@Cernovich One of my favorites as a kid, too. Still a fave. The TV Land, Nick-at-Nite shows were the bulk of what I watched as a kid. The quality transcends age demos. Language barriers too. My grandparents couldn’t speak or understand much English but loved them as well.

Infuriating! So many of us could see the writing on the wall years ago! We were screaming about how devastating these policies would be for developing minds. All they cared about was saving the grandmas. It’s like there was an active attempt to create a generation of sociopaths.

How is “societal good” still considered a valid point when we now know vaccines don’t stop societal transmission or individual infection? I’m gonna need him to hit refresh on his rhetoric.
En-fucking-raging.
