*Sigh* Of course they do.

ETA: It occurs to me to wonder if Abbot is even currently infected by the virus.

That's only one of the things that makes him look weak.

I can't be in a big crowd like that anymore; I get flashbacks from Nuremberg.

I'm sorry about losing your parents. Part of my problem is that I don't know how to truly assess risk. There are so many unknowns. For example, I don't know how protective the vaccine is b/c he has an immuno condition. Most things are under my control but some aren't. And people are so stupid. My father wanted to receive communion so I called the parish and arranged to have it brought to him. While chatting with the deacon who was going to come over, I said I assumed he was vaccinated and he said he wasn't. This is a person whose job it is to bring communion to shut ins, the sick and elderly. I cancelled him. Here, receive the body of Christ and a dose of COVID.

I have no idea what this conversation is even about, because I blocked the OP a while ago. But I always enjoy reading responses that confirm I made the correct choice.

Do these guys actually think that fucking around with children's health is a good look?

Josh Mandel, the annoying little twerp who is leading in the Ohio GOP primary for U.S. Senate, fired back at a journalist asking about mask mandates that they "use children as human shields." WTF is that supposed to even mean?

For some reason, that quote from the LA physician just broke me.

I’m so frustrated & angry & terrified & just plain exhausted. And then I think about what healthcare workers are going through, and how they have it 1000 times worse, and my heart just breaks for them.

They don’t care if it looks bad to rational people. They want Biden to get blamed for the overall fallout, and they are profiting in private. If they gave two tiny shits about children or their futures, would they do even half the things they do as part of their regular agendas?

I … didn’t even know such things existed. So thanks for posting this!

Of course, I’ve been getting all my groceries via curbside pickup or delivery for however long it’s been now, so I currently suck at reducing my carbon footprint. But in the Before Times, I used a fantastic set of reusable grocery bags that all the checkout people LOVED. Seriously, one cashier even asked permission to take a photo so she could order the same ones.
