a uniquely disturbing outgrowth of the alternate reality fueled right wing ecosystem is it is legitimately a coin toss whether you’re dealing with a person who has serious mental illness or dealing with a mentally well person aping lunacy to climb the ladder
it used to be if you had a guy who, all in the span of 30 days, had screamed about a mcdonald’s fish sandwich, lost it over a german shepard being too dirty, and postulated a mars landing was faked, you knew what you were dealing with
guy has over a quarter million followers and a tv show the former president gets his information from and I defy you to decide whether he has cat food for brains or is just working the angle

absolutely mind boggling to watch texas freeze out and think about all the shit texas elected officials spent their time on the last couple months. restricting voting rights. filing insurrection lawsuits. mandating sporting event music. freaking out over who uses bathrooms.
I will happily grant you california & new york have extremely dysfunctional bizarro governments but man they don’t have dick all compared to texas
also why did greg abbott and ted cruz and john cornyn apparently implement the green new deal in total secrecy and cripple texas’s energy grid unbeknownst to all until just now
joke’s on you suckers, we went with the cheap non-winterization package on all our valves and instrumentation to own the cons
fox news deserves all the shit it gets for helping to brainwash half the country into thinking covid is a hoax but let’s not pretend there isn’t also a bizarro market for horribly backwards covid doom porn
these “a tiny number of covid vaccine recipients got covid” headlines are a known entity at this point and posting them anyway is a real choice
you can’t take the cheap out and say “this is why people stop listening to science” because those people will take any excuse they can find to stop listening regardless of these headlines but you can say these headlines are like shooting science in the back
they can’t even be bothered to throw a hat tip to propriety and collude with the defense in the shadows. if they want to collude in broad daylight throw their asses out of the final vote counts.
they should be barred from any participation as well. if they want to show up and put their feet on the desks who cares but they’re non-entities.
hearing rumors the investors behind parler have “had it up to here with cancel culture” and are “gonna make our own mandalorian”
the sourcing is thin on this but I have it on good authority the series will be named “kava dume: intergalactic JAQ sheriff” streaming this fall on mercer plus
the franchise will be set in a universe “a long long time ago in a galaxy where speech is free and asking questions about the jewish globalists who control us is healthy dialogue”
nothing wrong with understanding worst case scenarios and encouraging people to look out for the welfare of others, and we should all do our part, but doom prognostication will never go out of style and it’s fine to say huh this doesn’t logically add up
this is where I say everyone should wear masks and not be assholes and wreck it for everyone but I also think the covid variant doomsaying is understudied and overwrought. some of it is well meaning & earnest, & some of it is just capitalizing on the high of freaking people out
