  • Pretty good article for Nytimes standards. I’m glad to see at least a little lib pushback against the ongoing and prevalent COVID denialism. The most reactionary tendencies really ‘won’ the narrative around COVID and it still shocks me every day. People who were by my side in 2020 pushing for strong precautions, who waited in line for the vaccine in ‘21; now they’re claiming COVID is no worse than the flu or a cold and not getting boosters or masking. Even in my more progressive city I see only a handful of other people masking each day. It is very revealing how many people were willing to swallow the anti vax and denialist narrative the moment it became convenient for them to do so, such that they can pretend the pandemic is over.



  • Peggy pisses me off man, I love his work but he won’t let go of this Kanye supporting shit even when the man was actively meeting with trump and now when he’s tweeting full on nazi shit. Then when everybody’s calling him out for that while he calls himself any sort of ally he accuses those people of being keyboard warriors and writes songs about how he’s just a target for projection. Like no man ppl are calling you out for materially supporting a fascist for self serving bs reasons
