I think masks are important in crowded indoor settings, but there are pictures of me without a mask for at least 4 reasons:

a) pulled off for the picture
b) speaking in front of people
c) eating
d) walked inside and forgot to mask up

None of that changes my masking opinions. I just mask back up and prevent as much COVID as I can.

I think there have been some great "gotcha" photos illustrating the double standards and hypocrisy (photos of that gala thing come to mind), but others seem pretty tame. Not sure what the current position of dems is or what regulations are in effect now.

I just looked again to make sure, and yes, the children in that photo did a better job remembering their life-saving masks than the adult who lobbied to become the VP of the United States of America.

B she posted the fucking picture on her own social media.

fortunately we all get to be armchair covid experts and form our own opinions based on conflicting guidelines from federal/state/local leadership

I think she should have just tweeted about why she didn't have one on. Now she looks like she's trying to hide something.

B's point B is what came to mind for me. I would assume she's there to speak to the kids. It's not out of the ordinary to take off your mask to speak to a crowd.

Our Governor is ending the school mask mandate at the end of the month, I know a couple other states are, too. We'll see how it goes, and hopefully they have a plan to re-instate the mandate if things go south, but no one wanted kids with masks on all day at school forever, right?

Really more the second part of that clip than the first, you're totally free to keep discussing this inanity.

I don't care either, but nothing else is going on in here, so...

I actually don't care for Stacey Abrams much. I'm know she's good at what she does (activism, organizing), and seems like a genuine person, but I don't think she can win on a national level. She lost in her own state. She is over-hyped, like our (now) VP was for a long time. Both of them annoy me. Karen Bass or Susan Rice would have been better.

In their defense, our reptilian overlords probably can't even get the same diseases that humans can, so there is no reason for them to wear masks.

The phenomena is driven by resentful aging women with rapidly expiring eggs, and they will not dissuade me.

The 23 year olds I like, yeah. I'm following the same game plan as Justin Trudeau's "father".

No it's just me and my horrendous taste in women. Good women are so boring.
