Son sent to ER for a concussion on playing field....NO ONE in hospital or ambulance EMTs masking. UFB...well, actually - one nurse - not one of his...was masking....some visitors were, not many.
I spent 8 hrs there - thankfully in a decent sized room-- with a mask on and it never bothered me. Not masking at hospitals is literally INSANE. WTAF? Even with a U.S. Covid surge.
I like how it took us a hundred fuckin' years to figure out that maybe you can use sails on fossil-fuel burning ships, too.
Wait, wait, stop me for a minute. You're telling me you just put up these sail things, catch the air, and it saves energy? No. No, I'm sorry, I just can't accept this new information. It flies in the face of the 20th century.
#RandyRainbow kept me sane during the horror years of trump.
His magic still works
"some drone strikes against Russian military targets “are being launched from inside Russian territory”...
Russian authorities said the attack, which “highly likely destroyed” a Russian bomber aircraft, was carried out by a so-called “helicopter-style” drone. The British Defense Ministry said those drones “are unlikely to have the range to reach [the air base] from outside Russia,” suggesting that the attack may have been launched inside Russia"

But hey, #COVID is over, and everything is just fine. For the record, my college stopped masking and other measures months ago. (I got thoughts on that but will refrain).

The FCC was empowered by Congress to regulate our media expressly to build a pro-democratic public debate.
Chair Rosenworcel: do not shrink from your job. There must be SOME character standard to hold a TV license, to serve the public. Intentional news distortion violates that.
We all face a responsibility to call out Fox’s toxic lies, that harm our country and our democracy. Our democratically-elected government has a role to play too. Let’s act.
This whole #NYT article is based on a one-sentence phone call from an anonymous "person familiar with the matter."
So, somebody with an agenda, i.e. one of Trump's people, or Meadows' people, or a DOJ leaker, told NYT that Meadows is cooperating. NYT doesn't care if it's true or not. They'll publish it as the truth without even checking.
The rest of the article is just rehashing old information to produce an article's worth of words.

@RickiTarr i like language. I use it almost every day
I’ve always had trouble with ear/sinus infections, but it feels like I’ve kept an ear infection and a bladder infection since I had Covid. I’ve had a theory for a while that the virus attacks us where we are most vulnerable for chronic illness, and exacerbates our weaknesses. When I first had Covid, I didn’t have a cough really or much temp (99. 9), but I DID have shortness of breath, an inner ear infection with vertigo and a bladder infection.

What is truly stupid about SELLING vaccines is that a major benefit of vaccination is to the OTHER people around you. It is a classic example of a PUBLIC good.
They should be free.
We can afford to do that.
We can afford to make most medical care free.
We're choosing not to, and for dumb, self-destructive reasons.
Thank you Morris Brown College for reinstating its mask mandate as #COVID rates rise. COVID isn't over and schools and workplaces need to stop being in denial and acting proactively to protect their staff and students. https://katv.com/news/nation-world/mask-mandate-reinstated-at-atlanta-liberal-arts-college-due-to-positive-covid-cases-morris-brown-college-social-distancing-pandemic-georgia-university-mask-mandate-reinstated-at-atlanta-liberal-arts-college
