A general strike requires solidarity. Y’all see any of that anywhere?

Smoke on the Wind: the Aerosol Spread of Covid-19.

We should have been assuming this long ago as part of the precautionary principle and based on knowledge of how many other viruses spread. It’s beyond bananas to follow the scientific convention of waiting until all the evidence is gathered in cases like this.

By then, it’s Too. Fucking. Late.

That expert-led methodology really secrewed us over this time, as it will for anything similar — and I include climate change in that. We should’ve been acting like SARS-Cov-2 was aerosol-spread from the jump, but we’ve fetishized the cult of certitude and science so much we can’t act in sensible ways until “all the evidence is in.”

Again, then it’s Too. Goddamn. Late.

Height of Hypocrisy

Accurate, accurate:

I wouldn’t say all women, but about 80% have this mentality. It’s never bothered me much, truly; who would want to be be with someone like that anyway? But it is weird how the same girls will say “men only want one thing” and not even begin to consider a man under 6’2″.

Prendre un Risque

The pandemic has really exposed how much people misestimate and misprice risk. This is true of both liberals and conservatives. The anti-maskers are mostly (probably 90%) conservatives, and their idiocy is obvious. Total fail there.

However, the liberals are nearly as bad with their “Stay inside โ„ต0 years” and “Why do you wanna kill GRAMMMMMMAAAAA?” whinging. Many of them refuse to go outside at all, not understanding that the real risk is indoors, and criticize those who do.

But I should be thankful for them, I guess. It’s how I make my money in other venues.

She Rings My Bell

Had a dream where I was talking with someone about this tall blonde woman who had severe facial scarring. When I say “severe,” I mean a huge gash down the right side of her face, right eye missing, with that deep gouge running all the way down to the edge of her mouth.

I felt intense empathy and love for her, and it was like I knew her…but in the future? And someone (I don’t know who) said, “Don’t you feel bad for her?”

I said, “Bad? Maybe. But I want to know her. Someone with something like that, you know they have some story to tell and are probably more interesting than most. Anyway, I think she looks awesome. Sure, rather it not have happened, but life happens. I think she looks proud and beautiful.”

Strange feeling…like I knew and loved someone in the future.

Tall blonde woman with the scars, what universe are you in? Are you my future assistant galactic overlord?

Blue-footed

Maybe I should start putting boob pictures in all my posts?

Nah, I don’t care. I have about the number of readers I want. Attracting more would be bad. I intentionally write a few inflammatory posts every month designed to drive people away when the readership gets too high.
