This allegory is exceedingly apt for our modern American life.
We tolerate so much, and cater to so willingly, our lowest common denominator.
Instead of rewarding excellence and good behavior, we incentivize disobedience and lawlessness.

Covid-19 was not a severe enough disease to justify the close contact quarantines that disrupted U.S. schools for nearly two years. Sorry.

Anyone know why we need "Equitable Access to Literacy Plan" in Fairfax County? Why do we need a "justice-centered approach" to teach reading? Fairfax County Public School are terrifying. Please help replace the school board and any elected official supporting this NONSENSE!!

What most don't realize is the reason: a few hundred partisans select, from a group of partisan activists, which candidates to endorse. The public then rubberstamps the partisan selected.
Not surprisingly, the partisans elected view their role as a soapbox to further their political careers.

We closed schools, afterschool activities, sports, and outlawed playdates.
We closed the fricking playgrounds.
And people on this hellsite are trying to convince me that we didn't lockdown kids?
GTFOH.
Masks & sick people.
If you are sick, stay home! Don’t put on a mask & go about your business. I am seeing so many very ill people w/ masks.
Guy on my bus keeps taking his off to sneeze. Lord help me.

Why are they requiring masks still at my dermatologist??
Kudos to the teen who just walked in w/out one and had to be given one by staff.
This crap is wack.

Our JAMA study on durability of natural immunity was the #2 most circulated JAMA study in 2022. (#1 was a study on myocarditis)
Wow -- the second most talked about JAMA article of the entire year was our paper. Also an Altmetric score near 10,000 is outlandish, COVID really changed the game. @JenLAlejo @martymakary @allanbmassie @teresachiangmd @AmyChang_MD @jonathanmitch_

If you live life as if there are no respiratory viruses, you'll sometimes get sick, and you'll live your life.
If you live your life to avoid all respiratory viruses, you'll sometimes get sick, and you'll have let your life pass unlived.

Because of this tweet, Daniel Kotzin was permanently banished from Twitter.
He stated a fact and then expressed his opinion of that fact.
@elonmusk - why has my husband still not been allowed back on the platform? Why is Twitter still suppressing free speech?

🚨Breaking: FCPS commits to Equal Outcomes over Academic Excellence🚨
At today's Strategic Planning Mtg, @FCPSSupt goes all in on providing "equal outcomes," an objective that will require lowering of standards, detracking, and penalizing high-achieving students for working hard
