The perfect movie scene for the Texas reopening

In what seems to be an attempt to justify the Norwegians’ use of “Texas” as a slang expression for “crazy”, Texas’ governor, Greg Abbott, has lifted the state’s mask mandate and will allow businesses to open their doors at 100% capacity starting March 10th, in spite of health experts’ warnings.

There’s a point in a lot of dystopian science fiction where the interests of business take precedence over the interests of people’s safety, and well, Texas is just about there. Florida’s governor, Ron “DipShantis” DeSantis is likely watching and working on plans to follow suit, based on his recent statements. Welcome to late stage capitalism!

It’s going to get dumber, folks.

Confusing headline of the day

According to the article, the dog walker survived and is recovering in the hospital.

The headline could still use a little work. When I read it, I imagined this scene:

Dog walker: I’m so sorry, m’lady, but I got jumped and they took the dogs!

Lady Gaga: Fool! You have failed me for the last time! **BANG**
