We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.

It’s funny because he sucks so bad at all of this that he clearly starts out trying to say “we are doing this so that they *won’t* take out Los Angeles,” but halfway through saying it, since his brain is mush, it turns into “fuck Los Angeles.”

Of course. The Supreme Court kicked off its new term today by hearing oil companies’ attempt to throw out a lawsuit seeking to make them pay for climate damage they caused. The outcome could determine whether similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties across the country can move forward.
