Today's Tiedrich rant: Mad King Donny is freeing us from the oppression of paper straws



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/mad-king-donny-is-freeing-us-from

say what you want about Donny Convict, at least he’s liberating us from the tyranny of paper-based liquid-sucking.

Screenshot:


“I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!”

you’re welcome, America.

isn’t it heartwarming to know that — even as unchecked (and mutating) bird flu is driving the price of eggs ever skyward — this is the silly-ass bullshit that Mad King Donny is fixating on? who gives a shit about straws? you promised us cheap eggs, fuck-o.

but this is where Wingnut Grievance Culture has taken us. no bit of quote-unquote wokeness is too insignificant to undo. Sleepy Brandon wanted paper straws? well fuck your paper straws, Donny’s gonna make microplastics building up in your brain great again.



Microplastics—minute fragments of degraded polymers present in air, water, and soil—have been accumulating in the human body for the past half-century. These particles have been detected in various organs, including the liver, kidneys, placenta, and testes.

Now, University of New Mexico Health Sciences researchers have found microplastics in human brains, and at much higher concentrations than in other organs. Worse, the plastic accumulation appears to be growing over time, having increased by 50% over just the past eight years.

Christ on a kazoo, it’s just one fucking horror after another.
