    No idea of methodology, etc. Just citing what @jolly posted. https://assets.morningconsult.com/wp-uploads/2020/06/01181629/2005131_crosstabs_POLICE_RVs_FINAL_LM-1.pdf

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Six Down: Yeah, this is really bad. We need people to calm TF down. Explains the uptick in random acts of violence. Everyone's losing patience. Five protesters are dead, many more in hospital. And then there's George Floyd.

    And it won't stop until either A) the rioters get bored, or B) the cops are augmented by the National Guard and turned loose.

    Agitate the kids from the ghetto and point them the right way, all the time cheering them on from the rear. Waaay back in the rear. Then rub hands in glee as the MSM shows black bodies lying in pools of blood, on the streets of a suburban neighborhood. Antifa wants to tear the country apart. To make an omelet ya gotta break a few eggs...

    Joe doesn't look too healthy in that photo. Of course, Hillary was about to succumb to Parkinson's Disease four years ago, so who knows, he might outlive us all.

    Well, now they can coax the Chinese out of some money.

    Hello @fionaart , welcome to TNCR ("The New Coffee Room"). I think I'm the first to mention (link to) your YouTube video here, which may have driven some traffic your way, and may be that's what prompted you to look us up and found us here. TNCR is a general chatroom, we talk about anything and everything. We have members with diverse interests (yes, visual arts included; e.g., there's @jodi who is into painting). So ... aside from the first post promoting your art and YouTube channel, I hope you will stick around and chat with us about, well, just about anything and everything.

    Face mask use could result in a large reduction in risk of infection (n=2647; aOR 0·15, 95% CI 0·07 to 0·34, RD −14·3%, −15·9 to −10·7; low certainty), with stronger associations with N95 or similar respirators compared with disposable surgical masks or similar (eg, reusable 12–16-layer cotton masks; pinteraction=0·090; posterior probability >95%, low certainty).

    @George-K said in 8 ¾ minutes of silence: To be clear. If Spotify, or any other service, wants to pay tribute to Floyd, that's entirely within their right to do. Good for them. Take it out of your profits. But when your decision on whom to honor and whom to not honor affect what I paid for, that's different. I don't necessarily disagree with their decision to pay tribute, but don't make me partake in that decision. I agree with George K. If they were truly concerned about this, they can take the amount of money they earn in 8.5 minutes and donate to a cause they believe in. That would have a much larger impact than shutting down for a few minutes.

    Reminds me of the old joke, "what did the 2020 Greg Floyd rioter say to the rabid wolf foaming at the mouth?" "Hold my beer". Lol!!

    Had a man call me yesterday and ask did I need any beef. He's killing one today and will be processing Monday. I don't need any, but I did give him a bushel of snap beans.
