I’ve now encountered several doctors who see my n95 in their exam room & instead of telling me I “don’t need it” tell me “you’re smart to do that.” Yet, most do not have a mask on themselves nor offer to put one on. Several have told me they’ve had covid half a dozen times & have persistent damage.
This is my most confrontational post of the day: please watch Armond’s video & think on it.
It isn’t at all progressive or leftist to spread disabling disease in an ongoing pandemic. There are more Armonds than you know, & folks who don’t mask are making more each day bc most spread is asymptomatic

One thing we have learned is that homelessness in America was 100% a choice.
If we can stand up housing for detainees all over America in a matter of months, we could have done so for the homeless.
We demanded far far too little from our Democratic leaders. We should have demanded they do more.

This is loads of fun, but there are no references to "Hell Comes to Frogtown." Which is not unexpected, but disappointing. Angry Bob, btw, is Iggy Pop. But if I had to tell you that you're probably not going to watch this anyway.

I had to go the Pulmonology clinic for a test this morning. Almost everyone working there was masked. I've noticed that it's the only doctor's office where they consistently mask.
Pulmonology focuses on things related to your lungs and respiratory system. And they are still masking FYI!

67/ And the best (i.e., the very worst) part? The Kremlin didn’t hide all this.
Sure, Musk lied for years and years about not being in contact with Putin, but once their clandestine relationship was revealed, major media just dropped it.
So the Kremlin just stated what it had done... uh... openly:
