Karen’s Gone Wild
Normally I’d make at least a little commentary on something like this, but the Tweet speaks for itself. Strange times we live in.

Trump Family LARPs Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, is Surprised When Death Actually Shows Up
You can’t make this shit up. In Poe’s story, rich people led by Prince Prospero, decide to throw a masquerade party and lock themselves away from the peasants who are dying from plague. A mysterious guest shows up dressed as a Red Death figure. No spoilers, but you can guess how it ends.
People never change do they? I wonder if anyone on the guest list to the real party in the Hamptons in the video above had read this story or seen the Vincent Price movie, sensed the irony, and decided to skip it. Probably not knowing the arrogance of these type of people.
The Psychology of Why People Suck at COVID-19 Safety
The biggest frustration for those of us dealing with wearing masks and doing social distancing is all the idiots who aren’t. They’re causing this to go on longer than it has to, and their choice to do all the wrong things – no masks, Covid parties going to bars, etc – has a body count attached to it. While I’m pretty sick of people doing things like this and continually making it about politics this video pretty well lays out why people can’t wrap their heads around the abstract idea of the COVID-19 threat. We’re all going to suffer longer for it.
The Pandemic of Ignorance
I love me a good conspiracy theory, and I must say that in the past I haven’t always been diligent on checking sources for things I believed. That being said I’m of the opinion that Facebook and Twitter are a pox upon the sanity of humanity the way their algorithms feed the conspiracy minded individuals of the world.
Whenever I want to bathe in my own political opinions I know the Young Turks are gonna be there for me. Right now I’m with Anna in this video. I wash my hands of the idiots of the world and am only concerned with taking care of myself and the people I love. Lord of the Flies and literally every zombie movie ever revealed how people will act when things get bad.
C’mon people – wear the mask in public. Be responsible. I think some book somewhere said we should be our brother’s keepers didn’t it? So show some concern for your sisters and brothers out there and do every thing you can to not needlessly extend this pandemic.
