Pretending COVID isn’t a problem and getting mad at people who take it seriously doesn’t make the virus go away.
Mitigation measures are unpleasant—life was better without a pandemic—but mass quarantines and remote schooling are worse.

Every option in Afghanistan was bad.
I’m more critical of withdrawing than most, and think too many Americans see war as all or nothing, where it’s clear victory or totally pointless.
But we should recognize the choice was, at best, between bad & worse, not between great & awful.

A child under 5 has died of COVID in Florida. Please wear a mask, especially if you’re not vaccinated. It’s a lot less inconvenient that going to a funeral. https://t.co/nIOax4iFEv

While ostensibly about AirTags helping recover a stolen bike, this is a story of how, even for a privileged white male, NYPD doesn’t want to do its job, lacks the know-how to do its job, and has to be cajoled into acting when someone does the entire job for them. https://t.co/MxFBnMxbQb

Stable government is good for business. Culture wars while the power grid fails repeatedly and chases off new employees is bad for business.
