Three years ago today, Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx stood in front of TV cameras and announced that life, as we knew it, was at an end. "Fifteen days to stop the spread" became weeks, became months, now years. There are some locales that still have measures in place purportedly to stop the spread of the virus. Some places still require masks or proof of vaccination to enter. People lost jobs, homes, family and friends.
We all now feel the effects from supply chain shortages, delays in medical care, reduced business services, inflation, economic devastation, and yes, even the banks failing this week. There is hardly any facet of our world that was not negatively effective by the lockdowns, restrictions and/or requirements in response to a virus with a 99.7% survival rate.
And all for nothing. Well, except that our governments now know that they can gain near complete control over the population by making us afraid of each other, and those who made millions, or even billions, from emergency pharmaceuticals that have done more harm than good.
Three years today, March 16. One day people will look upon it as yet another day of infamy, only this time, it was our own government dropping the bombs.

Hi!
Welcome to my little community here. I will be sharing stuff I find amusing or interesting, along with short commentary on current events, and links to my other endeavors - longer writing on Substack, videos on YouTube, and other projects I'm thinking about. I may do live streams here, or a podcast. Who knows?
My interests include nerd culture, travel, cats, knitting and fiber crafts, writing, music, and food, so any of those topics will likely pop up. It's a work in progress, so hop in and let's see where this goes!
For years, I have been pretty disgusted with the "Woke" or SJWs, and their supposed advocacy for oppressed people of all kinds. For the uninitiated, "Woke" is a description of people who wage war, both literal and figurative, on people who transgress certain unwritten rules, which then cast them as racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, misogynistic, and so on. It's Political Correctness on steroids, with a side of BPD.
An example: A woman writes on her blog about an upcoming trip to India. She describes her excitement over traveling to an exotic place, like going to Mars. The reaction to this was mind-blowing. Dozens of people starting commenting on the blog, saying she was racist, insensitive, was tokenizing brown people, exoticizing the country and more. The comments kept coming, with demands that she not simply apologize, but should also "do the work" to realize why her words were so hurtful, and "sit in her discomfort" while she works through to realizing that she is a racist, and must do what is necessary to become not just...
I'll leave the gun control and school security debate to others. I've been down that road many times, made all the arguments, backed them up with endless data, refuted emotional platitudes with logic and reason, and the debate never ends.
I do not know anything about the Uvalde, TX shooter other than his name, and that he killed his grandmother before going on the run, where he ended up in a school and he shot and killed over 20 people. It's the same evil being played out yet again, and no laws can be formed against such evil that will effectively stop it. What is needed is a reformation of our society at its very foundations.
For the last 50+ years, our society has been inundated with several evil ideas that have led directly to these kinds of tragedies -
Fathers are unnecessary
Masculinity is toxic
Children are expendable
We have welfare, food stamps and housing programs that make it easy for women to do without a man in the home, and the children go fatherless. We have legalized ...
