I watched the CDC recommend creating a cat flu to fight the bird flu

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

Like no one really wants to deal with the massive outrage-and-hallucination engine that we’ve hooked our society up to, so it would be really nice to assume Dems can defang it with smart policy positioning or rhetorical positioning or whatever, and win elections anyway. But they just can’t!
