I feel like part of this plan is to use out of work coal miners to mine the uranium. It’s a no-brainer - killing one miner with two stones!

All the fun photos of the Nazi cosplay and the immigrant kids in cages got moved to Stephen Miller’s official Flickr page because Melania thought they were tacky. 

That sounds like a setup I want to try for my desk. I do find that having separate monitors is useful just from a mental standpoint - something about the compartmentalization in different spaces helps.

It kind of figures that if you’re stupid enough to vote for Trump and still be supporting him at that point, you’re stupid enough to drink bleach.

Can a fritata have musings?

This very much reads like the plot of a Sunny episode, and the revolution comes to an abrupt end when the gang realizes that Frank spent all their ammo money on meth and hookers, plus nobody actually wants to wake up at 5AM

If we block out the sun, the coronavirus wins

Yea unfortunately they wouldn’t allow that, since most red states effectively receive a subsidy from the blue states. For all their talk about Democrats holding back the economic prosperity of bumblefuck America, if you take away the Northeast and the West Coast, you basically have a developing nation in terms of

Afraid enough of COVID19 to wear gloves, but not enough to wear a mask. 

I think they already inhabit a vast unused area of the United States. The Thunderdome would just need to be moved there from its current location in Florida

How did you even manage to spell a big word like thoracoscopy? Jesus fucking christ, it’s like you googled “but what if there was a way to put that bright light inside the body” and that was your first hit. Because in this godforsaken country where we can’t even find enough masks or disinfectant, your magic bullet

I’m so tired of the partisan rancor and fake news on this site. In the spirit of bipartisanship and humanity, I will gladly share my precious half-bottle of bleach and full liter of lysol disinfectant with the White house and the Republican Senate leadership. I also have a gallon of the purest grade of isopropanol in

We went through this shit in the great depression and again in the great recession. Stop voting for people whose greatest worry at times of extreme hardship is that if we help keep people from destitution, that entire society will collapse because we will no longer be business-friendly or whatever bullshit they’re

Well, my family income currently comes in large part from taking care of patients with COVID-19, and I have a very selfish interest in myself and my partner staying alive and my child not being orphaned. The faster we can bring the viral cases down, the safer my family will be - but so will everyone else’s

Can’t wait for all the “Dur, that’s their job, if they don’t like it they can quit” assholes to start posting. Because you know that each of them has at least one post where they argue that cops can just shoot anyone they want because their main goal is to come home to their families safely. 

Unfortunately “doctors and trained people” also form a spectrum, with one end being stupid. I’m in some facebook physician groups related to COVID19, and for every useful post sharing information that can impact patient care, there are 5 posts from random dermatologists or physician assistants with bullshit

There you go trying to use your liberal elite math and numbers to argue with people who would rather just go with their gut.

I mean, I have an MD and a PhD in cell biology plus took multiple graduate courses on vaccine development, but the fuck do I know?

There’s also the very obvious question of how strong the protective immunity is. Not all viral infections can get full protective immunity, either with vaccines or natural infections. It’s an RNA virus that should mutate reasonably quickly. I would not make any public policy decisions based on the idea of people being
