Natural Selection, Covid-19 and the Darwin Awards

   It seems that natural selection is weeding out some of the more virulent anti-vax and anti-mask idiots polluting our airwaves. These smug, self centered, narcissistic and entitled fuckwads arrogantly think of themselves as "freedom fighters". They don't care that their asinine behavior is putting people at risk and leading to more variations of Covid-19. And as we get more variations, those of us that had the foresight to get vaccinated as soon as possible can find ourselves vulnerable to one or more of these variants. It's possible that I caught the Delta variant a while back when I thought I'd caught a cold.

  These self righteous pricks are extending the pandemic and putting people in danger. And to make matters worse, the contard propaganda monkeys at Fox are downplaying getting the vaccine while pushing drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. The first one is used to treat parasitic infestations while the other is primarily used to treat malaria. Neither of these drugs have been proven effective against Covid-19. The study that some have sighted as evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness against Covid-19 may have been founded on fabricated data, plagiarism and ethical breaches. These morons won't follow the advice of people with actual medical credentials but they'll accept the verbal diarrhea spewing from the orifices of ignorant shitheads on TV and the internet.

  But enough of that. Let's look at some videos of some of the latest recipients of the Darwin Award. These individuals have pushed vaccine and Covid-19 misinformation and paid a karmically appropriate price for it. They all got Covid-19 and died.

  I feel absolutely no sympathy of these cocksuckers. I truly hope they suffered as they lay dying in their hospital beds. These people took up valuable hospital beds and resources. They've spread the disease to who knows how many people while they were strutting around thinking that they were superior to those of us that wear masks and got vaccinated. While some of them saw the light as they lay in the hospital, it was a case of too little, too late. The damage has been done. It's times like these that this old atheist wishes there was a Hell just so these stupid bastards' suffering could continue for eternity.

Not So Random Musings

   The battery in my Galaxy S8 started expanding causing my phone to split open at the seams. I didn't notice right away because the smartphone case made things look normal. I took it out of the case because I was having problems with the volume controls. I'd try to adjust the volume and the Bixby app would open. It's currently at the Smartphone Repair Center awaiting a new battery. The fingerprint sensor was unresponsive when I turned the phone in. I hope that this is temporary and it will be functional once the phone is fixed.

  This pic was taken with my Galaxy Tab a6 using the 15X macro lens. The mini is a Mega City 1 juve ganger I painted at the Gen Con Paint and Take a few years back.

  My Galaxy Tab a6 suffered from a similar problem a while back. The battery expanded and separated the screen from the tablet housing. It's back in working condition. I've configured this tablet mainly for email, music playing and web browsing. It only has 8Gb of internal memory so I can't put a lot of apps on it. A 64Gb SD card has been installed and the tablet is set to store music, photos and videos there. I also plan on using the tablet as a digital camera. I have an Aukey Ora 2-in-1 lens set I can use with it. It has a 120 degree 0.45X wide angle lens and a 15X macro lens. I originally bought the lens set to use with my Galaxy S8 but the case the phone is in prevents me from mounting the lens on the phone properly. The Tab a6 isn't in a case so the lenses can be used with it.

  I'm getting hit with unexpected bills lately. Aurora just sent a statement about me owing over $1,000. I have no idea what the bill is for since I haven't had any hospital visits since my hip surgery last February. Insurance might cover some of this. My smartphone battery crapping out is also unfortunate. I'm getting tired of these inopportune setbacks.

  My life is too damn boring. It's been nothing but home, work, home, work. Every once in a while I eat out with my parents. I'm going to have to look deeper into Netflix and HBO Max and see what they have to offer. I still need to catch up on Lucifer. I watched the first 2 seasons of Harley Quinn on HBO Max and there are many more DC animated movies there. I'd like to see the first season of Salem but it's on Prime video. Money's been tight and I haven't been getting a lot of hours at work. My availability is wide open. I can be scheduled at pretty much any time although I prefer early shifts. There have been some changes in personnel recently so I'm hoping this will lead to more hours.

Personal Shit

   The Hexacubes are in America. The ship docked in Los Angeles a few days ago. At present, US Customs has to clear the shipment so it can be sent to the warehouse to be checked for damage. After that, it will be sent to James for distribution to the backers. It's taken nearly 2 years, but the end in finally in sight.

  The GoDice Kickstarter has been delayed due to a lack of semi-conductors. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon. I've backed the Dice of Death and Dismemberment Kickstarter. The project is already fully funded and two additional stretch goal dice (Which Finger Did You Lose? and Arrow critical dice) have been unlocked. At $11,800, the Vorpal die gets unlocked. They're planning on having dice bags as add-ons. The dUltimate Kickstarter hasn't started yet. The Kickstarter pre-launch page is here.

  I've seen Black Widow in the theater and The Suicide Squad and Snyder cut of Justice League on HBOMax. Other than that, not much has been going on. Looks like it will be another nothing summer. Gen Con's not until September but I can't go this year. The Ren Faire won't be possible either. I'm hoping to get back to gaming soon. Life's been way too boring lately.

And the Conspiracy Theories Begin

   Mike Lindell's cyber symposium is over and nothing came of it. No evidence of election tampering was produced. For sane people, this was because the data Lindell claimed would prove the 2020 election was stolen from Trump was little more than meaningless metadata. For Lindell and other crazy Trump cultists, the symposium was hacked, attacked by Antifa and done in by various organizations like the CIA, NSA etc. Here's some videos.

  Every time someone disproves Lindell's claims, said person is clearly part of some grand scheme to discredit his "irrefutable evidence". He's so committed to his cause that no amount of counter evidence will sway him. He doubles down every time. This stance will not serve him well. Dominion's lawsuit against Lindell and others has been allowed to move ahead by US District Judge Carl Nichols. Dominion is suing each individual or news organization for over a billion dollars each. If Dominion wins (and I hope they do), these people are done. Fox News, OAN and Newsmax might be able deal with having to make these massive pay outs, but the cited individuals will be financially annihilated. This is the bitch slap these lying, motherfucking contard hypocrites deserve. They must be made to pay.

37 Terabytes of Shit

   My Pillow Guy Mike Lindell dropped a massive pile of shit in South Dakota from the 10th to the 12th in the form of his cyber symposium. This symposium was supposed to present "irrefutable evidence" that China hacked the 2020 election and switched votes from Trump to Biden. The results were FAR less than spectacular.

  So, on Aug. 13th, the Big Lie will be revealed and Trump will be reinstated as President. Did that happen? No. Biden's still President. Trump's still a narcissistic, xenophobic, misogynistic, orange haired loser.

What exactly did Lindell present at his symposium? Nothing more than a 37 terabyte stream of cyber diarrhea flowing out of Lindell's ass and down America's left leg.

  Lindell wants to bring his so called "irrefutable evidence" before the Supreme Court in the belief that they will vote 9-0 in his favor and reinstate Trump. Why doesn't he do just that? It's time to put up or shut the fuck up. Of course, the Court either won't review his case or they'll vote against it and Lindell will, once again, start coming up with more conspiracy theories regarding Antifa, the Deep State, China or someone else trying to bury the truth. The shit storm will continue. Dominion's defamation lawsuit against Lindell hasn't shut him up. He just keeps running his mouth. If Lindell loses this lawsuit, will that end his demented ranting? Unlikely. This guy's gone off the deep end and he's never coming back. Will the QAnon cultists eventually tire of Lindell and abandon him? I don't know. These people seem to be remarkably stubborn. They might dig in deeper and come up with even more bullshit conspiracy theories to explain away the failure of their predictions.

  The Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits must succeed. These lying assholes need to realize that actions have consequences otherwise this madness will continue. They must be held accountable.
