Somebody is going to tell Shosta seriously to read Garth Ennis, and the first thing he's going to find is Crossed.

Crossed is so bleak it loops around to being hilarous. Better than Walking Dead though.

He can just get his seat back when Warren becomes vice president

but really tho, what's the rush for Kennedy to elbow into the senate? Even in a scenario where Warren doesn't become VP, Markey likely isn't going to be a senator for much longer anyway so...why piss people off, look like an entitled jerk, etc. It's not like he's gonna become president so...?

As far as I can tell the appeal of JFK is that he would have started doing good things if he hadn't died, but if he was smart he would have done good things when he was still alive

I'm still not sure who would be a "good" VP but I swear to god Amy K would be a terrible choice. Doubling down on non-charismatic moderates would be such a weird decision. She wasn't bad in the debates but jeez...no.

Friendly with Bloomberg, wholeheartedly endorsed Biden on Tara Reade, will clearly do or say anything to get higher office, not great on voting rights when she was actually in office...

Also whoever Biden picks is the presumed heir to the party throne and she isn't nearly as progressive as her media coverage would make you think

The Georgia state House of Representatives to the Vice Presidency, with a possibility of the Presidency, is quite a leap in four years.

stost should also read Lucifer after he completes The Sandman, then shonda probably needs to read METAL for Daniel's appearance but likely needs to read Final Crisis/Morrison's Batman and its associated works to understand the depth of the references to the Multiverse and Barbatos while also framing it within Snyder's Batman, basically shasta needs to read everything ever printed since it's all canon now

I mean, he also picked an old flabby boring dude as his VP, who also hated his guts.

I don't get the no mask thing. Do they think only sissys wear them?

naff · « **Reply #57888 on:** May 11, 2020, 08:22:58 AM »

here barely anyone wears masks. I was out with a friend the other day (we are out of full lockdown, and about to go down to level 2 - basically free business + social distancing) and she said she's wearing one because her bf is Asian and said he would like to wear one, but doesn't want to until more white people do, so she's doing her bit lmao

health professionals and govt officials here have basically said wearing masks is more than likely detrimental in non healthcare scenarios. things like needing to touch your face more outweigh the benefits.

nz gov put together this more official report reviewing the science the other day https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-novel-coronavirus-health-advice-general-public/covid-19-face-mask-and-hygiene-advice

I might have said this in the corona thread, but I listened to Ardern addressing the NZ public and got really wistful for the idea of having a (seemingly) competent adult as a country's leader.

1. Trump doesn't like the aesthetics of it

2. He thinks wearing masks would imply the members of the White House are worried about their health, which he believes sends a wrong message to the country he desperately wants to open back up ASAP

1 for sure. It doesn't look 'good' on TV.

2 probably comes from Kushner, Pence and the others to justify 1 to the staff.
