    Even worse: gyms won’t let you cancel online or by phone; in order to cancel they make you show up in person — when the fact that you never go there is the very reason you are canceling.

    Thanks to @elonmusk, the anti-vax nimrods now jump to the top of these threads w/their nonsense. b/c really when you think Vegas & incapacitated, the 1st thing you think is not alcohol but, omg, he must have been…vaccinated. <insert eyeroll here>

    Love how many responses demand that i prove it didnt happen because of the vax. I’ve gotten all my shots — am healthy, fly often without passing out and have the added bonus of not living the life of a fear-mongering freak.

    On his resistance to vaccine mandates, @GovRicketts says COVID-19 “is very different from polio that has very devastating effects.” In 1952 the U.S. worst epidemic of polio was recorded. 3,145 people died & almost 60,000 contracted the virus. Covid killed 3,200 ppl *thursday.*
    CHRIS WALLACE: To attend school in Nebraska, kids need to have all sorts of vaccinations. Why should Covid be different? GOV. PETE RICKETTS: There's just a lot of people who don't know who to trust right now WALLACE: It has FDA approval

    BREAKING: Douglas County District Judge Shelly Stratman denied the state of Nebraska's request for an order overturning Douglas County Health Director Lindsay Huse's mask mandate. Translated: Mask mandate remains. Keep masks on in public, ppl. Story soon

    There was a time when common-sense Nebraskans didn’t put up w/the race-baiting that @jim_pillen did to a reporter who shared facts about his polluting hog farms. Unless Pillen sincerely apologizes to Yanqi, he’s as big a piece of sh*t as the sewage he pipes into our waterways.
    Reporter Yanqi Xu did some good journalism. Rather than respond to her findings, Jim Pillen went on the radio and said that her work wasn't worth reading because of where she came from. How embarrassing. Infuriating. Sad. My column: flatwaterfreepress.org/governors-comm…

    You still can’t get your mind around the fact that Legislatures have required vote counters to wait until after the polls close to *start* counting and to wait several days to make sure all mail-in and absentee ballots have arrived?

    When they say it’s a mental-health problem, it sure as hell is. How can you watch good, earnest people being terrorized by gun-nut nonsense and not feel mentally (and physically) ill.
