This is the shit that gets me. Americans pay any amount of attention to a bunch of celebrities that know NOTHING about vaccines or development or medical science, but they won’t listen to professionals that have literally spent decades of their lives learning this one specific thing.

We need to find some way to eliminate “I’m just asking questions” from the discourse. It’s not because asking questions is bad - it’s good. The issue is that “just asking questions” doesn’t really do any good if you can’t understand the answers.

I won’t feel comfortable until he is no longer in office and J Robinette Biden is in the White House.

That’s the core of it. Too many people are seeing “minor inconvenience” (wearing a mask is LITERALLY the least you can do) as some kind of trampling of their freedom.

Funny how all these wannabe-bad-ass trump cultists turn into triggered crybabies at the drop of a hat. That Karen needs a safe space. If someone had flipped her off she probably would have dropped dead on the spot from shock and dismay (after crying about it on facebook, of course).

Remember back in April when medical professionals were saying that if we didn’t get our shit together we’d be looking at a “worst case scenario” of 250,000 Americans dead?

Had a positive test come back in early August after a negative one in late July (about five days apart, different docs and testing centers). Started with what I thought was just sinusitis or a sinus infection - the dryness, swelling, the cough-that-could-be-post-nasal-drip. Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about eight…

First, my sympathies. I was down with COVID-19 for almost 10 days. Days 5-9 are a blur to me where I could barely keep my breath crossing the house to use the bathroom.

It was the first time in my life where I was too sick to even think about playing video games. I just...couldn’t. They’ve always been a source of…

The fact that 277,000 dead Americans later we are still struggling to convince people that COVID is “real” depresses the shit out of me.

Best thing I’ve seen yet:

No fuckin way that happens: The GOP is the dog that caught the fire truck, only right when they bit it they realized that the fire truck itself was on fire and the firemen were going to jump out at the gate to the local ‘U Pull It’ auto lot and just let that sucker roll right in among all the other junkers. Now…

The man rigged an election and still lost. That is what is making him mad. Black voters in Democratic strongholds out thought, out organized & out worked him & his collection of thugs & scumnbags and that is what is driving his fat ass crazy. Fuck him, his ugly wife, his deformed kids (all of them Barron too), his…

So... their strategy was to kill any and all potential boners before people play their sex game.

There was a story this weekend on one of the new sites showing that the only thing Trump’s rallies turned out to be good for was spreading the coronavirus. In the last last 30 counties he visited; his margin of votes was lower than they were in 2016, with him losing 25 of them.

Trump and trumpism are a cancer. This is sedition.

At this point, I think Trump is genuinely confused as to why the entire U.S. Government isn’t fighting tooth and nail to keep him in power. He really thinks he’s done a good job, by some undefined metrics, and that people are just too cowardly or confused to do anything to help him.

Despite having 9 blood aunts, countless ‘aunties’ and many friends who discuss Everything “...the conversation remains taboo...” and being smart, well-read and an overly-analytical worrier about endless possibilities, I Never.Even.Considered it could happen to me!

In fact, you could call this Legion 2.0

Oh that’s totally fair. I honestly hadn’t considered that, ensconced as I am in my white privilege. (To be clear I’m not saying this sarcastically or dismissively—I really hadn’t thought of it because of my white blinders, and that is a problem.)

I suspect in your shoes I would want to keep that too, so good point, and…

At least in my case, my character is very old back from when you could only be Black if you played human.
