  1. Wow, we finally found a Trump scandal that merits the same level of coverage as "Hillary had some sus e-mail security practices"?
  2. A lot of people look at the lack of any policy action after Parkland as the point where we just kinda gave up as a society. I think the speed at which we collectively decided to accept that there was no way to discern any clear motive for the worst mass shooting ever and just kind of move on and no longer discuss it is about on the same level.
  3. Remember all those op-eds that there like, "I know Brett Kavanaugh personally and he's a nice guy who coaches girl's basketball in his spare time" published right before his hearing where he just screamed about the Clintons and beer the whole time. Same shit different day. Just absolutely painful that newspapers continue to publish this shit.
  4. The past few years we've just been having both of our sets of parents over at our place. Just six people, no other extended family. So we might be comfortable doing that. It's gonna depend on what the case numbers look like a month from now, I think. The trajectory the last few days is not encouraging.
  5. Too many people I know will either use Messenger or the events page as the primary way to organize something for me to complete deactivate my account. But I'm trying to make a point to just log in once a day and check my notifications for only those things, so hopefully I'm at least affecting my numbers for how much I'm a "highly engaged user" or whatever.
  6. Some instructive replies here if you click through. Everyone with some version of a Back the Blue avatar or a Punisher avatar or whatever is 100% on the side of the cops and not the reporters despite the fact that they're reporters for a right-leaning website.
  7. Ron DeSantis wants to make it legal for drivers to run over protesters
  8. You may recall this tweet going viral during an argument about gun control Well, Hog wild: U.S. has ‘out of control’ population of ‘super-pigs,’ expert says WWW.WSAV.COM Super-pigs are also able to grow very big — about 75 to 250 pounds on average, the Department of Agriculture says. But they can be twice that size and reach up to three feet in height.
  9. Supposedly the best time to get one to have a good shot at immunity lasting for the duration of the season is right around end of September/start of October, so probably gonna get one next weekend
  10. If you wanted to find a pretext to start doing nullification stuff, you could point to any of Trump's recent quotes that make clear that he doesn't consider anything that happens in a blue state to be the president's responsibility to do something about.
  11. My only gripe is that it seems like a lot of people are trying to drum up money specifically for the McGrath race and not the races that are actually winnable
  12. Apparently Trump's claiming that Oracle's agreed to pay $5 billion into some sort of education fund to pay for the Teach That Slavery Was Good Actually program or whatever that he announced last week. Guessing that this is one of those things that he just kind of invented on the spot and won't actually materialize, but who knows.
  13. Yeah, I'm sure it is true that the highest concentrations are in different areas than in the first wave, but I also think it's plainly true that we're not right on the precipice of getting to a place where the virus no longer has any opportunities to grow anywhere. A lot of people are still trying to cling to the notion that we're right around the corner from getting back to normal, with or without a vaccine.
  14. There's been a theory people have kept floating out there that once you get to about 20% exposure in a given area then herd immunity effects start kicking in because of preexisting cross-immunity of some form or another, and it seems like there are several places now that are really debunking that theory. Florida is persistently at +3,000 cases a day. New York is maybe ticking back up again. In Europe, Spain has been way up again.
  15. Edging closer to the "Pro-Regime Militia Forces Interfere with Election" phase of the decline of U.S. Democracy
