This isn’t an entirely bad thing, actually. I mean…

I have joined the “esteemed” ranks of those who are blocked on both of Onision’s Twitter accounts.

He’s gone back to his fake “positivity”, so he’s blocking anyone who dissents with him or brings up the fact that he and his spouse’s neglect of their daughter led to him falling through her second story window and cracking her skull on the driveway pavement in multiple places… which was something that should never under any circumstances have been allowed to happen. She should have been watched by at least one parent, her bedroom should have been structured window, and her window shouldn’t even have been possible to open, let alone open like it was in the time period leading up to this accident. But all of this actually happened (and how they still have custody of their children continues to boggle my mind), and it was an inconvenience to him because he had to escort her to the emergency room, where he proceeded to literally send a barrage of BDSM Tweets from his phone as she lay there in emergent services, hurt and in pain. His children mean nothing more to him than results of his actual impregnation fetish and a way for him to control his spouse and keep them around. The writing on the wall is clear to almost everyone at this point.

George Floyd’s life really did matter.

I’ve been continuing to keep an eye on the news since I found out that this happened, and I’ve been reading about the protests and the riots. I’m on the side of the protestors and the riots. This shouldn’t have happened. This shouldn’t keep happening. People may be having to take to the streets protesting and rioting during a global pandemic, but this is what clearly has to happen if we are ever going to see any real change.

Do I even need to explain this block? I do?

This summer — which I didn’t know about until now — I got blocked by the casting director of a few shows, to include Big Brother, because I expressed concern over the fact that one of the HouseGuests had admitted on live feeds that prior to being cast, he was addicted to drugs (particularly Xanax), was scoring them “off of the streets”, was not procuring them legally, was also admitting that production was helping him win crucial competitions to stay in the game, and that when he was one of the show’s “Have-Nots”, he snuck potato chips into the shower away from the cameras to eat it when he was supposed to only be eating slop and we never saw the show name “Have-Nots” again. Not only did they pander to this dude and ensure that he won (and he wound up being the winner), but there was the high likelihood that he could relapse $500,000 richer, which production should seriously have seen coming. On top of that, he admitted that he lied on a lot of the questions asked of him on one of their questionnaires before he even came on the show “because they wouldn’t have cast him if he’d told the truth”, which he also said on the live feeds! He got away with all this!

Bringing up these concerns over the span of various Tweets to the casting director, along with the many other people that… you know, did this too, and expressing concern over the show’s declining quality over recent seasons just got me blocked though. Clearly production had another pet here they wanted to pay…

I mean, this doesn’t surprise me at this point.

Apparently if you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, or been diagnosed with it by a clinician, you are now barred from enlisting in the military… and it also looks like you won’t be able to serve in the military as well. Given the source of this news, I’m inclined to say that this is fairly accurate. We’re talking about something that is known to cause lung damage in a large percentage of those that it does infect, and the very same something that actually caused a global pandemic. This is one of the (comparatively) few illnesses that causes what’s called “ground glass opacity” in a high percentage of cases, or at least those that warrant hospitalization. You also tend to see that in chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), lung transplant rejection as it advances — oh, and SARS. You saw that in SARS too. So for people to downplay how severe this actually is… they need to stop. People who tout the conservative party line of “99.7% of people survive this and get over it without any problems!” need to really shut up about this because well… that isn’t true.

I know that I had seen this mentioned in other news articles, but this practically confirms all of this.

And yet there are still people out there that insist that this is not actually as severe as it is. Still. Seriously.
