Robert F. Kennedy Jr, cannot be impeached fast enough as the CDC falls into the hands of wellness and anti-vaccine advocates.

The FDA wants to black label the COVID vaccine. I knew they would move fast but even I didn't think it would be THIS fast.

It takes training and conditioning to not give a fuck what people think. Contrary to popular belief, even if you’re born with the ability society and peer pressure will slowly make you give a fuck. You have to unlearn, recondition, and focus.

Not giving a fuck takes practice. Go practice.

Capitalism needs us to feel bad if we are not in its service.

When we support each other, we weaken capitalism's hold on our imaginations, and capitalists rightly feel threatened.
Most people do all they can to support themselves. People don't want to be mooches. It's just a fact most of us need support from others, but people are socialized not to support each other.

"Then in just the last week, the Ukrainians executed a military operation that pushed the Russians back about twice the distance as it had taken the Russians to advance in more than four months. It's interesting that this story has not yet appeared in the New York Times.'

There are shitty jobs no one wants to do under a fully socialist/communist system too. The difference is the way to motivate people to do them would require state force instead of the economic and social pressure and the risk of being destitute we have now.

Tried listening to Taylor Swift’s music, bought an album a couple of years ago. It was quite blah. Nothing special. Put someone else’s name on it and it would not make a ripple, imo.

In the same vein as people talking up the political writing of Olivia Nuzzi. Really?

Another angle: homelessness kills, slowly & quickly. This is well established as a matter of public health. (Even living in a homeless shelter kills.) And it leads to terminal illnesses. Yet liberal govts will NOT help some who says, "I am about to be homeless, plz help me." They just let 'em die.
