I love how angry space stuff and the new Moon mission makes pseudo-liberals. That’s like 20% of the reason to do it, how fun their idiotic anger is to observe.

They mean well but the problem is that they are very, very stupid.

This point he makes here 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Yep. Tell me again why I should be COVID-paranoid and not concerned with those other issues?

Chinese spy balloon gathered intel from sensitive military sites and had a self-destruct mechanism.

The intelligence China collected was mostly from electronic signals, which can be picked up from weapons systems or include communications from base personnel.

Here’s what I said about it on February 6:

Here’s what SIGINT is. I mean, I am used to being right. I typically am. But it still makes me happy every time even if no one cares. I have the receipts.

Y’all clowns believing it was some weather balloon. Dang.

72 percent of hunters and anglers say that climate change is happening, and within that segment, 74 percent agree that human activity is affecting our climate. This overall acceptance was true across political party affiliations.

I spent vast amounts of time outside in North Florida when I was kid, in fields and rivers, springs and forests. I knew the rhythm of the place as well as anyone can know anything. I had deep within me the knowledge of what sprouted when; what fish bit what time of year; when the first butterflies would emerge and when the cypress trees would start to green again.

None of those hold true anymore. It’s all been disrupted. Climate change has warmed North Florida so much that plants that died back in the winter still grow even in January and butterflies can be found all year long there. Even plants that are killed by the frost sprout weeks or sometimes months earlier. Nothing is like it was.

It’s easy to claim climate change isn’t happening when you sit in a room all day annihilating brain cells with Fox News, too obese to walk across a parking lot much less hike through the wilderness. It’s a different thing when you see it with your own eyes and feel it with your own skin. Even more than the official statistics and IPC reports, I know climate change is real because I have experienced it directly. It’s happening and it is intensifying. It’s the most obvious thing in the world if you know a place like I did, once.

Why do I bother?

Because the “everything is Covid because I say so (like antivaxxers say everything is vaccine) and let’s pretend it’s early 2020 in terms of risk, uncertainty and lack of vaccines or treatments” crew may get people killed.

As I’ve said before, I love that Zeynep makes the anti-vaxxers and the Covidians cry. She’s great. And cares about evidence.
