Just to speak up in opposition. Carry on.

Yes.

I've been avoiding businesses here in Florida that do not require masks.

NY21 - Stefanik - My Despicable Congresswoman

When we last visited our upstate NY grifter in chief, Stefanik's hard turn to the racist, Putin-propping right (whether an unveiling of her true persona or a fall into previously absent cravenness) had been secured with her active support of the Big Lie and continued silence on all things COVID.

Re: Covid-19 Numbers

I'll say. If you're not testing to the max, you're missing a significant percentage of cases (last summer/fall, they said cases were 10 to 20 percent higher than the number reported). I follow Florida and NY. It is disturbing to see NY's numbers remaining so high post holiday surge. Also, I admit it...

The Media are the Goddam Problem

Found the time today to check compare ratings for MSNBC, CNN, and Fox. Was happy to see Deadline Whitehouse, which is my only must-see TV, doing well and killing her spot.

Re: New York State Investigations of Trump and Related

Who else is thinking that the reaction on Earth 2 to the former guy being criminally indicted is going to engender the next show of violence in the insurgency?

Makes the push to get TFG to tell the Earth 2ers to get vaccinated look pretty pointless.

Florida has lowered the age requirement to 60 so I just signed up at the state site. Then I went to CVS & Walgreen sites which still say 65. Publix says check the state link for eligibility so I think I'll wait a bit on that one. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a call from the county. Then I only ...

We needed him so much. But not at this price. He crossed the Clinton line, which we now know, and it's time to go. Hamartia as it pertains to dramatic literature was first used by Aristotle in his Poetics. In tragedy, hamartia is commonly understood to refer to the protagonist's error or tragic flaw...
