Dave gets it.

"And even though the depraved morality of this moment should be bleedingly obvious to every sane, compassionate monkey, in the West this truth is obscured, mythologised into nothingness, twisted until up is down and offence is defence and all of a sudden: ‘iT’s CoMpLiCaTeD’."

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

So far, their most outspoken and famous doctor is cheering it on.

UCSF let this be the public face of their university with no pushback.

I have sympathy for 99% of their doctors who are descent I’m sure.

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think.

Isn't that one of the main points of art?

If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society?

Craven cowards.

The fun thing about this article is the astonishing double standards disguised as analysis.

Some white, male athletes behave this way constantly and laugh it off, if it’s reported at all.

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.

they had two options to arrest the decline:

1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system

tonight they chose to rig the system.
