There are zero reasons you need to carry a rifle into the supermarket. I will never ever understand why so many Americans think this gun culture is normal or acceptable https://t.co/9nwpiOFemA

Unless you are fighting the Russians in Ukraine, there’s zero reason you need to fucking carry a gun anywhere. Too many people in the US are mentally ill.

Bought a ten-pound bag of flour recently. Thinking of buying another. Y’all should be prepping. Told you before the pandemic and I’m telling you now.

It makes me marvel at how f’in crazy the people in the post below this one seem, especially as it becomes clear that much of Long Covid is mostly pandemic and isolation-based trauma.
If you’re attending a conference or convention in the midst of this COVID spike you should expect to come home with the virus and plan ahead of time for that eventuality. Consider also all the people you’ll expose in your travels home from the event. https://t.co/DQVwUy78aK

These people are fucking nuts.
I don’t trust anyone who cares greatly about Long Covid but hasn’t done just as much in the past (and now) to resist obesity and its causes.
It’s wild that we’ve invented a technology where you can trigger people into a blind rage by typing things like, “America is pretty great,” or “hard work is important for success,” or “space travel is awesome & we should do more of it,” or “men & women are different.”

It really is. It’s because when you say those things, people makes all sorts of baseless and out of context assumptions about who you are and what you believe. If you say, “Biology exists,” people assume you want to exterminate all trans people and are anti-feminist. If you say, “Maybe people should be able to date who they want,” people assume that you approve of rampant sexual harassment and lowering the age of consent to 12. Etc.
We’ve built rickety identities around catchphrases and signifiers that actually signify very little most of the time. It’s a terrible way to get anything done or to achieve any goals. But that’s kind of the point of it, really, right? Easier to make money when you can ramp up the rage and hatred. At least for the next quarter or so.
