Enjoyed Mccaskill calling Lindsey Graham a POS after his comments re: the Roger Stone commutation. https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/1281963359190028288?s=19

I, for one, am pulling for the Lincoln Project. They seem to be the only conservatives left that are moral and true to a conservative philosophy. When covid is over, we’ll be left with a deficit that will take a century of sacrifice to recover. In other words, it will probably not happen without a revolution. The Jenga tower is being set up right before our very eyes… and the ‘leaders’ of this country have been taking out the blocks over the years, but this administration seems to be accelerating the block removal while making the top of the tower taller, heavier and blowing on it.

@kjayhawks said in Mahomes' massive contract.: If he can stay healthy his net worth could mirror MJs. Once this contract is started, I read he will make over $10 a minute during it. With his adidas contract, his commercials for State Farm, Amazon, Head & Shoulders and Hunts that aren’t included in that contract it will be an insane amount of money he piles up. Honestly it makes me not want to watch, I don’t think people should make that kind of money lol. Just think how much money the people paying that contract must be making in order to offer such a deal.

@nuleafjhawk thanks man! You all have really helped me maintain a personal sense of community through all this. Thank you.

Keegan created an extremely toxic atmosphere around the coverage of Kansas Athletics and was a mediocre writer at best. The personal attacks on Beaty should’ve gotten him fired.

@nuleafjhawk You must have been misquoted…

@nwhawkfan said in Ok State tourney ban: I’m not too optimistic. As the co-hosts pointed out on ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption today, OSU got a heavy penalty for only one Level 1 violation, while KU has to answer to five of them. The interesting thing is that the hosts sharply disagreed on how bad the NCAA comes down on us. Kornheiser thought they’ll throw the book at KU, while Wilbon thinks we’ll get away with a relative slap on the wrist. After seeing what OSU got, I’m afraid it’s going to be more like the former. toss in lack of institutional control on top of those 5 level 1’s The hosts of our local sports said if KU had decided to fight and go through with the NCAA - -they would of for sure destroyed us compared to Okla St. Another thing is and there are some - -even here that seem to think that since we went this alternative route that we gonna get off better - -thing is there is NO APPEAL. With then ALL BETS are off whatever they hand down - - -END OF STORY there is no appeal, so we bettern make sire were dam well ready with our defense.

@HighEliteMajor said in Do We Need N95 Masks For Everyone?: The experts have made major errors and miscalculations. Nonexperts have made more. The biggest difference is that (most) scientists provide the information on which they base their recommendations and conclusions. Nonexperts have nothing but wishful thinking on this topic.

@approxinfinity Season 4 was awesome, maybe the best of the entire series. We are at the end of S5 but we have slowed down since we started watching The Last Kingdom on Netlfix (which I recommend). Season 5 has been very good as well.

heh… yes.

@Woodrow Which if he can get a good 2nd round deal it makes going worth it.

Watched first 2 episodes of Mindhunter today on Netflix. Very impressed. Dialog was outstanding.

@FarmerJayhawk Yeah, the results of a study are only as good as the method my memory of instrumental variable approach is fuzzy, so please share thoughts if you see something questionable… I’m assuming they implemented it properly… but not sure if there are concerns with the employment of that method (and if there was a better alternative.)

@justanotherfan if I could like that post 50 times I would.

@mayjay lolol

@Crimsonorblue22 love it

A friend of mine is in charge of the infectious disease center for a county close to here. They have part of the small hospital, but it has its own ventilation system. Wonder how much of a problem that is? She retired from being in charge of the nurses at a clinic to this job. Never imagined.

On January 29th, China had reported 7700 global cases of COVID-19. That’s a hell of a lot of masks being worn for 7700 total cases. Oh, to be young and have access to N95 masks via unbroken supply chains and undepleted caches… To have the luxury of covering up an epidemic that isn’t even a pandemic yet…

This Google data is depressing. March 29th we were only at +12% time at home.
