Yeh, that was a good episode in a pretty good show.
In the last week, 21 dead “canines” of indeterminate species have washed up on the shore of an island in Puget Sound, skinned and with twine wrapped around their necks.
Follow the currents, they’ll lead back to Enumclaw, mark my words.
A certain Mr. Burns is at the top of my list of suspects…
I can tell this is a joke, because Enumclaw appears to be land-locked.
It’s still one place around here most famous for animal abuse.
They don’t kill animals in Enumclaw, they just have sex with them.
The animals kill them I suppose!
Meanwhile, in the “everything is gambling now” file, Polymarket was allowing people to place bets on whether the pilots shot down over Iran would be rescued alive.
This article is a couple years old, but I’m just seeing it now and it doesn’t seem to have been brought up to this point, so;
The increasing availability of home DNA testing has provided evidence that, contrary to mid-20th-century estimations that it was rarer than one in a million, at least in the UK, as many as one in every 7,000 people are the product of parent-child or or brother-sister incest.
Sam Altman’s sister says he raped her multiple times over the course of a decade starting when she was three years old.
So who’s the evil MFer in this case? Is it intended that we should judge in advance of evidence?
That’s not surprising in the least. Child sexual abuse by family members exists; teen pregnancy also exists, and is often brought to term. It’s not so hard to put one plus one together; in in 7,000 seems reasonable (by which I mean logical, not acceptable), even low.
Meanwhike, the regular public often throw around “that’s one in a million” just as their version of going around saying “inconceivable!” when maybe it’s not really that well supported by evidence, and the format of the research and interpretation of evidence are driven by “eewwww”.
So really, one would think that the expectation would be more to the side of “rare, but yeah it does happen”.
I’ll cite an earlier post of mine in the companion thread:
Going by that study, incest seems very conceivable indeed.
Oof. That smacked me right in the face. 
Yup. I dated a child protective services worker in the 1990s. She was first assigned to work in a rural area with a large population of a certain ethnic-religious group where she expected to find a lot of incest. She did, but she also found it in all the other members of the population, and the population of the large diverse city she was next assigned to. Having grown up in an upper middle class WASP family, she was shocked to find that upper middle class WASPs were not an exception either.
Everything’s relative.
High time William Makis got a one-fingered salute in this thread.
Makis is a one-time nuclear medicine doc who lost his job in Alberta after abusing staff and colleagues, later being sanctioned by a medical board for his behavior. He’s been a prime mover behind conspiracy theories about physicians and others who “died suddenly” after getting Covid vaccines, and a key promoter of the myth that the vaccines cause “turbo cancer”.
Lately he’s set up as an “oncologist”, pushing a cancer cure “protocol” that relies on ivermectin and other antiparasitic drugs which are unproven against cancer. Canadian officials forced him to stop practicing medicine without a license, so he’s moving to Florida and apparently is on the verge of being licensed there to practice his quackery, because, well, it’s Florida.
This article is revelatory. The alleged zoophilia is just rancid icing on the cake.
