Thank you. I got really angry at that family member. Somehow these full-screen garbage memes, one after the other, a one-line break in between of condolence, just seemed so offensive. I got over it.

I just hate that people accept these memes without any skepticism or doubt, a moment of consideration; they don't even comment with an up or down, they just spread the shit. It would be nice to block the originators, but as long as people enjoy spreading spoonfed garbage, it won't matter.

Fine, I had no reactions. They wanted me to document my temp and any site reactions for the 1st 4 days, now it's exception charting. I go back to see them in a month, and then phone contacts. It's a 3 year study, and I may have gotten a placebo.

Though I remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, I better remember hearing their music everywhere. It was inescapable, and nobody yet wanted to escape.

What I really remember was The Who on the Smothers Brothers, with the insane explosion at the end of “My Generation.” I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. My parents were appalled, and that sliver of differentiation between me and my folks widened. It was one of the first times I realized they didn’t get it.

Additionally, I wanted to learn to play the bass after seeing John Entwhistle play those dive-bombing runs. I think that lasted all of 15 to 20 minutes.

IIRC the Mark of the Beast® is worn either on their hand or their forehead. Do we know any group of people who wear a sign on their forehead to mark their affiliation?

This is true. My folks are good boomers, and my dad wants to destroy the AARP. But jesus christ, it's hard to not look at that generation, when so many constantly scream "MILLENIALLS" (with zero logic or reasoning) and get angry with a fire.

Thanks for posting that.I've always been annoyed to be considered a "boomer", The defining moments of boomer-hood, Elvis Presley and The Beatles playing on Ed Sullivan happened: 1. before I was born and 2. when I was six years old and more interested in Topo Gigio or the plate-spinner guy.

Indiana's head of vaccination in the state health administration just got fired for pointing that out.

Because part of the collateral damage would be to their bank account.

Don't forget that anti-vax liars can report a death from the vaccine in VAERS with no consequences.

Tucker Carlson already has a warning label on his forehead.

It's called his face.

No love for the fair, albeit shouty, Kimberly Guilfoyle?

OK, yeah, get your point.

So is the solution more guns or too soon?

If Trump told them to, they would all have lined up to swallow fish-tank chemicals washed down with bleach.
