I was at a minor-league baseball game last week. We were in the most distant seats in the park, and I think I’d still have had a decent chance of getting it onto the field. The guy throwing T-shirts to the crowd was able to make it to the back rows even throwing uphill. And minor league baseball is probably about as prominent as women’s basketball. ---

Well, it’s actually the Centers for Control of news about Diseases. If we refuse to gather data on illness & death, and refuse to talk about illness and death, then illness and death do not exist, amiright? The difference between the current criminal regime and their RW boosters versus toddlers continues to shrink by the day. ---

> [@thorny\_locust](#): > > (I suppose some of the sensible ones will do their best. But it’s going to be a lot harder, especially for people who need to keep their jobs.) I wasn’t able to stay home last time because my job was one that required my physical presence and keeping people fed is sort of essential to maintaining civilization. But you better believe I masked up, gloved up, sanitized, and vaccinated myself to the extent I could. Well, at least I got some hazard pay so not all bad. ---

Remember, by the time the vaccines rolled out, the states were already perfectly sorted, with every state that voted Trump having higher covid rates than every state that voted Clinton. This, despite the fact that diseases naturally spread easier in urban areas. There’s a heck of a lot that Republicans were doing wrong. ---
