I believe social media is at least as large a threat as climate change.

If you are dead social media cannot monetize you, so they definitely want you alive and clicking.

I do not understand why Russiagaters would like this documentary? If anything it drastically minimizes their entire narrative.

The documentary tries to appeal to regulating…[Read more]

I missed a big family wedding last weekend. First cousins who I adore. No big or public Trumpers on that side of my family, but I did get some crap. Oh well. Most will quickly forget. Send the bride & groom a thoughtful gift and do not worry about it.

If a people are mad at me that is their problem, not mine and there is nothing I can do about it.

I shop at the local co-op but occasionally go into the fancy independent grocery store in town for a couple things. But really!!

Cauliflower Steaks
Watermelon Tenderloins
Pineapple Hearts

Are you friggin kidding me?!? All in plastic clam-shells.

Boiled and shelled hard-boiled eggs! If you cannot boil water, you may want to rethink some shit.

When I get stressed my world becomes much smaller. I have been adding (more) bird feeders around my yard and neighborhood all summer. The quantity of birds visiting every hour especially now is off the charts. It is very rewarding to me. I saw my first flock of Blue Jays ever on Sunday. Yes, they are common and around all year here in Minnesota,…[Read more]

Whether you like Oliver Stone or not, this series is worth the investment. But, it’s quite shocking and does not offer much to feel good about. I started with the modern episodes then went back to watch the earlier ones. This series had a profound impact on my understanding of our country and government.

Trump’s plummeting polls remain higher than US Congress consistent polls.

Gilded win. Again.

I am not a doctor or forensic investigator and my lifetime experience with dwarfs is 99% tv/movies. I think I added that PS because I really do not want it to be a kid, but not sure how that helps.

As long as it does not spread nobody will care. Maybe more celebrity PSA’s?

Sorry if that’s crass but I’ve blown through sad and sarcastic to just pissed.

P.S. that short person does not run like a dwarf 🙁

Nancy was only doing what her new party leader and its donors desire. Even today.

It’s a cheap $50 Walgreens version. It works fine but I get different readings depending on the finger I use. But, like the article says – it’s the trend you should pay attention to not a single reading. I have two docs in my family and they both think it is good peace-of-mind for C19. You may feel like hell with symptoms and want to die, but it…[Read more]

Krebs is hands-down one of the most respected cyber-sleuths in the world.

BUT, Mother Jones just posted this article this morning …

Mike Murphy do-gooder bought the domains to keep them out of RWNJ hands?

If someone got aggressive with me I would pull out my cell phone and get pics or video. If they got really stupid I would consider posting on socials which could indirectly dox them. But, de-escalate and get my shopping done as safely as possible. No amount of reason will influence these cretins. If it persists we can easily switch to the co-op.

I am worried too. The ‘anonymous’ location data they are collecting from smartphones to track movement and isolation is scary. And the new proximity apps they are building. The idea of antibody or serology cards or papers to go back to work is scary. Contact tracing seems both important and scary but I do not know enough about it, need to read…[Read more]

PPE is good for everybody and hopefully most people make their own masks, no shortage of ideas or videos. However, this will drive more people to shop for N95 and other masks on-line and continue to stress the supply-chain for the front line.

All stripes of folks are giving my gov (Walz, MN) grief about 5K weekly test requirement before resuming…[Read more]

but like @njcher says “turning” is beginning to show up in MSM including this local report from Mayo.

Even at home we should consider this for sick folks to avoid hospital visits and potentially ventilators.

I don’t contempt much in life but yes the DNC is top of the list. But the whole system is contemptible nobody has a monopoly. I do not mean just parties but each Branch too. I need to focus on local stuff that I can actually have an impact on. State, County, Township. I always liked Lucy but need to avoid her for a while.

Focus Satan, focus.

I hope none of us or family or friends need ventilators.

One item I intend to reply upon if I get sick is a pulse oximeter. I have a couple cheap ones ($30-$40) that seem to work well. For me it is peace-of-mind. I may have horrible fever, cough, and other symptoms and want to die – but unless my O2 drops below 90 I will probably not go to the…[Read more]
