My old bandmate, who has been in assited living for ab9ut 2 years, was pout into hospice Saturday after contracting COVID19 for the first time. His fragile health was not considered worth masking around them. This is the third close friend who has contracted COVID19 and died in a medical setting this last 8 months. i am overwhelmed with grief too much to even consider being active against the Confederated TechBro Takeover of 2025. Glad Oregon has a right to die when nothing works in medicine #FUBAR #TODAY #COVID #Masking #GermicideForSeniors #Euthanasia

The #TassieGovt & the ferry fiasco. #auspol #TasPol

Australian 'fiasco' ferry ordered to leave Edinburgh.

The #SpiritOfTasmania IV has been docked in #Leith in #Scotland for three months due to issues with existing infrastructure in the Tasmanian city of Devonport. The ship’s too big. #FFS

A new berth to accommodate the ship, and sister vessel Spirit of Tasmania V, may not be ready until late 2026 or 2027.

Bring in people who are incompetent for the task in front of them, coupled with ego and arrogance, and you're going to go from SNAFU to FUBAR in record time.

All in favour for keeping all travellers from the USA in isolation until tests proof they are not a carrier of #birdflu before letting them enter your country, raise your hand.

And for the record, surpressing information about the spread of a biohazerd level 3+ pathogen with #pandemic potential is criminal.

This is bad. Federal money should be controlled by Federal employees. It shouldn’t be toyed with. If you rely on money from the Federal Gov’t, you should be alarmed and ready for the fallout.

#Trump called the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, and demanded that #Denmark hand over #Greenland to the United States.

According to the Financial Times, which cites five current and former senior European officials, the conversation was a disaster. Trump was reportedly aggressive and confrontational, rejecting all offers of cooperation from Denmark and focusing solely on acquiring Greenland.

Officials described the exchange as “very bad,” with the Danes left absolutely horrified by Trump’s tone and behavior. What was initially dismissed as a political stunt has now left European allies deeply alarmed, as many believe Trump is serious about annexing the world’s largest island.

This is a massive embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. Denmark is a key #NATO ally, and Trump’s antics are raising serious questions about American diplomacy.

That’s right, George. It’s fucked up beyond all recognition.

For the first time since before the American Revolution, the way is now clear in this country for a king. Or a dictator. Hell, Biden tomorrow could issue a directive to do away with the U.S. Supreme Court and he would be immune. Whatta ride.

LOL Merriam Webster defines, but does not spell out, the meaning of "fubar" (or more appropriately, FUBAR) -- unless you scroll down to the small print, where apparently, swearwords *are* allowed. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fubar #FUBAR
