"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.

Still amazed that my AMA at r/fantasy got 73K visitors. It took me eight hours to answer all the questions. Should I do another when Endlords come out? www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co... #Endlords #JVJones @torbooks @orbitbooksuk.bsky.social @LittleBrown

You know if a Democratic influencer was assassinated under a Democratic President, the right wing would be saying it's a false flag attack.

Vladimir Putin must credit democracy with America's success as he has certainly expended massive efforts to subvert it.

Okay, it's too much bad news and we're just too behind on everything. If you want to help out and buy me a coffee (yeah, it's not going towards coffee (coffee hurts my tum-tum anyway)) that would be great! We're just struggling to get caught up and every little bit will help! ko-fi.com/quenbyolson

How many people realize that if we bring manufacturing jobs back to America in 2025, they will employ robots and not union workers?

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

“And here was the reason human beings could not reject ideas because they were bad: Ideas on Earth were badges of friendship or enmity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendship. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enmity.” (1973)
