COVID

this is a big part of it, yeah. COVID infection has a chance to cause long-term brain damage, every repeat infection raises those chances, and cyclical reinfection almost guarantees brain damage. and of course, it’s the kind of brain damage which impairs both cognitive ability and reaction time (making drivers objectively worse) and reduces empathy (which makes drivers (bigger) assholes).

I didn't even know that was a thing, but it checks out that a group whose most prominent figurehead included a slew of Jewish stereotypes in her children's novel series would take issue with that.

Fitting that they used the version of the pride flag that omits trans and intersex people while baking a cake referencing harry potter.

Starbucks was never an official BDS target, so not as many people boycotted it.
