I hate that I'm defending Meghan McCain, but... The messaging IS terrible. She's not demanding to get vaccinated and said she'll wait her turn. But we were told in December that help is on the way and that the vaccine news is going to bring about an end. And now it's, "even if you're vaccinated nothing will change." While I know that's because not enough people are vaccinated, it still doesn't motivate vaccine hesitant people and it makes people think "this is never going to be over, I'm just going to give up now because I'm sick of it." We need to do better at communication. People need to have more information about when they can expect things to change. Right now it seems as if we will be doing masks and social distancing with no end in sight. I agree we have some really serious challenges WRT messaging. It's just the constant centering on herself that drives me up the wall. She could make her point without being like "even me, rich white girl TV star!!" it's annoying.

And they have been talking about it for...10 minutes?

As if her party, who was in charge for 11 out of the last 12 months, aren't wholly fucking responsible for the rollout and ignoring that the work that the Biden administration has done over the last month is exponentially better and they're trying to reverse a lot of the valid mistrust and concerns. Verbatim "So I'm over Dr. Fauci. I think we need to have more people giving more opinions and honestly quite frankly, I think the Biden administration should remove him and put someone in place that does understand science or can talk like these other countries about how we can be more like these other places that are doing this successfully." Someone that does understand science. Fauci. Who is a fucking scientist.

I'm now invested in this hearing however.
They just explained how it deployed, slept for a while, then activated so it was harder to trace.

I’m watching the capitol attack hearing, but I’m not sure how much I will be able to handle after seeing some of the recap. Between PBS NH and CSPAN, I’ve been able to find everything on YT. Though my suggestions are quite confused: political hearings and news shows (which I don’t watch), tiny house videos, dr pimple popper and children’s story time books. I’m laughing at myself typing it out.

Ugh. My governor is going to be testifying before the Senate tomorrow on transportation of all things. He’s trying to widen a number of major highways in the state at the expense of the environment, wildlife, and people’s homes. And at the same time he’s underfunding our commuter rail and the subway system in Baltimore. He’s also mismanaging a project to add an additional subway line in the suburbs outside of DC. His handling of transportation infrastructure in the state makes my blood boil and I can’t believe he’s the R witness. Well, I can believe it, but it still makes me mad. www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-hogan-senate-20210222-i4otaq3ihzdbrc2tbadncpi72i-story.html

That was actually a good question from Susan about exchange of information between public entities and the fact that most software is 20+ years old. There is also no obligation to report/exchange info from private companies

TW 2 months ago, police in NoCal killed a man by kneeling on their neck. The victim was a Hispanic gentleman undergoing a mental health episode. His mother was holding him and he was calming him down when cops arrived. They did not assess the situation, just grabbed him from his mother and, ultimately, killed him. The family is suing for wrongful death. www.cnn.com/2021/02/23/us/angelo-quinto-antioch-police-department-death-trnd/index.html

I think it's a unity horse here that Megan McCain is entirely loathsome, no? Absolutely! I wasn't defending everything. She is terrible and only cares about issues when it affects her (like talking about how we need paid maternity leave). Trump is absolutely to blame for the vaccine roll out mess and the misinformation surrounding COVID, 100%.

starbuck that case is localish to me so I’ve heard a lot of in depth coverage on it. He was also a veteran though his family says his mental health issues were not related to his military service. It’s just an extra layer of sadness.
