This idea that open schools would lead to mass child and teacher death — we opened schools at various times, that didn’t happen.
What did happen was kids who missed a year or more of school really suffered educationally and developmentally which was predictable.

According to Covidians, all kids would die of Covid and every gramma around would explode like a Covid-cored nuclear weapon going off.
But none of that happened. Strangely enough.
there are people out there still fighting for victory over covid
it is like those snipers of the japanese empire who fought from wwii until the 70s— Danielle Fong 💁🏻♀️ (@DanielleFong) April 20, 2023
Good analogy. Fight’s done.
Twitter sucks, but Mastodon manages to suck even harder, and in completely different ways.
That’s quite an achievement there. I applaud that level of utter failure.
I just unconditionally surrendered Canada to Dick Vitale!
Enjoy, Canadians!
They really don’t seem to grasp that vicious, bigoted policies aren’t just a game: the people that are targeted by these policies do in fact respond accordingly by “staying the hell out of your state if they have a choice.”

We’re two people leaving a red state, never to return. Depending on how I do in the stock market year to year, that’s $400,000 to $600,000 a year of economic activity Florida is losing just from two people.
Trust me, every smart person in a red state is working on an exit plan right now. The economy of those places is going to go down the toilet.
I had such high hopes for Florida. It was trending blue for a while. But economic inequality and angry white MAGA idiots did that in.
But we’re out of here, motherfuckers!
Another one. This place is a nightmare https://t.co/BIwYUtHZQB

I do believe that about 30-40% of the country is effectively insane. Anyone who drives those enormous ChildCrusher 5000 trucks definitely is. And they are also the ones with the guns.
They are bad drivers and bad shots, but that just means they run over and shoot people they didn’t intend to as well as the innocents they also shoot.
It’s seven years till 2030, we got a big pile of money, half a decade to destroy the NIMBYs, it’s IRA…and we’re gonna build stuff.
Hit it!
Is it actually possible for a guy’s penis to touch the inside of a toilet bowl?
Yes it sure is possible. Do not recommend. But it can and does happen from time to time, especially to anyone who has a bit more than average down there.
Hadn’t done Wordle in a bit and bam:
Lucky guess at first leaving only one common possibility.
At this moment, Netflix is streaming about 3800 films – less than half of what the average Blockbuster used to carry.
As for films made before 1990? Only 79 titles are currently streaming. If we go to 1980 or earlier, that drops to 36 (!)

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, for whatever reason there was a great video store in my crappy hometown that had about 10,000 titles on VHS — more than double what Netflix has to stream currently. (And yes, I know it was that many because I asked the owner himself, with whom I had a friendly relationship.)
It doesn’t have to be this way, but we’ve allowed companies to steal our culture and rent it back to us.
Remember: if you aren’t pirating it, it’s not yours. Don’t give these clowns any money ever.
I don’t think most normal women know how brutally guys often get rejected, and how frequently. Every guy I know (including me) has been publicly and brutally humiliated by at least one woman, often for something we weren’t even doing or by a woman we were not even interested in.
Though it is kinda funny getting rejected by a woman you were not into at all. It’s like, “What? Why is this happening? She’s as interesting as a turnip? Why is she rejecting me? I’m not interested in a turnip and never said I was.”
But yes, in the world of men, you are often pre-rejected by women for some inexplicable reason.

Anyone who ever thought Taylor Swift was dumb is themselves a huge fucking moron.
2 Texas cheerleaders shot after opening door to wrong vehicle
As I said, in the US people will just up and fucking shoot you. Big manly man, afraid of a coupla of cheerleaders. “Start blastin'” is the default even in very low-risk situations.
