My doctor prescribed me Paxlovid yesterday, and I'm 2 doses in, and I'm feeling pretty good! I'm sure a part of that is just naturally getting over the infection, but some of it may be from the effects of the antiviral medication. It's pretty neat how it works. My wife is the real MVP though, as she had to call all around town to a pharmacy that actually had it in stock so my doctor could send the prescription in.

Running a train with the Beatles?

We had a mandatory vaccination policy at work. There was a process to get an exemption, but only a few people were actually approved for the exemption. I'm pretty sure they were patient zero for the outbreak at the office last week.

@Commissar SFLUFAN in the office:

I just have a lot of phlegm and a bit of a sore throat. So not terrible.

Agreed. It's pretty incredible how these people only have a spine nearly 2 years after Trump did all of these heinous things. They had the power and momentum to get rid of Trump, especially in the wake of January 6th, but they failed to act. Although I do appreciate they are talking about these events, it's way too late.

Achievement unlocked: After 2 years of dodging COVID (including when my wife and daughter had it last year) I finally got it. I probably contracted it from work, as a few people had it last week. I'll have to WFH for ~10 days.

A former shipmate of mine who is a Trump supporting chuddette is upset that roe is being overturned. Like, what did you expect?

The peoples' Pope

I went down the rabbit hole a bit, and it looks like Cawthorne had (simulated) violent/rough gay sex with a bro of his, all recorded on video. There is a 30 second clip of it circulating on Twitter, and it's a bit uncomfortable to watch.

I'm pro-choice though

This is a sex issue, not a gender issue. Males and Females. Not men and women.

Kamala is the John Madden of politics?

Noooo! We must insist that abortion rights are solely decided by judicial decree, not through legislative action like in pretty much every other democratic country.

Better to go down fighting then pissing all over yourself like a frightened dog!

They could have created legislation sometime in the last 49 years that made it law. Congress is lazy though, and relies on the Supreme Court to legislate for them much of the time.

Right now that's true - but how many years since Roe was decided did the Democrats completely control Congress?

This wouldn't be an issue if Congress had simply made a law that protected abortion rights.

Drones (even cheap civilian versions like that) are game changers when it comes to modern warfare. It's crazy to think that a piece of consumer gadgetry has the power to absolutely devastate lightly armored personnel and vehicles.

I still hope that Musk is just going to pull a Brewster's Millions with Twitter:

CNN, is background noise when you are dusting the house. Whoever thought there might be 29 million super fans of the cable network should probably be jailed for dumbassery.

Twitter is kicking out the bots and they have to go somewhere else

Calm your tits. Both of you!

Yep. Who the F thinks $6 billion would solve hunger? You know that the food/tech that is distributed to these poor areas would just get confiscated by the local governments/warlords, and the people would still be dying of starvation.

It's literally 9/11
