Would love to see some data on inaccessibility of the vaccine in Arkansas. I’m boarding it in a neighboring state so we get news about them all the time. A month or so ago they were talking about vaccines potentially expiring because of a lack of use. So it isn't like they have been on short supply in the state.

My home state of Mississippi is in a similar boat as Arkansas, and I can say with decent confidence that the cause isn’t access to the vaccine. I’m watching healthcare professionals on my Facebook feed BEG Mississippians to get vaccinated, and every post is littered with conspiracy theory nut jobs. The pandemic proved…

At this point there isn’t any reason for someone to not get vaccinated. I know I know, transportation can be difficult, but for fucks sake some work has to be done to get it and simply not getting it isn’t a responsible option. Here in Houston, 99.75% of all new covid deaths are coming from unvaccinated people, and at…

*I'm not fighting Kinja to try and post links, but Google can direct everyone to sites they trust to access information. 

As things stand, he’s far too damaged (and old) to survive an actual primary contest against a DeSantis or even a Hawley

Because there’s no amount of goodwill you can build up with Trump that would ever lead him to choose not to go completely scorched earth on you for any perceived slight, and because ANYTHING other than constant, obsequious ass-kissing Trump will choose to perceive as a slight. And, man, you can glean everything you…

Just here to support this. Marfan’s comes with joint pain and dislocations, and the possibility of things like retinal detachment and sudden death due to arterial dissection, among other things. As a person with a (different) connective tissue disorder, I work out to support my joints so that I don’t fall apart. It’s…

“Fuck this school...fuck everything”? OK, sure, fine. But “fuck cheer”?!?!? That is a fucking bridge too fucking far, young lady. Not in America. You take that leftist, communist, woke, critical race theory (I guess? I don’t actually know what that is but I’m told it’s killing America and making cheerleaders hate each…

I thought that was implicit in my statement when I referenced the steps taken to save people’s lives. All of it was about saving people’s lives. Of course it is/was. Normalcy is tons of people not getting sick and dying. 

My point is that these steps we have taken have been the recommended ones by bodies like the CDC.…

Seattle, where PAX West takes place, has hit 70% vaccination: https://kingcounty.gov/elected/executive/constantine/news/release/2021/June/15-70-percent-vaccinated.aspx

I don’t get why Tyler gets a pass for so much. He’s the one who wrote and recorded the lyrics with the slur. He’s also used several homophobic slurs in his songs and defended himself by saying, “I’m not homophobic. Gay just means you’re stupid.” And I will never forget when he was on Punk’d. They made him think that…

There’s also nothing wrong with going with a mask on if you aren’t comfortable. Animanga is happening down in Southern California in a month and while its attendance is a small fraction of Pax West it’s still requiring masks for the time being.

I agree with you wholeheartedly though, the reason people got the vaccine…

I don’t know if you know this, but the US and India are different countries, have different laws, and are at different stages of the pandemic. The US doesn’t need to stay in lockdown to make India feel better anymore than New Zealand should have locked down to make us feel better.

Wow , an actual ‘what about the children post’ . Ok that was a bit mean, and I apologise. I mean you’re right , but ‘kid says dumb thing several years ago ',doesn’t deserve to be thing people are focusing on when there’s so many other racist things actually happening right now that deserve to be..

sorry i understand the hesitancy but it’s time to move on and get back out. get your vax shot and start doing the things you were doing before and that you want to do again. if things change again and we need to lock back down and cancel everything again, then we will. but in the meantime, the time has come to plan…

It didn’t. But simply apologizing as though there are hurt people is probably the easiest way to simply walk away from a manufactured controversy. 

I think we might be hitting the bottom of the barrel for controversies.

“apologizes for how the video came across and for the harm it caused.”

What harm did it cause? Did videos of a teenager before she was famous cause harm to a single person? Honest question.

And if it’s not obvious enough, Tyler is also someone who should not be saying anti-Asian racial slurs.

blessed is GenX, for we lived the full idiocy of our youth with no video evidence to haunt us...
