for the 4th straight fucking year public health has insisted they are well prepared for a surge in hospitalizations and everyone should continue as if an ever evolving, immune depleting virus was no big deal

McMaster Children's Hospital treating kids in hallways as they can't handle the load, wait times at ERs rising sharply all over Canada

Main question: why the hell prepare to fail every time, vs prevent the surge from happening?

We have the tools, use them - mask up

There are no perfect people.
There can be no perfect
political leader.
Look for those who clearly
respect your most important
values and have track records
for getting good things done.
Who do you see?

For some reason, this cracked me up.
But then I think pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza! ;)
What do you think?

STORM OF THE CENTURY!

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the wind speed now reaches 29m per second and waves are about 9 meters high (a 10-11 point storm on a 12 point scale)

It is reported that this is the strongest storm in the Black Sea in the last 100 years!

The U.S. Navy has taken back control of the Israel-affiliated tanker “Central Park Vessel" after it was hijacked by Yemeni Houthi rebels earlier today.

The USS Mason managed to catch up with it before it reached a Yemeni port.

It seems a bit absurd to hear people say “Biden’s not perfect so vote for the guy who fomented the Capitol riot instead!” How is voting for someone much worse going to make anything better? Are some people trying to suggest that fascism is somehow a viable option to Biden? A fascist police state is not any kind of viable option at all. And Trump is openly saying now that this is what he wants.
