Covid is going to be the excuse and the impetus to destroy much that was good and necessary. It is sad to see how many liberals are just rolling on along with that, right in the pocket of hedge funds, billionaires, and other scurrilous scumbags.

Resilience
Study on 1.5 million Swedish men finds outstanding correlation between physical fitness at 18 years of age and severity of Covid-19 infection later in life. High muscle strength was associated with less severity in viral infection. https://t.co/WhDk1uBDr7

That is completely not surprising to me. Being fit and strong protects you from so many things. Conversely, being fat and unhealthy (which almost always go together, contra FA nutty buddies) makes you fragile and weak.
The Truth
The math here is not straightforward, but that’s what, nearly 0.1°C warming per each nuke plant that was never built?
Dang.
Withdraw All
There is no good way to withdraw from Afghanistan. Anyone dunking on Joe Biden for doing the right thing should be rightfully and proudly ignored.

Fuck those people. Biden did the right thing for once.
Shoulder Just No Bility
Oh what the fuck. This hurt me.
Mozy on Down
The whole point of Firefox was that it was customizable. Now it’s not.
Why, then, would anyone use it? By the way, FF just continues to exist so Google can claim it does not have a browser monopoly. That’s all that’s left for it.
Not More Than
You call it a failure, I call it a rare and impressive overcoming of the sunk cost fallacy. https://t.co/MHj5QGVzEY

Every single veteran knows that Afghanistan was a mistake and that there was no way we could transform a society like that (or any society, really).
After 9/11, I considered signing back up to the military. Glad I didn’t make that mistake, deploying to endless, pointless wars.
