I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab.

It was the day my grandmother exploded. I sat in the crematorium, listening to my Uncle Hamish quietly snoring in harmony to Bach's Mass in B Minor, and I reflected that it always seemed to be skipping dipshits that drew me back to Gallanach.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a skipping dipshit in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
“And so we beat on, boats against the current, skipping like a dipshit into the past.”

Yes, the death penalty is cruel, brutalistic, immoral, retrogressive, unevenly distributed among races/ethnicities, and plays to our very worst instincts as a species. But: it also doesn't fucking work. So that's neat. www.scientificamerican.com/article/evid....
Evidence Does Not Support the Use of the Death Penalty
Capital punishment must come to an end. It does not deter crime, is not humane and has no moral or medical basis
