Here's another one.
Wen introduced the term "high quality mask" into her lexicon a week ago on December 20 and has been using it frequently since then. That is also the first time she mentions cloth masks as insufficient. Nothing prior to that.
Look at this single screenshot searching for tweets of hers mentioning N95s. Not only is there a huge leap, but look at the bottom tweet lmao!

For once I'd like to see a cancelled leftist decry a pox on their house and their own previous actions instead of bemoaning the fact that they weren't given the benefit of the doubt for their problematic statement because nominally their politics are "correct."
There's no equity in the bank of social justice. You're only as good as your most recent public statement and people in that world accede to outrage authorities instead of deciding for themselves how bad the thing was.
Not to mention an under-discussed aspect of cancel culture: People air personal and professional grievances and jealousy against people under the guise of a social justice pile-on. All your old enemies come out of the woodwork to finally get back at you for their petty reasons.

Lindsay Ellis is literally calling it quits because of that Raya tweet. She has over a million YouTube subscribers and about 9,000 Patrons and her career couldn't survive *one* problematic tweet. That's what operating in that toxic space is like. ImageImageImage
I'd tell her this directly but she blocked me years ago for being critical of her role in doing this type of shit to other people so...

Oh here's Lindsay scolding Tom Scott because a woman in one of his videos made "transphobic posts" years ago that she deleted and he didn't know about. But I guess a lot has happened in the world since *checks tweet date* Saturday. Image

Matrix Resurrections breaks the fourth wall in order to give itself a metatextual hand job.
I’m still only halfway through it but have to make another comment: it is using an embarrassingly large amount of footage from the first three and in wholly uncreative ways. It just cuts to scenes from previous movies as they’re being discussed like it’s a clip show.
Oh I’m taking notes.

I am not exaggerating when I say that my greatest fear this entire pandemic has been "how will I walk my dog if I need to isolate?" Yeah initially there was some "what if I run out of toilet paper" or some other thing I needed, but the dog walking thing has dominated since then.
I'm not saying I haven't been concerned about other stuff, but in terms of my own personal worries - that's still #1. Everything else feels fully surmountable, including the actually being sick part.
Yes. And I'd figure it out if it came to that. I can avoid the lobby and take her out during quiet times of day. My point was specifically that something very random has dominated my concerns.

Time to rewatch the best Christmas movies.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a tragic movie because it's a legitimate masterpiece that you can only watch after having watched the show, which has 8 good episodes and 20 boring ones, including 6 of the Endless 8 arc (I'd keep the first and last and cut the rest).
I return to this specific scene from it all the time:

The biggest crime of vaccine cards is that they aren't wallet-sized.
Oh I guess DC has one of these.
DC people asking: Go here. Put in your info. It'll take you to a portal with your records. Your covid vax status will have a QR code and if you scan it it'll load it into your wallet. Also valid in AZ, LA, MD, MS, WA, WV. app.myirmobile.com/auth/register?…
