Thoughts and prayers have not been especially effective against COVID-19. It may be time to start trying tests and masks.

It’s Kh-Ash-A, which is basically Kesha.

The asshole would be helping a lot more by WEARING HIS MASK! And in a nursing home? How fucking irresponsible can he be?

And it’s still an open question of whether the prosecutors will try to obtain an indictment, or whether they’ll try to lead the grad jury to clear the killers.

In a few weeks the GOP will be pointing to massive failures in the leadership of the postal service as a reason for privatizing the entire enterprise. Sometimes it feels like they’re determined to prove that government doesn’t work by being completely incompetent at doing government.

Rose was likely referring to Mnuchin’s comments from mid-March when he encouraged Americans to travel, something that was idiotic, even at the time.

The D&D games that I’ve run are usually primarily role-play, although combat always sneaks in. The same for GURPS. When I’ve played Paranoia (rarely and a long time ago), the “combat” consisted solely of summary executions which doesn’t really count.

Them: “Here are lots of facts about the special challenges that Black people in our city face.”

These new cases probably developed before he opened the state, which means that there could be a flood of new infections coming down the pipeline. That’s one of the problems with opening up too early: you won’t know how badly you fucked up until it’s way too late.

First, the Utah Highway Patrol should maybe consider a face-obscuring system that looks a big less like a horrific, yawning chasm on your head, because that’s just kind of disturbing.

I mean, they haven’t done anything in the first place. Might as well acknowledge the fact by disbanding.

Government by sophomorism. Does he get all pissy every winter about scarves?

Chi-Ash-A.

I don’t think he’s totally wrong. At some point the country needs to open up, and it’s hard to imagine that we’ll be able to wait until things are perfectly safe to do so. But that’s not a good argument for opening up right now when the virus is completely out of control; right now the calculus supports waiting until…

“Everything before the shooting was disappointing, but things really started looking up right around the intermission”

It’s funny how quick those guys are to hide behind their wives....

Good point. It’s still better than usual, because usual is so awful, but it’s not an actual apology.

By the very, very low standards set by this administration, this is actually fairly impressive. Trump and his cronies never apologize, no matter how vile they’ve been. I wonder if the president will start complaining about his VP and how weak he looked.

I think she might have religious objections, but otherwise absolutely.
