the second civil war started on june 30, 2021, when joke account “kilgore trout, dna harvester” accidentally crowdfunded a firefight in south texas
everyone involved in this should go to jail. the billionaire, the governor, the hacks and aides and flunkies who helped it happen
try to imagine mark zuckerburg buying the california national guard to deploy to south dakota & build a data center on top of the governor’s mansion and tell me nobody should go to jail for this
*coughs loudly* might be time for the DOJ to get their hands dirty

every st patrick’s day me and the boys get together to bloody our knuckles on a union jack taped to a heavy bag & piss on photos of cromwell but when someone else holds a grudge? well now they’ve gone too far
very weird to me how anyone can be irish and not understand dragging around a grudge for oh I dunno five hundred years
fuck the IRA but I mean I get where they were coming from because it was drilled into my brain why hey there’s some pretty good reasons. god forbid anybody who had it even worse get the same leeway
I’ve got major problems with the beige trim on the bucks’ court logo. if you’re gonna use a trim this color you’ve gotta go with a darker court color so it pops. just a waste of paint
logo would actually look pretty great with zero trim tbh
anyway this is what I do now that the sixers stuck my head in a toilet. I’m a logo complainer now. when does college football start.
politics absolutely but would be interested to see this plotted against states with strong industry in medical schools & healthcare work. PA infamously has pennsyltucky to contend with but even there you can’t turn over a rock without finding a family member in the field
I run into plenty of anti vaxxing MAGA nuts but even in the reddest counties they’re outnumbered five to one by MAGA nuts who still ran out to get a vaccine because they had a lot of external pressure from family & friends working in a medical field
kinda suspect that is not so much the case in, like, oklahoma
seems that the lab leak debate is broadly missing by a mile on factoring in a critical element. whether covid emerged entirely organically or through some choose-your-own-adventure human containment error, in either hypothetical, china’s behavior will be indistinguishable
if it’s entirely organic: they’ll cover it up
if it’s accidental release: they’ll cover it up
if it’s malicious intent: they’ll cover it up
the good faith theories all recognize this dynamic but the bad faith ones use the cover-up behavior as evidence, when it is in fact just evidence of china being china and not any indicator of which scenario played out
pretty sure the failure to level the appropriate personal economic cost for not getting vaccinated is the bigger threat than whatever variant we’re worried about today
