CDC now reports zero weekly Covid deaths in people under age 30

The vast majority of deaths today are in non-vaccinated, non-naturally immune adults with a comorbidity, like obesity. That's been the case throughout. https://t.co/Fgwr1etsHx

But we must panic and lockdown and hurt those who are least affected. Makes total sense.

Was FaceTiming with a Turkish friend of mine I’ve never met in person the other day. She warned me that she was really “huggy” and a “hanger on” of her friends, and asked if that was ok when we visit in person.

I said something like: “I don’t know how I could possibly withstand an attractive, intelligent and affectionate 25-year-old woman hugging and hanging on me. Oh, the horror. How will I ever deal with the terrible trauma of this?”

She got the message that I was good with it, I think. At least she laughed a lot.

Let them eat soybeans.

Or poison pea slurry.

Boeing Built an Unsafe Plane, and Blamed the Pilots When It Crashed.

Pilots are always blamed when shitty airframes meet the dirt; it’s just how that industry works. That the 737 Max was ever allowed to fly again is a tragedy and a mistake. It’s fundamentally broken.
