Since last night I've seen basically two responses to tRumps diagnosis among liberals: A) Attempt to take the high road and wish him a quick recovery, and B) Declare that he deserved to get COVID and that he also deserves to die from it.
1 The truth is that each response is based in personality traits that emerged as humans evolved from our primate ancestors during the Pleistocene, and were able to flourish by developing the ability cooperate via selection for altruism over self-interest.

For all the people who are surprised about the tRump voter-suppression operation being covered here, this started to come out in 2017, and guess what - *it's still happening*. So let's take a walk down memory lane.
Way back in the summer of 2015 we learned that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz had partnered with "little-known company" owned by his largest donor to do psychographic micro-targeting.

We are powerful and we will defeat the sociopaths. Do not be discouraged. I said a long time ago that our current political situation would not be solved politically, and I still believe this. Her death is only devastating if you consider anything that has happened since 2016 legitimate.

As someone who is half Cuban and has visited Cuba many times, I think I'm qualified to explain this.
Just like the US south, Cuba had a plantation economy built on slavery. Cuba has always been racially stratified, with light-skinned Spaniards at the top.
1 When Castro came to power in 1959, the families that fled to the US were for the most part the island's social and economic elites: landowners, wealthy businessmen, members of the political class, socialites. In other words, *white people*.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote powerful poetry in the buttoned-down 1950s that is just as (if not more) salient today. Here's another:

If you would be a poet, create works capable of answering the challenge of

apocalyptic times, even if this meaning sounds apocalyptic.

You are Whitman, you are Poe, you are Mark Twain, you are Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay, ...

So this is the AQI in San Francisco right now. I took my dog out a little while ago and my eyes started burning from the smoke. It smells like sitting next to a giant bonfire.

California's reliance on slave labor (prisoners) to fight wildfires has come back to bite it in the ass.
1/ The CA Department of Corrections began using prisoner labor to fight fires during WWII, when the ranks of CA Division of Forestry was largely depleted due to military enlistment.

This is true. We're in this for the long haul; policing activities that have proven to be low risk is counterproductive. All evidence points to *indoor* activities such as going to restaurants and bars are highest risk, especially when masks aren't worn. 1/ In a paper posted to medRxiv on April 7th, Chinese researchers looked at 318 COVID-19 outbreaks in Jan/Feb outside Hubei province, only *one*- involving 2 cases - happened outdoors. All outbreaks involving 3+ cases occurred indoors. 2/

Honestly, this would be a great opportunity for some cosplay squads to strut their stuff. Honestly, I think @KamuiCosplay might need to do her next build tutorial on futuristic dystopian law enforcement (i.e. Atlanta Police). She could definitely improve the look. They're obviously trying to look imposing and forceful, but the execution is a bit clunky.

My guess: Atria (aka Phillip Morris) realized the game is up in US, and will now focus on addicting teens in countries with more lax regulation, just as they did with cigarettes.

Said Putin with a sh*t-eating grin.

For those not up to speed on Russia's role in North Korea's nuclear program, it's worthwhile to take a short stroll down memory lane ... The reason North Korea has been able to advance its nuclear capabilities to the extent that it is now perceived as a global threat (rather than the butt of Taepo Dong jokes), is because Russia helped them.
