. . . and here comes Omicron, the latest mutant horror, makes me think of the succession of weirdo Angels from Neon Genesis Evangelion, each one calibrated to kick that human ass a little bit harder, a little bit deeper.
Omicron doesn't have to go it alone, though, for it has a hardcore cheering section of anti-vax podcasters, quisling politicians, right-wing cable news bloviators, and some choice collaborators in police departments, hospitals, pro-sports, and organized religion.
I guess Omicron is a proper villain name, isn't it? Could be an Evangelion terror from the skies, or a Decepticon field commander, couldn't it?
Yep.
Hmm.
I wonder how many more miles of bad road lie ahead.
I guess we're all about to find out.
