I have not been on vacation since the officials here made it far to onerous and impossible to leave this shithole as a pure blood. We did make the best of it in 2020. The Grand Canyon was epic quiet in September’20. Would you believe we got ugly glances from masked idiots?

In the Grand Canyon!

Mexico was fun too. Diving was excellent without the cruise ships and hordes of obese passengers.

I read them on vacation. Not much else, but these let me catch up in moments. Worth twice as much on vacation, actually...

The “study” claiming the UK’s first lockdown would’ve saved 35,000 lives if it had started 1 week earlier is a based on a garbage-in garbage-out model.

In case anyone wants to read a serious analysis based on real-world data, see Simon Wood’s paper. TL:DR All 3 lockdowns came after infections had peaked.

We are lucky that the true lockdown believers are seeing the consequences. Dogs killed with shovels and cats in bags meowing on the streets. Not to mention the suicides and god only knows what.

Naked Emperor - do you still believe in the climate bullshit?

It was time to drop that when we realized how deeply cynically the Covid narratives are false.
