But just look at her shoulders, delts and lats! (Yes, I know that is the apocalypse shot from Terminator 2.)

If ppl actually took covid risk seriously, they'd have been advocating for better masks on airplanes; cloth masks do very little. When I was avoiding getting covid I just behaved as though others were maskless, and wore a full respirator on planes. Do that, it's within ur power!

Aella, what’s most important to most people (especially paranoiac PMC libs) is being able to enforce their absurd diktats and priorities on others, not on protecting themselves. Their identity is threatened if others make different choices than they have. You’re unusual in that you do what you wanna for the most part and it’s difficult for you to understand (as it is for me) why others can’t or don’t do that.

The first ten on today’s playlist:

Sex work itself wasn’t widely criminalized until the early 20th century, when moral crusaders, alarmed by unfounded fears that white women were being forced into prostitution.

Huh. Didn’t really know this, looked it up and it seems to be correct.

So it was always white women absolutely no one was interested in convinced they were going to be kidnapped from the general store/Target parking lot and pressed into sex slavery? Guess some absurd fantasies never die. Be interested to understand more about the weird psychology of this.

It’s glorious to watch the Covidians crying about the mask mandate being struck down. I love it.

YouGov survey, today: 63% of US adults surveyed support face masks being required on public transport https://t.co/Lyyvx0Sajk pic.twitter.com/GvLOnqfFsM

Think this is bullshit and is just virtue signaling as many people do when answering survey questions. I was on two completely full airplanes yesterday. Only about 2% of people were wearing masks. No one hassled anyone for wearing one, so it was not people worried about being bullied as far as I can tell. The reality on the ground and in the air is that most people got vaxxed and boosted and don’t care about masks.

And by “reality,” I mean what actually happens in the real world, not in much-beloved-by-libs “polls” that show any ol’ bullshit they want to believe. This is also how I knew Russia was going to invade Ukraine as I rely on what’s actually happening, not what a buncha clowns wish were happening or might be happening if the world were completely different.

How 'bout a 🧵on the artillery sent to Ukraine, as the narrative is bouncing between "this is pretty good," to "it's still not enough," to "NATO/US needs to do more!"

The devil is in the details.

Mark is the only person on Twitter who knows what he’s talking about militarily. He’s the anti-Ian Welsh. Of course, a brain-damaged gopher tortoise is smarter than Ian Welsh about most things these days, so maybe that’s not a good comparison. Anyway, Mark knows what he’s about.
