HE MIGHT BE RIGHT, YOU KNOW?  This Plague Psychodrama is Peak Postmodernism. Its Retreat Will Lead to Remodern Renewal.

THIS APOCALYPTIC PLAGUE L(ive)A(ction)R(ole)P(playing)ING GROWS MORE ABSURD BY THE MOMENT:   Low virus rate leaves Oxford vaccine trial with ‘only 50% chance’.

THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A BLOG POST AS A PRE- COFFEE BULL SESSION ON MY BLOG. I WAS TRYING TO COLLECT THOUGHTS FROM WHICH, EVENTUALLY, COLUMNS MIGHT ORIGINATE:  Nothing to Live or Die for.

FROM FRANK J.  FLEMING:  Superego: Fathom.

There are two ways to be a hero.

One is more violent than the other. And the universe needs a hero, because a mysterious entity known as the Fathom is terrorizing the known universe and seizing control. But they’ve made one mistake: They woke Rico, the universe’s greatest killer, from a coma. And he’s decided he might be the good guy this time.

But being a hero isn’t easy. Rico has to work with others (not his favorite), and the impossible odds means it’s going to take an insane scheme or two (more to his liking). Still, Rico won’t let anything get in his way on his mission to destroy the Fathom… even though there are like a ton of things in his way — militaries, trained killers, a planet-devastating weapon or two.

Once again, it looks like Rico is going to destroy a lot of things and kill a lot of people.

But hopefully this time in a good way.

UN-POSSIBLE!  California doctors say they’ve seen more deaths from suicide than coronavirus since lockdowns.

Ark, for I was the voice crying in the desert. And while I know Cassandra didn’t get half the beating she deserved, in this case I didn’t need the power of prophecy. Just thought, open eyes, and common sense.

SKIN COLOR IS NOT CULTURE. RACE IS NOT CULTURE. THOSE COLORS MIGHT BE MULTI-RACIAL.  THEY ARE NOT MULTI-CULTURAL. ALL OF THOSE COLORS ARE IN THE US, AND PRESENT ACROSS CULTURES:  Crayola launches multicultural ‘Colors of the World’ crayons.

I don’t want to say Hitler also confused race and culture, but guess what? Hitler also confused race and color.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN SMOKING?  Scientists believe cannabis could help prevent, treat coronavirus.

SIGH:  Student files complaint claiming College Board AP exams discriminate against blind and deaf students.

After all that’s happened, apparently the right we retain is the right to cry “victim!” as hard as we can.

WELL, YES, I IMAGINE. THOUGH MY FANS SEEM TO PREFER THE PLAGUE DOCTOR MASK:  Bane masks selling out amid the coronavirus pandemic.

And if the “authorities” don’t get they’re being mocked, it’s even more fun.

GREAT NEWS ABOUT MASKS. IF YOU’RE READING THIS, AND YOU’RE A HAMSTER, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WEAR ONE:  Hamsters help to show just how effective masks can be in stopping coronavirus transmission.

FYI, no hamster ever covered his sneezes. I also imagine they’re all much more familiar with each other’s poo than sane humans.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY TEACH IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. I KNOW IT’S NOT ANYTHING WORTH KNOWING:  Most Americans have no clue why we celebrate Memorial Day.

SURE. BUT IT’S NOT THE SAME. THINK ABOUT IT. IF MOVIE THEATERS OFFERED POPCORN AND SODA TO GO, WOULD YOU PAY THE SAME PRICE WITHOUT BEING IN FRONT OF A MOVIE?  Curbside concessions: Minor league ballparks across the country are offering stadium fare to-go.

THEY’RE JUST JEALOUS:  Scientists cast doubt on NASA parallel universe theory.

AND IT MUST BE SUCH THAT EVEN FRAUD CAN’T OVERCOME IT:  The only opposition that will matter to today’s lock down fascism will be opposition expressed in the ballot box.

THIS IS FAR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ANYONE THINKS:  Philadelphia Judge of Elections Pleads Guilty to Committing Election Fraud To Help Democrats…

OH, LOOK, ANOTHER CELEB RUNNING HIS MOUTH:  Mark Cuban’s mindless critique of President Trump.

SEEMS TO BE TO ALLOW GOVERNORS TO DAYDREAM ABOUT THEMSELVES IN HUGO BOSS UNIFORMS. IF THERE IS ANOTHER, I CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT:  Shutdowns: What’s the Point?

I’M FROM COLORADO. WE DON’T OBEY STUPID ORDERS:  Winnie the Flu and Mandatory Vaccines.

THEY COULD BE REPLACED TO ADVANTAGE BY A WILD EYED BUNCH OF FANTASY NOVELISTS. AND THAT’S SAYING A LOT:  Kill All the Economics Departments.

LOOK, IT’S MY SHOCKED FACE AGAIN:  Rice’s Last Minute ‘By the Book’ Email Written Upon Advice of Obama’s White House Counsel.

TRUE. BUT THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW IT:  China Should Not Provoke the United States.

BEHOLD! MY SHOCKED FACE:  Public Education On The Edge Of Collapse.

IF ONLY THIS WERE LITERAL, AND THEY VANISHED OVER THE HORIZON IN A CARTOON-LIKE CLOUD OF SMOKE, WHISTLING:  Biden VP Sweepstakes Pick Up Steam.

Or, if I need to be clear: these are all very bad people.

TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH:  Churches Push Back Against Coronavirus Edicts.

PLEASE, I BEG YOU, TELL ME THIS IS PARODY:  China’s President Xi Jinping ‘turns down Mark Zuckerberg’s request to name his unborn child’ at White House dinner.
