It doesn't "violate" CDC guidelines to wear a mask outside. The CDC said that you can go without a mask outside (in most circumstances) with relatively minimal risk, not that it's bad or harmful to wear one.
What DOES violate CDC guidelines is not wearing a mask among strangers indoors. But Glenn would never criticize, say, DeSantis's preemption of local mask mandates because he affirmatively supports DeSantis's libertarian nihilism, which after all owns thu libs
Also, as a first approximation the number of people who currently refuse to get a vaccine who would get one if Biden was photographed outdoors without a mask is "zero."

A certain Brazilian SubStack blogger who REALLY wants Ron DeSantis to be the next president of the United States has some hilariously stupid defenses of libertarian responses to COVID-19 in our comments
The my favorite is that because it has a Democratic governor he uses Michigan as a gotcha, while obviously not realizing that Michigan currently has...the same laissez-faire policies he favors, with absolutely disastrous results.
Needless to say, if you compare DeSantis and Abbott to COMPETENT Democratic governors like Brown and Inslee, the results are much worse with death rates more than twice as high, because the libertarian response is in fact bad covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…

One small cheer for Clarence Thomas, who like the other Republican nominees is cruelly wrong on the merits but at least not willing to go along with the bullshit-minimalism of pretending to apply precedents you are obviously overruling
As the Super League dies a quick death, let us take a moment to note that "durrrr, MLB and the NHL should do relegation and promotion, durrrr" is as dumb and ignorant as any take defending the Super League
Yes, let's just put a few of these teams in the NHL every year, I can see absolutely no logistical issues with material impact on league revenues
MLB's annual revenues are nearly double the Premier League's, despite Rob Manfred's best efforts I'm confident the business model will survive without concern trolling from people who don't know anything about the sport sportscasting.com/america-only-h…

Dear Bari: I never thought this would happen to me, but if Jesse Helms had been president we never would have had any of these problems lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/04/dear-b…
If not for Bari's finance bro, where else would we be able to read about Martin Luther King, the uncontroversial figure whose entire career consisted of one speech that contained one sentence, except for every conservative publication that has ever existed?
It's the Chris Rock "you're not racist if you didn't literally shoot Medgar Evers" routine, but unironically:
