THREAD: BRUTAL #COVID TRUTH

With the J&J vaccine now on hold, let's assess:

From day one, both parties have shared the same pandemic strategy, though Dems have vaccinated more people.

1. Make sure billionaires keep minting $$.
2. Sacrifice lives to keep corporations humming.
THREAD: BRUTAL #COVID19 TRUTH

Both parties have made sure to provide as little help to people as possible.

Both parties have agitated for schools to reopen prematurely.

Both parties have sent the public mixed messages.

Both parties have avoided measures for REAL mitigation.
THREAD: BRUTAL #CORONAVIRUS TRUTH

There has always been only one (obvious) way to deal with the pandemic. I've tweeted some version of it since last March.

Here it is again:

THREAD: BRUTAL COVID TRUTH

When your focus is on bailing out Wall Street, and when your true fealty is to the oligarchs who fund you, you'll never do what really needs to be done: STARVE THE VIRUS.

Clearly, vaccines alone won't do that.

THREAD: BRUTAL COVID TRUTH

By all means, vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate.

But don't pretend vaccines alone will stop the GLOBAL pandemic.

Dismissing all supernatural, paranormal, and mystical experiences means you think it's perfectly rational that a universe popped out of nothing/nowhere and we're floating on a blue ball in an impossibly vast space where particles communicate across virtually limitless distances.
Fascinating how so many in the thread are assuming this is about religion.

People realize that supernatural, paranormal, and mystical experiences don't necessarily have ANYTHING to do with organized religion, correct?
I'm honestly baffled at some of the angry reactions to my original tweet.

I'm simply saying that people have inexplicable experiences that are outside the realm of the ordinary.

And to dismiss them doesn't make sense when our very existence is fundamentally inexplicable.

As more people are vaccinated, #COVID19 rates are RISING across the country.

Can someone please explain this?
Let me be CRYSTAL clear: My tweet has nothing to do with questioning or discouraging vaccines, in any way, shape, or form.

My concern is that we've needed numerous other measures to protect people, which the government refuses to do.
I posted this in the first weeks of the pandemic.

Imagine how many lives could have been saved if the government did its job?

i'm so thrilled with biden. he exudes dignity, decency, compassion, kindness, and thoughtfulness. he is so awesome and amazing that I can barely contain myself. biden is the anti-trump. trump is the orange evil man. biden can do no wrong because he's too good to comprehend wrong.
also, i love chess, but i could never imagine playing seven dimensional chess like nancy pelosi. nancy rules. she got under trump's skin so bad. she's just a fabulously brilliant strategist who makes the gop look so horrible and terrible and bad. so bad.
and don't even get me started about obama. he brought so much hope and change that i felt like i was drowning in hope and change. hope and change was everywhere with obama. and he droned those evil terrorists and they'll never hurt our homeland. never ever never.

THREAD - GUITAR GENIUS

There are many talented young guitar players, but I've yet to hear anyone with the depth, creativity, & range of #MatteoMancuso.

Impossibly talented, in his early 20s, this Italian guitarist spans multiple styles with brilliance.

THREAD - GUITAR GENIUS (Matteo Mancuso)

This solo is staggering in its conception and execution:

Here's Matteo playing in Pat Metheny's style, adding his own inimitable twist.

JAZZ APPRECIATION THREAD

Jazz is America's greatest (and most sorely underappreciated) artistic creation.

Here are legends to celebrate during #BlackHistoryMonth.

Start with the most spiritual of geniuses, by the name of Coltrane.

No, not John...

One of the greatest of all tenors...

The incomparable Bobby Hutcherson with one of the most beautiful jazz tunes...

I don't give a damn if Biden wears a Rolex.

I give a damn that he has more than half a dozen sexual harassment allegations and a history of groping girls and women.

The comments in this thread from people who claim to support #MeToo are just ... repulsive.
For those with their heads in the sand:
