Made me chuckle:

Culture Of It
Did you hear vaccinated people with Delta “have just as much virus in their nose so are just as infectious as unvaccinated”?
Turns out vaccinated people have significantly less culturable virus present at the same Ct count
They are LESS INFECTIOUS 💥 https://t.co/OX0Ul0ntWc pic.twitter.com/3vDQSJ6j84

I thought that was probably a lockdown lifer lie, but I didn’t have any evidence one way or the other so I didn’t say anything about it. And of course it was (a lie, that is).
Therapist: you haven't broken the law, the enormous police owl can't hurt you
Me: yep, law abiding me, I have nothing to fear from the enormous police owl

I don’t care if it’s owl-legal. I want this owl.
Mindfield
When I am galactic overlord, I will wear this dress and this will be one of my clone bodies as well since it goes with the dress so nicely:
Ethics of cloning someone who is already alive? Who needs ethics when you’re galactic overlord? 😉 Anyway, it won’t be her mind that’s in the body, it’ll be one of mine!
More Two
The first is model Flora. More porny than I usually prefer but she’s all angles and lines, a really unique look:
And second is model Bianca Black:
That’s a cool photo, but I’d be worried about ticks and chiggers. It kind of looks like she is worrying about ticks and chiggers.
Sporting It
It’s weird when you think about it that a lot of people don’t believe the muscles I’ve developed over three years of hard work are “real” because I don’t use them to play sports I hate.
That kind of mental malfunction is a marvel to behold.
Regression For No Reasons
Local businesses experience ‘déjà vu’ as delta variant prompts new wave of event cancellations.
I don’t understand. We have vaccines. They work. We are just pretending like they don’t? Why? What the hell is this?
Effect
Americans Are Losing Sight of the Pandemic Endgame.
Good article, and it will make whiny lib babies cry big. It’s one of the few I’ve seen that’s accurate as to the science while still being concise.
Light-Limned
I liked this photo a lot and haven’t driven off the prudes lately, so here you go:
I found it here.
No Peak
Anyone who writes “peak” my interest, I just want to crush their dreams. I know it makes no sense, just like my irrational hatred for recumbent bicycles.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I want to make them suffer.
Only Glory
Look, as long as you can find someone who was born within three months of you, who is guaranteed to never work for the same employer, and who has a number of Twitter followers within 20% of you, HAVE ALL THE CRAZY KINKY SEX YOU WANT.

Ah, the glorious liberal future! Where do I sign up?
(This says “for the same employer” but I’ve seen people argue that it’s harassment to sleep with someone in the same industry as you. Yes, that’s crazy. Yes, it’s also common.)
Retribution
If the willfully unvaxxed think people are being too mean to them *now*, just wait until more vaxxed and masked people’s family members and children die of preventable issues.

There is going to be a reckoning, as there should be. The deliberately unvaccinated should all be charged with murder ASAP.
Eurydice
people guzzling horse antibiotics to treat a virus when vaccines are available is a failure of many things, of scientific education, media culture and literacy, individualist vs collective attitudes to health, of online content moderation. but also at some point like, c'mon man
— michael wave (@SzMarsupial) August 27, 2021
At this point I’m just content to let these dumbasses do whatever they want. Looks like between being unvaccinated and chugging horse antibiotics they might all just off themselves.
Good riddance. If there is a hell, hope they end up there. They certainly deserve it.
Smart Abyss
capitalist incentives towards “democratization” (defined as expanding the reach of consumer markets) in fact result in infantilization. https://t.co/cVwQKIMrLG

The primary reason I hate smartphones and why I pretty much refuse to use them for anythng except the rare photo and Google maps is because they are explicitly designed to turn us all into mindless infantile droolers, without exception. They are horrible devices that should be cast into the abyss where they belong.
Nothing is good about them at all.
Dip In Dip out
For me, this is absolutely bullshit. This is just weak and pedestrian protest against epistemic trespass. Alan is just angry others might get it right and undermine his authority.
Obviously, I am often correct contra the “experts,” even in fields where I am not one. Why? It’s because I can sniff out bullshit from a mile away, and can usually determine when folks like Alan are attempting to con me “for my own good.” That entire thread is disingenuous and is just a yawp of anger against unwelcome intellectual interlopers. (Anyway, the mistakes in studies usually aren’t hard-to-detect statistical errors. They are typically far more fundamental and easier to discover than that.)
Remember, Alan, how in February and March of 2020 that the experts said masks don’t work and would do more harm than good? Forgotten that, have we? I knew better because I did my own fucking research.
What a fucking dipshit.
