I usually take a very dim view when celebrities try to stick their noses and personal views into politics, especially celebrities who are famous mainly because they are actors. But two separate things happened today that totally surprised me. The first was Arnold Schwarzenegger posting a video to Twitter (and other social media channels). Yes, […]
Russia announced that they are sanctioning top US administration officials, including Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin, Mark Milley, Jake Sullivan, William Burns, Jen Psaki, Daleep Singh, Samantha Power, Wally Adeyemo, and Reta Jo Lewis. Just for good measure, they also sanctioned Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton (who are not currently part of the administration, […]
Apparently, I’m not the only person who noticed that the Republican story is, um, evolving rapidly. And Critical Race Theory to combat in our schools, even though it isn’t actually taught in any schools. But it seems that the sheeple are more than happy to become enraged at anything, even if it is totally made […]
First, two quotes from former ambassador Nikki Haley. I can visualize her talking out of both sides of her mouth simultaneously. Putin knows it’s costly, and he knows he can’t do it. This is him leveraging to see what he can get. He doesn’t want to expand… I don’t think Russia wants to go to […]
This is a photo taken during a recent protest in Berlin, in front of the Brandenburg Gate. The gate itself is showing the Ukrainian flag colors. There is some irony here, since when he killed himself in a bunker, Hitler was the leader of Germany. But the ironic change is welcome.
Vladimir Putin is being blasted by almost all of the countries of the world, including people in Russia. But here in the US there are a few (seemingly insane) people who are cheering Putin on in his invasion of Ukraine. And ironically, Joe Biden’s popularity ratings have jumped up 8% since his State-of-the-Union address, where […]
Not with a bang, but a whimper. SNL discusses the ultimate Covid questions. Personally, I wish more people had worn masks and been fully vaccinated. Considering that around 6 million (and counting) people have died from Covid-19, it was obviously incumbent on us to do everything we could to combat it. After all, when 6 […]
Lauren Boebert is a Republican far-right congressperson from Colorado who loves Donald Trump, QAnon, conspiracy theories. She is famous for insulting people who hold religious beliefs different than hers, and she supported the rioters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. She regularly carries a firearm to her workplace in the Capitol, and […]
Who knew that the latest arms race would center around social media disinformation?
Sometimes, you just can’t make this stuff up. Here is the first section of a model bill produced by the American Legislative Exchange Council. 1) fossil fuels currently supply more than 80% of the world’s primary energy, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration still projects global consumption of fossil fuels to increase steadily at least […]
If I can post a comic comparing us to a Monty Python skit, surely we can be compared to a fictional parallel earth where they actually try to do the right thing. Although I will point out that Biden Prime did come through with free Covid test kits. Order yours now at https://www.covidtests.gov/
How many people recognized the source of this joke? With an updated caption to make it about the pandemic.
I mean, what’s the point of a pandemic if you can’t make lots of money from it?
At the end of last year, Los Angeles County released the following data: Unvaccinated people in the county are 14 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those that have been fully vaccinated. The hospitalization rate for the unvaccinated has increased to 28 per 100,000 people, while for vaccinated people it has remained relatively […]
This may not be humorous, but how ironic is someone doing an interpretive dance about their own PhD research on the proteins in SARS-CoV-2. This will make all you science nerds dance with joy!
