Tuesday Night Open Thread
Are there any woodworkers or craftsmen on these here parts? I want a wood medicine cabinet to put in my kitchen near my fire extinguisher and fire blanket, and I want it to be wood and white and pretty.
In other news, Lily has been upset with me all day because I DARED to launder her favorite dog beds in my office. The looks of anguished pain she gave me traumatized me and I will no longer launder her beds without replacements for the two hours they are being washed. Sheesh.
Lots of news today and I don’t have the energy to talk about any of it.

Open Thread: Republicans Are Objectively Pro-Virus
“It’s unfair to not give credit to Donald Trump for developing a vaccine your viewers believe is dangerous, to prevent a disease your viewers don’t believe exists” is a hell of a take https://t.co/qKz6s4LTBm

I, too, am angry that Biden did not drop a JDAM on every Murdoch asset, send the family to Guantanamo, and vaccinate all Americans at gunpoint. pic.twitter.com/RrWMH5EJbB

perhaps, part of the reason that americans think things are going badly despite objective evidence to the contrary might be that major newspapers and television shows almost exclusively quote and interview republican strategists for their perspectives. https://t.co/mX4uFlZbiD

this piece is, for the genre, kind of unusually forthright about what's going on here — republicans are actively attempting to sabotage covid-19 efforts as well as economic recovery efforts — but treats this as just a normal part of politics

a thing that's been bizarre since the very beginning of the pandemic has been the hesitancy on the part of the press to objectively explain why the republican response to covid-19 is directly and indirectly responsible for tens of thousands of unnecessary american deaths.

seems more likely the denialism is idiocy and the political cashing-in is a plot. the two things aren't mutually exclusive https://t.co/wxcrW2Fwqn

i think a lot about how this article underlined that the trump's covid-19 response was so much worse that was even publicly known, how no one suffered any consequences for it, and how it almost immediately dropped off the radar the minute it was published. https://t.co/V1IkSsVVtl

i think there is a desire to hold people accountable for bad decisions who would take responsibility for those bad decisions, but the reality is that most of the worst mistakes were made by people who will never take responsibility and will attack you for even asking
