From the CEOs of Southwest and American, testifying during some Congressional hearing:
“I think the case is very strong that masks don’t add much, if anything, in the air cabin environment. It is very safe and very high quality compared to any other indoor setting. High-grade HEPA air filters on planes capture virtually all airborne contamination and air quality is helped by how frequently cabin air is exchanged with fresh air from outside the cabin.”
So much for masking policies on airliners.
If you thought last week’s roundup was bad…
…clearly, J&J’s bribe wasn’t large enough.
…and if he’d been executed for the first murders, she’d still be alive today.
…what’s to wonder?
Also via Insty:
…rough guess: 
…it would be worth freeing the loathsome toad, just to see all the #MeToo womyns’ hair spontaneously ignite.
Filed under “SNEAKY FOREIGNERS”:
…best con trick ever.
…no mention, of course of the number of men killed daily.
…sounds eerily like Gretchen Whitmer’s plan for Christmas in Michigan.
…having seen Scottish teens in action, the likely result was “Yes: 100%” — for both sexes.
And two reports from the Woke Bullshit Department:
…that’s called a “Biden”. And it happened sixteen years ago.
…proving that OMG not even virtual reality is safe from #ToxicMasculinity.
And from the annals [sic] of Gen Z / Millennial Deep Thoughts:
…I dunno; probably something to with “rent”, “groceries”, “gasoline” and “electricity” … not to mention “ammunition” for when it really does end.
And now is time for the INSIGNIFICA:
And one with a link:
…in a “lemons/lemonade” scenario, I see a promising and lucrative OnlyFans career in her future. Cue the outrage in 3…2…1…
Some more “normal” youngins for Christmas:
Eva Habermann
Sophia Vergara
Elizabeth Montgomery
Zooey Deschanel
Some chick sent to me by Reader Old Texan
Hey, at my age, they’re all youngins.
First, our Kiddie Joke Of The Day:
And now the grownup stuff:
…me too.
There ya go! Who said Australians have never contributed anything to Western civilization?
..ah, the old “SpellCheck” excuse…
Now get outta bed, because Nigella’s waiting for you in the kitchen with your brekkie:
This is close to being the final detritus swept from my various picture folders. I can’t remember most of their names, so you’ll just have to do the search thing if you’re at all interested. Most are Brit “celebrities”, or else just random things who have caught my fancy as I scour the Internet for stuff I’d rather not talk about right now. Enjoy.
This one is some Canadian TV presenter, I think: 
Tomorrow we’ll return to seditious ill-tempered rants, guns, gas-guzzling cars and similar evil stuff — in other words, it’ll be back to normal
And the American Battlefield Trust’s video of same (you may actually want to watch this first).
No need to thank me, it’s all part of the service.
Increasing irrelevant, perhaps leading to the conclusion that “News Roundup” may just be renamed “INSIGNIFICA” in the future.
…good old Mother Nature to the rescue. Now if these microbes could just evolve to eat Communists…
…LOL that Austrians are revolting against fascism, of any kind.
…if it did, the National Front would have been the ruling party for the last two decades.
…clearly, the producers have decided that viewing audience size is irrelevant to a movie’s commercial success.
…although it’s a pub (a Good Thing) it should have been a storehouse for guns and ammo… oh wait, it’s in Britishland. Nemmind.
…I wonder where he got that idea, that even criminals hate kiddie-fondlers?
…key word: Pakistan.
…I don’t know what “bodies” means in the current vernacular, but I do know that “Elizabeth Warren” and “big meat” should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
…he’ll be acquitted if the jury consists of men over 65.
…the number “25” no doubt arrived at through scientific study, rather than government pulling an arbitrary number out their ass.
Which leads us inexorably into INSIGNIFICA:
And the ultimate INSIGNIFICA:
“Arise, Sir Lewis.” What a load of old bollocks.
Finally:
…as an employment tip for my female Readers.
