While the biggest media grifter morons you know are having house parties to show how cool (?) they are:
This is real garbage shit folks Image
Personally if I’d airily spread COVID to half my social circle via boring parties trying to desperately capture some “downtown cool” you were never part of, I wouldn’t be bragging about it
Why delete these cool photos all of a sudden? What says chic New York like.... red solo cups...? Image
Oh, I see some panicked blocking has begun. I didn’t follow this tragic lady on Instagram to begin with. I think she’s not clear how widely these photos have circulated and how supremely disgusting most people find this level of reckless disregard. Enjoy the attention cupcake!
Anyway a good 2021 resolution would attempting to understand how germs work at like a preschool level, in order to not do stuff that will inevitably get some of your more vulnerable neighbors killed. 🙃
Oof someone has a tremendously guilty conscience about those superspreader parties Image
Probably also these vile tweets I would guess? Which several people have emailed me! Image
Anyway I’m gonna have some wine by a fire but please never forget people are always more awful than you’d think. Happy new year y’all

I’m literally a journalist, not that it matters! and I’ll stop “bullying” (publicly and clearly discussing) what you and your tragic friends are doing when it doesn’t have a chance of adding another body to the literally overflowing morgues of the place where I live Image
I barely know who this person is besides someone who does terrible tweets- what does that tell you about these parties? Also girl you’re strong enough to risk your viral load like this but having someone talk about it is bullying? Spare meeeee
What’s interesting is the weirdo artists/creatives (people who made these cities “cool” in the eyes of the soft-handed media whites) aren’t partying, really. They have a shared sense of community. Only some folks are convinced huddling around red Solo cups is worth risking lives.

Another “secret” New Years Eve party in LA, referencing Prohibition, promising masks required (sure), rapid tests (notoriously unreliable) and hand sanitizer, which we all know makes it totally safe to be in a crowded space for as long as you want. Hope it’s worth it, partiers!
On our last episode of “can you people not just open a bottle of wine on the couch for one fucking holiday without experiencing a psychic meltdown:
It is apocalyptically bad here. The numbers are insanely grim. I cannot understand what’s in the psyche of this place that’s causing people to behave this way. You are not immortal and you can get sick no matter how lux the velvet rope on the club is. google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

A couple things about this: here is the request for comment I sent to Mr. Joseph. He did not respond.
I’m extremely sorry to hear he feels this piece was racist, inflected by my own whiteness or “gothness” or otherwise discriminatory. readers can look at it for themselves and decide. However, this wasn’t just an experience about a Black family being uncomfortable in an Airbnb.
He directly, specifically, without talking to the host claimed there were objects used for “satanic rituals” in the house and “ritualistic markings on the floor.” I spend a lot of time covering Qanon and Pizzagate crowds. I cover when these accusations go horribly wrong.

New from me: I got very curious about just how Plandemic went viral. It turns out at least part of the answer lies in an ex-Google employee named Zach Vorhies, who laid out his plan to make Judy Mikovits famous in an unlisted YouTube video from last month. vice.com/en_us/article/…
Vorhie's involvement has been partially reported out; the New York Times noted that he had created a GoFundMe intended to help amplify Mikovits. But the YouTube video lays out his plan to engage YT content creators, and his conviction that this is all part of the Great Awakening.
Vorhies has been involved with the QAnon world since around 2018 and frequently tweets critically about vaccines, including the long-debunked idea that they cause autism. In the unlisted video, he includes graphics falsely claiming that vaccines contain the XMRV retrovirus.

We know that Plandemic is full of pseudoscience, revisionist history and outrageous bullshit- beach sand has healing properties? There’s more COVID in Italy because of dogs? — but we should be both more curious and more worried about why it went viral. vice.com/en_us/article/…
Stuff like this has obviously been circulating for months- conspiracy theorizing, bogus cures - but as more people become desperate for a way out of this, it’s gaining broader appeal. The idea that all we have to do is simply not believe this is an emergency is seductive.
The anti-vax and health freedom worlds are ready to seize on people’s frustration and distrust, their desire to do what feels best for them and stop worrying so much about collective or public health. Consider how excited MMS peddlers were just recently. vice.com/en_us/article/…

The anti-vaccine crowd has evidently decided their persecution can only be expressed in Holocaust metaphors. At a rally in Texas yesterday anti-vax media personality Del Bigtree pinned a yellow star on himself mid-speech.
Have also seen a handful of social media profiles that are yellow stars reading “anti vax.”
The Rockland, NY quarantine on unvaccinated minors to handle a measles outbreak is generating some very intense emotions on that side and conspiracy peddlers like the Health Ranger are swooping in
