Facebook Frolics 0

Yet more fraudulent frolics.

It continually amazes me that folks will fall for stuff they read on a computer screen just because they read it on a computer screen.

Unfortunately, this same gullibility extends to what persons “share” as “news” on “social” media, dodgy websites, and Fox News.

Nor any brain to think . . . .

Last week, a small Central Texas county just west of Austin made national news after its entire elections staff quit their jobs, leaving the department’s cupboard bare just a few months from the midterms.

(snip)

But a new report from Votebeat and the Texas Tribune shows that the harassment and threats that ultimately drove Gillespie County’s elections department staffers to leave their jobs stemmed specifically from activists invested in conspiracies related to fluoride in local drinking water.

We are a society of stupid.

Afterthought:

On a major local street the other day, I was next to someone who had one eye on the road and one eye on his cell phone.

I got away from him quick like a bunny.

I guess they “don’t see color.”

Words fail me.

Aside:

“I don’t see color” is a favorite mealy-mouthed motto of persons who want to pretend that America racism isn’t.

Former Disney employees are suing Disney over its mask mandates.

Here’s what one of them is reported to have said in applying for an exemption (emphasis added) from the mask requirement:

In his request for an exemption, Cribb wrote, “trusting in ‘science’ has never gotten me anywhere and will get many people sick or killed with an experimental poison,” records show.

Aside:

Obviously, this person lives in a cave and walks everywhere and doesn’t use air conditioning or a cell phone or go to a doctor when sick. All those involve that thing that has never gotten him anywhere.
