i am moving to bluesky in 2025.
i'll still do a daily tweet here, but
i'm gonna make this my pinned tweet
so i'll log off here and go there.

@DailyJLee restaurant and bar owners were
against early mitigation efforts.
now their customers have no sense of taste
and a lowered alcohol tolerance.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@michael_hoerger it is a cognitive error to ascribe this as
"a cognitive error"
when it is a deliberate strategy
to minimize and obscure the danger of covid.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee @AdamTsuris "almost impossible to answer" isn't good enough
for the m'n'o crowd (minimizers and obscurers).
they won't stop until it's fully impossible.

@chelseacuzzocr4 @DailyJLee masking is a strategy requiring
mass adoption to work best.
so is denial.
society cannot have it both ways.
this society is choosing denial.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee it's the biggest reason for their a.i. desperation.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee well, they smell really bad if you don't haul 'em away.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee the denial we've seem so far is minor-league.
75% of the folks who've had covid "4 or 5 times"
can explain away the health issues they have.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee once folks are dying, everybody will blame everyone.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee can't protect people who won't protect themselves.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee one of the more curious things was seeing those
tv commercials highlighting rsv when we know
darn well covid is more common and more deadly.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@BirdieBittern she is ensconced in the elites,
so her financial future is ensured,
no matter what happens with her voice.
she could retire comfortably now.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee if the response has to "come from the people",
there will be no response, and you know it.
the job is to protect yourself when others don't.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@TopherSpiro a family of four with an annual income of $130k?
maybe they'll get some empathy for the single mom
pleading for a raise of the minimum wage?

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@BirdieBittern @TMZ "plane crash" in a headline is too sensationalistic.
we need specification whether it's a "private plane"
or a "commercial passenger plane".

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@1goodtern and the people on the side without water will die.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DcrInYYC the easiest way to grab a load of money to
build a fortune is to find ways to collect cash
while simultaneously offloading costs to society.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@1goodtern we'll all learn how to say "kaposi sarcoma".

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DailyJLee it made me wonder about mortality numbers.
a 15% infection rate would not cause enough deaths
that it would have to be immediately apparent.

[bowerbird @bbirdiman]

@DcrInYYC @1goodtern every drug-pusher knows that if they can
make the user dependent on the product,
the revenue stream will be bigger and
much more dependable.
