I mean - there's more truth to this than people want to admit. It's a harsh way to phrase that it's practically abusive to make people live at certain latitudes where they can't absorb the amount of sun that creates vita

I mean we know vitamin-D is related to improved immunity and seemingly a whole host of other benefits. We also know obesity and other chronic illness associated with diet is a horrific risk factor for covid. Why in the hell haven't the

Yea you don't hear a peep from the "hate has no home here" side when Cathy Griffin holds a beheaded Trump in effigy. You could only imagine the pearl-clutching if someone made the same image with Biden.

I think if you look at any of the cities over the past year, there's example after example of spineless mayors, etc. unwilling to protect their citizens and society generally from chaos and petty thieves. People powerless while they wa

Why aren’t we blaming anyone that died at CHAZ/CHOP on BLM? It’s hard not to see the bending-over-backwards academic justifications for why we shouldn’t be suppressing riots last year as anything other than the pretext and lead up to w

I think it’ll be viewed with anger. The type of blatant despotism and extreme, ubiquitous human rights violations will lead to tensions. Especially in light of something like coronavirus where they’ve been frantically secretive.
