Yeah. It's just horrifying.


Extra special fuck you to the handful of conspiracy theorist nuts trying to tell people not to accept evacuation or rescue or whatever from the feds because of weird theories about how the feds will kill you. Look the feds have their problems but the FEMA people really, really, want you to live.

I hadn’t heard about that but okay. I heard the feds were rendering aid but my initial thought was that I hope they are looking for other avenues as well.

Which do you think is more horrifying?

Well, after Andrew, we were taking help from anyone who was offering.

Which do I think is more horrifying from what? FEMA aid, which isn't horrifying at all, or the hurricane, which sort of is?

The "Oh no Ross and Carrie" podcast is coming to a close. I've been listening to it for a good portion of its run. It was a skeptical podcast, trying out quack medicine, attending different religious practices, and anything else that they might apply a skeptical eye towards, but modelled empathy for the believers. (Almost too much empathy, in my opinion they're sometimes too nice.)
