I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Missed this yesterday. GiP favorite Derek Lowe thinks that the Pfizer press release can be trusted (Fauci was saying so too), so that's a positive.

I trust his opinion. What I'm having more of a problem with are the special storage and administration guidelines for this vaccine. There will be no way for patients to know if they're getting the vaccine administered during the "golden day" or if they're being given compromised vaccine that's being administered outside its efficacy window.

Relax. Any vaccine distributed in the US is going to be reprocessed toilet water to maximize the profit of whatever Sackler owned company is churning it out.

My stoic corn farmer of a grandad who grew up through the depression and WW2 says this is probably the hardest year he's ever seen. That's gone a long way towards making it easier for me to be okay with not being okay at times.

Dude is trying to pull a Ferris Bueller without being good at it.

On one end, it's Dean Browning and a sockpuppet account, and some cash on fiverr to cover for him, on the other, it's actually a black dude with amazingly racist opinions about black people, with a solid amount of misogyny thrown in.

Given you can pay what's probably a trivial amount of money for a congresscritter to have professional astroturfing done by Russian bot farms or however it's done, it's even more hilarious how low-tech this attempt was.

Australian politicians do it both ways - the neoliberal types use the bot farms and the RW fringe idiots keep getting caught out Fort Bragging themselves. It's wonderful.

One of my close friends who is super upbeat and a literal rocket scientist has repeatedly called me up to talk about feeling depressed and unproductive. I think that if this year isn't a little bit upsetting to you at this point, you are definitely abnormal.

Despite working from home 4-5 days a week in my study that houses all of my music gear, I think I've gone from playing twice a week to maybe once a month. Just no motivation to do anything other than work, drink and aimlessly scroll while not watching tv - and I live in a place that has functionally eliminated the virus and never had community transmission to start with.

I can't imagine what it's like over there.

I mean, I'm just a PhD who has dabbled in mil-civ affairs in a historical context but: removing the civilian leadership and replacing it with loyalists more likely to do your bidding when you decide it's time to start using the military to quash any protests against you SEEMS like it would be ripe for people in the military to figure out where their loyalties lie.

Gonna hop off for a bit for mental health but I worry about how to walk the very fine line between: trump is having a toddler's meltdown, ignore him, and we should really be taking the sudden unrestrained transformation of very important departments seriously as it's a prelude to some really bad poo poo.

Because if we are wrong in one direction it can go real bad real quick.
