Four Weddings And An ONT

Hello everybody! Welcome to Thursday night. We'll...what's that? Somebody added a community note to the ONT?

In my defense, it only happened once. Unfortunately, it was from the 2nd floor balcony.

Let Them Fight

Don’t save Democrats from their own campus disaster

The Democrats are already facing a critical election in which they must run a deeply unpopular dementia patient against a former president who maintains a strong base of support despite being hit with an endless barrage of fake criminal charges. The very last thing the left wanted was a civil war on college campuses that exposed the disastrous contradictions at the heart of its coalition.
The only thing that could possibly rescue the Democrats from this nightmare scenario would be footage of Republican governors sending in police to violently silence protesters. This would bail out the establishment and allow mainstream liberals to put the woke vanguard in its place while pointing at the GOP as the real enemy, a unifying symbol of authority to hate.
I know the gut instinct of the right is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but the GOP must sit on its hands and let this play out.

You can always count on the GOP to do the wrong thing. What say you? Leave them alone, or bust some heads.

Well, Well, What Have We Here?

How Ivermectin Trials Were Designed to Fail

Many people, including physicians, may not be aware that interventional studies, particularly RCTs, are prone to numerous biases, with selection bias being one of the most significant. Excluding potentially eligible individuals because of their anticipated group allocation can lead to selection bias. It’s common knowledge that early treatment of COVID-19 is crucial for effective results. The earlier the treatment starts, the more effective it is. These approved antivirals for COVID-19 are used shortly after COVID-19 infection and usually within a few days after symptom onset. For example, Paxlovid and molnupiravir registration trials treated patients within only five days of symptom onset. However, in the PRINCIPLE trial, ivermectin was used for patients within 14 days of symptom onset, while ACTIV-6 treated patients an average of six days after infection.

I'm not shocked. One treatment protocol was worth billions to drug companies, and the other worthless. Why would anyone be shocked?

I Thought There Were More Options For Entertainment In NYC

So, these notices started going up around NYC a few weeks ago:

Sure enough, on the 27th:

Not much to do for entertainment in NYC, I guess.

We Used To Be A Proper Country

Interesting thread. Click through, it's worth a look. I love art deco.

Backlash: Building

Middle schoolers who protested trans athlete’s participation are banned from future competitions

Five West Virginia middle schoolers who protested a transgender athlete’s participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future meets — prompting the state attorney general to ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in on transgender student-athlete bans for a second time.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the dissenting students’ behalf after they were blocked from upcoming meets following their protests at the April 18 shot put competition, West Virginia Watch reported.

Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn before refusing to throw in the event, which was won by Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old girl who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy.

While West Virginia law bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams, a recent federal appeals court ruled that the law couldn’t lawfully be applied to the eighth-grader.

So these girls refused to compete against the boy (And good for them, we need more of that), and now they've been banned from sports. There's a lot of resentment building out there, it's not going to be pretty when it breaks.

Kidding On The Square

Missionaries Travel From Africa To Bring The Gospel To United Methodist Church

Yes, it's the Bee. But these days, I'd say the UMC could use some people exposing them to the word of God.

Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by broccoli:

I took that picture Monday. I ate it for dinner tonight. First year in Texas that my broccoli hasn't bolted like crazy!
