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.
The reports coming out of MPLS also indicate that most of the looting & rioting is either a) looking for provisions to rescue people, like milk and water, or b) instigated by plants.

I'm going to blame my migraine meds for the fact that I immediately pictured a ficus fucking shit UP.
With a side of this, except I can't blame meds right now.
I mean, ficuses ARE jerks.
In tiny personal good news - one of the previously furloughed workers in my department who came back is taking some of my accounts off my hands and while the transition is going to keep me a little busy for a few days transferring knowledge it is already a hge stress relief to not have the responsibility for those.

First Australia burning, then the pandemic, then the murder hornets, and now unruly Triffids rioting?
They get cranky when they're root bound.
Rumor is (as in rumors from journalists backed by tests data, not as in official statement from government) that after we started re-opening here three weeks ago (NOT carefully enough), we have started a second wave. Over 100 new people were diagnosed today in a few clusters, which is the designated stop signal for the re-opening. Sigh.
I have my parents coming over tomorrow for lunch and I'm not gonna cancel that because who knows how long will it be until the next time I'll be able to see them and I didn't see them for more than a few minutes since late February, but I am gonna sit two meters apart and make them wear masks (when not eating) and make them wash their hands.
(A friend just reminded me that a t-shirt of mine is still with her from a demonstration we went to together back when the whole thing started, over two months ago. I absolutely forget that ever happened.)
Thank you for the amyth update, javachik.
Yes, javachik, thank you.
Amy, thank you for mentioning it here. I often forget to look at Beep Me and Press.
Amyth, if you pop in here, I love you, and I'm pulling for you.
Thank you, javachik.
Amyth, buckets upon buckets of love and health~ma.
Thinking of amyth here.
I haven't brought myself to watch any of the video of the MN police killing, but the description is enough to make me want to burn down at least one police station.
