Second Amendment activists in shock as Charlie Kirk shot instead of just schoolchildren
OREM, UT - Americans who champion the right to bear arms were shocked Wednesday as controversial commentator Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, as opposed to the ordinarily acceptable trend of mass shootings in schools.

Best comment on Jay Bhattacharya that I've read to date.
Motherfucker wrote one sloppy paper in April 2020 and instead of being like oops, shit, my bad, he has kept doubling down until now he's killing most promising medical technology of the past quarter century rather than going to therapy.

Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is."
It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.
In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

He was admitted after he fell and injured his arm. But because there are absolutely zero transmission protocols in hospitals and they let disease fly around and don’t require masks he got Covid there and died.
This is not a unique story. Last I read 30% of Covid cases are hospital-acquired.

Meghan McCain has hopped on the snake oil grift express and is flogging a fraudulent product to “detox” from the COVID19 vaccine.
It costs $90 for a bottle of 120 pills. The formula was created by none other than Peter McCullough, disgraced anti-science doctor who spreads COVID19 misinformation.

However, I’d like to take a moment to gently remind people that the event really does support artisans, public history, and preservation. It’s not just about celebs.
