@cwarzel Unconcious suicidal ideation? Nostalgia?
@cwarzel I go back to when I started to sketch an idea of this virus with my mind's eye. I told a good friend "This thing isn't going away. Nothing is going back to the way it was."

"Eh," he said. "I didn't really like the way it was."
@cwarzel He was one of those musicians that played large street festivals in Chicago.
@cwarzel He later told me somethin to the effect of, "Music is going to become more 'boutique,' smaller groups, more recording, less performing."

@cwarzel Unlike the status quo media, the working class is AHEAD of you guys. One of the first things my neighbor told me last year was, "They're trying to kill us." Your papers don't know where the pulse is because it has escaped you.
@cwarzel The beneficiaries of this depraved world system are the only fuckin people itching for the wine bar, a concert or show at the cinema because they really never cared about the experiences of the people who made all that possible in the first place.
@cwarzel The parents who can afford a Montessori school for their prince are the only people peddling anti-science and anti-union tripe under the rubric of progress to stuff the maximum number of young bodies from broken homes into a confined space.
@cwarzel East Coast Liberal rags like the New Yorker are busy distorting the truth and engaging in a journalism of omission that's pushing the working class into the waiting arms of conspiracy theorists who are brainwashing them. Your employer, for example.
@cwarzel But we've lost all respect for figures of authority because since last year, it has become clear that your authority is baseless and without merit.
@cwarzel Capital isn't interested in independent thought. They want obedient, little sycophants to line their ducks in a row.
@cwarzel @threadreaderapp unroll please. Thanks, bud.

@mehdirhasan It's here to stay, bro. The virus is toying with us the way a cat plays with a mouse before it rips its throat open. Every two weeks, each host produces a de novo mutation. That's a very high rate of mutation.
@mehdirhasan See: encapsidated RTC.
@mehdirhasan A LOT more people will die over time. It's the Great Threshing of Humankind.

The best part of verbally attacking prominent journalists on social media is that they'll never launch a counter-attack because they're terrified at the prospect of more people reading my writing.
This should never be taken as an endorsement to do them any physical harm, but when someone cavalierly toys with children's lives, turning them into pawns in a game of chess, my empathy falls flat.
If I were their editor, I would have told @DKThomp, @jonathanchait, @mattbai, @BenjaminLinas and @ProfEmilyOster to take their manuscripts and leave them on top of the shitter for wiping.

@jonathanchait You're a charter school advocate pushing anti-science and anti-union rhetoric under the rubric of progress.
@jonathanchait Just wait, bud. I'm fearless.
@jonathanchait See, I don't care if I'm paid. I do what I do on principle.

Two days in a row @Twitter has slapped me on the wrist for public health advocacy. Apparently, calling someone a fascist for spreading the same lies that lead to half a million dead Americans is frowned upon on their platform. Fair warning.
But if you quote a film from 1977 and call @mattgaetz a "short eyes freak," @Twitter could care less.
I must have called @mattgaetz a "short eyes freak" in upwards of 100 posts with no repercussions, but calling out overpaid "journalists" for spreading anti-science and anti-union hit pieces is no bueno on @Twitter.

@williamrblack @lionel_trolling Insects offer a renewable source of protein that can be easily farmed and harvested. They produce far less methane gas than large bovines and are highly nutritional. They also feed on refuse, filling a critical role in large-form sustainable design.
@williamrblack @lionel_trolling I too am adverse to eating them, but they could be pulverized into granules, so we could make patties out of em . . . 🤷‍♂️
@williamrblack @lionel_trolling The issue is that there are places on Earth where there are just too many people for the land to support. There are entire countries in Africa that need water imported because they have none. That's been true with regard to food for a long time.

@WalkerBragman I keep returning to the differences between Measles and COVID, and the biggest difference I can see besides their symptoms is the type of virus. Otherwise, they're both single strand RNA viruses, the most transmissible of all viruses.
@WalkerBragman Both Influenza and COVID are coronaviruses, we've yet to reach herd immunity with Influenza and COVID is about 13 times more infectious than COVID. Am I missing something? The headlines in Brazil read "COLAPSO!"
@WalkerBragman Is there a metric for adaptability or evolutionary capacity that's not being measured?
