You might think with all the movies coming out where we see footage of actors transmogrified to change their age, height or other attributes, people would understand that just because you see someone say or do something, it doesn’t mean it is real. No, that wasn’t young Luke Skywalker appearing in the final episode of […]
Can anyone think of a worse year than 2020? I mean, there have been bad events in other years, including 9/11 (in case you can’t remember, that was in 2001). Or Hurricane Sandy (2012), although the Galveston hurricane of 1900 was the deadliest natural disaster to strike the US, ever. Way (way) back in May […]
Christmas is fast approaching, and the holiday parties are upon us. Most sane people will be having them remotely, or at least practice social distancing. Well, except for one very white house.
Doesn’t the right-wing media have anything better to complain about? I mean, seriously? We are having a 9/11-level catastrophe every single day with the coronavirus, Trump and the Republicans are doing everything in their power to destroy our democracy, Congress is teetering on the brink of having a shutdown, Russians have hacked into our government’s […]
Here’s a graph of the deaths from Covid-19. Note how fast the deaths are rising now. And if you think vaccines will solve this problem, remember that it will take around six months for the required 70% of Americans to start getting vaccinated, and that is assuming that significant numbers of Americans don’t refuse the […]
On Wednesday, the US had the worst day ever for the pandemic, setting new records for Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. Yes, it is bad in the US. In just one day, 3,656 people died from Covid-19 (more than the number who died from the terrorist attacks on 9/11). The US will pass 17 million […]
Pete Buttigieg is Joe Biden’s pick for Secretary of Transportation. Which spawned the following joke circulating around the innertubes: Buttigieg came out of the closet only to be put in the cabinet.
Monday, the electoral college voted and Joe Biden got the most votes. I’m sure the big bad Trump will huff and puff and try to blow the house down, but to no avail. He’s fired.
Saturday Night Live displayed a brilliant analogy of just how out of whack our news media has become. What if the right wing media treated sports news the same way it treats political news. The analogy is apt, because sports fans can show the same kind of fervor as Trump’s base.
Funny skit from SNL. The cold open is pretty funny, too. Kate McKinnon is almost unrecognizable as Dr. Fauci.
This video shows how Fox News responds to two different protests, and they couldn’t have been any more hypocritical. First are the Staten Island Protests, which were protesting a bar that was shut down for defying both city and state Covid-19 closure orders. Deputies attempted to arrest the owner for serving patrons in violation of […]
Republicans seem hellbent on destroying not just our democracy, but also our country. Why? So they can blame it on the Democrats. They have given up on their claims of fraud in the presidential election, and now they have resorting to just trying to overturn the election. They will fail at this, but it is […]
And not just for the coronavirus. We are going to need a whole bunch of novel vaccines to get things back on track.
