I am Becoming Comfortable…

I am becoming comfortable with the suicidal attitude among these people, and it is not making me the least bit uncomfortable. At this point I say fuck’em. If I have to wear a face mask the rest of my life to get rid of these idiots, I’m more than willing to do so.

From mockpaperscissors:

Churchgoers with face masks will be removed, Tennessee pastor says. ‘I’m sick of it’

A Tennessee pastor threatened to boot mask-wearers from his Tennessee church as some places are taking additional measures to help protect against the more contagious coronavirus delta variant.

“If they go through round two and you start showing up (with) all these masks and all this nonsense, I will ask you to leave,” pastor Greg Locke told his Nashville-area congregation during a service on Sunday. “I will ask you to leave. I am not playing these Democrat games up in this church.”

Locke’s comments at Global Vision Bible Church come as some U.S. communities reconsider face mask recommendations during the continued spread of the delta variant. Locke in his sermon criticized officials for eyeing potential restrictions.

Never Forget

This little quote became abundantly clear to me when I was going through cancer treatment 19 years ago. Some friends—whom I’d known for years—disappeared, while others—whom I’d known for only a short time—showed up for me. It helped me put things very clearly into perspective, and there was much housecleaning performed afterward.

Not a Bad Binge

Invisible City (Portuguese: Cidade Invisível) is a Brazilian fantasy Netflix television series created by Carlos Saldanha. It is based on a story co-developed by the screenwriters and best-selling authors Raphael Draccon and Carolina Munhóz. It stars Marco Pigossi as Eric, an environmental police officer who uncovers a hidden world of mythological entities from Brazilian folklore as he searches for a connection between his wife’s death and the mysterious appearance of a dead pink river dolphin on a beach in Rio de Janeiro.

The English overdubbing isn’t bad, but you really should watch it in the original Portuguese with English subtitles if you can—if for no other reason, IMHO, Portuguese is an incredibly sexy language and a lot of the ambient sounds are lost with the overdubbing.
