Believing COVID-mitigation measures "saved no lives" is very obviously very stupid. But you don't need to rely on epidemiology & logic. There's evidence from a natural experiment. Sweden did little mitigation, its peers did more, and deaths per capita were a lot higher in Sweden. https://t.co/sJSTO8iqAq pic.twitter.com/npYOP8QpP7

Just learned that an area Catholic church is holding a midnight mass on 12/24 "For the conversion of the Jewish people that they receive Jesus as their messiah." Y'all, could you stop? I am so tired. Just let us be Jewish.

X : What is web 3.0?
Me : A set of worthwhile experiments being tightly coupled to specific forms of crypto for reasons of greed leading to a dystopian society of excessive control and inequality through decentralisation and "choice" that most will be excluded from.

Forgive me for thinking Trump only promotes the vaccine today because it benefits him and him alone and gives him the thinnest veneer of sanity, something quite marketable to the more middle-of-the-road prospective donors to his campaign. https://t.co/KSekA89y33

1: If I've got to chose between showing human decency to my neighbor and an issue that's a "political loser," there's no choice. My neighbor wins.

2: I'm using 'neighbor' in the Luke 10 sense.

FFS. No, we can blame Trump and Manchin and idiots who won't get vaccinated and Fox News and Rupert Murdoch and the WSJ editorial page. Fuck them all.
