“Dies of coronavirus.”

This is the kind of headline that could have used a definite article at the opening. “Doctor Who Tried to Warn...” has a distinctly different meaning for some people than if they were to read “The Doctor Who Tried to Warn....”

If it’s good enough advice for fighting the flu that has killed 10,000 Americans this flu season, it’s good enough for the coronavirus. Wash your hands.

The Muppet Movie was a lot darker than people remember.

Fresh off sharing another clip in which he speaks Jamaican patois, Chet Hanks (a.k.a. Chet Haze)—the son of actor Tom Hanks—has shared an extended video breaking down his stance on cultural appropriation.

“Perhaps [Meghan and Harry] didn’t think things through exactly as they could have...”

They also wouldn’t have allowed people to start having more than 1 child a few years ago! I mean, this empirically blows that idiotic conspiracy to bits.

one of my wife’s friends sincerely believes that the Chinese government developed this virus for population control. And I’m like, “The Chinese government, if it were that interested in population control, would have no qualms about rounding up every 10th, or 100th, or 1000th person, throwing them in a camp, and…

Here he is talking out of…

He might be exempt from the penis flattened, because it'll take too long to find it.

Wait, Rush has used himself as proof that smoking causing cancer was a librul plo...ohhhhh. 

I don’t want to say that anyone deserves aggressive lung cancer, but if it had to be anybody then I’m glad it’s Rush Limbaugh. I can’t wait for him to enter the bad place and experience butthole spiders and chainsaw bears.

Is it wrong my first thought about Rush was, “Good. Karma is working.”

Her policies aren’t as good, she doesn’t have a strong history w/anti-war or movement politics, and she’s a vocal capitalist. That’s pretty much it for me, at least. I also think suggesting she has “basically no downsides” is a somewhat...rosy view of things.
