Be real about my motives...seriously? Since Biden clinched the nom...well, probably a month or two later as I worked through the denial stage...I’ve been saying repeatedly we can’t fall into the trap of ‘Brunch Time in America.’ You get one day, then it’s back to work.

Look, it was either this or doing something meaningful about the electric grid

Oh ho ho, if they were people of colour they would be dead. They’d never have made it to prison.

You misunderstand, jinni. We’ve now come full-circle to the realization that Democrats and Antifa run Fox News. I know, I know...I’m blowing your mind.

“Your honor, my client is too stupid to know that storming the US Capitol and beating a cop to death is wrong.”

Own your shit.

The GOP went full traitor and voted pretty much en masse to block the investigating committee.

I hate to say it, but it worked for the Bundy clan when they seized a federal building to protest their father’s imprisonment for justified and proven crimes. It’s not like the Feds have been all that hard on the White Right since the Branch Davidians.

Wait. I thought that it was Democrats and antifa who were the ringleaders.

Whilst out and about today, I happened across a small (maybe 20 people) gathering of anti-vax\anti-mask protesters. Their signs ranged from a Taylor-Greeneesque assertion that any safety guidelines = a New Holocaust to we’re all guinea pigs for Big Vax to the Chinese are trying to destroy us with a virus that also is…

Yeah, no. Sorry but these people shouldn’t be allowed back on the streets in any capacity.

I’m glad that we’ve decided as a nation that the people that used fake medical exemptions and wanted forged vaccine cards can be trusted to use the honor system.

Most of the time they're great. But I've been to too many where everyone was on their phones and it sucks.

You know, reading the article I was thinking “this sounds suspiciously Scientology-like, but surely someone would’ve noticed if there was a connection”

False equivalence. If a club serves somebody underage or somebody already intoxicated, they can get into very big trouble. Most importantly, there is decades of people understanding that rule. There isn’t much penalty for not enforcing mask guidelines and some really stupid states (Hi, Florida!) are doing there best…

Mr. Hughes already pointed out how that would look from an employee’s perspective:

It’s important we make sure people know about the time Metallica got to see the world they want to live in. 

Oh, and this is fun. From the wikipedia page on RC, “There have been few papers about RC in scholarly journals and RC tends not to co-operate with attempts at independent investigation.”

Yes! I think this is what really rubbed me the wrong way over this whole spectacle. What happened to this girl is a tragedy. While I appreciate the sentiment behind the reaction to this photo, her grief is real and she deserves the time, space and privacy to process it. Grief is ugly and we need to let it be ugly.

Oh my god, that last line so much! She's a child, not a saint! Nor should she be expected to be a saint! Whether she goes on into a career of activism or becomes a waitress at Applebee's, she's a human being who should just get to live a normal life.

I really hate all the “And a child shall lead us!” that happens whenever a public tragedy happens involving a child. Adults want to ooh and ahh, but never change anything. Even in the cases where the children do pursue causes related to their tragedies, nothing changes. “Heroic” high school students have been fighting…
