the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Retired software weenie/sysadmin. Cuttlefish wannabe.

@dcjohnson You eat fish and Turks? Isn't part of that illegal?

So @Delta updated their statement calling COVID an "ordinary seasonal virus" to "a more manageable respiratory virus" which still fails to recognize that this is not about the virus itself changing--it's about profit and politics.

Not too much giggle-worthy in all this. Treasure it

BREAKING: Russia appoints Juan Guaidó as the Interim President of Ukraine

@dcjohnson I've always wanted to see:
- What does GOP mean?
(My theory is that the Rs get away with shit because a substantial fraction of their misdeeds are attributed to some other shadowy outfit.)

@socialistboomer Allison Gross?
That's Steeleye Span.
Never mind.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

Happy about the trends. Truly. But still crazy to see case, positivity, hospitalization, and death numbers worse than most of the last 2 years, and majority of kids still unvaccinated, but adults (health experts even) all but declaring the pandemic over. 🤯

These kinds of policies are not about public health. They are about politics. They make Covid more dangerous than ever before.

@Bob_Wachter Yes, as a pile of comorbidities, I'm at least as scared as I've been since this horror began.

@dcjohnson The tried and true way: "Wanna eat?"

@HanerTara @DoTheBay That's how you can spot the ex-New Yorkers, regardless of how long they've been here. After 28 years, hearing SF called "the City" still makes me laugh.

@dcjohnson Pay for my trip to Aspen. Pay for my kids' orthodontics. Pay for ...

@dcjohnson Great catch! (I never would have put 2 and #2 together.)

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

As we rethink behaviors in face of possible new threats, a reminder that SF – w/ 78% full vax rate, and sensible mask & other policies since Mar 2020 – has had 672 Covid deaths, 1/3rd the US per capita rate. If US had matched SF, ~500,000 people who died of Covid would be alive.

⚠️“DOMINANT”… a new variant is worrying epidemiologists—called #B11529–it has just “becoming dominant” in South Africa, displacing even #DeltaVariant (HT @MoshabelaMosa). And our other variant #C12 also growing. B11529 has an “awful spike profile” says @PeacockFlu. 🧵 #COVID19

@dcjohnson As though their opinions and votes have anything to do with some kind of POLITICAL geometry. No, their votes are entirely determined by bribes of one form of another, not philosophy.

[Richard Reich @rrrrrichard]

@BadAstronomer ...from the right. You neglected that crucial qualifier. There wouldn't be any jail time if the insurrectionists had been leftists -- they'd have been mowed down before they got to the steps.

[Richard Reich @rrrrrichard]

@thehill Those who predicted that I would go back were correct.

[Richard Reich @rrrrrichard]

@thehill Just went back this week after 14 months. I'll have to stop. This is an insane decision. TJ's attitude toward their customers is not what I thought it was. I don't know if I'll ever go back again.
