Of course, such a thing could never happen here, especially not in January.

A Lecturer Showed a Painting of the Prophet Muhammad. She Lost Her Job.

You'd think a school called Hamline would be a turn off to the true believers to begin with.

US news headlines of the week include these two stories:

This week, a 6-year-old first grader shot his teacher in Virginia with his mother's firearm. He is among the youngest school shooters in US history. This is the 17th shooting involving a student under the age of 10 at a school since 1970.

And in other news, Moderna is considering raising the price of its COVID-19 vaccine by over 400 percent—from $26 per dose to between $110 and $130 per dose.

Until now, the vaccines have been purchased by the government and offered to Americans for free. But now that the federal government is backing away from distributing the vaccines, their makers are moving to the commercial market—with price adjustments.

Moderna CEO said of the 400 percent price hike: "I would think this type of pricing is consistent with the value.”

This is why I generally steer clear of the news.

In other words, if you want to live and be healthy, pay up.
Or we'll send a six-year-old to shoot you.

Honestly, in all seriousness, America should be hanging its head in shame right now. The limbo pole could not be on a lower notch and they still manage to get under it.

We want other things hanging from a pole.

Interesting study claims that capitalism actually created mass poverty until socialist movements and workers rights were established.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
