I vote that while the rich are waiting out coronavirus on their yachts, we break into their mansions and steal all of their shit. How many Ming vases can you fit into a freshly liberated Ferrari? There’s only one way to find out!

No one can really hide from this 100%. The rich require staff, and staff are tasked with doing their marketing, their cooking and their cleaning..all of which require them to be out among the infected. Your yacht has a messy, germ-y crew that needs to connect with those you are trying to insulate from in order to get…

People have lost their god damn minds. Everything we know about this virus says that for most of us it’s probably less deadly than several strains of the flu that go around every few years. If you have a young child and had to choose which they get, apparently you should prefer they get COVID-19 over the flu. The only…

I’m in full support of people taking their shoes off when they go into someone’s home, but have to admit that it’s all fun and games until you go to someone’s house for a baby shower and the Manolo Blahniks you’ve left by the door get stolen by another guest. Then you have to get married to yourself just so you can…

Yo, anybody remember the short story “The Masque of the Red Death”? Your health is only as secure as the least-cared-for member of your society.  

Rich People Have Always Been Assholes During Plagues

When my friend and I were studying abroad (both in different places), another mutual friend asked us to visit him in Belgium, where he lived with his parents. His mother insisted on house shoes. She thought that it was dangerous to walk on wood floors in socks, and that walking in bare feet gave you a stomach ache.

A friend of mine was in a grocery store yesterday. Although the store asked customers to buy a maximum of 5 bottles of hand sanitizer, she observed a lovely gentleman clear the entire shelf of product. Like, dozens of bottles. When asked politely by staff not to take the last of their supply, he screamed that he was a…

Remember Obama’s Louis Gates incident? There were liberal voters (sic) calling the prez “just another complaining black man”.

I would never buy a pair of house shoes, but that’s because my mummo makes tossut at such a rate that I will never need a different kind of house slipper. These are an example of tossut (am working from home today, mine are orange but otherwise similar). I have been led to believe they are common for Finns but that…

Ah, but you see, those Sanders goons calling Warren a snake only did so because she *checks notes* put together a plan that realistically laid out how to achieve Medicare for All, and as such is a terrible centrist sellout liberal who must be to the right of Joe. Oh, also She’s using a PAC, which means she’s in the…

I have the same problem. We don’t wear shoes indoors in our house, and I have no problem taking my shoes off in someone else’s house, but I feel weird about asking people to take off their shoes in my house.

i dunno, The Root did more to explain the benefits of a Warren presidency than Jezebel ever did. 

Four years ago, a woman garnered millions more votes in this country.

Our first woman president will be a VP who steps into office because one of these old white men kick off. It’s really depressing that’s where we need to start, but I’m beginning to think there’s no other way.

I believe the heightened concern this time is due in part to the distinct sense that there is a leadership void in Washington and the mixed messages being sent. 

I ordered an extra case of wine last week. Doomsday prep complete.

Media saturation is feeding the frenzy. I am in the “vulnerable” age group, but I am in good health and will just continue to do what I always do. I can’t wash my hands any more than I already do. I routinely wipe down shopping carts, gym equipment and everything around me on planes. I use my knuckles instead of…

Nowhere on this page does the word “quarantine” even come up; rather “self-isolation”
