Dang, that “hoax” is getting pretty bad. If the hoax pandemic gets any worse, we’re going to start having real problems.

Why a SARS-CoV-2 variant that's 50% more transmissible would in general be a much bigger problem than a variant that's 50% more deadly. A short thread… 1/

Indeed. And this changes the mask risk calculation.
It’s probably a good idea to wear a mask outside now if you’re going to be within ~2 meters of anyone else for longer than a few seconds. The greater transmissibility changes the equation significantly.
Hate to say this, but I go with the actuality and not I want to believe. And anyone who knows me realizes that I hate masks more than anyone. But the facts is what they is.
Doing It Right
Anyone who refuses the Covid-19 vaccine should be fired from their jobs and placed under house arrest.
Yes, I am serious.
No Sum
A question for my philosophy twitter friends. When I ask a question on Twitter and you reply with a link to a 20k word article on Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, what are you expecting to happen next?

Who cares? Read the article or don’t. Not everything can be summed up in a fucking tweet.
Endorse
it is weird, now that there is a for-profit discourse industry, watching every facet of every piece of fiction being reduced to a 1:1 "learning experience," as if people aren't able to watch a fictional character do a thing without thinking "hmm, looks like a role model to me." https://t.co/BJ4GyQInm1

Strange how many libs think that the portrayal of something is an endorsement. That is, no matter how it’s portrayed or in what context.
The stupidest example of this I’ve seen lately is libs castigating some WWII movie for the Nazis wearing swastikas. Which, you know, I don’t even know what to say about that it’s just so harebrained.
