The skies over New York are full of ridiculously ominous clouds. Like, come on atmosphere, don't be that way. If this were a movie it would be about 20 minutes before the aliens invade.

Dana: Dentists have said that teeth-grinding is way up this year. Can't imagine why.

Steph: Considering how the current administration has handled the pandemic so far, I would expect them to sell the vaccine to another country, or maybe just smash all the vials for the hell of it and tell Pfizer not to make more. Oh! Or give Trump like 500 doses of the vaccine because he thinks it will make him super-immune, and *then* smash the rest of the vials, especially if someone in his administration has an active case of Covid, because fuck them.
Dana: "Folks, I've had so much vaccine that I'm now immune to all diseases! Doctors have never seen anything like it, they're like 'President Trump, we've never seen anything like it, no one has ever responded to the vaccine like this,' and some people are saying I might not even be human anymore."

The only way AT&T will ever see another red cent from me is if they dig up my grave and find loose change in the pockets of the suit I'm buried in.

sj: Help, I need manga recommendations for my 15 year old niece, and I don’t read it. Apparently that’s all she’ll read right now.

flea: Today the state of Ohio included Ohio on their list of states they recommend avoiding travel to, and quarantining if you do.
Ohio's Steph L.: I try not to travel to Ohio, but I fail every dang time.

Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewey didn’t need to bother to overthrow the Empire. In a few years, the Imperials would have all fallen off of ledges and blown themselves up due to lax Occupational Safety standards.

Steph L.: Anyway, who's got my alibi?
Calli: It wasn't wise of you to break social distancing to watch Bridgerton with me in NC, Steph, but nevertheless, here you were.
ETA: Our tour of pig farms was outside, masked, socially distanced, and perfectly legit. No large bundles were involved and I don't know why anyone would even ask.
JenP: Note to file: Calli should be your go-to for alibis.
