For the record, it's stupid. They should not stop publishing kids books.

I haven't seen the material in question, but I have seen Dr. Suess's wartime political cartoons, and in principle I think this is fine. If there would be backlash if you drew it today and put it on twitter, we probably don't need to give it to little kids with zero context or capability of understanding the context.

I got my first shot. it was the Moderna one.

My arm felt like someone took a baseball bat to it for about 36 hours, and I felt groggy for a day after, but was fine the 2nd day. everyone has told me the 2nd shot is worse. I get that in 3 more weeks. I guess the second one is the one that puts a 5G Microchip in my veins so the government can subject me to Chicom Mind Control. As opposed to US government mind control. I'm real excited.

anybody else get one?

I've heard some pretty hilarious anti-vaxx stories from friends around here. a few weeks back (during that bad cold snap), a friend apparently asked one of her other acquaintances if they had signed up to get a shot yet, and got some angry response back, followed up by an email telling her to collect all the snow from the back yard and "burn it" because it was all sent to the US by a Chinese weather machine.

I don't know how you burn snow... it just melts into water. I just...

Not yet. I haven't hit the age limit yet. I think they are still at 60 or 65

I guess different states have different supplies. When I went (grocery store pharmacy) most of the other people in line looked well under 65, and there wasn't any age limit to register

We're opening up tiers according to certain careers and health conditions and not just age now. I'm higher on the list than my wife due to work and I can't sign up yet.

Saw a tweet claiming that 2020 was the first year since 1947 where 1% of the US died.

I saw that one too. Seems like no big deal.

Just a bunch of dead Americans. People die all the time, dude. What are we supposed to do?

Way less of a big deal than four (4) Americans dead in BENGHAZI.

WHERES THE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT HUH? WHEN ARE THEY GOJNG TO INGESTIGATE THE CLINTONS AND OBAMA?

 

[Gulo Blue]

Maybe doctors had financial incentives to decide times of death were in 2020.

Yep, you just know the powers that be love to publicly make themselves look worse, both at home and abroad, by exaggerating the number of Americans who die in a pandemic, making it far worse than other nations, both on a per capita basis and in terms or raw numbers.

don't you remember that time he posted a vid where he just read off a cue card: "I'm a fat, loud-mouth idiot who should not be on the air, I am a chronic liar who's constantly losing in court, I was a bad husband and a lousy father, and the health supplements I sell on this show don't work. I'm constantly amazed that so many Americans keep falling for this act, when it's basically just a 19th century snake-oil routine, updated for the 21st century."

Actually this has pretty much been his legal defense every time he?s been sued - ?it?s not my fault so many people are so stupid.?

he's right, trying to say one person is responsible for all the stupid humans in the world is insane. How would you explain AOC, Bernie Sanders and their supporters - there's no way that collective stupidity could be pinned on Alex Jones.

a while ago, Thumb had a good quote from old Abe Lincoln in his profile that you shouldn't trust everything you read on the internet. I've taken it to heart.

served me well while reading Trump's tweets
