I’ll get as many vaccines as necessary. Shutdowns and closures do nothing to help the government, so I’m not sure why anyone would think governments want them. The restrictions are in place to stop the spread of a deadly airborne virus.

I didn’t, but then, there wasn’t some fringe group trying to gather support around a ridiculous position. I want those who did the right thing that I appreciate them.

The unvaccinated are shutting things down. Vaccine mandates aren’t required if everyone did their part and got vaccinated. Shutdowns would end if everyone got vaccinated to slow down this virus.

You know, if everyone just worked together and got vaccinated, vaccine mandates wouldn’t be required

Truckers should just get vaccinated. If my 9 yo daughter can find the courage to do it, so can you!

Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion

Microsoft is acquiring Activision, the troubled publisher of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo. The deal will value Activision at $68.7 billion, far in excess of the $26 billion Microsoft paid to acquire LinkedIn in 2016. It’s Microsoft’s biggest push into gaming, and the company says it will be the “third-largest gaming company by revenue, behind Tencent and Sony” once the deal closes. source

After ruining Android messaging, Google says iMessage is too powerful

Having Google give other companies advice on a messaging strategy is a laughable idea though, since Google probably has the least credibility of any tech company when it comes to messaging services. If the company really wants to do something about iMessage, it should try competing with it. As we recently detailed in a 25,000-word article, Google’s messaging history is one of constant product startups and shutdowns. Thanks to a lack of product focus or any kind of top-down mandate from Google’s CEO, no division is really “in charge” of messaging. As a consequence, the company has released 13 halfhearted messaging products since iMessage launched in 2011.
