    TBH, I think a big aspect of it is that practically speaking - asshats who won't get vaccinated are also the same people looking for ANY reason to not wear a mask. If we require everyone to wear a mask, it will absolutely improve mask usage among the unvaxxed. 

    I do think you're right in that the mask policy won't be THE SOLE reason for delta going down, but that's not really how pandemic response works. It's all a game of percentage points of odds and allocation of effort to efforts to improve those odds. In the grand scheme of things, mask usage costs NOTHING and applies considerable downward pressure against the spread of respiratory illness. Just wear a fucking mask. It's a pandemic.

    Agreed.

    There was little to no spread in schools during the past year, but that was because they were wearing masks. In our community, the kids were catching it at dance/sports/church where they weren't wearing masks. So if they're not wearing masks in school, we likely will see an uptick in spread, especially because there are so many bug-chasers who, because the school can't make them keep their kids home, will send their kids to school even if they're positive.

    And Delta is much more contagious.

    On Monday night, Donald Trump issued his endorsement in next year’s race for Texas attorney general. You’ll never guess who he picked. Let me give you a hint: It was not the guy whose name rhymes with tush.

    Thus concludes the single most craven political career in—honestly, I’m not even sure how long. Because no politician in my lifetime has brought more dishonor upon himself than George P. Bush.

  4. It was a no brainer to get my teenagers vaccinated and I will do the same for my youngest when he is 12 soon - anything to help prevent more loss of time in school and sports, not to mention reduction in transmission.

  5. This guy reminds me of someone else.

    In the midst of a criminal trial and following his election loss last year, former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody has filed preliminary documents for a potential run at the position again in 2024.

    You've actually figured out the key element of the game.  The only factor that matters is Trump's ego.  And NOTHING feeds an insane narcissist's ego like the 1-2 punch of 1) copiously and publicly shitting on person X, and then 2) person X slobbing your knob saying the functional equivalent of "I love it when you shit on me, you're the best shitter, I love your shit."

    This is not complicated.  Think of how a not-very-bright insane narcissist psychopath would approach things, and you've got Trump figured out.

    Which is why he will endorse Paxton. Sort of like he made Romney kiss the ring for SOS and then axed him. It was thrilling for him.

    How did her shaggy history not shit-can a political career? That’s one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen. 

    1. Post Trump-era.

    2. Would be perceived as sexism and media trying to stay far from that.

    3. The entire situation with her even beyond Shaggy is crazy, but that seems to be a trend/feature in a certain party right now.
