As The Clash sang, different country, different time, still applies today. Tyranny is tyranny. When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun? When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting in death row?

Seriously, Quebec nationalists need to shut the fuck up or get out. We've all had it. Go get your precious independence. Nobody cares. To quote Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction: "And when you're gone, you stay gone".

Maybe, if someone that everyone knows and loves like Phil Collins talks about how Covid has disabled him, maybe then people will believe those of us who continue masking to protect our health conditions, or at least not attack us for it.

When people say, "but what about Congress?!!" This, more than anything else, is proof of why I tell people: What Congress?? There isn't any Congress anymore! There's only WITH Trump, owned by Trump, or powerless to Trump.

Heart Failure Deaths Have Accelerated in US Since Covid Pandemic "The Covid pandemic didn’t just kill people directly. It appears to have accelerated a long-brewing reversal in US heart failure deaths, with mortality climbing faster since 2020 after years of decline, new research shows."

The problem is that the majority of them aren't to be trusted. You're replacing a hole in the boat with a massive fire in the bilge. And they're just as willing to ignore you as the current administration is. ...do not reply to me that only Trump causes harm and abuses power. You'll be blocked.

There have been lots of final straws. Tonnes. This is a HUGE one. But let's not downplay what started happening the moment Musk took over. At this point, any celebrity or person that stays on Twitter (I won't stroke his ego by using its current name) I have less respect for.

Oh my. What's this? Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985): A police officer may use deadly force to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect only if the officer has a good-faith belief that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.

Careful, If you're going to rail against the unlawful invasion and apparent occupation of Venezuela by the US, you can't then defend what Israel is doing to Palestinians. And by supporting Israel, who is supported by Trump, you're supporting what he's done in Venezuela. Yup, principles are a bitch.

I hate fireworks. People need to be made aware of the following: When

This. Listen to this. When we mock something, even just to be funny for light comedy, we minimise the importance behind it. And that's how stereotypes and ignorance are spread like what Jon Stewart did this week. (We're not forgetting,

People are getting so sick with flu that they're not even calling in, just completely passing out for entire days and missing work. This is why you mask, and it's why you don't make fun of people who mask.

Not to mention, New York just reported its highest weekly flu count *ever.* One thing is clear, podcast bros on either side of the political spectrum aren't going to save us. They never were. It's always going to be people quietly doing the right thing, no matter how much shit we take for it.

You know.. We can mock Melania all day for what she is and what she claims to be (despite her blatant lack of interest in the life she's living) but the Christmas book mocking isn't about any of that. It's about her accent. And growing up and having friends now with accents, that mocking's not ok.

Tell me again that wearing a mask is pointless in 2025. And this is just talking about measles. And measles, like RSV, influenza, and Covid, is airborne meaning it is transmitted by breathing in microscopic droplets that sit in static air for up to two hours. Learn. It's practically free.

And the US ain't the only place that has it. Percentages are the same everywhere. "Long coronavirus disease, which affects an estimated 44.69-48.04 million people in the US, is an ongoing public health concern that will persist as SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread."

The Current and Future Burden of Long COVID in the United States - PubMed
The current health and economic burden of long COVID may already exceed that of a number of other chronic diseases and will continue to grow each year as COVID-19 cases increase. This could be a significant drain on businesses, third-party payers, the healthcare system, and society.
