I know there is an election going on, sportsing, and Kobe Bryant and whatnot... but did anyone happen to catch the CDC briefing? I didn't stick around to listen to the questions. I was too gobsmacked and overwhelmed - I don't think I could take listening to these fucking idiots soft peddle indifference and inaction amidst a global pandemic.

Needless to say I was a bit disappointed. Short rant to follow.

The World Socialist Website is reporting something that is kind of important. I say that sarcastically, yes I do.

"Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian industry to be prepared to divert all its efforts into war production."

The human race is about to confront it's greatest fear, whether it is capable of eradicating itself from the face of the earth.
