We had a month when it seemed like the vaccines were turning the tide on the pandemic, before the vaccine-ignorant let the Delta Variant run rampant in their dumb lungs.

Provincetown, MA is having rapid increases in infections, even among the vaccinated. Thankfully deaths aren’t following suit, but it seems obvious our honor system experiment was as doomed as all of us who kept our masks on indoors assumed it would be.

The White House Winter Games

I haven’t watched any of the Winter Olympics yet. The NHL preventing their players from participating in the hockey tournament ruined the only event I’m interested in.

But I’ll take any obscure winter sport over the stunts this administration is pulling.

Olympic Con GamesThe Olympics are a traveling grift that seem to get worse every time they’re held. I’m glad we made a stink in Boston and forced Boston2024 to drop its bid, even if it sank my chances of seeing Ann Romney’s horse prance around in my neighborhood.

I’m more ambivalent towards sports doping. Sure, it’s bad, but it only affects the integrity of “amateur” sports, not the real lives of the people who get displaced by the games and the I.O.C.’s ridiculous whims.
