I would annihilate entire townships to work with someone who has troubleshooting skills equal to mine. It has never happened yet but one day it will. I shall not rest until it does.

I love being the only one in a mask. It makes me feel smarter than literally everybody else in the room.

What masking is really about now (at least for the Covidians).

What is actually progressive and what is just hipster social posturing? It’s like we can’t distinguish anymore. Whatever the most ironic account run by the youngest most single man with the least at stake in whatever debate says.

Angie really bringin’ the heat today. I love it. And she’s right.

Important things do happen in restaurants. Family celebrations. First dates.

This idea that everything that happens in restaurants is frivolous, I think that’s a little off. Some of it frivolous sure. Some of it is very important to people.

I’ve had some great, irreplaceable experiences in restaurants. It was darkly hilarious — and deeply strange — seeing the Covidians claim for years that no one needed to go out in public, that no one needed school (the kids can work in the fields, like the Olden Times!), that no one needed social experiences, that no one needed to travel, to vacation, or to leave the house.

They have a very fucked definition of “need.” Trying to soften us up for the pod life, I guess.

Closing schools and restaurants and crowding everyone together in small apartments for weeks on end might not have been as brilliant of an idea as people thought

According to Covidians, True Lockdown was never tried. It’d certainly work it were.

(Where “True Lockdown” is people being strapped to their bed in a windowless room, fed by IV tubes, for a month.)

Cockpit fistfight between pilots leads to Air France suspension.

The first rule of cockpit Fight Club is that you should not have a cockpit Fight Club.

My 55 yo friend who is having postmenopausal bleeding just called me from CVS in TX bc they refused to fill her Rx for misoprostol (used to open the cervix) bc she couldn’t prove she wasn’t having an abortion. She is having surgery in 2 days. This is what total abortion bans do.

This was 100% predictable and now is happening. It’ll only get worse.

Do y’all men really like to do the chasing?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(At least, true 99% of men. It’s awful and humiliating and terrible.)
