Lockdowns are not a good long-term solution. Destroys society in other ways.

The first ten on today’s playlist:
Frow
“Frowzy” is such a great word. A++, would use again.
Hink
People get angry when you tell them to do their own thinking.
Feel the Burn
One of the problems I have with everyone’s identity obsession is that the narcissistic obsession itself and their identities are both just so boring.
My identity as Galactic Overlord is not boring. Which you’ll realize as my space lasers are frying your face off.
Not Equally Bad
I think liberals are obsessed with de-platforming and censorship because they are mostly incapable of offering up any better ideas than their opponents. Not that their opponents have good ideas. They don’t.
But neither do the liberals, and that is our whole problem.
Cor
The funny thing about Corbyn is that he's essentially a Saint, which is why the smears have always been so ludicrous. The man hardly has a mean bone in his body, which was precisely the problem, sadly. https://t.co/xTA2mXVBph

Yeah, he seems like a generally good guy. The UK will be worse off for decades because they (like America) are going fascist lite and discarding leaders like him.
But he was a bit spineless, and that was his doom. However, it’s exceptionally rare to find the necessary ruthlessness in concert with being generally good. That’s a one in a million combo. FDR is the last political leader actually elected to high office I can think of in the US who had both qualities. Probably Al Gore, too, but he didn’t win the only election that mattered.
Corbyn needed more Dexter and less Henri La Fontaine.
