Just realized I was basically head-banging to the O Fortuna from Carmina Burana and I'm wondering how my life has ended up like this

no, not "every show is gay now," we've just been programmed to think two queers in the same series is one too many

The fawning Bezos coverage should be used as material in a journalism class one day. Whew. What a total embarrassment.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Listen, I’m all for space exploration and it must have been an amazing view.

But maybe – and I’m just spitballing here – if Amazon and other companies paid their fair share in taxes, we could lift all kids — if not into space — at least out of poverty.

Sincerely,

Earthlings

Get your damn vaccines people

COVID cases have shot up almost 70% in a week in the U.S. It's been significantly higher in some Southern states. Unvaccinated Americans are the hardest hit, accounting for more than 95% of hospitalizations. (From @NewsHour) https://t.co/AE7UsTt9mm

L: Paul Hodgkins has been sentenced to eight months in prison for his participation in the attack on the Capitol and attempted insurrection.

R: Hervis Rogers is facing up to 20 years in prison for allegedly voting—after waiting six hours in line to do so—before his parole ended.

How can we afford the budget reconciliation package, you ask? Oh, I don’t know…how about we tax the billionaires, who have gotten $1.8 trillion richer during the pandemic alone?

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

There are 50 states in the United States but only one accounts for over 20 percent of covid-19 cases nationwide.

That would be Florida and Ron Desantis is to blame. Vote him out.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Polio and smallpox never reached natural herd immunity. They were eradicated by vaccines.

Joel Osteen got $4.4 million in forgivable PPP loans

Pays nothing in taxes

Drives a $325,000 Ferrari

Closed the doors of his church to those in need after a hurricane

You’re a false prophet who reaps false profits @JoelOsteen

The problem with the phrase, "the pandemic of the unvaccinated," is that it obscures the fact that such a pandemic threatens others: kids, who don't yet have a chance to be vaccinated, and everyone else, insofar as it keeps the virus alive and well and developing variants.

[Myrna Tellingheusen @PearlsFromMyrna]

Oh for crying out loud. Get vaccinated.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The Delta variant is pretty much exactly the thing we were hoping wouldn't happen.

But it did.

Hoping for the best doesn't usually work out in the control of Infectious diseases....

We have a teacher shortage because we have shorted teachers.
