White cis het GenX male--but don't hold it against me. Friend to all but the willfully uninformed.

The hell the US is going through? The pain, the terror? I see it. Am experiencing it. Plus I've got cancer. Cut me some f'ing slack.

Oh, and mask up.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Oh I see Zickgraf wrote the “Covid conscious people are crazy” article he’s been threatening. Happy Thanksgiving Ryan, this year thanks to long Covid-caused MCAS, my Thanksgiving feast will be a plain baked sweet potato. Hope yours is tinged with the seasoning of being a horrible person.
I don’t know, I thought after Long Covid effectively ended my chance at a directing career, ruined my health, my energy, my ability to eat a lot of foods, and my body, it would seem pretty obvious why I don’t want to get it again, even going so far as to sacrifice (the horror!) bars and restaurants.

As an educator, I am hoping universities and K-12 (and local equivalents) start marketing themselves AI-free. "Teachers and students both take a pledge not to use it in courses, and use of it will have consequences" will become a selling point.
