Blóð fyrir blóð-guðinn

The Atlantic les ekki í herbergið

"The Atlantic has come under fire for suggesting that all the terrible pandemic-era decisions over lockdowns, school closures, masking, and punishing an entire class of people who questioned the efficacy and wisdom of taking a rushed, experimental vaccine - for a virus with a 99% survival rate in most, should all be water under the bridge.

In one epic Twitter thread, Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Matthew J. Peterson (@docMJP) excoriates Oster's entire premise;

Hey—sorry you lost your job b/c of the vax that doesn’t work and your grandmother died alone and you couldn’t have a funeral and your brother’s business was needlessly destroyed and your kids have weird heart problems—but let’s just admit we were all wrong and call a truce, eh?

It’s too bad we shut the entire economy down & took on tyrannical powers that have never been used before in this country—looking back, you should have been able to go to church and use public parks while we let people riot in the streets—but it was a confusing time for everyone.

Hey I'm sorry we scared the hell out of you & lied for years & persecuted & censored anyone who disagreed but there was an election going on & we really wanted to beat Donald Trump so it was important to radically politicize the science even if it destroyed your children's lives.

OK, yes we said unvaccinated people should die & not get healthcare while never questioning Big Pharma once but we are compassionate people which is why even though we shut down the entire economy we also bankrupted the nation & caused inflation. You're welcome! Let's be friends."

Fólkið virðist ekki mjög hrifið.

Fólk hefur enga ástæðú til að vera hrifið

 

"The stories go on and on. You can go to Jesse's tweet and read them all for yourself."

Á meðan, á MBL:

 

Blóð fyrir blóð-guðinn!  ARR!!!

Fasisti vill vinna gegn hægri-sinnum

"Ég vil spyrja sænska for­sæt­is­ráðherr­ann hvort hann telji að nor­rænu rík­is­stjórn­irn­ar séu í raun vilj­ug­ar til að vinna sam­an af heil­ind­um gegn hægri öfga­hreyf­ing­um, sem geta ógnað nor­ræn­um gild­um..."

Írónískt.

Talandi um íróníu...

"POLITICO accuses right-wingers of spreading a “baseless claim.” In our defense, we first encountered that claim as it was reported in … POLITICO."

Stephen King hefur ekki efni á að vera á Twitter lengur

"Multimillionaire author Stephen King has complained about the prospect of paying $20 a month to maintain his blue-check verification on Twitter...

Stephen King has used his Twitter account, which has close to 7 million followers, to spread fake news about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Florida’s COVID death count ."

Haha!

Þetta gæti verið vandræðalegt.  Skoðum betur á morgun.

Kolefnistrúarmenn hætta að vera með læti eftir aðlögreglan tekur á þeim

"Eco-warriors Just Stop Oil have declared a temporary ceasefire...

It comes after eco-warriors from the group made a half-hearted attempt to scale the gates of Downing Street today - a day after their month of action officially came to an end.

But they were quickly stopped by armed police guarding the entrance. The officers easily pushed back the activists, who were then detained. 

Nearby, other protests from Just Stop Oil attempted to block Whitehall, near the Cenotaph. But once again police quickly intervened, moving aside the eco-warriors as they unfurled a Just Stop Oil banner."

Lögreglan hefur tekið við sér eftir að fólk fór að verða mannýgt

"Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist has urged people not to take the law into their own hands after activists blocking roads in London were dragged out of the way in heated scenes today (26 October))."

Mmhmmm...
