The vaccines are a medical miracle and we will all be able to go back to normal after enough people get them. How hard is it to say that? https://t.co/jBGvBF39A6

Fear-mongering drives clicks and views, not a realistic assessment of future possibilities. It’s what makes the $$, so it’s what’ll mostly be out there.
Glad more people are rightfully making fun of the liberal ridiculousness:
I’m a strong supporter of masking and the vaccines. I’m not in any way a supporter of baseless fear and virtue signaling assclownery.
I finally watched a few episodes of Sex and the City over the weekend and people…enjoyed this show?

A (male) friend of mine told me that was a good show and I should watch it. This was apparently not a prank.
I wanted to punt all those people on that show into the sun. What a vapid bunch of dipshits. But it is a very American show, so if you want to know what a lot of white urban Americans are like, that’s the show for your anthro research.
The excess death toll post-pandemic as a result of trauma/stress will probably roughly equal the pandemic death toll in 15-20 years, but be harder to quantify.
This is not an exaggeration: the common type of unstructured interviews (where you ask each candidate different questions and have no preset evaluation criteria) actually make your hiring decisions worse than having at all, as this paper shows! pic.twitter.com/kKQOWTpXHJ

I really dislike structured interviews, but those results are difficult to argue with. Ah well. The evidence is what it is.

Yeah, fucked that up, didn’t we?
Of course the libs were always going to turn it into some moral crusade, Joan of Arc motherfuckers, William Bell Riley wannabes, fundamentalists misunderstanding nearly everything, imagining the fucking virus chasing them down the street like the equally-moronically-envisioned nanotech in Michael Crichton’s Prey.
Think about your life this time last year, just before Covid hit. What do you miss?
Nice to see these stories. The first 4-5 months of the pandemic, any such thoughts or stories were drowned under a chorus of nincompoops shrieking about killing Gramma.

I thought the future would be cooler, not this clownishly dystopian hellscape.
Most people haven't understood the extent of Europe's failure on the vaccine rollout.
It's not just that Europe started late. It's that they're *still* barely vaccinating.
Here's the percentage of people who got shots each day last week:
Israel: 1.4%
UK: 0.6%
US: 0.5%
EU: 0.1% pic.twitter.com/STiQ1w89fR— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) February 20, 2021
What the fuck, EU?
Limbaugh's career started immediately after Reagan revoked the Fairness Doctrine, which was implemented in 1949 specifically because of what happened in Europe, and he died 6 weeks after causing a putsch that was exactly like what happened in Europe. history isn't subtle

Glad to see more people talking about the Fairness Doctrine again. It was tossed out in 1987, and Rush Limbaugh in his racist human shitstain form really got rolling in 1988.
Limbaugh was one of the top ten — perhaps top five — baleful influences on the country in the past forty years.
