Alumni magazine came yesterday. The front cover had -- transgenders. 

The back cover, had a person wearing a mask that said:

"Don/t be a d3x/dt3 - wear the darn mask"

Geek humor. That expression is the change in acceleration with time, which is called "jerk" (think about when a train starts moving or suddenly slows down - the change in acceleration from 0 to some other value is felt as a jerk)

COVID was accidentally leaked from one of the Wuhan labs. The bat virus it came from is only found in Yunnan province, 1200 miles from Wuhan.

So if it got into people naturally, the outbreak would have been in Yunnan province, not Wuhan, where two virology labs are based, and known to be researching bat viruses.

What we don't know is what is really in the virus. It does have some genes from HIV (not uncommon in these viruses), so it could hide something. Or not, but the most likely scenario was that it was an inadvertent release. Maybe even a combination of viral RNA that was not planned.

I thought "Lysenko" was the brand name of a popular hand sanitizer...

My favorites are the “progressives” who flounce around wearing masks that say “because Dr. Fauci said so“.

I wonder how many of them currently have, or at least used to have, a bumper sticker or poster that reads “question authority“.

Their symbol, a bunch of masks instead of a bunch of sticks

If I wrote for the Weekly World News rag, I'd have a story that all this masking is due to aliens visiting, who look sufficiently similar to humans except for their noses, and don't like many people around. Thus, we all wear masks so we can't tell who is an alien, and we socially distance so we don't bother the aliens too much.

And there are people who would believe it!

So an old friend who I haven’t heard from him in quite a while just sent a text saying, “Thinking of you and hope you are doing well:) Unreal and surreal day in DC yesterday.”

She’s a dear person but I also know what her political leanings are.

I replied, truthfully: “ Hi, and thanks for thinking of me. All was quiet yesterday where I live, quite frankly the so-called “social justice protest“ rioting from late spring was a lot scarier and affected a much bigger area.”

I imagine this was not the reply she was expecting, but I’m hoping I did my part to push back a little bit against the official narrative.

Your story is preposterous. 

Everyone knows that the reptilian aliens are equipped with completely lifelike human-face masks. They don’t need to hide anything.

Heh.  Come to think of it, his current favorite game he likes to play with me is that we are “dinosaurs exploring outer space“. Do you think he’s trying to tell me something?!!

And those masks are something, because their faces in the human masks are smaller than when they are showing their reptilian faces.

"Professor Irwin Corey" used to call himself "the world's foremost authority."

He would give short "lectures" that sounded meaningful but did not make sense.

Really?

Irwin Corey was a raving Leftist who did a doubletalk/gibberish comedy act, billing himself as "the world's foremost authority."  I always found it amusing that he billed himself thus, given the popularity of the "Question Authority" buttons among Leftists, but consistency has never been the Left's strong suit.  

Corey used to occasionally show up on TV back in the day, and in the '70s/'80s or something of the sort he was a moderately-regular feature at Leftist demonstrations in NYC, though he was by then on in years.  Here's his wiki.

I remember many posters here in NYC, advertising Leftist rallies for this and that, which had his name prominently featured as a speaker.

My parents used to call Corey's stuff "doubletalk". I guess he engaged in doublethink, too.
