I was gonna say, “please consider” isn’t strong enough. We’re past that. 

I live in Florida and I have several family members on both sides like that. The most pressing concern is my brother-in-law, who works in the customer service industry. But he’s still convinced that the vaccines were “rushed out” and haven’t been “tested enough.” My other brother in law, who is practically homeless at…

Depending on who is writing those things, the millions of dumbasses might be the heroes. Just let Clint Eastwood get on to bring one of those about, and you'll see how the martyrs died for freedom and the lemmings let the government win or something. Starring John krazinski and released nationwide because nothing…

Goddamnit, this is America. You will not take away my freedom to fly through my windshield in a collision, just like you will not take away my freedom to have my respiratory system ravaged by COVID.

The best analogy I’ve seen is Chris Hayes’ to the early 80's debate over seat belts:

Just remember that we live in a country where enough people would rather die than be told by the government to put on a mask and get vaccinated.

Water restrictions vary a lot by what water district authority you live in, plus, enforcement is generally in the form of fines. The rich don’t give a shit about enforcement because, worst case, they’ll have to write a check.

I truly wouldn’t be surprised if it was filled with FIJI water, trucked in by the bottle. 

Well, when you’re wrong, you’re wrong.

Man, remember when Rio’s Olympics were cursed, because the diving pool kept turning green, and not so much because a bunch of people were going to die afterward?

Just a note, a prequel was released last year, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”, and it’s really freaking good and quite timely. And yeah, with the threat of covid it really seems weird to hold the Olympic Games.

I’m getting major Hunger Games vibes from this :(

Because of advertising dollars. That’s pretty much the only reason to go ahead with this thing.

I mean, I don’t know her or what she’s feeling, but she seems pretty proud to be there representing Japan which is kind of a big deal. Otherwise, I don’t know why they’re bothering with the Olympics at all when the world is still very much in a pandemic with no audience and a country where cases are going up every…

Wait, there’s an Olympics this year?

Not a slight at her given there’s probably an outstanding contractual obligation on her to do it but this does feel like the Olympic equivalent of stunt casting by the organisers given how much of a dumpster fire the Opening Ceremony (and no doubt the games themselves) was.

Were the Post’s attorneys afraid she would have a particular bias in her reporting due to her experience, and perhaps say something that could be biased toward an alleged perpetrator?

Came here to say this.

Every time I think of Sonmez I’m reminded of the fact that it wasn’t just the WaPo newsroom that got upset when the first thing she brought up after Kobe Bryant’s was the sexual assault allegation from his past.

This is an absurd ‘controversy’. It doesn’t deserve original effort. And since you mis-addressed me you can kindly fuck off, fascist.
