Remember Moby? Bald, got famous selling all his songs to car commercials, got more famous for claiming he dated Natalie Portman when, according to Portman, “my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school”? Yeah, Moby! Well did you know that he’s also a vegan? If you didn’t know that I assume it’s because you forced him out of your memory, possibly with the help of drugs or alcohol, because he’s definitely one of those vegans. Like, he’s the vegan from the joke about vegans. You know the one.
And recently Moby, in all his brilliance, took a break from making up relationships with actors 15 years his junior to gift us with this completely inane thought: “A reminder: in a vegan world there would be no pandemics. 100% of pandemics are zoonotic in origin. #veganforlife”
I see a lot of wrong things in a day -- it’s my job, I seek out wrong things and then I correct them. Or mock them. But this takes the wrong cake. This is the wrongest thing I’ve seen in DAYS.
And it’s not just Moby who thinks this! This Prince Valiant looking mother fucker with half a million followers on Instagram has been saying the same thing and getting way too little pushback.
Before we dig in, let me declare my conflicts of interest: first of all, I did buy “Play” when it came out. I was young and foolish. I apologize. Also, I am not vegan, but I don’t eat most animals. I only eat things that I have, in the past, personally murdered. Vegetables? Check. Fruits? Check. Insects? Absolutely. Crabs? Yes, they are the insects of the sea. Pigs? No way. Too smart and cute, I couldn’t do it. Cephalopods? Ditto. Please note that this does NOT include a “me or them” situation. Like if a squid was coming at me with a knife then I would have no moral qualms killing it. Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy, if a cow ever got the chance he’d eat you and everyone you care about.
Anyway so I’m not vegan but I am pescetarian, or flexatarian, or whatever you want to call someone who doesn’t eat the things most Americans tend to eat. And as I’ve discussed in the past on this very channel, I do think the data shows us that if more people reduced the amount of meat they ate, the world would be better off in terms of global warming. I think the science on health benefits to vegetarian and veganism is less conclusive but mostly because humanity has used our legendary brains to invent ways to be extremely unhealthy on vegan and vegetarian diets. Thanks, double stuffed oreos and beer.
While I think there’s a pretty clear scientific consensus that reducing meat consumption will benefit the environment, let’s talk about whether or not everyone going vegan would mean no more pandemics.
For this thought experiment, we will have to assume the world is very different to what it is, because the fact of the matter is that every human on earth can NOT go vegan. I mean, without starving to death. There are entire cultures that subsist on meat by necessity -- it’s kind of tough to grow tofu in the Arctic circle, for instance. Being a vegan is a massive privilege, as it requires having ample access to products made without animals. I could easily go vegan if I wanted to -- well, not “easily” due to my crippling addiction to cheese, but I have the resources to do it -- but most humans do not.
But let’s set that aside. If we could snap our fingers and make the entire world wake up vegan, would we no longer experience pandemics? No. Sorry.
Let’s start with COVID-19. Scientists still aren’t entirely sure about the exact origin of this pandemic, but the evidence is currently leaning heavily toward blaming markets in China that sold both living and dead wild animals. The leaders of the “Intellectual Dark Web” still think COVID-19 escaped from a lab, but the Intellectual Dark Web is a bunch of morons, which you know because they believe stupid conspiracy theories and call themselves the Intellectual Dark Web.
But real scientists suspect that it started in bats -- bats are very good at carrying diseases because they have completely bonkers immune systems that allow them to catch viruses that end up not really bothering them that much, so they can still go about their flappy, bitey business. To use another Simpsons reference, they have Three Stooges Syndrome like Mr. Burns. But for real, if you wanna know more about the incredibly bat immune system, read that Washington Post article because it is fascinating. Like, the way their immune system controls diseases without completely ridding their bodies of them might even be connected to the reason they can fly. Weird!
So after carefully examining SARS-CoV-2 genomes, scientists think that it was hanging out in bats, and that bats then passed it on to some as-yet unknown intermediary species, which may have been sold at that animal market in Wuhan (or possibly at a farm that supplied animals to the market), where it made one more leap into humans. I nearly said “final leap” but that wouldn’t be necessarily true since it probably also jumped from humans to cats and dogs after that.
One note about that unknown intermediary species: despite a lot of racist “jokes” about how this happened because Chinese people eat weird shit, Nature reports that “Chinese researchers collected nearly 1,000 samples from the Huanan market in early 2020, swabbing doors, rubbish bins, toilets, stalls that sold vegetables and animals, stray cats and mice. The majority that tested positive were from stalls that sold seafood, livestock and poultry.” You know, the things that Americans tend to eat. Just saying.
So in this specific case, this pandemic absolutely would not have happened in a vegan world. At least, not exactly like this. The farms, the markets, the humans buying meat, all of that happened because humans eat meat.
But when vegans claim that NO pandemics would happen in a vegan world, they are quite obviously wrong. While it is true that most viruses that are a danger to humans have their origin in other animals, we don’t just get those viruses from eating animals, or from farming animals for food. One very obvious example is the black plague, which was most likely spread by fleas living on rats and/or humans. Fleas, rats, and humans share space not because of what humans eat or what animals humans exploit but because we all have similar goals, that is to be warm and well-fed and fruitful.
As much as many animals would probably appreciate it if humans were able to completely disinvest from their lives forever, unfortunately for them we cannot. While we can reduce our meddling in the lives of other species, we cannot just check out of the ecosystem. We are a part of the ecosystem and always will be, unless and until we all fuck off to Mars, at which point we will be a part of THAT ecosystem.
The problem here is one of balance. Getting everyone to go vegan tomorrow isn’t possible and even if it was it isn’t going to solve all our problems. What would help begin to solve our problems? If everyone who CAN eat less meat does eat less meat. If we enact regulations that fix farm conditions. If we limit the use of antibiotics in farming. And if we deplatform vegans like Moby who spread misinformation that gets in the way of people taking the problem seriously and making positive change.

CNN's Anderson Cooper speaks with Amanda Gorman, the nation's first-ever youth poet laureate, after she delivered a poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden
ABC News and the Washington Post surveyed Americans on President Joe Biden's job performance as he closes in on his first 100 days, an arbitrary number we've been convinced carries some weight. Biden enjoys he approval of 52 percent of adults, compared with 42 percent of adults who don't care for the job he's doing. According to the Post and this ABC News tweet, these are objectively the worst numbers for a sitting president after 100 days in office since World War II.
Twitter
Now, you might ask yourself, “Wait, wasn't Donald Trump president?" It's pleasant to pretend that never happened, but, sorry, it did. The former White House squatter never at any point in his ragamuffin presidency broke 50 percent approval in Gallup polling. The Post concedes that Biden's "approval rating is lower than any recent past presidents except Donald Trump," who had 42 percent approval after his first 100 days. That's quite the asterisk. It's like saying someone is the worst babysitter ever, except for the lady who tried to eat Hansel and Gretel.
President Lost Cause also left office (kicking and screaming) with a 29 percent approval rating.
There's another asterisk here: President Gerald Ford scored 48 percent approval in 1974 after pardoning disgraced former President Richard Nixon. I was born in 1974, so my vanity demands Ford be included in the list of “recent past presidents." ABC News's original tweet from Saturday was flat-out wrong, but it was replaced Sunday with more accurate Debbie Downer content: "52 percent of Americans approve of Pres. Joe Biden's first 100 days in office — the third-lowest of any president at that milestone since Harry Truman, per a new @ABCNews/WaPo poll."
This obsession with a president's first 100 days is a throwback to the concept of a presidential “honeymoon period," during which Americans, regardless of party, mostly rally around a new leader. Despite a contentious 2000 election, Democrats gave George W. Bush a break. His approval was 53.9 percent. That's statistically not much greater than Biden's but a significant improvement upon Bush's 47.9 percent popular vote performance months earlier. Biden, however, is holding his numbers from the 2020 election.
Fox News, which launched in 1996, ruined the honeymoon period. Comparing Biden's numbers at this point to past presidents without mentioning the right wing's perpetual outrage machine is journalistic malpractice. Republicans in 2009 made obstructing Obama their primary objective. For most of 2010, Obama rarely reached 50 percent approval. Biden was present for this crap, and he realizes that keeping the people who supported him happy is more important than trying to make deals with bad-faith Republicans.
Average approval ratings over the course of a presidency are arguably a fairer standard for comparison these days. Bill Clinton's approval rating was 53 percent after 100 days but the average over six months was 50.5 percent. There's a good chance Biden's six month average will remain steady and thus exceed Clinton's. Looking beyond the numbers, Clinton was anecdotally showing signs of weakness among his own voters:
"I had some high hopes," said Linda Brantley, a Milwaukee postal service investigator and Clinton voter, "but they were shot down kind of quickly. His first 100 days, I'd have to give him an F. He's trying to please too many people all at the same time, without really looking at the heart of the issues."
Biden has 90 percent support from Democrats, 47 percent support from independents, and 13 percent support from Republicans, most of whom don't even think he's president. He has high marks on the economy and COVID-19, and is only underwater regarding the imaginary border “crisis." These are good numbers! But the Post claims there are still "potential warning signs ahead about his governing strategy." Biden doesn't even get credit for having a governing strategy, unlike his predecessor who just flung racist feces on the wall to see what stuck. But the media always graded President Klan Robe on a curve.
For example:
NBC News
NBC News reported in 2017:
President Donald Trump's approval rating is the lowest of any president ever polled at this early point in his term.
But while no president has ever been this unpopular this soon, his abysmal rating may not preclude him for a successful presidency just yet.
No, the former guy's abysmal approval rating remained abysmal and precluded the fuck out of his having a successful presidency. Nonetheless, the New York Times relentlessly interviewed white working class voters who stood by their very racist idiot man.
Uncle Joe is doing fine, no asterisk needed. Maybe we'll start hearing from the Biden voters who are happy they received stimulus checks and a COVID-19 vaccine.
BAD AND FUGLY STUFF
YES, VIRGINIA, THERE'S STILL A PANDEMIC
Self-five!
Imagine you are a person. You with us so far? OK good.
Imagine you are a person who has a job that's say, 851.64 miles from your house, if you use roads, and are willing to travel through Canada to get there. By air it is 573.44 miles.
Imagine there is only one airline that takes that flight, which takes about an hour and a half.
Yes, you might have imagined that your job is in Alaska.
Do you think it would be an A) good idea or a B) bad idea, to really piss off the one airline that operates the flight that takes you to work?
Alaska state Senator Lora Reinbold (R-obviously) thought it was a good idea. And you know what she did? She was a fucking dick about Alaska Airlines' mask policy, which is in place because there's this whole pandemic. Indeed she was a dick numerous times.
So Alaska Airlines said fine, you don't get to fly with us. Maybe you could use a different airline, HAHA WE'RE THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN, DICKWAD!
"We have notified Senator Lora Reinbold that she is not permitted to fly with us for her continued refusal to comply with employee instruction regarding the current mask policy," spokesman Tim Thompson said by email.
Have fun getting to work, asshole.
And she did, reportedly! The Anchorage Daily News explains that Reinbold "drove more than 700 miles from her home in Eagle River through a swath of Alaska and part of the Yukon to the Southeast town of Haines, where she caught a five-hour ferry ride to Juneau." That's right, she literally had to drive through Canada and then take a five-hour boat ride. It took 14 hours when all was said and done. All because she's a stupid asshole.
Of course, like a cartoon dipshit, she's pulling the whole "I MEANT to do that!" card, braggin' about how fun ferries are and bellyaching about the "monopoly in air transport." Also she ruined her husband's birthday.
We'll see how fun that 14-hour Yukon expedition and ferry ride is in a few weeks, depending on how long this MENSA-ready brain wizard is banned from Alaskan airspace.
Reinbold is also complaining on the internet, in a public post, about how Alaska Airlines gave her name to the media, we guess by confirming that her poor behavior resulted in this ban.
Here are some videos of Reinbold at the Juneau airport being an asshole to flight staff a few days back. This is what apparently got her cancel cultured from airplanes:
Back in November, Reinbold got on the internet and complained that airline staff are "mask bullies" who did "mask tyranny" to her. She said she got in trouble because a "scaredy cat Karen" (LOL heal thyself, asshole) decided to be a "Tattle tail" (really) who got her in big trouble. In another post, she gave hot tips for how to evade requirements for showing a recent COVID test, saying you should "sneak by if you are bold fir they cannot force you" [sic].
After she was a total fucking dick that time, Reinbold reportedly sent some flight staff a cake that said "I'm sorry if I offended you."
Look at this stupid goddamn cake.
This woman is not smart. Also a total dick.
In other words, she's a typical Republican elected official.
The end.
MAGA-loving former actor Kirstie Alley, whom you may remember from "Veronica's Closet," has thoughts about other people's employment status. She shared the following white entitlement treatise on Twitter Wednesday:
Twitter
It's time to stop collecting unemployment and stop working ... just had FIVE places in the last two days apologize for bad service because they can't staff their businesses. So hope we're not hearing “there are no jobs available."
So, Alley's been to at least five (upper case) places in the past two days? I haven't been to five places in the past five months. And these are just the places that pissed her off enough that she complained. You've probably noticed that it's always assholes who consistently receive what they consider bad service.
Alley's regurgitating the rightwing lie that generous (as in any) unemployment benefits are keeping lazy deadbeats at home binging the Look Who's Talking trilogy. Last week, Florida Senator Marco Rubio whined that "Florida small business owners are all telling me the same thing. They can't find people to fill available jobs. You can come up with all kinds of reasons and wave around all the Ivy League studies you want, but what does common sense tell you is the reason?"
Business owners are commiserating with spoiled actors and spineless politicians about how the help won't pull up their bootstraps and report back to work, risking death from COVID-19 for $7.65 an hour. Governor Ron DeSantis never enforced a mask mandate in Florida, while keeping most businesses open despite spikes in COVID-19 cases. Working conditions are overtly more dangerous for workers than they were prior to the pandemic. Republicans want people so desperate they'd jeopardize their health for a paycheck. COVID-19 was the new black lung, just the price working people pay to maintain the affluent's preferred standard of living. God forbid Rebecca Howe wait an extra 10 minutes for her next Mai Tai.
It's also not like these businesses complaining about a labor shortage offer free day care or anything. It's hard to fill the lunch rush when schools aren't fully open and parents have to stay home with their kids. People who worked in the service industry aren't lazy. They're struggling to survive, yet the people, like Alley, who protest most bitterly about how inconvenienced they are have coasted safely through a pandemic that's killed 560,000 Americans.
Restaurant workers in Florida have been on the “pandemic frontlines" for months now. Business is slow, and if Rubio bothered to talk to anyone but his donors, he'd know how hard people are working and how little they have to show for it. Florida hasn't prioritized making restaurant workers eligible for the vaccine, despite DeSantis reopening them at 100 percent capacity.
The Fort Myers News-Press recently profiled Shannon Soffian, a server at Cristof's on McGregor in Fort Myers, Florida. When she was interviewed, she was on her 34th straight day of work (she'd work another six before getting a day off). She was exhausted, physically and mentally.
The 44-year-old is her family's primary breadwinner. Her husband is a former journalist for this news outlet who was laid off in early 2019. They have a 10-year-old son who is home-schooled. Soffian also has four adult children who float into and out of their house.
She added up her tips and wages from the past seven days. It was what she'd make in three days during a typical February. She took out rent, groceries, $150 for the respiratory medicines she still needs after contracting COVID in July.
She sank into her turquoise sheets and cried.
"It was not a slow week. It was a week where we got our asses handed to us every single day," Soffian said. "I have cried my way through entire shifts, where the tears are just streaking down my face, getting caught in my mask. It's still good money, I'm aware of that, and I know whining about it is absurd.
No, she's not the one who should apologize for whining. Soffian has endured yelling, cursing customers but she still can't afford health care.
Although it's easy for awful people to scapegoat restaurant workers, there's not a proven link between current unemployment benefits and the challenges the industry currently has filling vacancies. Carlos Trejo, kitchen manager at Dixie Fish Co. on Fort Myers Beach, said many of his cooks and dishwashers couldn't afford to wait for the restaurant to reopen after the first shutdown. They moved on to other jobs in fields such as construction or retail that provided steadier, less risky work, with less direct exposure to total assholes.
At Cristof's in Fort Myers, Soffian said mask fights have played out almost daily: customers begging staff to take them off; customers refusing to wear theirs on the short walk from the host stand to a table; customers walking in with mesh masks riddled with holes.
Kirstie Alley sold her six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Los Angeles for $7.8 million early this year. She'd unloaded her Islesboro, Maine, “cottage" in 2020. Wherever she lives now, we pity anyone who works in the local service industry.
I leave you now with non-MAGA creep Shelley Long being funny on “Cheers."

PANDEMIC
THE WEEKLY PANDEMIC REPORT
If you prefer your data in a visual format, here's the current map from COVID Exit Strategy, using data from the CDC and the COVID Tracking Project.
I want to add this link to the weekly report. It's important to remember:
A Sense of Doubt blog post #1983 - Is Coronavirus more contagious and more deadly than the flu? YES.
ALSO... I am seeing a big discrepancy between the Johns Hopkins data in death totals and WORLDOMETER data, which aggregates data from many more sources. Could this be the slow down due to the change in how the CDC obtains the data, having it filter first through Health and Human Services department.

Pentagon Explains Odd Transfer of 175 Million IP Addresses To Obscure Company (arstechnica.com)
The number of Pentagon-owned IP addresses announced by the company rose to 56 million by late January and 175 million by April, making it the world's largest announcer of IP addresses in the IPv4 global routing table. The Post said it got an answer from the Defense Department on Friday in the form of a statement from the director of "an elite Pentagon unit known as the Defense Digital Service." The Post wrote: "'Brett Goldstein, the DDS's director, said in a statement that his unit had authorized a 'pilot effort' publicizing the IP space owned by the Pentagon. 'This pilot will assess, evaluate, and prevent unauthorized use of DoD IP address space,' Goldstein said. 'Additionally, this pilot may identify potential vulnerabilities.' Goldstein described the project as one of the Defense Department's 'many efforts focused on continually improving our cyber posture and defense in response to advanced persistent threats. We are partnering throughout DoD to ensure potential vulnerabilities are mitigated.'"
Booming economies in states like Texas, Nevada, Arizona and North Carolina, have drawn Americans away from struggling small communities in high-cost, cold weather states. In New York, 48 of 62 counties are estimated to be losing population. In Illinois, 93 of 101 counties are believed to be shrinking. In 1970, the West and South comprised just under half the U.S. population -- today it's nearly 63 percent. The new decennial census counted 331,449,281 Americans as of April 1, 2020. The total was up by just 7.4 percent over the previous decade. Combined with the decline in inflows of immigrants, and shifting age demographics -- there are now more Americans 80 and older than 2 or younger -- the United States may be entering an era of substantially lower population growth, demographers said, putting it with the countries of Europe and East Asia that face serious long-term challenges with rapidly aging populations."This is a big deal," said Ronald Lee, a demographer who founded the Center on the Economics and Demography of Aging at the University of California at Berkeley. "If it stays lower like this, it means the end of American exceptionalism in this regard." It used to be clear where the country was headed demographically, Professor Lee said -- faster growth than many other rich nations. But that has changed. "Right now it is very murky," he said.
Less than a week after his appearance, however, an internal company report reached a far different conclusion... Shared on Facebook's employee communication platform last month, the report is a blunt assessment of how people connected to "Stop the Steal," a far-right movement based on the conspiracy theory that former president Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election, used the social network to foment an attempted coup. The document explicitly states that Facebook activity from people connected to Stop the Steal and other Trump loyalist groups including the Patriot Party played a role in the events of Jan. 6, and that the company's emphasis on rooting out fake accounts and "inauthentic behavior" held it back from taking preemptive action when real people were involved...
The document contradicts Zuckerberg's statement to Congress about Facebook being "inhospitable" to harmful content about the election, and refutes chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg's January comment that the insurrection was "largely organized on platforms that don't have our abilities to stop hate, don't have our standards and don't have our transparency...." Facebook disputed the idea that the report went against Zuckerberg's and Sandberg's public statements and noted that both had said there was violative content on the platform that the company did not catch...
Facebook's researchers also outline the bureaucratic, policy, and enforcement struggles of the social giant when trying to respond to a coordinated, fast-paced movement that exploits its platform to spread hate and incite violence. Despite the company removing the most populous Stop the Steal groups from its platform, the enforcement was "piecemeal" and allowed other groups to flourish. The company admitted that it only realized it was a cohesive movement "after the Capitol Insurrection and a wave of Storm the Capitol events across the country...." Ultimately, the report says, the issue is that the company is not prepared to deal with what it calls "coordinated authentic harm."
"We learned a lot from these cases," the report says. "We're building tools and protocols and having policy discussions to help us do better next time."
But Buzzfeed's 3,400-article concludes on a skeptical note. "The report echoes previous high-profile examples where Facebook failed to act and later issued a report promising to do better..."
UPDATE (4/26): After the report's existence was revealed, access to it was suddenly restricted for many Facebook employees, Buzzfeed writes — on a new web page republishing the whole report in its entirety.
Over the roughly 490 million years since their formation, these hunks of Earth were smashed by shifting tectonic plates and broiled by searing hot fluids rushing through cracks, altering both their composition and sheen. Mantle rock is generally full of sparkly green crystals of the mineral olivine, but the rock in my hand was surprisingly unremarkable to look at: mottled yellow-brown stone occasionally flecked with black. Because of this geologic clobbering, scientists have struggled for more than a century to determine the precise origins of this series of rocks. Now, Guice and his colleagues have applied a fresh eye and state-of-the-art chemical analyses to the set of rocky exposures in Baltimore. Their work shows that the seemingly bland series of stones once lurked underneath the ancient Iapetus Ocean.
More than half a billion years ago, this ocean spanned some 3,000 to 5,000 miles, cutting through what is now the United States' eastern seaboard. Much of the land where the Appalachian mountains now stand was on one side of the ocean, and parts of the modern East Coast were on the other. "It's a huge ocean between them, and we've got a little bit of that ocean smooshed in Baltimore," says Guice, lead author of a recent study describing the find in the journal Geosphere.

'Citizen Kane' Loses Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score Thanks To Resurfaced 80-Year-Old Review
The review's headline is incredibly on point, given the circumstances: "Citizen Kane Fails to Impress Critic as Greatest Ever Filmed." If that sounds like somebody went to the theater with rather high expectations, the review confirms as much. "You've heard a lot about this picture and I see by the ads that some experts think it 'the greatest movie ever made,'" reads the review. "I don't. It's interesting. It's different. In fact, it's bizarre enough to become a museum piece. But its sacrifice of simplicity to eccentricity robs it of distinction and general entertainment value." The review went on to pan the film's iconic use of shadow ("it gives me the creeps and I kept wishing they'd let a little sunshine in"), yet praised Welles in the title role ("a zealous and effective performer").
The critic apparently didn't put their real name on the piece, but, as Boing-Boing pointed out, used the common-at-the-time pseudonym Mae Tinee (say it aloud). But whoever wrote it managed to pen a bomb that took 80 years to effectively detonate and blow up Citizen Kane's perfect score. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the first Citizen Kane reviews were added to the site in 2000 and the film most likely had a consistent 100 percent score for the past two decades -- until Mr./Ms. Tinee's dismissive takedown was discovered.
