(Note for new subscribers: On Monday, I recap some of the positive stories/funny memes I’ve come across in the last week. Feel free to add your own in the comments!
Also, multiple people have mentioned not receiving yesterday’s long e-mail featuring The End of Covid interview. If you didn’t get it in your inbox, check out the article here!)
Strap in, Screamers! It’s gonna be a wild Monday* of pawsitivity! Let’s jump in!
When word comes that the beacons are lit and Gondor calls for aid:
Proof that Superman is the best superhero:
This is what I’ve been saying for years: It’s not that government is broken — government is working very very very well……just not for you.
But honestly it doesn’t really bother me too much:
The trick is to not have anything to begin with!
And besides, the news isn’t ALL bad!
You can watch the video of Rand Paul on Fox & Friends here, but here’s the money quote:
There's probably never been a government official caught more red-handed in a lie than this because now he has proved the lie in his own words. So at first he kind of acted like, 'oh, we don't have anything to do with the research over there. We don't fund the research in Wuhan.' So we found the actual scientific papers, we found the grant number proving that it came from his agency. And then he said, 'oh, well, yeah, we're funding it, but it's not gain-of-function. My experts up and down have looked at this and it's not gain-of-function.'
But now we have contemporaneous documents from February 2020, in the height of the beginning of the pandemic, where he's saying privately, 'well, yes, we're suspicious that this virus could have come from the lab because they're doing gain-of-function research.' And he describes the project that I had described to him a year later, which he said, 'oh, there's nothing to see here. This is not gain-of- function.' But now we have, in his own words, admitting that it was gain-of-function, admitting they funded it and admitting that it gave them suspicion to the possibility that this pandemic actually came from the lab. So now we have him dead to rights.
And while I admit the media isn’t ALL bad, it is MOSTLY bad. Here’s the dumbest paragraph you’ll read all day (quite the feat in media these days):
See? Race is a cultural construct that can’t be changed, because of racism.
After that, I need a palate cleanser for my brain:
That hit the spot! Now everybody go out and SMASH your upcoming week! And remember, I love you all soooooooooooooooooooo much!
