I'm shocked how quickly people went back to not masking in medical setting and mass transit, including people who made a huge deal about anti-maskers but now act the same as them. We'd be doing so much better if people could grow up and mask in places like this.
As an extrovert who is still socially isolated because of COVID, it's a terrible excuse.
It pisses me off that we can't even get people who prepare food for public consumption to wear masks. That should have been basic food safety since Typhoid Mary. But how are you going to get restaurant workers to do more for public health than healthcare workers?
The open eugenics has been so loud since 2020 🫠
If I have to repost this piece a dozen times to get people to subscribe to Scratch, I will. We are an entirely reader-supported, worker-owned co-op that is aggressively anti-AI, not on Substack, and whose focus is publishing/media.

I especially can't figure out why they didn't go for Male Kamala when he had all the law suits against Trump. Is that not usually what gets them all going? Isn't the one reason they like Gavin that he's mean to Trump? Why am I cursed with trying to understand people
Then again, we're talking about people who thirst over Gavin Newsom, a man who looks like a villain out of an 80s movie who you're not supposed to know is evil in the beginning but his look makes it so obvious.
I could never figure out why Swalwell was their guy to begin with other than they thought he was handsome...which I can only assume is something a very white-centered brain would find true. That Zionist rapist looks genuinely ugly in every picture I've seen of him. Becerra is more handsome.
Unsurprising that the Khive has moved to Latino Top Cop Past Retirement Age now that their mediocre white man was outed as a sex pest, but what shocks me is that they didn't go for the guy who locks people up *diversely* in the first place. Carceral creeps.
Sure
Even just a sequined red armband would seem more like a tribute to his father instead of to the 3rd reich
COVID definitively proved to me that public health doesn’t work in a country where rabid individualism is seen as a virtue and where nobody gives a fuck about anyone else, to the point that they’ll gladly let 68K people die preventable deaths annually to save a few bucks on their taxes.
Because California isn't actually very progressive and voters continue to vote in favor of a lot of right-wing policy. We're not even a year and a half out from California renewing the right to slavery and voter keep turning down things like rent control a slightly less terrible min wage.
There is not a single Dem people are excited to vote for. Ramsey Robinson has easily the best platform in the race. How does splitting votes between 6 ghouls accomplish anything?
Lol
Only because of this type of attitude.
I just can't believe I still expect things of a voter base who refuses to abolish slavery. The fuck is wrong with me
Honestly cannot believe Californians are still not considering this is the time to abandon Democrats who are giving us absolutely nothing. The fact I continue to expect things of slavers is definitely a fault of mine, though.
It's an excellent year to vote 3rd party
I wish Alex Horne wasn't a transphobe-supporting weasel.
Now responding to all Dem text messages, "Move left or get wrecked."
Israel killed an average of at least 47 girls and women per day in Gaza.
A new analysis published by the United Nations shows that more than 38,000 girls and women were killed in between October 2023 and December 2025.
When we have an explosion in neurological disorders in the next decade or so I will take absolutely no pleasure in and "I told you so".
i just want people to protect each other.
Tf is a "progressive capitalist"? Oxymoron. Capitalism will always hinder actual progress. What a wanker.
Idk anything about Ro Khanna, but I'm sure never gonna take him seriously after seeing ad after ad of him shilling for Steyer.
Wow, even Schiff voted against it? Shocking
No one told me how good fresh mint is in tea. I was growing 3 kinds of mint in 2019 and, for some reason, never tried it. Saved it for all my cocktails. Gonna need the teeny tiny mint plant I have now to grow faster.
The cows and rolling hills of Sonoma County
Took a daytime walk
I wonder why we keep saying Zionists are not safe people. It's almost like supremacists are usually bad in other ways if you can somehow get past that supremacist bit. Not to mention Zionists seem to love rape, or at least don't object to it enough to care when it's used for their cause.
Just found out about the Swalwell allegations. It's an excellent day to abandon the Democratic Party.
