“Fifteen Days To Stop The Spread”
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.

A New Crusade
This is how you get one.
Christianity is the only acceptable target of religious bigotry.

This seems somewhat related: October 8th, an important documentary.
Climate Policies
The climate has changed for them. It’s tragic that it didn’t happen sooner. We’ve missed out on trillions in economic growth as a result of this stupidity.
