Breathless profiles of vaccine refusers are starting to remind me of the 2016 coverage of Trump voters, and not just because many are the same people. There’s an insistence that liberal Americans need more empathy for people who are very frank about being motivated by contempt.

So I made a mistake and left keys in the car. Someone stole it. I tracked it on GPS the next morning and just went over there and stole it back with the spare. They left a blue gatorade in the car, but not Glacier Freeze. Tasteless. I wonder what they're thinking tho

I had to take a Lyft to the car and explained the situ and said I didn't want him to feel like I was putting him in a dangerous situation etc. No joke he said "No, no this is kind of exciting. I used to retrieve cars for a rental company when people wouldn't return them" LOL

With a vaccine, Covid really is "just the flu" for most people.

Sen. Lindsey Graham just announced that he has flu symptoms and tested positive for COVID-19 despite vaccination. “I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now," he says. "My symptoms would be far worse.”
