I'm sure I'd feel worse about things if I weren't under such heavy sedation. Read "Global Warming: What's In It For You?" at the link. Also runs @deadhomers

A very brief #Coronavirus thread.

The drunks in line for the bar are adults and certainly deserve their portion of blame for ignoring the warming about the current plague.

At this point, anyone who doesn't know should know. . . . HOWEVA . . . The bulk of the finger pointing needs to go to A) the bar/restaurant owners and B) the local officials who irresponsibly let those places operate under pressure from A).

It's simple: if you allows bars and restaurants to open, people will go.

I’m too lazy and incompetent to put together a coherent best movies of the decade list. I don’t even think it’s a good concept for a list.

But I *have* absentmindedly scrolled through several other people’s dedicated work. And I have some complaints. Some of my complaints are about movies I’ve seen on best of the decade lists, mostly films that were bad when they came out or are already aging horribly.

Other of my complaints are about movies I didn’t see on lists that deserve some end-of-the-2010s attention.

In light of our first Pacific Rim style "double event" massacres yesterday, it's worth stepping back and asking what will solve this accelerating problem?

Because if the underlying problem doesn't get solved, we're going to have a triple event day before too long. Setting aside (briefly) the white supremacy of the redhat auxiliaries who've now targeted black churches, synagogues, and now Latino shoppers, we have to start with the guns.

As in: how do we get them out of the hands of these kinds of dudes?
