People are flushing toilets fifteen times you say? Interesting. I don’t know anyone who does that. Do you?
I wonder if it’s not a widespread problem but rather something you’re doing wrong? Just a thought.
This tweet from four days ago looks even more insightful now.
FWIW, Trump's strange riff about flushing toilets "10 or 15 times" occurred on Dec 6, 2019...THE DAY AFTER Nancy Pelosi announced the House would move forward with articles of impeachment.
Rumor has it that Trump is working on a memoir of his childhood in Queens entitled "Flushing on my mind."

Today I learned that in 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono provided the funding for a newsletter published by left wing conspiracy theorist Mae Brussel. Image

Ah yes, you mean like during rush hour in DC when people are walking a few blocks from their crowded metro trains to get to their crowded offices? William of Occam wept.
The good faith DC explainer, hard at work.
"Obsessive, bad faith pathologizing of easily explainable behavior" could be considered a form of "explaining," I guess.

The CDC website has this interesting data about levels of Covid 19 detected in wastewater. The data is very scattershot (none from Oregon, from what I can tell). Just speaking as an interested citizen, but shouldn't we be investing more resources in this? covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
Again, not an expert, just a citizen, but it strikes me that this sort of data would offer us a much more accurate and easily attainable picture of the rate of community spread in specific places at specific times. What a great risk management tool for individuals.
For example, let's say I work as a cashier at a supermarket and I see that levels of Covid 19 in that community have suddenly spiked upward. I might then decide to upgrade my masking on the basis of that information.

Saying an institution“is the Harvard of the ____” is going to carry quite a different meaning in the future, I predict.
The Weinstein Company was the Harvard of film studios, for example.
Fox News under Roger Ailes was the Harvard of 24 hour news stations.

There are about 470 House and Senate seats up for grabs and there are over 7300 state legislator seats total in the US, many of which are elected in even years like 2022. That doesn’t count other “local” elected positions. So, 40 you say? In the whole country?
The GOP chose to drive black voters away 58 years ago and have yet to make any meaningful effort to reverse that. Not sure that tweet is gonna do it.
I’ll let Jackie Robinson, a lifelong Republican, have the last word.

One part of Rogan's impact on American society that I haven't seen mentioned much is the key role he played early on in helping the Proud Boys promote themselves using his platform. Spotify has removed his interviews with PB founder McInnes, like they have with the n-word.
Screen shot is from this article. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
Let's go to the tape.
