man what a hill to die on literally. I wonder if he thinks if he waits long enough they will let him go without? Herman Cain would be proud.

Man Can’t Get Heart Transplant Because He’s Not Vaccinated Against COVID​

“It’s kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe in it. It’s a policy they are enforcing and so because he won’t get the shot, they took him off the list of a heart transplant,” Ferguson said.

Brigham and Women’s released a statement saying, “And like many other transplant programs in the United States – the COVID-19 vaccine is one of several vaccines and lifestyle behaviors required for transplant candidates in the Mass General Brigham system in order to create both the best chance for a successful operation and also the patient’s survival after transplantation.”

Part of me thinks she got secretly vaccinated like all the other wingnut grifters, however, she's not exactly the smartest so it also wouldn't surprise me if she really is unvaccinated.

Minor kudos to the guy for not being as obnoxious as many others of his ilk, though maybe he did that because he was with his daughter. But he loses points for invoking the "You are only following orders" line, which, intentional or not, ties to the mask mandates are the same as the Holocaust trope.

I am SO glad that I am retired! These days librarians have to deal with an awful lot of issues that really are not anything for which they have been prepared or trained, stuff which has nothing to do with books and resources. Good for this little lady in standing up to that jerk and insisting that he wear a mask while in the facility!

The most absurd thing is that I don't know what this guy wants in a library when he's clearly not the type who reads.

Probably needed to get something for his kid even though he didn’t want to.

In a lot of public libraries the big drawing-card these days is the public computers which access the internet. People who don't have a computer at home or don't have internet access use what is available at the library.....

In this case, though, since the guy had a kid with him he probably was there because she needed a book for a school assignment.

He also had a cell phone, so all he needed is WiFi. One of the weird millennial things is having the illusion that you can do everything off your cell phone, when reality most things take 1.5-2x longer on a cell phone.

‘Bunch of Idiots’: Grown Man Accused of Spitting on and Shoving Kids for Wearing Masks

Another concerning part of the story is that the police seem to have been aware of this guy but haven’t done anything about it yet. If that’s true, regardless of your Covid views, in what other situation is it acceptable for adults to terrorize kids?

I rode TriMet for years. Never spit on anyone. Never witnessed anyone else spitting on anyone else. Or anything else. Where the hell did people's sense go? It's not as if the company is just now addressing an ongoing issue. This is a new thing. Strange the behavior a public health crisis can bring out in people.

I swear the past few years have caused some people to de-evolve from stupid to almost the animal level again.

I've seen crazy things on the bus and train, but not spitting on employees to the point that an announcement needs made. And I suspect that it's not coming from the usual group of crazies who do all the other whacky stuff. This is an entirely new and different group of crazy people. Who would have guessed a few years back that they were hiding among us the whole time? They were just waiting for the right trigger to let loose their insanity on the world.

I saw a blind guy get on downtown once, put away his cane and glasses and then played on a phone or something. Guess he was just done working for the day like the rest of us.

Neil Young tells Spotify that they can carry his music or Joe Rogan's Covid bullshit, but not both. Spotify makes the wrong choice.

I never used Spotify before and certainly will not now.
