Basically, it keeps you from blasting everything in a 4 or 5 foot cone in front of your face with germy air every time you exhale or speak. Even if it doesn’t block everything, it greatly decreases the spread. People need to stop thinking of masks as filtration, admittedly, what they’re usually concerned with, and…

Good Christ, you’re a moron. How do you even get out of bed properly in the morning?

It seems like there’s been an inverse correlation between the confidence and wrongness of people in this country lately.

It’s a very silly thing, but come on: “literally the dumbest thing humans do”? Not even fucking close. How about poisoning the biosphere of the only habitable planet in the solar system?

Congratulations on being not only wrong, but confident AND wrong! It’s a losing combination!

Air filtration does not rely on the sieve size being smaller than the particle size.

Might be helpful if the fact of anti-maskers digging graves were well-publicized in the community. Perhaps the people I see pulling the mask below the nose would be fewer if there were consequences. I go right up to them and remind them, and I stand there until they correct it. Otherwise, I have said, I will go to…

Funny you say that, because what I think is the default setting for a lot of people, even when there’s *overwhelming* evidence to the contrary, is:

Amazing. His post states that a white actor with the same initial offer was allowed to negotiate while he, a black actor, was not.

LOL at the U.S. being more worried about people coming IN.

The only thing worse than Teenage High School Drama are a group of twentysomethings who willingly engage in Teenage High School Drama. Can’t we get a behind-the-scenes look at putting on a show instead? Or how the queens are treated by the local queens? Or other queens? Anything?

Thanks for mentioning this. There was something deeply, uncomfortably voyeuristic in being invited to experience raw (and real) emotional pain as entertainment. This show is whipsawing between Snoozeville and the sad and slow emotional dismemberment of the only queen on the show who’s shown true maturity and emotional…

Not sure why any port of entry can’t get the contact information.

They want to pretend the pandemic is over so the President can claim he beat the virus to help his re-election. And if loses he can just let the virus keep spreading uncontrolled and hand over a country with half a million deaths to his successor. It’s disgusting.

RuPaul’s Drama Race: Vegas Drama

Imagine being dumped for the sake of reality tv. I mean, this has been happening with other tv shows for a while, but that is the last thing I want the Drag Race world to be about.

Joanna Schroeder wrote a twitter thread last August about how YouTube boy culture radicalizes boys, but making these inappropriate jokes and then doubling down on the “why can’t you take a joke” and discipline of these boys creates this shame feedback loop (she’s not saying don’t discipline them, but think more about…

“...but I love it when you call me Big Poppa.”

They think if their son or daughter doesn’t have everything specifically gender coded, they’ll end up gay.

I’m mad with him because he was in the position at the beginning of the pandemic to lock every single state down for a month or so until this passed, but he didn’t because he didn’t want the responsibility and still thought he could weather it to get re-elected. It would have dinged the economy hard but also would…
