RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.
Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.
COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.
Is there any chance, now, that COVID will *ever* be totally gone? I'm worried Brainworm Guy will stop new boosters from being available. Maybe the strains will gradually get less dangerous.
I try not to be spiteful or angry. But I do hope we get to watch him die.
"There's two ways of calculating percentage--"
No.
Back around 1970, I couldn't take the Rubella vaccine because of allergies. But most kids did, so I was protected by herd immunity. I fear for children now. Does RFK Jr. own stock in a child casket company?
When I was a kid (around 1970), I couldn't take the Rubella vaccine because of allergies. I was protected by herd immunity. That only exists if enough people *are* vaccinated. (It doesn't happen from just letting people get the disease. That's called "an epidemic".)
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
Oh my god, what a shocking turn of--no, I'm not at all surprised.
It's hard for satire to keep up with reality, with this motherfucker around.
It's not remarkable for one man to be a demented halfwit racist/rapist psychopath who hits 11 on the Narcissism scale. What's eternally baffling is that a country with our Constitution is allowing him to be President.
And you got a "Follow" from me.
If that fucking thing had passed, I don't think I would've slept between now and the Midterms.
(Now I'm going back to looking up about twenty Democratic candidates in the upcoming Georgia primaries. Lot of choices.)
Hard to believe now, but Schneider was once in a really good SNL sketch about dumbass, xenophobic American bigots.
So far, it looks like I'll be voting for you in the May 19 primaries, based on your platform. I'm a stone-cold atheist, yet lately I've been hearing a lot of good stuff from you and Sen. Warnock, both pastors.
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
2/ -- We have to ask the leasing office to let us in. The Hello Package website has a thing that's supposed to generate a one-time code in that situation; it never, ever works. I really don't know who I hate more, FedEx or Hello Package. They both suck at their only reason for existing.
1/ When we order something, and FedEx delivers it, the driver never, ever enters the package into the stupid package system ("Hello Package") we're required to use to get into the locked apartment package room we didn't ask for. We know there's a package in there, for us, but can't get in. So --
Patel is, technically, a lawyer. It's always baffling how fucking stupid these people can be.
Nap up front, party in the back.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
So, he thought Sauron was the hero?
Money should serve people. In capitalism, people are forced to serve money.
If I could draw, I'd illustrate my own stories. As it is, I'm looking forward to contacting an artist. (Actually, I already know who: Rachel Grubb, Minneapolis-based artist/director/writer/scream queen. If I can get in touch with her; we used to correspond on FB, but she's not there any longer.)
There used to be tons of paperback versions of tv shows. No idea why. I read a novelization of "Nanny and the Professor," FFS.
Yeesh. Since you bought it used, does that mean it was a printed book? We've actually got printed paperbacks of algorithm-assembled "books"?
And--would you mind telling us the name of the "author"? I want to see if they actually refer to themselves as having "written" all those books.
Reading matters
Why does fiction matter?
Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people.
A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Texas, even more than most states, cannot afford a brain drain.
Somebody murdered a school yard of children. No new gun control laws. Somebody shot *500* people from a hotel room window. No new gun control laws. Why would this time be any different?
Are there any circumstances where simply chanting the initials of one's own country isn't ridiculous? If we still had Civics class in elementary school, it should explain the difference between patriotism and nationalism.
