Libs are indeed the softest.

"...because of GEORGE W. BUSH!!!"

Here's a thread from a real virologist:

This dude is Seth Abramson, but for Covid. Covid's Cassandra: The Swift, Complicated Rise of Eric Feigl-Ding UNDARK.ORG The scientist has gained popularity as Covid's excitable play-by-play announcer. But some experts want to pull his plug.

Dear god.

Looks cool as a building. But if you think that's a buttplug...

This is really helpful. I was going to skip it unless I found a summary. Now I get to revel in failure and confirm my priors!

To treat cancer you need radiation and chemotherapy, which both weaken and destroy parts of the body. And since McConnell doesn't want to weaken OR destroy ANY parts of the Republican Party, they'll probably take the Steve Jobs approach to this one and do the political equivalent of a fruit juice enema.

Oh wow... So 66% basically means you might still get sick. But you probably won't die if you get the J&J vax, still get covid, and wind up in the hospital. Whereas, otherwise...

What are the odds this snowballs and crashes the stock market?

Ugh SAME. Due to all the Robinhood fuckery though, I think I'm just not going to do anything on their platform.

I've had a Fiesta ST since 2013. I've almost put 100,000 miles on it and it might be my favorite car I've ever owned. Fuck Ford for discontinuing it in the US. Huzzah to the manual hot hatch gang.

Gee, it's almost as if capitalism is based on nonsense.

I like how all of us have hit the argument each from a different and specific direction to point out why each of those pieces were wrong. Great job team.

What you've misunderstood is that the Russian interference was what the Democrats used as the REASON FOR THE OUTCOME. Not that the result of the election was illegitimate and should be reversed.

I'm thinking this isn't going to be included. Because it's an astonishingly bad idea for these specifically.

I saw the "Diane Feinstein" and "87" parts of this thread title and my brain legit thought this was an obituary. Fuck her.

This is something I don't necessarily agree with. Godzilla's relationship to humans is the whole point. Obviously, with 1954's Godzilla, it's most prominent in the form of a fable of man vs. the consequences of the development of the atomic bomb. Even when Godzilla's character transitioned to a more kid-friendly earthly protector, there were still pretty cool messages from time to time. Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster is one of the best movies from the Showa era because it shifts the danger to humanity from atomic energy to pollution. And it showed massive human costs in stark ways. Fast forward to 2016's Shin Godzilla, and it yet again anchors the story of man's (inadequate) response to Godzilla--this time as a natural or nuclear disaster a la Fukushima. Yeah, most of the movies are about fighting space aliens or whatever and the humans are kindof set pieces. But I believe there are flashes of brilliance all throughout Godzilla's run that MUST relate Godzilla to the humans. That's when Godzilla is truly the king.

You gotta start getting that scribble on.

The phrase "the banality of evil" comes to mind.

Why is the NYT the "paper of record" and not the Washington Post--the main paper in the Capital? WaPo has its issues too, but the NYT fucking sucks for as much respect as it has.

One of my favorites from this legend:

This is crazy. I know we came really close, but the gory details being revealed of just how close we came is terrifying. And we aren't FIXING any of it. Trump can run again unless this impeachment takes. There are literally multiple seditionist congressmen. At least 2 senators are in favor of it and worked to push it... and might benefit from it themselves in the future. The doom and gloom we all knew was about at the end of the Trump admin definitely hasn't gone away. And now we're getting a fuller picture of how we almost fucking lost it.
