As Covid Surges in Florida, DeSantis Refuses to Change Course.
I mostly agree with DeSantis here — the decisions more than the reasoning behind them. The vaccines are available and effective. We cannot and should not spend years cowering inside. The time to fully re-open and resume normal life is now. There is absolutely no possibility (and never was) of Zero Covid.
It’s time to live, not hide.

I guess they also have not heard we have vaccines. What was the point of vaccination if we’re just going to pretend like they don’t exist and don’t work? Fuck this nonsense.
It’s too hard to type Cyrillic on my keyboard so I use this. No, I do not know Russian or any other language that uses Cyrillic variants, but I do listen to a lot of Russian bands and others that use Cyrillic and I need to search for those sometimes.
I can recognize a couple hundred Russian words now, though, thanks to my interest in Russian pop music and such. A lot of times it can only be found in Russian, so that’s what I gotta type.
Thinking of when I was 19 and my girlfriend was 18. We’d gone over to a visit a couple that we were friends with at their small apartment. The place had only one bathroom and you had to walk through the master bedroom to get to it. After a few hours there my girlfriend had to go, so she did her business and returned.
In a moment that the couple was in the kitchen she said, “They have a big mirror on the ceiling above the bed. I wonder who wants to look at themselves while they’re sleeping.”
“I don’t think it’s for when they are sleeping,” I replied.
“Oh. Ohhhhhh,” was her response. Then: “I want that!”
She was very sexual (wanted it more often than I did, by far) but was not that experienced. We broke up before any mirrors made an appearance above our bed. But I bet she eventually got her mirror as she mentioned that to me about half a dozen times while we were still together.

Couldn’t have happened to a more dipshitty bunch of wankers, zounderkites, assclowns and paste-eaters.
The coronavirus delta variant hasn’t stunted the U.S. economy so far. Here’s why.
Because we are actually fighting against the lockdown lifers now is one big reason. Have to keep up the battle against them, and the kid-torturers. Anti-vax idiots, too.
Masks Are Back, Maybe for the Long Term.
But should not be. Terrible idea. If you’re vaccinated, it’s mostly pointless. Fuck masks.
The delta variant and covid-19 burnout.
I don’t understand this. The vaccines work, particularly the mRNA ones. Even if you get infected after vaccination, it’s roughly a mild cold. Most people get little more than the sniffles. Many are completely asymptomatic.
This fucking death cult of “completely safe” has utterly melted everyone’s minds.
Get vaxxed. Get the booster when it’s available. Live your damn life. You’ll be ok.

I remember all of these. A few of them, I only went into once or twice.
The lower right photo, the one of Musicland, is definitely not from the 1980s. (I suspect some of the others are not as well.) It’s from roughly late November or early December 1994. Speed was released on VHS November 8, 1994, so that’s when the promo stand-up would’ve been at the front of the store.

Having been to many non-rich countries, I can confirm that many of them also have far better health care than the US. That people defend this system and cannot imagine anything better is just fucking insane.
Well. Some North Texas smaller ERs are closing tonight to consolidate staffs at other places. I’ve been doing this a while and this is the worst I’ve seen ERs ever.
If you chose not to vax, from the bottom of my heart, screw you.

Indeed. Time to start levying massive penalties against these assclowns, house arrest, murder charges, kids taken away, the works.
I know we won’t, but a guy can dream.
It's wild to me that a bunch of infosec people traveled to Vegas during a pandemic.
I get if you're forced to go, but damn.

Hi, have you heard about these vaccines that in almost all people prevent any severe illness and/or chance of hospitalization and death?
They’re pretty cool, you should totally look into them!
