Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez smacks down a Republican dirtbag

A reality check on the prospects for dealing with Covid-19

“When William Haseltine told a group of fellow scientists in 1986 that an AIDS vaccine would be unlikely because of the difficult nature of the virus, he was booed off the stage. His colleagues even threw stuff at him..

“But we still don’t have a vaccine for AIDS,” he recently told Reuters. “We don’t know for sure that a [COVID-19] vaccine won’t be developed, but I can say with the same conviction — don’t count on it.”

In the last couple of weeks the virologist also has offered some jarring observations on the nature of the coronavirus, self-promotion by drug labs, the hazards of rapid reopenings and our global unpreparedness for what is yet to come.”

American Gestapo kidnapping American citizens

I think this is what finally totally broke me this weekend, the realization that there is simply no coming back from this - my gut tells me this is what will be happening across the country on Election Day in November, the targeted detention of enough civilians to throw the numbers towards the dictator. Folks have forgotten the Electoral College was won by a total of just over 80,000 votes in a few key states in 2016, Clinton won the popular vote by more than three million, made zero difference in the end. The Gestapo could easily detain 100,000 people for 24 hours, and that would do it, the Republican terrorists would take over permanently.

And since I posted that on Fakebook last weekend, the douchetator™ is now planning on sending his Gestapo forces into any city being governed by Democrats, even if the governors refuse to comply. We are now in open warfare, all facades are gone.

Here's the article from Salon.

Banned from FaceBook, I rise from the digital dead

So it's a decade after my last post, and I am now living inside of the nightmare I so readily predicted on my former show Angry Human: the United States has fallen, we are now a full-bore kleptocracy being destroyed by a sociopathic, insecure, petty, insane rapist, conman, "reality television" putz with a deep seated hatred of everyone who is not him, with the sole exception of the daughter he has installed in the Gray House. A pandemic is ravaging my country, and we are now banned from entering most of the rest of the world - the wall doesn't exist, but it might as well, as we are all now trapped inside of this shithole country with no hope for escape. Riots in most major cities, armed, unmarked Gestapo roaming the streets and kidnapping innocent civilians, black people being publicly, brazenly murdered by "law officers", a treasury being openly sacked, a double-digit percentage of families about to be evicted from their meager homes, it's a science-fiction movie playing out in realtime, and I'm watching it all unfold in ways my darkest thoughts never imagined.

Once Facebook restores my access, I will simply point everyone over here, as I don't intend to censor myself for their Russian-programmed bots, I've had it with their underhanded shenanigans. I'm going to rev up this blog over the next few months, and satisfy my editorial yearnings outside of their foul ecosystem, so bookmark this page, folks, I'll be indulging my many interests here and look forward to seeing your names in my comments sections. Look, unlike Facebook, I even have RTF (Rich Text Formatting), the little things that get a writer all hot and bothered! FREEDOM!

I'm David Biedny, the Angry Human, and it's good to be back.

Outstanding new iPad synth

 

iPad synth alert - NLog Synth Pro is the single most comprehensive iPad synthesizer that's NOT the Korg iMS-20. It's also a heck of a lot easier to program, and sounds absolutely warm and analog. $14.99 for a synth that would cost a couple of thousand as a standalone hardware device. WOW.

Back in Black

Yowza, Facebook can do a blog damage - almost a year later, and I'm back, ready to get this blog going again. The reason? I've been selected to be a Technologist for the upcoming BYTE.COM, the venerable computer magazine from the golden age of computing. I'm thrilled and honored to have a voice in this important journal, and it made sense to get this blog rolling again to accompany my efforts over there, where I'll be doing a regular column dubbed "The Realist". LOTS more to come. :-)
