Da Snarky Snippets Keep On Rolling

Filosofa's Word

Snarky?  Moi?  Surely you jest!  Okay, yeah, I admit that I am just a bit on the snarky side these days.  Perhaps it is just a product of my old age, or lack of sleep.  Or, perhaps it is … PEOPLE!  Just when I think I’ve heard it all, somebody flits across my radar to show me I haven’t.  And just when we think humans can go no lower, somebody comes along to prove to us that there are new lows being dug every day.


Say WHAT???

Oklahoma GOP fundraising off vaccinations, yellow stars | TheHill (Me: GOP has not problem with anti-Semitism to raise funds and suppress vaccinations at the same time)

The Oklahoma Republican Party on Friday raised funds through a Facebook post that appeared to compare being unvaccianted to being a Jew in Nazi Germany.

In a photo posted on the party’s official Facebook page, a yellow Star of David like the ones Jews were forced to wear to identify themselves is shown with the word “Unvaccianted” superimposed on top of it.

“Limited access to travel within their State, Province or Territory. The bearer may not fly, cannot enter a pub, restaurant, club or theatre. Has limited access to either work, buy and sell goods or have access to services and healthcare,” the post read. “Wake up people — is this sounding familiar?”

Fauci: Amount of virus in breakthrough delta cases ‘almost identical’ to unvaccinated | TheHill

“So we know now that vaccinated people who get breakthrough infections can spread the virus to other people,” Fauci said. “The fundamental basis for the CDC modifying their guidelines and saying now, ‘If you’re an area of a high or substantial trend of level of virus, namely a red or an orange zone, when you’re in an indoor public setting, you need to wear a mask.’ That’s the fundamental reason for that change.” Source: Fauci: Amount of virus in breakthrough delta cases ‘almost identical’ to unvaccinated | TheHill

Éramos tan felices

Éramos tan felices, y transcurrieron los años, y pasaron las estaciones, y unos se fueron y otros llegaron, y cuando reaccionamos, algo había pasado y ya no nos reconocíamos. Éramos tan libres, jugábamos y reíamos, dialogábamos y paseábamos, y transcurrió el tiempo, y una mañana, distraídos y sin sospecharlo, despetramos amordazados y con cadenas, simplemente porque a alguien no le agradó nuestra felicidad y decidió, con otros, hacernos enemigos entre sí y rompernos con todo lo que significaban el mundo y la vida para nosotros. Éramos familia, amigos, compañeros, vecinos, colegas, habitantes, y si a veces reñíamos y teníamos diferencias, ganaban el amor, el perdón y el respeto, y volvíamos a reír y a abrazarnos, hasta que alguien, con otros más, nos enajenó, distrajo, enfrentó y dividió para borrar nuestros recuerdos, historias, sueños, ilusiones, creatividad y parentescos. Éramos, y…
