It's a good thing we have an endless backlog of TV shows to watch.

Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cindy, that is so much. I have to say that your family is clearly doing everything possible to keep safe. That really is all we can do at this time. So much ~ma for safety and calm.
Shit. It looks like the US botched the bombing of Iraq yesterday. This is my surprised face.
I was going to comment, but I got nothing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We just cut the cord last week. So far the only glitches are Ride with Norman Reedus and Talking Dead. I've seen Law & Order so many times, I could probably replay the episodes in my head.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have a lot of stuff recorded on my DVR, and with the sports cancellations, not a lot scheduled to record in the near future. I hope to do some catching up.
Just heard on my radio, so can't link to anything -- CA governor Gavin Newsom just issued an order authorizing the state to take over hotels to house COVID patients.

DH just got back from the courthouse where he paid a traffic ticket. He said the place was empty. Saw 4 actual citizens there to conduct business.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, my county has now declared a state of emergency and declared that community spreading has arrived.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Today's the last day of on-campus classes. My first class had 10 students (out of 63 registered), and the projector was broken, so I couldn't really teach anyway. I just had those ten students sign in and told them I'd give them an extra credit point on something, handed back their exams from last week, and left after ten minutes.

Yay Pearlie!
This is my usual work from home day. Starting next Tuesday, this will be my new normal for at least three weeks. At least it's nice spring weather and I can open the windows.
I found out that our performance reviews, which usually take place over the next month or so, will be pushed back to June. HR clearly recognizes that we will have no bandwidth whatsoever for that kind of pixel-pushing nonsense.
