There's a lovely walk along the Boyne here in Navan. A coffee van with tables and chairs appeared along the route at the weekend. Meath CC would NEVER have allowed that 2 years ago. That's the Covid.

And I'm all done now.

the conspiratorial hot-take:

there are sudden protests in cuba, out of nowhere. protests don’t just dramatically happen there out of nowhere. the yanks are stirring the shit.

but why now? might it be that they are happening now in order to cause friction for the cuban vaccine roll-out? (scheduled to start next month within cuba, with their own home-produced shot, then planning to start sending shots abroad before the end of the year). is the real intention here is to cause trouble for the cuban vaccine because it represents a real threat to the pharma behemoths? it sounds absurd to say it, but then when you look at the completely bonkers stuff that the CIA have tried to do in cuba, it also seems weirdly plausible. the cuban vaccine is an amazing achievement, and explicitly a socialist one. you can be sure that the americans are desperately trying to figure out ways to ruin the party.

ok, taking tin-foil hat back off now

It's entirely believable. I read that the Cuban vaccine is actually more effective than the MRNA ones, and the US definitely don't want to have anything like that coming out of a place like Cuba.

I ended up having a WhatsApp argument with an ex-work colleague who’s an extreme anti-vaxxer and who’s been texting me random articles over the last few weeks. I started arguing back about some of the stuff they were sending on and they actually got so annoyed with me that they’ve stopped texting me back. I’m experiencing huge schadenfreude now.

I had to pull up my lil bro about some conspiracy theory shit he saw on Twitter.

He hasn't been pulled down into that hole yet, but I feel I need to keep an eye on him.

This person contacting me disappeared down the rabbit hole long ago. I have to admit, there was a masochistic part of me that kept pushing me to answer their texts even though there’s no changing this person’s mind at all and the whole exercise was pointless.

It seems to me that a lot of the anti-vaxxing people are just kind of bored/frustrated with their lives so they can't really deal with lockdown and instead like to imagine that it's all a big conspiracy against them.

Sums this person up. Fairly angry in general even without there being a pandemic

an ex-colleague started to disappear down a bit of a youtube hole of conspiracy theorist videos. i haven't seen him in a few years, so i don't know if the slide continued, but we used to say to him there were plenty of 'conspiracies' well founded in fact he'd be better off reading up on, but i guess many of those are complicated and not as easy to make sound dramatic in a pithy 10 minute long youtube video.

The guy across the road has moved on from Delores Cahill being the one true voice of reason to 'maybe mother nature is trying to tell us something'

HOWEVER

He still has the full on algorythm conversational pattern thing going.

 

[Cormcolash]

I can't understand why he'd ever give up on Delirious Cahill
