And it might have done just that. However, with bars and restaurants at 100% for St. Paddy’s day, be watching the Texas numbers around the end of the month. 

“There’s a sucker born every minute.”

I’d be surprised if we make it out of the ‘20s without a chain of cataclysmic events that set civilization on a steep decline to crash hard and quickly. We are already seeing an acceleration of events that climatologists thought were quite a number of years away if we didn’t get our carbon emissions under control.…

This and American Cinematographer are the only two print magazines I regularly buy (I have a subscription to AC). But it looks like we’re the only two people in this comment section who care that Cinefex is done. I’ve been worried about AC since the start of the pandemic. I suspect it will go the way of Cinefex before…

So this happened two months ago and even from day 1 there was hardly any coverage of a suicide bomber detonating a bomb in downtown Nashville. We all know why there was practiacally no coverage, why there continues to be practically no coverage and what ethnicity/race/color/creed that suicide bomber would have had to…

I mean, if you are friends with the Cruz family, how good a person can you be?

Cruz and the rest of the Texas GOP are taking a page out of their fuhrer’s playbook: Don’t bother giving a shit or doing anything to help. They watched their orange leader do that for four years and still manage to get almost half the country’s voters to still vote for him. So why should they care? Their loyal, un-refl…

We really need a definitive legal decision on if we own the things we buy or not. This could perhaps be the case. I just hope this company’s lawyers are up to the task.

The new normal might become the old normal as we need to replace it with a new new normal.

I’m curious, is the rate of development of variants/strains increased when a population does not take it seriously and pretty much lets it run rampant? Like in the US. I understand that there is some speculation that the increase in cases might be because of a more contagious variant, but at the same time, Americans…

Conservative women have been having babies for ages and nothing has changed for the better with regard to how mothers and their families have to cope financially when they have children. And nothing will change now even though this particular conservative mother has “realized” something. She’s playing to the audience…

Smart move. I had to keep reading. A very good friend of mine who is an author decided he wanted to write about this stuff and so started researching Q and all those crazies. He went deep into it and it messed him up really bad. He ended up in rehab because of it. He’s out now and doing much better, but I remember…

These are the lies that people choose to believe because it is better than the reality about why the world is a fucked up place. Better to believe in the shadowy actors and secret cabals rather than the fact that the system you’ve been told all your life is perfect is, in fact, a giant scam that is fucking you over on…

I feel bad for not feeling bad this turd bought it because of the 300k+ others who have suffered due to his party’s assholery.

According to those alcohol consumption guidelines, I should have been dead years ago.

Like everything Trump has done with his time in office, this kind of rule is exactly the type that is going to eventually fuck everyone over real good now that water has been commodified by wall street. Fairly interesting timing between Trump trying to abolish water conservation rules and this recent move by wall…

I think our failure as a society in this pandemic is too well documented for that to happen.

Here’s what I do:

If these pricks are so concerned about the long term viability of live music, they need to be using their money and influence to make sure venues survive the pandemic’s economic impact. Advocating behavior that directly leads to more easily preventable deaths is not the correct approach. But it is much easier and…

I always wonder when the conservative ideological structure will completely collapse under its own weight and utter lack of substance or structure. But it just keeps chugging along, growing more outrageous while based on absolutely nothing but manufactured outrage. And then again, that’s kind of the point. The point…
