1. You are not afraid? Congrats. But this isn’t about you. If you live in a bubble, be a tough as you want. If you want to be a part of society you have to accept that there are things you need to do for the good of a healthy, functioning society (many things of which you already do). Nobody wants you to be afraid. If…

Something that is apparently impossible for anti-vaxxer like this to understand is that the vaccine doesn’t prevent one from getting infected and testing positive for the virus. What the vaccine is really, really good at is keeping one from getting so sick they need to go to the hospital and/or die. And this is amply…

They have no understanding that life is all about shades of gray and nothing is perfect or guaranteed.

People who are vaccinated are very unlikely to get Delta

This is the first time I have given a shit about a celebrity couple. I don’t know why! Seriously, every time I see a story about a celebrity couple I’m like, “Who the fuck gives a shit?” and scroll right past. But every time I see a story about these two I read it and it (generally) makes me smile. I dunno. Maybe I’m…

A four day work week will never gain traction in the United States because our cultural identity is more closely tied to working and making money than it is to anything that could be considered healthy for the mind and body.

Yep. College sports and academic conferences. The UC and CSU systems are huge and fund a lot of academics to travel to conferences. When states do this it puts pressure on academic organizations to not plan conferences in states with bans. I’m on a conference committee for one such organization and plans for a…

Is there a reason method acting seems to mainly be done with the shittiest, most fucked up characters possible? I mean, did Ben Kingsly method his way through Ghandi? I’ll admit I don’t know much about method acting except whenever I hear about it, it is in reference to an actor playing a horrible person.

Where did they get the video? I think that’s what Disney is going to be most concerned about and, from Disney’s perspective, where the real crime is here.

That looks like communism to me! How am I supposed to know I’m free if I can’t stand with my boot on my neighbor’s neck?!?!?

According to the Washington Post:

When I made my comment I hadn’t factored in that part, but I guess I just don’t consider that enough because of the severity of the behavior. I mean, a flight attendant is an authority figure on that plane and the rules about behavior on planes exist for the safety of the flight and the other passengers on board. It…

Fines? That’s it? People who act like this, and especially anyone who assaults a crew member, should be banned from flying for the rest of their lives.

Articles like this, and especially the perspective you give to it, should be required reading for every American.

The number of people who wish ill on this stupid fuck is going to keep the FBI busy. I suspect they’ll narrow it down with physical evidence, but the social media trail of people publicly wishing they could do what Paul’s neighbor did is incredibly long. Does Paul not know this? He should.

The F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck are not intended for the same customer. I highly doubt anyone interested in an electric 150 is even remotely interested in a Cybertruck, and vice-versa. I mean, even the approach of the two companies to the idea of an electric truck is diametrically opposed: The Lightning is desig…

For Republicans, the role of government is to make sure there are enough desperate people who will work themselves to death for poverty wages while being demeaned by employers and customers alike.

CAN’T WE HAVE A NUANCED OPINON ABOUT PEOPLE AND TOPICS?! THE WORLD IS NOT TOTALLY BLACK AND WHITE.
