UCLBT™ Episode 2.

(Special Bonus: Rerun from last week).

• A thread for those inclined to be glib about herd immunity.

• Dentition effect for baby videos.

At the risk of sounding like I know comic books - I don't - there is an ursine superhero. His name is Ursa Major.

He fights crime in Russia and saves the world as part of The Winter Guard, Marvel's Russian counterpart to America's Avengers.

I don't think he uses nunchucks, though, so you may not have any copyright issues.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

The video showed one of a group of men approach a parked car and brazenly open the driver side door, unleashing a very angry man who quickly showed the masked protester to think twice next time he touches someone else’s property.

The man in the car deftly took down the apparent antifa goon, as the other protesters in the group scattered quickly after the masked man was introduced to the sidewalk.

Don't put all your hopes in the vaccine basket, either.

Pretty much assumed this was a pipe dream. Safe and effective vaccines for a disease with a .4 percent death rate are few and far between.

First, do no harm.

But then there is this vaccine. Not sure of the details, but it looks like it improves the chances of you living, not reducing the chance of catching Xi's disease.

Developing countries have lower-than-expected COVID-19 death rates, and a TB vaccine given in countries with high rates of tuberculosis might play a significant role in reducing COVID-19 death rates, according to authors of a new study.

It's easy to look at a crisis of this magnitude and see that individual development for much of human intercourse, including sexual intercourse, is going to be mangled by Covid. These kid's ain't learnin' nuthin' bein' indoors all summer.

But while my perspective on human affairs is galactically broad, with insights as insistent and reliable as the motion of the planets themselves…

I hadn't thought about this.

That's crazy charming. I stopped reading comic books, roughly, here. (And it's amazing to be able to look up a cite for "Marvel late 1960s" so frivolously fifty years later.)

But I'd bet the Communist-perspective comic heroes made much better books than the gay-perspective characters which (I presume) appeared in the genre in this century.

Sincere curiosity and speculation about a culture so distinct from your own has got to nourish better art than what's created for political correctness.

Is this the shortest presidential campaign or record or nah? don't care enough to look it up.

Kanye West has ended his presidential bid per Fox News

> Is this the shortest presidential campaign

Who knows who'll be in office next. If Kanye pledges his delegates to Biden or somebody, he might be rewarded with a desk at State. Or the Division of Weights and Measures.

Or someplace.

If Kanye plays his cards right, he could be set for life!

UCLBT™ Episode 3.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

Is it just me or every time these antifa kids talk, they all speak with a very pronounced lisp?

Donald Trump totally pwns the libs!

His voters have got to be proud—

With just over 100 days until the election and 30 million Americans still out of work, President Trump promised to welcome white-collar "merit" migrants into U.S. jobs.

Trump gives the middle finger to the poo bear:

Any bets on which judge will overturn this? My money is on that Hawaiian judge that likes to say no to everything:
