Wear an N95 respirator mask in all situations of potential covid-19 contagion.

Any rational person should understand why it is necessary at this point. It has been nearly 6 years. It is not complicated.

there's a lot of talk about what's "dividing" people these days when the biggest thing doing any division is the average person being unable to accept reality as the rest of us suffer through it, ever convinced they're somehow "exempt" or "special" as they bite down into the eugenics cookie harder

the "covid is over" people continuing to assure it will never be over by not moving a millimeter in their behavior almost would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
maybe in 30 years we'll get a "sad sad movie" about their lil regrets and how they "didn't know" and "there was nothing we could do" 🙃

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

A fortuneteller says: “You will die on a national holiday.”
The tyrant asks: “How do you know?”

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

there's an optimum possible world where he lasts just long enough to depose maduro, not so long to make any material difference in the collapse of US fascism, and then immediately croaks

fascism always comes with personality cult so I do think even though vance is as shit the fascist movement in the US will fracture a lot under him, more infighting would be a good thing
what possesses people to try to dampen the spirits on those celebrating the death of Trump by pointing out Vance is also shit? If we get through one President we can get through two y'know

#ThrowbackThursday: In 1980 the 🌍🌎🌏 was declared #smallpox free, thanks to mass vaccination efforts.

Smallpox was an acute contagious disease caused by the variola virus. It was one of the most devastating diseases known to humanity. #VaccinesWork

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

It's amazing how many people are out there bragging publicly about how they now use ChatGPT to perform pretty much all of their tasks at their well-paid corporate job, and have yet to connect the dots on "if you're making your utility value identical to ChatGPT, why would they keep paying you?"
I am starting to believe that the AI craze actually has, for once, created a genuinely useful way to test someone's intelligence:

are they unquestionably on board with using corporate AI tools for everything, or are they going "whoa, hey, wait a second"?
