No, it has not been shown to be effective. It was used in a poorly-designed “study” with 20 patients. You cannot extrapolate its effects on Covid in the entire world population from a sample size of 20 people. Trump touting this unproved treatment as effective and a “miracle cure” is dangerous and irresponsible and…

Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago have been doing an awesome job.  I went from being “meh” about both of them when they were elected but damn, they’ve got their shit together.

THIS. I also like how WHO hasn’t called it a pandemic (yet?), but CNN was basically “fuck it, we’re just gonna go ahead and call it a pandemic anyway.” Like, thanks for being confusing as fuck?

Yeah that puzzled me too. I’m like.....water in our homes will still work? Why would you need extra drinking water? I can see maybe having canned foods/things with a longer shelf life, but...even most frozen/refrigerated foods last longer than 2 weeks. Just have enough GOOD food on hand to make decent meals for 2…

I agree, and I personally think Jensen Ackles would absolutely kill it as Indy. Same grizzled tough-guy good looks, same ability to be funny and self-deprecating.

Oh damn, I bet you’ve seen stuff some of us couldn’t even imagine. Major hats off to you for doing what you do.

 I work in a lab, so I see a lot of gross shit on the daily but most of the time it’s not from my coworkers.  I do have one coworker who insists on clipping her fingernails while sitting at her desk in a shared office.

Same here.  There was “no bathroom in sight”? Really? You were in Staples, I’m positive there was a public restroom where she could’ve changed a diaper without spreading baby poo everywhere.

Yes.  There was a massive power dynamic there and Bill should rightly feel like shit for taking advantage of that and for letting a young woman’s reputation get dragged through the mud.

Exactly my take on it too.  Fuck him.  I don’t care what his “reasons” for it were, it was wrong and he should be ashamed. End of story.

^^^THIS, exactly.  As much as I think “electability” is a stupid metric when deciding who the nominee should be, it has to be a consideration.

I’m pretty sure the fact that she’s a woman has everything to do with why she’s not in the lead right now. The only thing U.S. voters hate more than women is smart women.

....most of whom were elderly people with previous health conditions at one nursing home.

What in the Covid-loving fuck was that?! Was he raised by wolves?!

Except that she’s not curvy, she’s cartoon-ish. Real curvy women don’t look like that.

Well if you’re fine with 4 more years of Trump because you can’t be bothered to vote for someone who’s not Sanders, then you’re part of the problem. If Trump wins because people with your point of view just don’t vote, then your “voting your conscience” will have done fuck all because I can guarantee none of things…

^^^^^ THIS.

It’s cool that she’s 38, but I’m already pre-emptively rolling my eyes at the inevitable “spinster” and “ticking biological clock” bullshit that’s going to come out of this.

Thank you for giving actual good information. There’s so much fear-mongering in the media right now, you’d think this was an impending apocalypse.

No kidding. People talk about Crystal Skull (especially the fridge thing) like there was no wack shit in the first 3 movies.
