A snarky and snippy news roundup as usual Matt.

Damn it I accidentally clicked Matt Baume’s video, I hope youtube doesn’t count this as a “play” for him as that will only encourage him to make more.

People who say they are "doing their own research" regarding vaccinations really mean they are looking for specious justifications to continue perpetuating their inane, dangerous worldviews.

Hysterical NIMBY Boomers take note:

Alabama IS DYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111OMFG

Alabama population on course to shrink for first time ever as Covid takes toll

“Here in Alabama, we continue to see deaths at a really high rate 
 2020 is going to be the first year that we know of in the history of our state where we actually had more deaths than births.

Our state literally shrunk in 2020, based on the numbers that we have managed to put together, and actually by quite a bit.”

@3 - I could not agree more.
@Matt - Nice video. I enjoy your work in this medium much more than your overly opinionated slog posts. :)

I didn't watch, but know The Handmaid's Tale didn't win one award at the Emmy's. It broke Mad Men's record of nominations vs. no wins. And no Black actors won either, despite a record number of nominations. News isn't that difficult to fact check.

That's some nice whataboutism and deflection going on when referring to a murder in Seattle. Everywhere else is seeing an increase in gun violence, so I guess that means we don't have to do anything about it, right?

A smarter comment would have at least mentioned all those throngs of highly qualified community violence workers lining up for jobs to fix the problem; definitely won't end up like every other massively understaffed social work position in the city. Whatever, carry on with letting perfect be the enemy of good, gutting existing systems, and trying yet another idealistic experiment with no accountability. It's not like the victims actually paying the price will care - they'll be dead.

"Disgusting"? What is disgusting is your sanctimonious and horribly biased "reporting". Ugh.

Man of all the fashions at the Emmys, to make fun of a black woman’s outfit when these white bitches look pretty fuckin dumb too really pisses me off


Are we beginning to understand yet that white supremacy isn’t all pledges, hoods & obvious violence, but the quiet accumulation of racist shit like this, sitting right in front of us? Or are we too inundated with Seattle’s liberal racism to even notice anymore
?

Check your whiteness, brother. Do better. Thank you

@13: Oh please, the "Wait, you can just wear a Snuggie to the Emmys?" caption is hardly a thing to play that card on ... brother. That hideous cloth around any actress of any hue would deserve the same wrath.

If the highway system didn't exist, you wouldn't be able to afford the cost of food deep in your urban paradise, Matt. And if you think rail, sea or air transport of food crops is greener (or cheaper) than a truck on the highway, boy are you in for a shock.

@17,

That's quite an impressive assemblage of random numbers you've provided there! Have you also considered 7, 12, and 5?

RE: Transportation awards.

"“America’s Transportation Awards,” and it is jaw-dropping what they consider award-worthy.... They’re all like this — absolutely disgusting. Every state highway department should be dissolved and replaced with agencies whose sole purpose is to undo their damage."

Look, I'm all in favor of switching to mass transit, but seriously--Lighten up, Francis.

28

@3 and @4 are correct and the rest are mostly out to lunch.

@27,
"@25 Of course your assuming vaccinating millions of kids will result in no side-effects.

I am aware of one 12 year old girl in the trial who became paralyzed soon after her vaccination."

Good god that's some lazy trolling.

31

@27 - paralyzed after the vaccination (assuming that this anecdote is accurate) is not the same as "vaccine caused paralysis."

Frankly, letting vaccine denies raise kids is pretty much child abuse.

32

"deniers"

37

What the fuck

40

Odd tone on the story about rising shooting deaths. Ordinarily it would seem to be in poor taste to use the word "cute" to describe a murder where the body isn't even cold yet, but I guess because the author did it in the service of mocking the SPD, it's clever or something? The fuck?

41

@39,

Nope, not gonna happen! And YOU will be forced to read it. Every single Godforsaken day... For the rest... Of. Your. Life.

@35,

It's too early for you to be this drunk

43

Another example of the SLOG comments being more of an interesting read than the SLOG itself.

@13: Not that I would ever defend Matt's version of the world, but I doubt his Snuggie comment was racially motivated. To jump from a comment about a dress to white supremacy is an egregious foul. Check your civility (or your underwear), brother. Do better. Thank you
.

@16: More to the point, if the highway system was shut down as Matt wants, there would be no alcohol at Pony or Supernova, or wherever Matt goes to write his posts.

@20 - According to leadership in the Seattle School District 2+2=22 when it comes to stupid decisions.

@26 "Frankly what we need to do is just throw our children into Superdome sized pits filled with candy and toys and then just check back on them when they turn 18." I can tell you what will happen when they turn 18 - they be on staff at The Stranger writing SLOG posts.

Sterilize the Ameriban.

@4 Original Andrew: Alabama's population is dropping? Good. Further proof that the MAGA-stupefied states of confusion are dying off fast. The sooner the better for the rest of us trying to stay healthy and vaccinated.
I wouldn't be surprised if the entire Southeastern United States becomes a sparsely populated wasteland within the next five years. It is already a food desert, and millions of people have to drive long distances to get anything close to adequate healthcare.

@33, @35, @36, and @39: Eudamonic? Is that you? Please get a rabies shot.

46

@36 blip: Sorry. I meant @38, not you.


Please wait...
