The Weekend in Foolish Attention
DATELINE: Saturday, January 22, 2022
"It is still my belief that of the people who actually showed up and voted among the people actually that identification tied to their ballot, Donald Trump won this election in a landslide. It is a travesty that the institutions of our government did not hold and ensure we preserved that victory." — Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
The trouble with belief is that it doesn’t require any evidence. Given the overwhelming evidence available that A) Biden won the election, and B) Matt Gaetz is an underwear stain of a human being, I’d suggest his belief is worth less than the collective age of his teenage girlfriends.
Booster shots are instrumental in protecting against Omicron, new C.D.C. data suggest.
Booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines aren’t just preventing infections with the contagious Omicron variant — they’re also keeping infected Americans from ending up in the hospital, according to data published on Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is not an endorsement of vaccine mandates or a replacement for fatties going out an eating a salad and taking a walk or two but it is a bit of good news in a wasteland of despair.
Omegatron is not going to be the last variant as far as the experts tell us and that means those booster shots are at least protecting our most vulnerable from being hospitalized, freeing up beds for those looking for reconstructive surgery. Fake tits and rhinoplasty, motherfuckers!
Tonga’s Devastating Volcanic Eruption Has Left the Island Without Internet
If they can last three weeks without the internet, Tonga will become the only functioning society on the planet.
Mississippi Senate passes bill to ban critical race theory
If, as the Neo-Marxists claim, CRT is decidedly not being taught in public schools, then why does this matter?
House Speaker Philip Gunn and Gov. Tate Reeves have both said they would ban the theory from being taught in schools. Supporters of critical race theory said it’s a misunderstanding of the academic framework, which examines the role racism plays in systems like health care, education and housing.
I’d suggest that they teach about the role racism plays in systems like health care, education and housing without the whole Neo-Marxist “oppressor/oppressed” bullshit and the kids will get a solid understanding of the world without being indoctrinated into a Communist Manifesto.
This weekend, do yourselves a favor or two.
Take a nap. Twenty minutes. That’s it.
Do some sort of physical activity. Nothing nuts but something that requires you getting offa your ass for twenty minutes. Maybe just before your nap.
Question the narrative. That doesn’t mean throw yourself into whole-hog opposition but ask yourself “What if [they’re] wrong about this? How does that change things?”
Stay safe, break a few rules, say something nice to a stranger.
