WTF is going on? Reality up for grabs.

Dear you,


Reality – the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.

Is anything real-ly happening?  Trump caught the big C.   Some Trumpers theorize POTUS was purposely infected with Covid-19 by the left.  Some lefties (including me) suggest he wasn’t infected, just faking it for sympathy or to “disprove” the danger of the virus.  Back to confusion and absolutely no certainty about what is and what isn’t.

Here in Seagrove Beach, Earth 2, the show goes on with more mass invasions of huge families and kids on school break(s) that seem to be endless.  Update on distancing:  non-existent here.  Update on masking:  as before, “you decide!”  According to one anonymous invader not-chilling on his balcony perpendicular to mine:  “I love being in a place where I’m free.”  Yes, darling, feel free to inject disinfectant too.  As you wish. I wonder what this gentleman's Trump-Covid theories are? They might be valid.  Why not?  Who the hell knows?

So once again let’s look at some headlines. Which are from the fabulous satirical site The Onion and which are from “real” news sites?

 Rudy Giuliani Tests Positive For Slew Of Obscure Bat Diseases Unrelated To Covid-19

The Key To Running Fast?  A Big Butt, According To New Research

Kamala Harris Admits She Only Supports Biden Because She Hates Trump

Out Of This World:  24 Planets May Be More “habitable” Than Earth, Astronomers Say

Man Standing Outside Polls With AK-47 Just There To Protect People From Voting

Drunk Student Gets Stuck In Dryer, Has To Be Rescued By Firefighters

I am not even going to say which are true and which are false.  Why bother?  Everyone is believing whatever they choose, because, you know, that is what being free is all about.

Now I am going to work on expanding my butt size so I can run to the polls to vote for Biden who I kinda am voting for because I hate Trump and dodge the gun-carrying Trump army poll watchers, one of which is the mom of that drunk student who got stuck in a dryer because he heard time in the fluff cycle would kill bat disease germs, and then I am going to book a non-return flight to one of those 24 more habitable planets, preferably KOI 5715.01 which is 5.5 billion years old and whose average temperature is a “crisp 53.3 degrees”.  And it’s just 2,964 light-years away. 

Not nearly far enough away from Earth 2, but it’s a start.

Cheers to reality, wherever you may find it.

(And thanks, James Clow, for the meme-photo above.)
