NIMBYs in San Diego held a meeting to discuss the Navy’s plan to build 14,000 new homes and the Navy, who was invited but doesn’t need any local approval, didn’t even bother to show 😂 https://t.co/jpFrvwEVMF

Power move. Now if we could only do that with all NIMBYs and just build, build, build.
It’s hard for me to think of anything I care about less than Cowboy Bebop, because I actually know about Cowboy Bebop — and I don’t know about any of the things I care about less than that.

Yep. The original tweet says “I have never been outside of the US for longer than a short vacation.”
The “debate” around overpopulation is so senseless. Both sides are just talking past one another. Of course the planet is overpopulated; there are way too many of us and far too few resources.
And of course we can’t really do anything about it, as almost all of those paths are bad. So we’re stuck. Both sides are right and wrong and as is a human universal, both are idiots in their own special way.
Fucking right. We can’t be running scared all of the time. That just doesn’t work in perpetuity, no matter what the under-bed-hiders want us to do or believe we should be doing. Who gives a rip what they think?
Yes, have smart things: vaccine mandates, better ventilation, masking in certain situations. But we know what we’re dealing with now and we have to adapt, not hide forever.
People get sick sometimes with transmissible viruses like cold, flu, and COVID. We can either accept that gracefully, or radically transform society for the worse before being gracelessly forced to accept it anyways.
Let it rip.

This is also a bad and heartless approach. Hope I don’t have to explain why.
I miss the Caribbean. Actually, I just miss holidays. That’s why I’m having at least three next year. Fingers crossed the virus doesn’t do something stupid

The virus might not, but many people are just aching to bring back prison countries. The right people ain’t rich enough yet.
Every time I go to the supermarket, I see those empty shelves that the Dems tell me aren’t happening happening.
Too many people are relishing their panic over the new variant:
Sickening to see. A lot of liberal types are loving this and can’t wait to return to lockdown/prison world. They want it so badly.
Epidemiologists be like, “Endemic doesn’t mean what I said endemic meant a year ago. That was conspiracy crazy talk or my account got hacked or something. Yeah.”
A Quick Thought on the (Mis)use of the Word Endemic.
And half of the people misusing the word “endemic” are “experts,” or are supposed to be.
Covid is endemic now, de facto, no matter what the crybabies cry about, and all lockdown-type restrictions should be relaxed because this isn’t going to be defeated by the Zero Covid fantasies harbored for way, way too long.
Have a conspiracy-ish feeling about the South Africa variant. It being “discovered” now when the world was somewhat getting back to normal feels a little like too much.
Wonder if it’s not just going to be an excuse to lock the world back down again so the plutocrats can suck up the rest of the wealth they have not yet managed to claim. I bet the vaccines do work against it, but we’ll have “no choice” but to go back to prison countries/lockdowns in most places.
Bill and Jeff and Mark aren’t quite rich enough yet. Libs are happy to help them with that. They live for it, and for telling us how they have to hurt us for our own good.
The pandemic and the “need” for lockdowns was used as the excuse to destroy so many public services, public provisions and small/medium-sized businesses, and the liberals want to…just keeping doing that in perpetuity?
That’s a death cult there.
The same with anti-vax, anti-masking “conservatives.” More death cult thinking, except in the form of some idiotic notion of freedom that not even a dog would buy.
The left and right have both become humanity-hating death cults. They themselves don’t put it that way, of course. One wants to destroy your life and happiness “for your own good” and the other for your soul or for what will make some Daddy (Big Sky/Trump/etc.) most pleased.
But neither wants what’s best for you or even for society. This is a sign of failed ideologies. It’s not their fault, in a way. They just have nothing superior to work with, nothing more applicable and no better way to form a world much-changed into a comprehensible configuration.
Some new ways of thinking are gestating, but will they be in time? Will it matter? That’s the test now.
One of the many things I’ve been listening to lately.
