Why do you feel that way, Blaze?

"We can't be sexist / racist / homophobic / any kind of bigot! That's a mundane problem!" Over and over again.

All. Of. This. (via @nephthys0xa.bsky.social)

Naaah, not really. You were horny and did something stupid. We've all been there.

Hi, internet. Whatever your message, scrolling it over a video of you mugging for the camera will not make it more effective. Just thought you might want to know.

They need some government experience first. Maybe Piggy can make them Undersecretaries of War or something.

TIL that "If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize" is not from Voltaire, but from a neo-Nazi named Kevin Strom. I've always thought the line itself is facile. The origin puts it in a different light altogether.

This is my shocked face. You’ve seen it before.

Yeah.

That too.

A somewhat more amusing exchange from my VA visit: "You are Lithuanian. I am Ukrainian. We love our coffee with cream." Stripped of context, that's totally a coded message from a Cold War thriller.

That's awful. I'm sorry.

Peter Thiel's lack of self-awareness is impressive. He'd be executed on the first day of the theocracy he wants.

You can be a friend to the US, or you can be a friend to Trump, but you can't be both.

So I guess I'll keep banging the #vaccination drum. Preaching to the choir, for the most part. But if my words are of any help to anyone, please feel free to use them.

It is #treason, not to the country but to all humanity, and the #traitors should pay the traditional price for that crime. Knowing they won't, unless the enemy to which they adhere does the job, is icing on the rage cake.

Many #government policies have made me angry over the years, and no doubt will for many years to come. None of them have ever summoned quite the same fury as institutionalized #antivax.

In that window, there were #veterans who wanted the covid shot, didn't know they could get it, and died as a result. I have no proof of this, but also no doubt.

The week after that, they were allowed to give both to everybody, but patients (unlike employees) had to ask for the covid shot—the clinic wasn't allowed to offer it. Finally they were authorized to offer both to anyone who walks in.

The tech told me that when the shot clinic first opened for the season, about a month ago, they were only allowed to give #flu shots, not covid. Then after about a week, they were allowed to give both, but covid only to employees.

After all the sturm und drang, getting my #covid #shot from the #VA turned out to be not that difficult. But there's a tragic backstory.

This idea a lot of guys have, that the only reason a man would ever speak up on women's behalf is because he hopes it will get him laid, says a lot more about them than it does about anyone else.

Is there any depravity to which they will not stoop?

Oh, probably. 😐

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all month.

Hopefully.

Pure evil, I tells ya.

Sen. Cassidy says he's "very concerned" about possible hepatitis B vaccine schedule change Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician whose medical practice focused on hepatitis B, said he's "very concerned" about a potential change to the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for infant...

"Thanks, Coach Collins!"

"I hope you're right. I really do."

In fairness, I do blame vaccines for my gray beard and aching knees.
