One of the reasons i don’t make policy decisions: my solution yo the antivax problem is to develop a bioweapon and a corresponding vaccine. Secretly add the new vaccine into all other vaccines for two years.

San Jose Sharks too. I have a San Jose Sharks hat. I don’t know why. I grew up a Blues fan.

I think about when I played Sims and would delete the bathroom and door from my Sim’s house and watch him suffer. I feel like I am getting karmic payback these days. I’m sorry Sim dude, I didn’t think of you as anything but interesting binary data and was amused by your suffering. I have a lot more sympathy and empathy for you these days.

I have stopped using twitter. Is that enough or do I need to delete my account somehow?

In English, my lips touch when I make the “f” sound at the start of four. I am also pretty sure they touch for one.

Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.

J.D. has never denied it.
