Made the livestream then.

It sounds like Breitbart is trying to encourage the MAGA crowd to get vaccinated to "own the libs."

Thank you for dropping better help. In the TikTok I saw about this people were tagging pods and this is the first one I’ve heard where the podcasters have said they dropped better help

I saw a TikTok about it. No one knew, it’s awful

Uhhh, can we get that Jezabel article on Better Help? I used to use them before I had med insurance (hated their service btw) and have had friends and family ask me about them before, but this is a new level of "fuck that shit" that I would like to share with my people about them.

Agreed. Now we just need it to be as frequent and unavoidable as the car beep.
Niamh Coghlan
That is a fair point. However, we can say "A mask and proof of vaccination required for entry" is simply the new nagging sound.
B. King
To be fair, with seatbelts your fucking car beeps at you constantly until you put it on. So unless you're deaf you or have a car built pre 1990, the constant nagging sound makes you use it if you're inclined to not do so.

I love it when I'm fact-checked. I don't want to believe wrong things or worse, SPREAD the wrong things.

I read the Breitbart letter a few days ago. It immediately struck me that this was an absolutely brilliant bit of subversive rhetoric. Think about the iq/wisdom (remember, they’re two different dice rolls for a reason) of the typical conspiracy/Q/antivax/MAGAT. They didn’t logic themselves into this position. Thus, they can’t be logic-d (if that’s not a word it should be) out of it. That writer used every right wing, fundy trope to make the article FEEL appealing to vax deniers. And told them to get vaccinated to pwn the libs at their own game. Which is what we smart/left-leaning folks want. It was designed to hook Breitbart readers and get tweeted all over Right Wing Twitter. And get the facts about who is sick and dying out there in a way which just might get a few spite-deniers to take the jab—out of spite. At this point we MUST abandon the Marquis de Queensbury’s rules of boxing for gentlemanly gentlemen. Gloves off. This writer won’t convince everyone. Hell, they won’t come close to convincing more than 5-10% of unvaxxed readers of that vile website But hey, even 5% is another inch towards herd immunity. And that’s a selfish enough reason for me.
