One of the biggest issues with vaccinating old and sick people first is that you get a lot of “vaccine side effects” that are just things that routinely happen to old and sick people. Old people, smokers, people with diabetes, etc - they all get lots of blood clots! If you vaccinate millions of them, some will have

Yea, but you see he had already snorted all the cocaine, so the evidence was gone

Whenever people start telling me about free radicals, I ask them to explain what exactly a free radical is. 99.99% of the time the explanation is like when my toddler tries to explain unicorns. It’s just a terrible combination of complete scientific illiteracy, lack of self-awareness, and overconfidence in one’s

When we have been taken over by Russia, they will be known as the lesser lakes

Investigating just means waiting until someone does something more racist so they can get her back on the air with some non-apology
