Based on the rushed testing protocol they used, as well as being from a highly questionable information source (Putin's Russia), that would be the vaccine I would have the greatest hesitancy in using.

I think he mentioned at some point he was in favor of a digital fence. For that to work though you'd need to hire more border guards to round up all the loose people. Must be a Democrat full employment act.

Well that's pretty much been 80+% of the attacks coming from the right wingnuts, so most likely Putin is merely amplifying the behavior. Thus far it hasn't done much to Biden's popularity, and I suspect many people just dismiss it as peevish partisanship.

An angry grizzly bear appears. You draw your derringer...

They'll need a control to compare to the microchipped population. The big question is, which one is the control? It's a double-blind study. Mwahahaha... 🤡

So... the $750 million the Gates Foundation spent on AZD1222 doesn't count? Bill Gates commits $750M to help Oxford vaccinate the world against COVID-19

Major European nations suspend use of AstraZeneca vaccine Why does this seem like a total knee-jerk response that will end up killing more people than it saves?

Fails to sink a birdie...

Ultimately, I think we're going to need to employ something like blockchain technology to validate the originality of all videos. At least those that are likely to end up in a court of law.

Researchers have had good results from a two week, $10 course of the antidepressant fluxoxamine: The antidepressant fluvoxamine could keep mild COVID-19 from worsening Good news, if it pans out.

Finally got caught up on Resident Alien. Alan Tudyk plays an alien in an alien land brilliantly; the comic timing is spot on. The rest of the drama is mostly conventional, but the town plays the straight man role perfectly. It's well worth a watch.

On US TV, if it jiggles, it gets cancelled alas. I still remember that girls on trampolines show. Yeah, it's totally sexist. 😛

Well, how do you explain the interest in the Khadashians? Many people have zero interest, yet they always manage to remain in the news. It's an attention economy and the Royals get plenty of that. We don't have an equivalent ceremonial post in the US; it's more or less fulfilled by the President, who often is busy battling negative opinion. Maybe that's why some people in the US follow the Royals instead?

Speaking of cable news...

The ugly/scary scenario would be for Texas and other unmasking states to start spiking again, right when the new strains are starting to take off here. He's taking an awful risk just to demonstrate his macho Republican bona fides. Giddy up.

Microscopic wormholes possible in theory Getting closer to a concrete theory that supports the existence of wormholes.

I hear the Russians are trying to push that message.
