We had The Thing, Which Was Replaced by a Thing, But Now Another Thing Is The Thing
Lotta things........
Let’s reflect for a moment. It was 2 years of Covid, then 2 months of Ukraine, and now it looks like it’s gonna be months (how long?) of A-word (I won’t write it, it’s just a hot button for searches, etc). Smart ass people like to say “you know people can walk and chew gum at the same time!” but in reality people can only focus on 1 maybe 1.5 things at a time with any real zeal. So the next few months will suck.
I have a few Sars2 items and then I guess for history’s sake I will throw some hot takes about the A-word down for posterity. What a time to be alive.
Sars2 Information That’s Important
In a way it’s good this is falling further out of mind. It simply must so society can move forward. Still, data, information, and actual science must always be followed. And this month the FDA gets ready to approve vaccines for kids under age 6, which is so dumb it cannot be defended. So there is that.
I had no seen this user before, but this thread by Jikkyleaks tackles the booster angle, and by end we see based on UK data a booster for over age 60 does not seem to be adding any value at all compared to unboosted as far a deaths go. The writer notes a certain data set is needed to be sure, but the UK has not agreed to release it. Hmmmm.
The Senate voted to dump Biden’s masking rule for toddlers in the “Head Start” program. Will it get a vote in the House? Doubt it:
Masks still don’t work in the real world. Boring I know, but some still cling to this:
The New Thing
I got all the best takes on Twitter, so buckle up!
Here we have ALL THE THINGS!!!!!! Well done:
Having a vegetable as President can be problematic at times, and now is one of them. One of MANY Biden gaffes today:
Oh no!!! Not the whims!!!
Is making military members and all Federal Government employees, as well as going through OSHA to force a vaccine on all people that does not stop transmission radical Joe? Is that radical? Or no? What a clown:
Oh Kamala? The Government interfering in a personal life? You don’t say! Lime making someone take, oh I dunno, a vaccine they don’t want or need? We see you, it’s all so twisted:
Wow!!! This writer takes a blowtorch to the broken logic of all this and then sets it all on fire. Love this hot take!!!! Read it all, click over:
Horse drugs are now cool guys!!! My how it all flips!:
There’s too many more, I can’t.
Good luck all, it’s gonna get gross.
Cultural Corner
This is amazing and after some searching these sorts of rings were somewhat common in the old days as an astronomical cheat sheet. Of course today you can buy cheap reproductions, but the artistry here is cool:
Have a good night.
