccinated health care worker set off a Covid-19 outbreak at a nursing home in Kentucky where the vast majority of residents had been vaccinated, leading to dozens of infections, including 22 cases among residents and employees who were already fully vaccinated, a new study reported Wednesday.
Most of those who were infected with the coronavirus despite being vaccinated did not develop symptoms or require hospitalization, but one vaccinated individual, who was a resident of the nursing home, died, according to the study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Altogether, 26 facility residents were infected, including 18 who had been vaccinated, and 20 health care personnel were infected, including four who had been vaccinated. Two unvaccinated residents also died.
...The outbreak involved a variant of the virus...that make the vaccines less effective...In the Kentucky outbreak, the virus variant is not on the C.D.C.’s list of those considered variants of concern or interest.
The organizers of a European
soccer league didn’t believe
in their idea enough to defend it.
That is exactly right.
...Monday, less than a day into their brave new world, they had lost the governments, and they had lost the European Union. Not long after, they lost the television networks that, ultimately, would have had to pay for the whole thing.
Then they lost the players and the managers, the stars of the show they were hoping to sell around the globe so that they might grow fatter still on the profits: first Ander Herrera and James Milner and Pep Guardiola and Luke Shaw and then, in a matter of hours, dozens more, whole squads of players, breaking cover and coming out in opposition to the plan.
By Tuesday, there was scarcely anyone they had not lost. They had lost Eric Cantona. They had lost the royal family. They had lost national treasures. They had even lost the luxury watchmakers, and without the luxury watchmakers, there was nothing left to lose but themselves. [And that tickled me so that I broke into a 360 degree smile.]
...
...how easily those who had designed it and signed on to it seemed to capitulate. It is not just that they lost the fans, the leagues, the broadcasters and the sponsors. It is that at no point did they seem interested in even trying to win them over.
[Exactly right, again. They didn't try to sell it--it was eminently salable--hell, they didn't even try to explain it. It was a tournament, okay? A counter to the Champions League. It was never a round-robin thirty-eight game league that would threaten, much less replace, the national leagues. Instead of Barca and Madrid playing El Clásico dos in La Liga they would, perhaps, more than likely, have played a third or fourth time in the Super League! The Gang of Twelve did not even make that critical, absolutely game, set, match, critical distinction clear in explanation. They didn't do any explaining! They issued a fucking press release at 11 p.m. Sunday. Pathetic.]
...
And yet, in the Super League’s 48 hours of existence, only one of its architects spoke publicly: [Real Madrid president Florentino] Pérez, giving an interview to “El Chiringuito,” a gaudy, late-night Spanish sports talk show, the equivalent of announcing the onset of war on the shopping channel. In a way, he deserves a little credit for that, for the willingness to own his decision. [Oh my God, lol.]
By contrast, none of his colleagues and co-conspirators uttered a word: not to the news media, not to the fans...
There was no attempt to sell the idea, no attempt to outline the benefits, as they saw them. A high-profile public relations firm in London had been hired to handle the launch, and yet as the criticism grew more voluble and more shrill and more ferocious, there was no response whatsoever, no attempt to shape a more favorable narrative.
...nothing about this project seemed complete....It was all, in some way, unserious: [I was going to take exception to "unserious" but on reflection it was announced by press release Sunday night at 11 o'clock in obvious attempt to upstage UEFA's announcement of Champs League expansion Monday.]
There was a cobbled-together website, an uninspiring logo... [What didn't you like about the custom car paint accents and the George Jetsen Saturn graphic?]
...and an American banker, but no broadcaster, no suite of sponsors and, in the end, no commitment to see any of it through.

Chauvin Verdicts
April 20, 2021, 5:50 p.m. ET20 minutes ago
20 minutes ago
Emily BazelonReporting on legal issues
The jury could have convicted Chauvin or any combination of manslaughter, third-degree murder or second-degree murder, but chose "all of the above." When that happens, it raises questions about whether the theory of the conviction is internally coherent. In this case, could Chauvin be guilty of 1) causing the death of a human being, without intent, while committing an assault (second-degree murder) AND 2) unintentionally causing a death by committing an act that is eminently dangerous to other persons while exhibiting a depraved mind, with reckless disregard for human life (third-degree murder) AND 3) creating an unreasonable risk, by consciously taking the chance of causing death or great bodily harm to someone else (manslaughter)? I’d say the answer is probably yes, but I confess I’m still absorbing all the legal jargon.
###
At least in my jurisdiction a defendant can be convicted of duplicative crimes if each represents a different "theory" of prosecution and there is one different required "element" of proof. A defendant can only be sentenced on one, i.e. he cannot be sentenced as if he killed three separate people.
HOWEVER, when, as here, the charges are for different statutorily defined degrees of the same crime, a defendant cannot be convicted of three different degrees of the same general law against unlawful homicide. for one act. For example, you cannot be convicted of grand theft and petit theft for stealing the same one thing. I think, I am not 100% sure of this, that where I practice when there are "inconsistent" verdicts the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant and he is "adjudicated" guilty by the court on the least serious charge the jury found him guilty of.
CHAUVIN GUILTY OF MURDERING GEORGE FLOYD
April 20, 2021, 5:26 p.m. ET38 minutes ago
38 minutes ago
Emily Bazelon [nyt] Reporting on legal issues
I’m not surprised that the jury worked quickly. The video of George Floyd’s killing said so much. The police testimony made it clear that Chauvin’s actions were not those of a “reasonable officer,” the legal standard that lets many cops off the hook for use of force. Once the prosecution made a strong showing on the cause of death, based on the medical evidence, I’m not sure what hope the defense really had.
*Ouch*
Finland Happy
For the fourth year in a row Finland is the happiest nation on earth.
“Four times in a row is too much,” said Jukka Lindstrom, a writer and standup comedian.
The report this year received little attention in the Finnish news media. “Finland is still the happiest country in the world,” began a short article that ran on Page 19 in Ilta-Sanomat, a daily newspaper.
[literally laughed out loud when read that.]
"Really?, other Finn's reaction.
When governments around the world introduced coronavirus restrictions requiring people to stand two meters apart, jokes in Finland started circulating: “Why can’t we stick to the usual four meters?”
Finns embrace depictions of themselves as melancholic and reserved — a people who mastered social distancing long before the pandemic.
David Pfister, an architect from Austria who lives in Oulunkyla, a suburb of Helsinki, said that he would describe Finns as content, but that it was hard to say if they were happy.
People in Finland also tend to have realistic expectations for their lives. But when something in life does exceed expectations, people will often act with humility, preferring a self-deprecating joke over bragging, said Sari Poyhonen, a linguistics professor at the University of Jyvaskyla. Finns, she said, are pros at keeping their happiness a secret.
...people trust each other, he said. Each morning, it is common in Helsinki to see children as young as 7 walking by themselves with their backpacks to school, feeling completely secure.
“That epitomizes the Finnish happiness,” Mr. Aittokoski said. “There’s something we’ve done right.”
Peace is that state in which fear of any kind is unknown. But Joy is a positive thing; in Joy one does not only feel secure but something goes out from oneself to the universe, a warm, possessive effluence of love. There may be Peace without Joy, and Joy without Peace, but the two combined make Happiness. Pilgrim's Way, John Buchan (117)
The human species at its best and most distinctive plays, jokes, is happy.

Oh my goodness:
The Miami Heat organization will forever regret night [sic, "not"] sending a package of players that included Tyler Herro to the Houston Rockets to obtain James Harden. [That's also sic, I don't believe it. They balked at sending him to Toronto for Kyle Lowry. They might regret that. That statement is based however on the following comments by Ira Winderman, the dean of "Heat" beat writers, and Ethan Skolnick, who was the best basketball writer the Miami Herald ever had.]
The team is paying for it badly as Tyler Herro has badly regressed with his play on the court. Herro became a viral sensation with his play on the last year in the NBA Bubble, and with him dating a popular Instagram model in Katya Elise Henry, he has found some serious fame off the court.
That is a problem.
Miami Heat beat writers Ethan Skolnick and Ira Winderman recently spoke on their “Inside the Paint” podcast, and stated how the Heat organization is greatly concerned about Herro and his poor play.
Ira Winderman: Tyler Herro chose to become a celebrity,” “He chose to become something outside the game, as is his right. With his breakfast cereal, and his Tyler Tuesdays, and his Chipotle Bowl and that’s all well and good. But you know what? Other players when they see a player doing that before they’ve truly reached it. I don’t know if I want to say there’s a jealousy. … They sort of take a scant view of the guy and say, ‘Wait a minute buddy. You haven’t done anything yet
Ethan Skolnick: “Ultimately, the team starts to get a certain level of concern,” “In this particular case, the team has been concerned now for months.”
[Holy cow, I didn't know any of that. I will tell you I have never read Ira Winderman talk like that about a "Heat" player or member of the organization. Ira clearly pulls his punches in his Sun-Sentinel column. Not here. I have listened to more of that broadcast now. Ethan came across as annoyingly coy in this podcast: there were problems in the "Heat" locker room even during the Big Three; the greatest "Heat" player ever, you know who I mean. Yeah, we do, but so enlighten us, Ethan, what were the issues? Don't titillate us with a skirt lift. Ethan seemed also to be not as knowledgeable as Ira, would say things, Ira would say something different and Ethan, "Yeah." He seemed to be reaching for intel that Ira didn't have; that's how "the team has been been concerned now for months" about Tyler Herro's social activities came across to me. Ira lit into Tyler good and Ethan seemed to be trying to one-up Ira with that comment. I believe it's true that the "Heat" has been concerned about Tyler, I'm just sure I trust that Ethan has had that intel for months.]
"Heat" Milk "Cows," 113-91
"Cows" second-worst team in Association. Look at the starting lineup Spo went with tonight:
-Precious
-Iguodala
-Ariza
-Nunn
-Robinson
Lol. In April 2019 if you had presented me with that lineup and asked me which team? I would have had no fucking idea. I hadn't even heard of any of them against Iggy. Very strange: DNPCD were Jimmy, Bam, Belli, Tyler, and UD. I don't believe Spo just decided not to play those first four.
