So, if I have this right, Covid-19 was a Chinese bioweapon developed with Gain of Function funding from Fauci that killed no one but eight million people died from the vaccines developed by American companies to fight it. Is that about it?

MockTale@mocktaleapp.bsky.social · yesterdaySomething to watch. One of the reasons you don't see more #nonalcoholic beers on tap is because the alcohol isn't there to kill off bacteria and yeast in the lines. This is why most bars opt for bottled and canned NA products instead. Any progress on this front is welcome.
Gotta give it up to Mattel for following up the nearly perfect Barbie movie with He-Man. Not exactly comparable but the self-awareness remained strong and the fan service remained on point. Both greatly entertaining in their own ways.
While McConnell's corpse remains in hiding, thought I'd reshare this post I wrote back when I thought things were as bad as they could get: www.patrickstomlinson.com/2019/01/15/m...
Mitch McConnell, Not Trump, is America's Greatest Traitor -
It was one hell of a weekend in America. Thirty months after the Republican National Convention, when it became an inescapable truth among serious, informed people that Donald Trump was acting on beha...

I hate thistle but everybody in our yard seems to love it. Hmm...
Saw Mike Doughty at the Vivarium last night. Immediately went home and listened to Soul coughing for the 1st time in like, 15 years.
Many of you may not know but I spent more than a decade in health insurance, focused on the Medicare population. 84 yr olds don't spend 37 days in the hospital for "a fall and mild pneumonia." They're sent home, to Long Term Care, or Hospice. McConnell is dead. They're covering it up.
If England and France had played like they did today, they'd be playing tomorrow.
I think Trump's turn to attacking "Communism" is likely to backfire. The Red Scare was in full swing during his childhood and cemented it as the Big Bad for early Boomers. But it's been 70 years. Today no one under 35 was even alive while the USSR existed. 1/
Canada is on fire because of decades of climate change denialists setting environmental and energy policy. Yes, Canada's government and oil industry have contributed to that. But not at anything approaching the scale of the United States' history of denialism and appeasement.
The detail I can’t get out of my head here is how he told his ex-wife that he had been hired by ICE, but she thought he must have been having a delusion, because how could ICE hire someone who had such a long history of family violence?
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 3w agoThis AP investigation into David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Durán Guerrero in Maine is genuinely horrifying. Long history of extreme mental illness, chronic violence agst spouses and kids, PTSD and heightened violence from mil service. apnews.com/article/ice-...
Any drinking game you can come up with for Trump's blubbering sore loser cope speech tonight will be instantly lethal to anyone outside of Wisconsin. Tread carefully.

JD Vance Says Joe Biden Eats Ice Cream in the 'Most Suggestive Way Imaginable', Gets Clowned Online
JD Vance faced online ridicule after suggesting Joe Biden's staff made him eat ice cream suggestively during a Joe Rogan podcast, sparking memes and jokes about Vance's interpretation.

Milwaukee smells like a cedar fired brick oven. Keep those windows closed, neighbors.
The Liberty Bell having a huge crack was great foreshadowing.
Can't recommend enough doing a ton up to clear one's head. Things slow down the faster you go.
A Monarch in our milkweeds. It's taken some years and work, but the garden is really coming to life.
Ancient Aliens was always just white people looking at UNESCO World Heritage sites outside of Europe and shouting, "Brown people could never!" I hated that show.
There's only a sign when there's been a problem.
People asking if children can read a 310 pg book as if every kid in the English speaking world didn't read 4,000 pages of 7 Harry Potter books and still sort themselves into Hogwarts Houses.
Hey, remember a couple years ago when Mitch McConnell's sister in law was killed when her locked Tesla backed into a lake? That was weird, right?
Republicans pivoting to scaremongering about "communists" when the very first thing Mitch McConnell's wife did after his heart stopped beating is run to China to debrief the Vice President of the Chinese Communist Party is WILD, man.
Honestly, this probably worked out the best for everyone. Belgium crushed the full strength USMNT. American fans have no excuses to fall back on. FIFA made itself look even more corrupt than usual. And of course, Trump embarrassed himself internationally. Again. #ETTD
Republicans lying about McConnell being dead is a dress rehearsal for when Trump dies. They're finding the leaks and weaknesses to plug so they can keep it secret for as long as possible. They will lie to our faces just as he did for a decade.
