”With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore"
People on Twitter are saying that might have been an elaborate assassination attempt they disrupted. Fine, I guess!

It is funny to see the FBI people walking in maskless and then a window shot of the USPS guys in N95s,

It is, like, the Democrat thing to chase the votes of a wholly imaginary just-right-of-center voter base who would gladly vote Dem if just one mooooore concession is made.

Democrats are wholly captured by capital. Like, legitimately way more so than the Republican party at this point, since Republicans are still partially beholden to their completely insane base. Everything Democrats do is just an attempt to convince whatever's left of their core voters that they're actually the smart grownups in the room, and that they're not actually selling the country for pocket change.

Constantly chasing the middle-of-the-road voter is the easiest, lowest-effort thing they can do to create a smokescreen for their dogshit policy goals.

Late this morning after a routine test administered twice daily by my concierge physician, I tested positive for sars-cov-2. I am asymptomatic as are 99% of people at this stage of infection and am thankful to have access to monoclonal antibodies that can be administered well within the window of opportunity due to my elite status.

I will be isolating with an army of doctors that will spare no expense to ensure my well being. God bless and vote democrat.

YOU 👏 CAN 👏 LIE 👏

I understand that not everybody can do confrontation but if y’all can’t learn to stand up for yourself to save your own lives because you don’t want to seem pushy or rude you need to learn to lie.

“I’m so excited to be part of the team but I’ll have to skip restaurants, my husband Thoguh is immunocompromised, so I’m always careful to not risk getting anything that’s going around I could bring home.”

“Hey guys, help me out and put these masks on, doc says I can’t risk catching anything post surgery.”

People are being told that it’s insane to wear a mask unless they or someone they know is immunocompromised because we’ve decided that only the most fragile among us should avoid covid. They’re not thinking about you, they’re thinking about their own egos, sidestep their egos by LYING TO THEM. Don’t make it about making them feel judged for being reckless, make it about how you or a loved one needs extra consideration because you/they are in that small unlucky group of people who needs to mask.

Just loving lie to people, it’s really easy. None of these people are going to pay your bills or help you to your shower chair or hold your hand while the doctor takes you off the vent after they give you covid. They are thinking about themselves and how they don’t want anyone else thinking of them as being weak or scared of covid. They are primed to be hostile to healthy people who don’t want covid because acknowledging a healthy person has a reason to avoid covid would make them evaluate their own choices, but they’ve also heard that an unlucky few are allowed to be scared and unless someone is a blood psychopath they are going to put on a mask or let you opt out of that superspreader event so you or your loved one doesn’t die. If you’re worried about questions and you don’t think you can say “That’s the sort of thing I only talk about with my doctors” just research a condition and pretend you or your loved one has it. There is no reason to not lie to people if you can’t assert yourself, there is no reason to get covid from reckless people. My husband is completely non-confrontational so he tells people I’m immunocompromised and no one gives him poo poo about not wanting to catch a virus that would kill his wife. It is totally cool and fine to lie to people about this just for fun if you want but especially if it will help keep you and yours safe.

I did an eVisit about my dry cough and my pcp said they are seeing a lot of people with this along with some white spots in the back of the throat, but they are covid negative. he said it's acute bronchitis, but if it doesn't resolve in the next week to let him know. it's very minor at this point with only a few coughs every several hours.

what the gently caress was the topic of the meeting?? :psyduck:

my sister recently had to raise holy hell over her assistant manager trying to say she's not allowed to mention her wife to customers at work because it's "too controversial" to bring up trans people

The cis gays trying to make the queer group actually be for the benefit of showing how respectable they are to the cishets. I was saying how I fiercely oppose having 'allies' on the goddamn board because it would shift the entire structure to be around their opinions and feelings and would prevent queer people from being able to having meaningful discussions about what we needed to do for ourselves. At this point the 'ally' went into a whole thing about how they really care but they will leave if they're not wanted :( :( :( and the cis gays leaping to reassure him that he was a good boy who everyone wanted there (and by inference, that I was just being an awful trans who didn't understand the REAL situation). That they were immediately proving my point was not lost on the other trans people in the meeting.

One of the cis gays was apologizing for his totally not covid voice, to be more clear.

Don't like the persistent low level infection hypothesis for long COVID at all. It suggests there's a lot of people walking around incurring cumulative damage to various tissues and organs where the virus might be hiding out and slowly replicating. It would be an actual ticking time bomb of disease burden. But persistent infections clearly happen to some people and esp immunocompromised people. Maybe it's just most visible in their cases.

It'd be great if antiviral therapeutics could potentially help, but it's something that needs to be worked out quickly. OTOH giving therapeutics to people that can't entirely clear the virus seems like a good way to select for a therapeutic resistant variant.
