    They seem to have lowered the recommendation for a booster to 6 months after your last vaccine shot. Thanks unvaccinated horde.

    ==They seem to have lowered the recommendation for a booster to 6 months after your last vaccine shot. Thanks unvaccinated horde.==

    That would put my booster schedule to early October. About the time I always get my annual flu shot (although last year I did it in mid-September at one of the Springfield Clinic drive thru labs since due to Covid there wasn’t the state employee flu shot clinics–and I assume due to Delta that will be the case again this year).

    Adult stupid is what is eating me. I will never understand nor be able to tolerate willfully ignorant adults.

    Q for the OpenThread. What’s up with Mark Curran - saw a blurb this morning about God telling him to run for S. Ct.. I know nothing about him but this quote is kinda weird — Freemasons - is that code for something else?? — - “We are taking on the Establishment, the Party Hacks, the Freemasons and those that could care less that Individual Liberty and Conscience Protection are no longer cherished or protected,”


  5. - very old soil - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 8:45 am:

    During the revolutionary era, (Free) Masons of note included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Otis, and Paul Revere.

    All the best to that Netflix show, looking forward to seeing how this plays out, with real hope for success. Party on, Chicago Party Aunt.


  7. - In 630 - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:03 am:

    If a fun Chicago-centric twitter was going to get an animated TV show I would’ve picked Sue the T Rex, to be honest


  8. - WestBurbs - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:06 am:

    A bit of Google research shows that the current Freemason conspiracy guys tend to equate Freemasons with Jewish bankers to get the “Judeo-Masonic” conspiracy mash-up. No idea whether Curran is referencing that nasty anti-semitic theory, or maybe he just hates Paul Revere, or maybe something else. Guess I learn something new every day….


  9. - Ron Burgundy - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:06 am:

    -is that code for something else??-

    It’s code for being a whacked out conspiracy theorist.


  10. - Northsider - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:08 am:

    The Twitter machine seems to be broken this morning but when it’s back, look for the CPA @ 2-minute trailer. The 17th can’t come quickly enough.


  11. - Bruce( no not him) - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:17 am:

    I was OK with the Party Aunt till I found out, (spoiler alert) It’s a guy


  12. - Cable Line Beer Gardener - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:29 am:

    what’s eating me? Minute pirate bugs. such a little bug with a big bite.


  13. - Grandson of Man - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:29 am:

    The people taking ivermectin to treat COVID are sheeple, no pun intended.

    But if we combine livestock de-wormer with household disinfectant injections, will that double the efficacy?

    “Let’s deny an FDA approved vaccine but take an unproven hardware store animal health product.” Ugh.


  14. - Just Me 2 - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 9:40 am:

    If swearing were allowed I would use it right now. I am so mad at the anti-vaxers (who are usually anti-maskers) that are allowing the virus to spread, and are responsible for the mitigation efforts the rest of us now have to follow.

    If you don’t want to get the vaccine, fine, stay at home and let the rest of us go about our lives. My work (and my personal income) is directly tied to mitigation efforts. When I come across someone who doesn’t want to get vaccinated I secretly hope they get so sick they have lifetime ailments and their insurance company doesn’t pay for all their COVID-related healthcare.


  15. - Amalia - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 10:09 am:

    yeah, Party Aunt as a guy was quite disappointing, but that she will be voiced by Lauren Ash is huge in my opinion. the snark is massive in that actor, she’s just great.


  16. - Rabble - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 11:50 am:

    Makes me thankful that I don’t watch the Netflix


  17. - Lurker - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 1:19 pm:

    If Mark Curran is not crazy mad, as well as each separately, then he stopped breathing, which he declared he would rather have his son do instead of missing senior year football.


  18. - Sonny - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 2:37 pm:

    That’s a New York, not Chicago, style front stoop.


  19. - Amalia - Friday, Aug 27, 21 @ 4:09 pm:

    if you have it, turn on Deep Tracks on S/SM, which I did while running errands. until labor day it is all Stones. really sad to look at the car screen and see RIP Charlie Watts. rocking in my car and feeling so sad about Charlie.
