#cdcsays Wanna wear a mask? Go ahead. Wanna whine about us? Be our guest. We can only make recommendations. We can’t force anyone to do anything. People are going to do whatever they want. Get over yourselves.

#cdcsays criticize things you know almost nothing about.

My ilk?🤔 You may be surprised by my relationships with black women. Judging from your posts for the last several hours I would refer to you as an angry person. Gender and skin color have nothing to do with it. I think social media can be dangerous for mental health. Plenty of statistics to back that up. Walk away from your computer or drop the phone, take a walk outside. It’s a beautiful world out there. You’re only hurting yourself.

I’m not angry and reactionary either.

Why should I worry about the future when the apocalypse is nigh?

The CDC is a scientific organization sucked into Covid politics by small, ignorant people. The CDC was founded in 1946. Read the history. Understand what they have been doing for the last 75 years. Along with the National Institutes for Health, the CDC has played an enormous role in advancing global health. The last thing intelligent scientists want to do is be political. Please reconsider your disparagement of good people, wanting to do their job well.

Just because.

It’s like we’ve turned on a lightbulb to see a distorted version of things that are 1000 miles away, but live in complete darkness to the things that are right in front of our eyes.

It’s not that I hate America. I absolutely LOVE the IDEA of America. I just hate the idiots that inhabit the territory but are too stupid to understand the IDEA of America.

Which one will be bringing the snacks?

If you contribute to a 401k at work, chances are you’re an indirect shareholder of Tesla. Teslas board was just dinged in a shareholder lawsuit for their fiduciary irresponsibility in giving Musk an incredibly unwarranted pay package ($55B). Now I like drugs like the next guy, but I’m not a CEO. Will a shareholder sue Teslas board for Musk’s irresponsible drug use? 🤞

“Pray for rain” is a good one...when there’s a drought. No drought? “Water the lawn”.

I realized today that I’ve barely digested an ounce of the gallon of the cultural and biological trauma that was Covid. And it’s truly not over yet. I’m also realizing that I need to pay attention to things around me. The sun on my face. The pictures in the museum. The music and the food. I’m transfixed by the ants marching on the ground. Gesturing at one another and little concerned with global warming, the next election or the next act of performance terrorism.

“This embarrassment of riches reveals priorities grossly out of order — disabled travelers are forced to hand over their mobility equipment, risking that it may be returned damaged or unusable, while passengers sip cocktails not only from lay-flat business class seats, but from bar stools, restaurant-style booths, and sofas.”

I’m not going to vote for Biden because he can’t flame someone on Twitter and, with the miraculous power of social media, stop a rolling genocide happening in a Middle East conflict that has been raging for 75 years. I shall hold my breath until I get my way.
