Shit dude. I remember when I started raving back in Chicago in 96 Paul Johnson was the main dude on the house scene. Must have seen him spin 20 times. Only DJ I ever saw at a rave spinning from a wheelchair as well. so sad. Also, fuck covid. Wear your masks and get your damn shots. 😭 https://www.google.com/amp/s/chicago.cbslocal.com/2021/08/04/chicago-house-music-dj-producer-paul-johnson-dies-battle-with-covid-19/%3famp

We know a couple people who have gotten covid after being fully vaccinated. It’s scary. I guess delta is extremely contagious because it stays in your mouth and nose for a while before moving into your respiratory system. This means people can catch and spread it easier before experiencing typical covid symptoms, I guess. Wear those masks, y’all. Although I have been incredibly careful about masking, distancing, etc, my wife and I have occasionally eaten outdoors since being fully vaccinated (but definitely not before). Tonight, we took the baby (not old enough for a vaccine but getting some antibodies from breast feeding) to a outdoor brewery for an early dinner. There were tons of people in large groups without masks. A dude with what seemed to be his extended family had his 2 clearly-way-too-young-to-be-vaccinated kids with him and at some point we started chatting small talk from a distance (picnic tables about 8-10 feet away from each other) about our babies. Nothing too uncomfortable except for when he picked up a toy our baby dropped from the chair she was strapped into and handed it to her but I reached in and grabbed it and he stepped away. When we were getting ready to leave I strapped the baby in the stroller and got up to throw out some trash but when I turned around to return to the table the dad and his 2 kids were gathered closely around the stroller and both of his kids had hands on the baby. The unmasked dad was kneeling within 2 feet of the baby telling his two kids to “kiss the baby” and my wife was just letting this happen. I rushed over and pulled the stroller away and said “I’m sorry but we are being very careful because of covid”. It was super awkward and my wife later told me that she just froze and that’s why she didn’t pull the baby away. We actually got in a bit of a fight about it. FYI, we live in an area of the city with one of the consistently highest case counts, practically double the average. This made me feel like I shouldn’t even be going to outdoor restaurants until at least the baby is vaccinated. This shit is maddening.

I disagree. As a fully vaccinated parent of a baby who can’t be vaccinated, it’s maddening to live in the USA with an unwavering 50-ish% vaccination rate. My life and my families lives are going to be severely impaired by a vast amount of selfish fuckstains for the foreseeable future. Beyond that, my wife has a compromised immune system and the vaccine may potentially not be as effective for her. So fuck that. Mandate everything, imo. Let’s actually end this fucking thing already. It will keep on mutating and getting weirder the longer people give it the chance to.

The goal is to escape from the base but some of the players are secretly infected and are sabotaging the other players efforts. Lots of bluffing. Unfortunately, I think it goes for $300 on eBay. We played with a good friend who is a hardcore board gamer. He also introduced us to Catan, as well as a few other bangers over the years… https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46/medici https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30380/cuba

I sparked up a Trader Joe’s $3 pizza with andouille chicken sausage, fried tater tots, sharp white cheddar cheese, and onion aioli. It was a serious stoner wet dream gut bomb.

Got a red one too 🤓

If someone made me eat shit when I was a kid I would want them to pay for it for the rest of their fucking life.

Ugh. This country is so fucked. If you really want to feel depressed, download the Nextdoor app and pick any random city to read how fucking dumb your average American is. Either that or look at the comments on any incident reported on the Citizen app. You will quickly lose all faith in humanity.

A few years ago I was in the Dominican Republic on a beach and realized that half of what I thought was sand on me was actually tiny particles of multicolored micro plastic beads. There wasn’t much in the way of large plastic debris on the beach so I thought it was really strange that this stuff was everywhere, given plastic’s tendency to not break down easily. Anyway, I think about it all the time because the stuff was practically invisible until you got out of the water and then it was all over you. Fucking terrifying.
