Yep, that’s how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.

Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.

Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”

Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren’t stupid, and it’s just become a routine part of raising a child.

Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus’ that they decide vaccines should be optional because… “Don’t tell me what to do, science nerds”

Seconded, but they just go by Tuta now.

Well, at least eggs are… more expensive than ever.

Yep, he’s been talking about it for awhile. This is not new information.

Why single out Musk?

Because the post is specifically about Starlink and most people are capable of understanding that limiting discussion to what’s relevant is not the same as “singling out” Musk.

At this point I think it’s good OPSEC to err on the side of caution and assume anything involving Musk is a security threat.

Donald Trump’s plan to make history by being the first sitting president to attend.

I mean, what else does he have going on? Everyone knows this is Musk’s presidency. He paid $277mil for it fair and square.

Ah right. Sorry I misread your comment. It’s getting pretty late over here.

The GOP supermajority in the General Assembly this week gave swift passage to the immigration enforcement law despite warnings from staff attorneys that the bill is “constitutionally suspect” in its unprecedented effort to curtail elected officials’ voting decisions.

The constitution? Are we still pretending that old thing matters anymore? lol good joke.

Which is amusing because The New York Times spent months working to get Trump reelected. And almost certainly had a much greater impact on his election victory than either Breitbart or OAN. They tanked their credibility for some cheap headlines and still got the boot. lol

Yep, we all knew they’d be the first victims of the Trump dictatorship. Hope selling out the country for a few months of “Biden old” headlines was worth it, rat bastards.

I suppose if we’re going to be Russia we needed our own RT and Pravda. Ugh… We’re so fucked.

It’s not going to hurt their bottom line, but as a matter of principle I deleted my bookmark for the LAT when their billionaire owner refused to allow the paper to endorse Harris/Walz. So this honestly doesn’t surprise me at all. Just add it to the list of reasons we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

How does this lower egg prices?

That’s a great idea if the goal is to make sure I don’t shop at CVS anymore.

He wasn’t all that smart. Mein Kampf is the poorly written ranting of a narcissistic lunatic with a grudge against the world. Sound familiar? The biggest difference between Hitler and Trump is that Hitler didn’t hire a ghost writer to dream up his shitty manifesto/autobiography out of thin air.

But based on the fact that the modern GOP thinks Trump is a genius sent by god I’m not surprised they’ve drastically overstated Hitler’s intelligence too.

Yeah, it breaks my heart knowing for a lot of kids, these free school lunches or breakfasts are the only dependable meals they have. Feeding hungry kids is the kind of thing I want my taxes being used for. Suggesting kids need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get jobs if they want to eat is cartoonishly evil. They’re already working. School is their job.

I’ve spent my whole life hearing that the US is the greatest country in the world… but I guess I’m just not rich enough to have enjoyed any of those supposed benefits because they sure aren’t trickling down to us common folk.
