A eulogy for Scott Adams.

Well, he’s not dead yet, but it’s probably nice to be able to read and hear all the nice things about you while you are still alive to appreciate them.

Public Health’s Sacrificial Lambs

This is a deep, deep problem. I hope it’s not intractable. Jay Battacharya has a heavy lift. The way so many used the pandemic to seize power over the lives of others reminds me a lot of the climate scam.

“Fifteen Days To Stop The Spread”

4 Comments

Time flies. It’s been five years since one of the (many) big lies about the pandemic.

We had to fumigate the house for termites, and decided to take the cats up to Cambria for a couple days (their first, and so far, only road trip, which they probably think was some kind of weird dream), so we wouldn’t have to board them. We were supposed to meet some friends from Berkeley, but the lock down had just begun in the Bay Area, and they decided not to go. I wouldn’t say that the town was a ghost town, but it was decidedly weird. When we got back to LA, things just started rapidly deteriorating with all the lunacy from there.

Jennifer Sey: “The five-year anniversary of the lockdowns is here, and I’m angry.”

So am I. So should we all be. And Deborah Birx (among many others) has never been held accountable for her (her word) “subterfuge.“
