Rose Tico, for those who do not know, is a character from Star Wars. More specifically, from the The Last Jedi. The character was written so that she was mostly unlikable, as her appearance was not so great, she was kinda bitchy and made stupid decisions.
From listening to this podcast, I maybe have gained some insight into what was going on. The following content describes the gist of the discussion.
We all know of woke Feminist bitches. Ones that people do not like personally. Hollywood has a higher percentage of these than most places. These Feminists are rather unhappy that people don’t like them so very much. Women, that are not woke Feminist bitches are much more liked, which does not go unnoticed. Apparently, according to one of the commentators, the typical Asian woman around Hollywood way has a much higher likelihood of not being a woke Feminist bitch. Note that Kathleen Kennedy, the head of LucasFilm is an example of you know what. The speculation is that the character Rey, who is the bestest ever, was a self-insert of Kathleen Kennedy. That is, the character is viewed to be a surrogate for the one who conceived of it, and they live vicariously through it. Well, seemingly there could not be any female competition in the film with respect to Rey, so Rose Tico was given unappealing qualities. One of the commentators suggested that she was deliberately given a potato sack to wear. Furthermore, the Rose Tico character is a dig at Asian women, for the reason mentioned above.
The above speculation does have the underhanded indirect women against women aspect that is such a red-pill staple. Kathleen Kennedy is 71 years old. One might think that she would be beyond such a thing. Though, if she is living vicariously through the youthful Rey, perhaps she isn’t.
Exit Question — With Kathleen Kennedy seemingly deliberately destroying the Star Wars franchise, is she concerned about her legacy?
“The speculation is that the character Rey, who is the bestest ever, was a self-insert of Kathleen Kennedy.”
In the sense that everything was just handed to her and she didn’t actually have to do anything to be acknowledged as “the special”?

so … our Texas gov has said that after 3-10 we don’t have to wear masks.
now … people are putting memes on fb saying they are going to continue wearing masks. the one that incenses me the most:
“As for me and my face, I will wear a mask.”
for the record, Ame has exercised extreme self-control and not commented on a single one of these idiotic posts.

in shocking news:
part of the structure of Oldest’s online classes is peer review. it seems that some prof’s are more involved in this than others. there have been a few times in her courses she’s protested the peer grade to her prof, and i think in all but one case she got the grade increased.
her prof this course …. this is the ‘social justice’ course (okay, that’s not the title, but it might as well be), in both of her papers she’s had peer graded so far, one of the peer graders marked her with a low grade simply b/c they did not like her opinion – and they even stated that they didn’t like her opinion so they lowered her grade. the first time she still had a high 80, so percentage wise it didn’t alter her grade much. she decided to let it ride to choose her battles. but a day later she got a notice that her prof had changed the grade. second week, same thing.
so, either this prof has noticed a history in this course of stupid students and has some kind of ethical standard that says papers should be graded on whether or not they meet the requirements of the paper … or the prof doesn’t agree with the idiots and is teaching the class for a paycheck. or whatever.
anyway … it’s shocking to me that there is a college prof out there that is actually not allowing peers to grade papers based on whether or not they agree with the opinion of the writer.

Guardian Promotes ‘Global Lockdown’ Every Two Years To Combat Climate Change

We don’t know why police officers let protestors in. They may have done so in defiance of orders. They may have been directed to. We’ve seen footage of the red-hatted protestor screaming at a group of riot-gear-clad officers to repel others forcing their way in: “This is the Capitol! Stop them!” They do nothing. Why? We don’t know that, either. Dozens of Capitol police are suspended and being investigated. Chief Steven Sund resigned almost immediately, but maintains his department “did not fail.”
We don’t know why the Capitol wasn’t better-defended. We know Sund begged House officials prior to January 6th for reinforcements, including National Guard. President Trump wanted to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops. All were turned down, reportedly because of “optics.” Additional law enforcement was deployed during BLM unrest last summer. We saw photos of them lining the Capitol steps, well-equipped. We’re told the disparity was motivated by racism. That claim is preposterous.
We don’t know how many agents provocateur were in the crowd. AP’s are sent by the opposition to encourage rash and illegal action during a “false flag” event. It’s a very old tactic, often employed effectively by Communists.
We do know at least three such agents were present. One, unidentified, wears a black helmet with a Trump sticker. In the video, he breaks a window with a staff. He’s wrestled down with shouts of “He’s Antifa!” Two others were John Sullivan, “Jayden X,” a left-wing activist who urged the crowd forward, exhorting them to “burn it down,” and Jade Sacker, accompanying Sullivan and filming. Both appeared on CNN under misleading premises. They were paid an extraordinary $35,000 for the film by two network news sites.
We’ve seen additional video from Sullivan’s phone. He congratulates Sacker: “We did it!” and “Is that the greatest film you’ve ever shot?” She’s concerned when she realizes their exchange is being recorded.
FBI Director Christopher Wray denies Antifa involvement. This comes as no surprise; Wray believes Antifa is only an “idea,” though Sullivan, an Antifa agent, is charged. Were there more such? We don’t know. The presence of agents provocateur doesn’t excuse criminal behavior. It does reveal there’s much more to know.
Perhaps most of all, I’d like to know why a police officer dealing with unrest could fire a fatal shot at an unarmed woman without consequence. I’d also like to know the officer’s identity. On any other occasion, we would. Police officers tell me that’s often done before they’ve finished the paperwork.

America has mostly avoided similar debacles because the Founding Fathers included an Elections Clause in the Constitution specifying that the rules for federal elections (president and Congress) “shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.” Unfortunately, that constitutional provision was trampled last year in many states. Time magazine recently revealed “the secret history of the 2020 election” – “a well-funded cabal of powerful people… working together behind the scenes to… change rules and laws” to “fortify” democracy. Democratic Party officials and election commission officials appointed by Democrats scorned state law to rewrite the rules for the 2020 election in several swing states.
A brief filed with the Supreme Court in December by the state of Texas noted, “Michigan’s Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated Michigan election statutes related to absentee ballot applications” by sending “unsolicited absentee-voter ballot applications by mail to all 7.7 million registered Michigan voters… without verifying voter signatures as required” by state law. The impact was compounded when Democratic officials in the state’s most populous county (including Detroit) “made the policy decision to ignore Michigan’s statutory signature verification requirements for absentee ballots.” Elsewhere, the Wisconsin Elections Commission approved setting up to 500 unmanned ballot drop boxes in major Democratic cities in violation of Wisconsin law.
Politically-appointed judges effectively overturned state law by mandating new election procedures in several states. In Pennsylvania, the state Supreme Court invoked a vaporous phrase in the state constitution – “Elections shall be free and equal” – to justify invalidating a state law that prohibited counting mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day; the judges even mandated including late ballots arriving with no postmark. A similar provision was struck down on January 27 by a Virginia circuit court overturning the Virginia Board of Elections’ decree permitting counting mail-in ballots that arrived three days after the election without a postmark.
Elsewhere in the report, SIGAR notes the difficulty of building a viable democracy when elected officials formally receive a license to steal. After noting the hefty bribes that politicians pay to election officials, SIGAR explains: “One reason candidates may be willing to pay such high prices for seats in parliament is to protect ill-gotten fortunes…. By becoming members of parliament, they can gain access to new sources of illicit revenue and immunity from prosecution.” That parliament is the last place on earth to seek a constituency for honest elections.

People who received too little of the Pfizer doses received their vaccines on Monday before 2 p.m. But at that point, the issue was identified and was stopped by that evening, according to the EMTs, who asked to remain anonymous in order to keep their jobs, and which was confirmed by state officials.

There was research done on the Oxford/Astra-Zenica vaxx where they gave a half dose then a full dose later. Early results suggested that the eventual coverage was higher than using two normal doses.
Instead they’ve gone for two full doses but with an extended gap between them so as to get more people jabbed once rather than some people jabbed twice.
Don’t know the reasoning for that but can allow that they’ve got more information than me. At least I hope so.

So she’s an icon for some but really (probably) just the head of the department that’s just doing its job with lots of countries that know that the EU is a bunch of cunts. And are just agreeing that the existing agreements can continue until better ones (for both sides) can be agreed.

In America, class warfare is often disguised as culture war, and culture war is often cloaked by talk of race. But underneath it all, the class warfare is still there. Whether accidentally or intentionally, America’s upper classes seem to wind up harming the working class and small businesses, always in the name of some high-minded cause.

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) is sending a message to QAnon and right-wing extremist threats by sitting on the Capitol steps on Thursday, the date authorities warned militia groups were potentially planning another breach of the building.
“I want to make a statement to let people know, those who would threaten those of us who cherish this freedom that we have here that we refuse to allow those threats to negate our freedom,” he told The Hill.

Re. FB’s link about the christian baker:
We need to return to teaching the basics in school about civics and the U.S.and State governments.
The First Amendment guarantees no one’s right to free speech. It DOES say that CONGRESS shall make no laws prohibiting … That leaves a wide range of entities the freedom to enact whatever laws they please regarding speech, and they do just that. Corporations, Homeowner Associations, churches, etc. all have restrictions on what folks can say as members of those groups. That is not unconstitutional.
The U.S. Constitution does not guarantee anyone the right to conduct business anywhere they please. Cities and municipalities have the freedom to restrict businesses as they please. Hence, the business license required by cities and municipalities. You may not open a business and run it any way you please. If the citiy or municipality is going to grant your request to run a business in their territory, they reserve the right to tell you how to run it. It has always been this way. It just is being made more obvious now because the the less than 5 percenters are forcing the issue by seeking out christian-owned busnesses and ignoring the secular-owned business right next door. Thus, this is really not a freedom of speech issue. It is a freedom from harrassment issue – which is a whole nother animal. It is way past time for folks to point this out and create state and city laws that guarantee freedom from harrassment, particularly freedom from harrassment by the less than 5 percenters.

Re. Every single bear we see is a he bear or a she.
If we should follow the science on Covid 19, we should probably also follow the science on bears. Intersex bears have been identified in the wild. In keeping with the definition of hermaphroditism, such intersex bears have the sex organs of both male and female bears. Since they do have both sets of sex organs, they would be neither he nor she – but s/he.

You would think so, but …
https://ij.org/frequently-asked-questions-about-ending-qualified-immunity/
“Qualified immunity” is a special protection for government workers that the Supreme Court created in 1982 as an act of judicial policymaking. The case, Harlow v. Fitzgerald, did not even involve police. It was brought by a whistleblower who wanted to sue Nixon White House aides for punishing him because he spoke out against a Pentagon weapons program. In Harlow, the Supreme Court made all government workers immune from constitutional liability by default.
Under qualified immunity, government workers can only be held accountable for violating someone’s rights if a court has previously ruled that it was “clearly established” those precise actions were unconstitutional. If no such decision exists—or it exists, but just in another jurisdiction—the official is immune, even if the official intentionally, maliciously, or unreasonably violated the law or Constitution.
A.K.A., “The beatings will continue until morale improves.”

Oops, left this off:
To show that a right is clearly established, a victim must identify an earlier decision by the Supreme Court or a federal appeals court in the same jurisdiction holding that precisely the same conduct under the same circumstances is illegal or unconstitutional. If no decision exists, qualified immunity protects the official by default. For example, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals recently held that a prison guard who pepper sprayed an inmate in his locked cell “for no reason” did not violate a clearly-established right because similar cited cases involved law enforcement officials who had hit and tased inmates for no reason, rather than pepper spraying them for no reason.

I suppose it wasn’t obvious, so thanks for the heads up. My point had to do specifically with how far the restrictions in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reach. That was the restriction in view in my comments. And, in that context, my comments are correct (it says only that Congress shall enact no laws …). There are other sources of restrictions on businesses and speech etc. in State and Local laws as well as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other legislation. Since I wasn’t discussing those, I didn’t think I needed to mention them. But obviously I did need to.

I came back to the radio a few minutes ago, different station, same point being hammered on. It must be a Republican talking point for the day or the week.
Some political person from Washington State was railing against the democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives who have been calling for the Amazons and Facebooks and Googles to delete things that are contrary to the message that the democrats are pushing. The political person was declaiming that this behavior by the democrats is unconstitutional because the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees our freedom of speech.
And thus, my point. No it does not guarantee our freedom of speech. It only says that Congress cannot write laws that would restrict it. If says nothing about whether Congressfolks can jawbone big business, maybe even threatening them, to bend them to their will. Passing legislation against free speech (which is what the First Amendment prohibits) and jawboning big business to get with the program and deplatform folks who say the wrong thing (which the First Amendment does not prohibit) are two different activities. One is prohibited by the First Amendment. The other is not. One would think that politicians would know their civics lessons. Either they really don’t. Or they do, but they are intentionally misleading the public for their own political purposes. Neither of those alternatives is attractive.
Couple this truth with what KH posted upthread about suing Federal employees. Add in the fact that the U.S. Supremes didn’t think it necessary to force the National Election to comply with U.S. Consitutional requirements, and Cill’s question looms large. It is the same question I posed several threads ago – the thing that has been bothering me since the election was allowed to stand: of what use is the Constitution, if even the Supremes are going to refuse to let it force our behavior to the standard that it sets?
