I fully believe they will take their grief and anger out on people who sounded the alarm on the risks of these pandemics, by labeling us the “ones who cried wolf” and insisting WE’RE the ones responsible then for THEIR unsafe choices. I don’t think we’ll be validated at all.
I don't want either one to be president. It's why I have been advocating for building and supporting third parties. I'm still advocating that because it's the right course of action to oppose these tyrants. The longer we wait, the worse our blue and red choices will get.
Biden passed a bill that gave a windfall to the oil companies driving climate destruction and touted it as the greatest environmental protection ever. That's worse.
Biden passed the most invasive violation of US citizens' privacy in history. That's worse.
Both of them take AIPAC money but Biden takes more. That's worse.
A mass casualty vehicle has been sighted moving onto University of Texas at Austin as a heavily armed multi-agency army of paramilitaries have invaded campus and attacked and arrested students and faculty Seen 3:50pm CST
But despite my 20 years on this beat, I realize I missed something: Whole lotta folks--leftists, liberals, fellow Jews--don't realize that even when they perform concern, Christian nationalists are *never* any friend of any of Jews, anywhere, even the fascist ones.
I say this from 20 years of researching & eporting on the Right. I know how Christian "Zionists" think. Scare quotes because if in service of either rapture theology or as pawn in war with far stronger Islam, it's not really any kind of Zionism, it's Christian fundamentalism.
reading all the handwringing about “free speech” and “safety” and remembering Anne Applebaum wrote an article in 2002 explicitly calling for the targeted killing of Palestinian journalists for the crime of making Israel look bad
Engaging in non-violent protest should never be justification for taking away housing, food or medical treatment.

NEW: Bird flu may have been circling in cattle as early as December. 1. USDA announced in March. 2. In April USDA shared only partial data, making it hard to track. The last thing we need is less data. 3. USDA says farmers aren’t letting them fully test nature.com/articles/d4158…
So it turns out bird flu has been ripping through US dairy factories for months and we’re just realizing this now because the USDA exempted farms from testing and even concealed data. The underrated context to all this is that Biden’s Secretary of Agriculture is a milk lobbyist.

A couple in Nevada has been arrested for child abuse/neglect. They had their 11yr old son with autism in a makeshift jail cell that was covered in feces & their other autistic child being locked in a bedroom with a diaper duct taped to her. Meet Jeffrey & Misty Scanlan.
@EndzoneCone Asymmetry and a note about transverse and sigmoid sinuses. My neurologist at the time told me it meant “normal.” Here are the images I got thanks to the radiologist who was willing to look at the actual images. Two visible clots and very visible hypoperfusion. Not normal.

@AutisticWaffles @TheMemeticist Like yeah the only vindication we’re about to get is being alive and less sick than everyone else lmao. Also (the privileged among us) already having enough masks and air filtration at home when some people realize they need them
@TheMemeticist Are you sure? People seem quite happy to die while clutching their American flag and muttering about their freedoms
@TheMemeticist Your milk shake brings all the antivaqxer denialists to the room. Looking at my watch in NY wondering how long it will take to get here if they don’t successfully contact trace it.
Please consider upping precautions if not already protecting yourselves from airborne diseases.
@TheMemeticist Nah.... anything can be rationalized by the minimizers. We're going to be told it's not that bad.
@TheMemeticist Is it pessimistic or realistic to think that even circulating H5N1 and measles won't be enough to make folks behave reasonably again? Maybe a bit of misanthropy.
the roots of the covid problem have not been addressed. only ignored, of course another pandemic is in the cards
its about to get real awkward for everyone who shunned the covid cautious
@StephTaitWrites Fairly certain they'll blame masks for weakening people's immune systems so they can't fight off H5N1.
Could that eventually change if/when deaths got too high for the economy to keep running the way they want it to? Sure. But it would take so long and require SO much death that the damage would be unthinkable already. But we’d be validated THEN at least, right? I don’t think so
First off, folks would take the very successful “ “lockdowns’ & school closures turned out to be an unnecessary overreaction that caused deep & lasting harm” rhetoric & use it as the basis to REFUSE any similar measures for H5N1 - and the CDC would go along with that.
I’m gonna be the Debbie downer here, but I don’t think an H5N1 pandemic would have the results you’re expecting. Here’s what I think I would actually go down:
its about to get real awkward for everyone who shunned the covid cautious
I really REALLY don’t want to be right this time. Truly. I honestly WANT to end up with egg on my face on this one. But FWIW, I’ve been right about this so far. 🫤 I’m pretty certain we will continue to be the punching bags for their unresolved trauma, grief, & anger. Sorry.
They’ve invested way too much into the cognitive dissonance to let this change anything. Their brains are not going to accept any blame or personal responsibility for something with stakes THIS high when it would be so much easier to direct all their blame & anger at us instead
Even if H5N1 makes the successful leap to human to human transmission, and even if it ends up being the WORST case of the possible scenarios? I still don’t see a world in which people in any way validate people like us. The stakes would be even HIGHER for their psyches.
And unfortunately I was right. Because people’s brains will twist them into absolute pretzels to avoid being forced to recognize that they were wrong about this, and the inevitable questions that would raise about the risks they took - ESPECIALLY for their kids. (See thread)
You don’t need cognitive impairment to explain this, b/c we are wired neurobiologically to try to protect our minds from trauma - often to the point of cognitive dissonance. Drs were/are exposed so much that it makes sense they’d subconsciously NEED to downplay the seriousness…
Lots of CC folks hypothesized last yr that once a large % of people were hit with LC and once spikes in heart attacks/strokes, the obvious signs of immune damage, & significant cognitive problems(esp in kids & teens) became clear, the tide would shift. I disagreed.
I fully believe they will take their grief and anger out on people who sounded the alarm on the risks of these pandemics, by labeling us the “ones who cried wolf” and insisting WE’RE the ones responsible then for THEIR unsafe choices. I don’t think we’ll be validated at all.
I think at that point people will actually BLAME those of us who stayed vigilant about Covid. “If y’all hadn’t kept trying to shove masks down everyone’s throat when they weren’t necessary, people wouldn’t have been so resistant now when they could have actually helped!” Etc
kinda wild how quickly the complaints went from "student protesters are harassing zionist students" to "student protesters refuse to harass zionists adults who are hanging around campus for some reason"
Don’t mind me. Just sitting on a bench reading at Vanderbilt next to the “Palestinian Solidarity Encampment” with my huge Israeli flag. They won’t even come have a historical debate with me. #AmYisraelChai #ProudJew #Vanderbilt
@TNGoldenBoy Ben, thank you for this post. It’s one of the best pieces of evidence I have found proving Jews are safe on campuses, and also reveals how you felt safe enuf to go there & try to provoke a reaction to prove you weren’t safe and then had a tantrum when you were safe, but ignored.
