@GavinJamesLamb1 True, hard to squeeze all that in a tweet. I still hold that it stands to reason that allowing a virus to spread unchecked among a population is by definition not a strategy to stop its spread.
“Herd immunity” is the percentage of people who must be vaccinated to prevent outbreaks. Allowing a disease to spread unchecked through a population with no immunity is the opposite of this. Surely they mean “natural selection” but don’t like to say so.
Several weeks ago, we mailed 2 envelopes of the same size and weight, on the same day, from the same Greek post office, via registered mail to the US. One is recorded as delivered. The other, sent to the appropriate elections office and containing my voter registration, is not.
@mtaibbi The only way to appropriate my food is to take it off my plate. It’s good to get diversity in food journalism, but scolding white people for stir frying is not the same battle.

@Kafkaesque_Blog I’ll concede that the headband is a bit Barbie, but I just can hardly judge another woman’s existential crisis and the retail that alleviates it, because I bought $200 purple Italian ankle boots at the beginning of lockdown and it was the right thing to do.
@Kafkaesque_Blog It’s like his only experience of a tuna melt is a 16th century account of a native delicacy of “bread sliced fine, thereby mounted by that preserved fish called ‘tu-nah,’ the ‘tomatl’ berry much loved by these people, and cheese held to the fire”
