remember when people actually understood that "brave new world" was intended to be horrifying dystopian fiction?

when did it become a social aspiration?

I am not a big partygoer myself, but I think that Jessica might consider bringing something much stronger than wine as a gift if she expects the host to be able to put up with her.

It's at least some comfort that the post is getting ratioed into outer space.

LET'S GO BRANDON!

More like “Cowardly New World Order” and, my dear, it’s in terrible taste to request a gift.

Dear Jessica please research the meaning of the word “brave”

Sounds like a dreadful “party”.

What a pathetic way to live.

CREFS is real (Covid ReEntry Fear Syndrome).

I am not sure but I believe some studies clearly show it to be highly correlated to TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

CREFS may even be a variant of TDS.....

Is this texting of the vax card to the host because the host demands it (!) or a pure virtue signal? "Let me send you an unsolicited proof that I'm 'clean' for attendance to your party."

I’m leery of the vaccinated 😱

My temptation with all the newly minted germophobes, who put singular focus on COVID, is to ask if they keep their toothbrush in the bathroom. Most folks do and it is bombarded with what scientists call a toilet plume. Germs and fecal matter shoot up to 15 feet in the air with every flush. Less with the cover down but all toilets spread germs, microbes, and fecal matter across the bathroom and onto every toothbrush left there. How worried are they about eating sh*t?

Ugh.... why, Qué, Como , Donde

Oh and BTW those rapid tests can be flat wrong. I was infected with covid and it took 2 negative tests followed by a 3rd, positive, to flush it out. Meanwhile, I've been breathing all over your hors d'oeuvres...

This sounds about right for Bay Area. I leave here. People at parks with ample distance wear N95s. Even have them for toddlers. Questioning the vaccine means you’re an evil monster and they do wish death on you. Not kidding. This place is completely insane.

Text copy of your vaccine card? To show you got a shot that won't keep you from getting covid and will mean your nasopharyngeal viral load is even greater than an infected unvaxxed person's? Something every host must want to see.

1. Show up 2 hours late with new beau

2. Text picture of genitals from taxi en route

3. Enjoy private party favors prior to arriving

4. Grab condoms for spontaneous sex

5. Bring extra party favors to share with friends

6. Accept this as how it has been and how it shall remain

All of the media is like this and maybe 20% of the general public, everyone else has moved on.

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico's tyrant Pierluisi has decided to use coronavirus aid to throw a New Year's party for "tourism". To all you hard-working tax-payers in the states, this is how the territory is using your money. (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/puerto-rico-plan-rescue-aid-170657708.html)

And chances are, his invite will read a lot like Jessica "Party Pooper" Aguirre's did.

Jessica is to dumb to be human

I deleted my Twitter account a couple months ago so all I can do is read the comments and laugh my ass off. Endless scrolling and everyone is bashing that nonsense, it's hilarious.

Having spent a week in The Bay Area I can attest to the INSANE thinking (and behaviors) that abound there! While there I went to a ‘fundraiser’ in one of the 9 counties of The Bay Area for a well known children’s health advocacy group that had 250-300 people unmasked people, eating and drinking and listening to the well known head of this organization speak and the comedy of a well known on YouTube satirical comedian. No Proof of V or Covid Test was required for entry! Well weeks later no calls or tracing from The Authorities regarding any active Covid cases that originated at this gathering. Ms. Aguirre is sad, pathetic and mis-informated with her ‘Weekend Party Etiquette’ guidelines!

Sad...get real Jessica. Deprogram yourself from the lies. Jeez... good Luck ! Get a Life...

Funny, since... forever... I skip right to #5. Right in my house with the only other person I care to know or share 1/4th of my wine with. COVID, no COVID. Happy. As long as ppl like Jessica stay the hail away from me. But they won't. Hence the wine. My 1/4 bottle hubs awaits their arrival. Bless him.

Nope! I'll pass. No time for any BS.

Always with the dictatorial jam-down: Accept. Obey. Required. Safety. They think they will come out on top, land on their feet in the new moral order, because after all, they are the good people. Though they won't, they need to check their premises, because they may have another thing coming.

Honestly if you start referring to your party as a soirée, I’m probably not showing.

these fkn idiots are so g'damn stupid...

This is supposed to be revered , somehow? And no, there is no "new" anything. Do number 1 and 5. The rest is virtuous nonsense. But have "fun" if you are capable. (Doubt it!)

EFFFF that! That is not a party I would ever be going to…

Vaxxed and negative Covid test? I know we all know the vaccines leak but good grief.

Loving the comments on that tweet, but surprised that the tides have changed on the twit.

What's the over-under that this girl used to share drinks with half the room at pre-Coof parties?

Expand full comment

She giddily accepts a brave new world. Obviously she was one of the fetuses deprived of oxygen. It is the only logical explanation.

There’s a major shortage of rapid tests so step 3 can’t even happen. Too bad

I think her social calendar will be clear

Her real name must be Karen...

"Jessica..." People - You keep using that name. I don't think it means what you think it means!

FYI. It means, "Karen."

"Journalist."

Hello badcat, I was wondering: if your hypothesis about the vaccines is correct, which metrics should we be watching in the coming days to strengthen the case for it, and which metrics would show that you are that you are possibly incorrect? thanks for your great research and writing and please keep at it.
