Survivorship bias is real. People have thoroughly memory-holed COVID, even those who suffered multiple infections or lengthy post-COVID symptoms.

"I'm done with COVID," patients tell me when I suggest they update their vaccine - including those who get an annual flu shot and are at very high risk.
there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out

there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died

someone called it anticlimactic

Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists.

A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings.

So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.

COVID-19 rates continue to take off across the U.S. as our summer surge hits every region. All metrics report substantial increases in SARS-CoV-2 spread in recent weeks — and the latest data are from early August, meaning levels may be much higher now than our reported numbers. bit.ly/4mgGDAP

As someone who is seriously impacted by long covid, I encourage you to take precautions (like masking in indoor public places) to protect yourself and those of us who are vulnerable.

When Trump declared a public safety emergency in D.C. Monday & took control of the Metro Police, also announcing he'd bring in the National Guard, the rules that apply everywhere else were not in play. The situation is unique & it’s important for us to understand. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
When The President Becomes The Police
The Posse Comitatus Act reserves the police power to the states, prohibiting the federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement absent truly compelling circumstances.

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences.

The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.

Howard Stern asked Trump how young Trump would go.

When Quivers asks for his “age limit,” Trump starts out by saying he doesn’t have one — but then gives a point of reference that looks not great in any light, saying he would draw a line at “12 year-olds”:

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month.

There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp.

Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.

I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?

From what I’ve learned from numerous sources, they (MAGA) can spin it anyway they want. 600 NWS staff fired. The catastrophe was warned by officials in April.

This is DOGE and trump
You might hear them say the forecast models were right, that there was nothing they could have done. FALSE.

The firing of over 600 staffers at the NWS led to the inability of having personnel to notify local authorities. They in turn would have notified the public.

Trump killed 70 people in Texas.
The death toll in Central Texas climbed to at least 70 as of midday Sunday, as rescuers searched for people swept away by devastating floods and forecasters warned that downpours would continue in already hard-hit areas. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

It's been a rough year for the conspiracy theorists who supported Trump. Nothing on Epstein. Nothing of note on the JFK assassination. An actual rollback of transparency on UAPs/UFOs. These folks are realizing they're stuck with conspiracy blue balls, and they are not happy about it.
