A lesson in how humans undo themselves for the worst reasons
I mean, is there something WRONG with me that I firmly believe that it’s wrong to sacrifice what is best for the most just to save one’s own political skin? Is altruism dead? Am I going mad?
On the bright side:
Update: After the publication of this article, Mary-Jean Harris said she’s 'taking a break from Freedom Princess’ and deleted the Facebook and Instagram pages for the project.
The “freedom fries” for a new generation!
You’re not, no.
And here I thought the major trope in stories about princesses is that they don’t actually have much freedom.
For example:
Since March, an American has started a COVID-related fundraiser on GoFundMe every two minutes.
To help develop the regimen, the actor-turned-peddler of exploding vagina candles consulted with a chiropractor (naturally). The chiropractor, Will Cole, set Paltrow on a part-fasting, part-keto dietary plan that’s somehow “plant-based,” except that it includes “fish and a few other meats.” To complement this “freewheeling” diet, Paltrow also gulps a $102 fist-full of vitamins and supplements, which get washed down with a $60 “detoxifying” powder mixed with water.
I genuinely believe she is a good actor, but I continue to be surprised at how terrible she is at acting like a good person.
She is not acting. Not as a good person (she may think so) or as an actress. The last part is just me.
Since this mentions reopening schools, I decided to put this here.
Looks like an aye-aye person.
I’ve been taking D supplements for a about 3 months now. I figure… I get a minimal amount of sunlight anyway (I have the kind of skin that will burn in under 20 minutes) and basically zero in winter during lockdown, so it’s just generally a good idea whether or not it helps with COVID.

St. Louis is still way behind on vaccine supply – the state is distributing more doses to rural areas, maybe because most of the Black people and Democrats live in/near the city… anyway. My wife managed to snag us appointments for tomorrow in St. Robert, a tiny town halfway across the state near an Army base. Which is good, because her library system decided to open to the public again 
The day before the governor opened the state 100%, news was that Texas is the first state to have EVERY SINGLE variant known so far.
So yeah, like he said, we will have Texas to thank when covid-19 becomes covid-21 2.0 and nothing we’ve done so far will stop it anymore.
