I'm pretty sure I posted the very same one you posted there some point last year, but I understand that people likely get these things from different sources and may not scroll through every page of this thread and lock away everything they see in their memory vault, so instead of saying I posted it already, I liked it because it was still funny.Sure wish I'd thought of that one.

I generally agree. The news media is and has been for a very long time, fueled by outrage and concern. And that if you want to not be so outraged and concerned, turn it off and enjoy your life. But the message can also be taken too far. Keeping blinders on might keep you happier, but it does actually shield you from the truth (and misinformation). Ignorance is not a virtue. Being uninformed is not a superior state, there's a balance to it, and the balance kinda depends on what's happening.

Given his recent hot takes over in the COVID thread, a syringe may have been the more appropriate symbol.

It's pretty safe to say that fire wasn't started by rioters adjacent to police accountability protests.

I have to ask, a few months back Joe Rogan made some ridiculous Covid related comments, which shortly after he apologized for n a rather self depreciating way. Are these posts referring back to his old comments or did he say something stupid yet again?

Yes.
I think "saying something stupid about COVID" is the default state for Joe Rogan. What's weird is Republicans eat it up. He's a celebrity and they don't discount the things he says on that basis. Wait, did I say weird? I meant predictable, because the things he says tend to be in support of his preferred narratives. There's no "stay in your lane" from them; no "shut up and [do whatever it is that he does]."
