New report released on how over 100 Marines were given the boot because they were unvaccinated.

I gotta tell ya, out of all the surprising people I hear who refuse to get the vaccine (and it's not all just Trumpster idiots), it's Military folks that are most puzzling. These people are trained to take orders and march into any danger for god and country when asked and they do it without question and do it with no thought about their own well-being. But tell them to get a world-saving Covid vaccination...? Oh sure, NOW they question their orders and say FUCK NO because of... reasons! Fascinating.

If you doesn't get your toes tapping, I can't help you.

Shinichi “Sonny” Chiba died at a hospital in Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, on Thursday. He was 82 years old.

The actor had reportedly contracted COVID-19 at the end of last month and was treated without being hospitalized, according to Japanese media reports. His pneumonia worsened, however, and he was hospitalized on Aug. 8.

If you're single, this song is pretty awesome.

Just in case you want to add another element of terror and unease into your life, check out the new ride in southwestern China’s Chongqing dubbed the ‘Flying Kiss’.

There is not an awful lot of info about it written in English yet, it is essentially two giant statues (one male and one female), overlooking a 3,000 ft. cliff.

“The giant statues, holding you up on rotating observation decks with one arm, bring you up into the sky for a spectacular view that is unforgettable”.

It really requires video to do it justice but it's a hard NO from this girl lol:

Ok I know like many of you, we all get the hardcore munchies but summer coming up we wanna hit the pool without getting harpooned so I've been stockpiling things like baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, raw almonds, bananas, apples because I constantly keep going to the fridge so I figure might as well not gain on this.

What do you keep around for when you get the munchies?

Had Trump not been president:


The Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefense would not have been disbanded in 2018.
The CDC experts embedded within Beijing would have still been in place
COVID would never have been called a "hoax".
The President would never have promised cases "close to zero soon" with no factual basis.
Political leaders would not be hosting superspreader events.
We would have wasted little to no time blaming China.
US citizens would never have been fed misinformation about hydroxychloroquine and injecting disinfectants and warm weather making the disease disappear.
There would have been calls for shared sacrifice to pull through.
The Post Office would have sent masks to every American in April 2020.
The Defense Production Act would have been invoked to accelerate manufacture of protective gear and medical equipment.

I mean, that shit is just off the top of my head.

People are going to crap on anyone's handling of it... but he really never once did the right thing at all at any point because he refused to listen to anyone about it. Now Trump cultists have to double down on his stupidity because they can't backtrack or it will indeed make him and themselves look stupid.

Dow hit 35,000 for the first time ever this morning. Up 12% since Big Joe took office.
