For Sars-Cov-2 there is this notion out there that all diseases become less lethal after they interact with the populace for a certain period of time, as if genetic adaptation of viruses is drawn to not harming the host species for its own survival.

This notion is false for any disease. Viruses do not naturally adapt to become "friendlier" to anything.

This is the canned 80s music of the 60s - it's not that good

I love how these isolated hamlets have fully-equipped bio labs in these films

They did everything right but somehow it's all wrong

He's an upper-class guy with all the values of a street pimp.

NYC born and raised

NYC has a lot to answer for

OK getting sprayed in the face by unknown blood source in the shower apparently isn't a debilitating psychological freakout moment

@CactuarJoe @Taweret

That had to be one of the most boring sci-fi thrillers I have seen

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting this oddity!

If you pander to those people, and you get shot by one of your own supporters (disaffected or not) - it's not the fault of the Democrats, who have been trying to get a ban on assault rifles for years.

This problem was caused by Republicans, is often carried-out by Republicans and should be fixed by Republicans -- real soon, if possible.

Registered Republicans with assault rifles are dangerous people. That should cause "bipartisan horror".

@inthehands They don't have to say it. The message is implied.

Universities who didn't negotiate got more trouble through escalation of tactics, extended occupation, more bad actors inevitably entering the fray.

@inthehands It seem like "reach an agreement with us and there won't be any trouble" is extortion

Apparently you can pasteurize eggs and flour so it's safe to eat.

@forthy42 @MisuseCase

The whole point of discussing this is an exercise in futility. People simply do not have enough information to judge for themselves, and there is some movement to declassify some persuasive intelligence that Congress was briefed on.

@MisuseCase The point I was making was an attempt to describe AOC's self interest in TikTok as being Millennial interest, and a conflict of interest (or representation, depending on how you want to look at it.)

I said nothing about lawns or getting off them

@MisuseCase

AOC may not have monetary interest in TikTok, but she has generational interest (her national constituents are largely Millennials and younger). TikTok is mostly an artifact of Millennials and younger.

The fact remains it is a spying platform, and has been used to put surveillance on journalists and others.

National security interests are being weighed against generational-centered social platforms, and one would expect her to object.

Despite Trump/MTG being in the same corner

@taylorlorenz Look who opposes this bill. Trump, Musk, Marjorie Taylor Greene. And AOC, (who suffers from millennial self-interest)

All the wrong people are aligned to protect TikTok
