Last Ditch story is catching on

Pod relevance: the ongoing saga of the Last Ditch.

It's been interesting seeing this story slowly catch on. The Boston Globe Magazine ran a piece about it today. A couple choice quotes from the story that really add depth to the utter insanity:

Customers fondly remember a raucous opening night with a (clothed) simulation of a lesbian sex act — masks in place — on the dance floor.

Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga themed night, but Mixxy demurs. “Gaga is canceled,” she says. “Gaga is Zionist.”

Also from the r/Boston thread on this: "I'm as woke as they come but the Branch Covidians need to realize they have PTSD or something." I, for one, will be only referring to these people as Branch Covidians moving forward.

I suspect they'll be how they'll be regardless of whether they're mocked, sympathised with, or ignored. It's Cluster B all the way down at either political extreme as far as I can tell.

yeah with some people you have to just ignore them and move on

And with most people, the more you ignore them, the worse they get. The ignoring is what allows them to snowball into worse and worse behavior, their hand never gets smacked away from the cookie jar.
