"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

When I went to pick up dinner tonight, an elderly man already waiting for his takeout at the restaurant asked how much longer his food was going to be because he was sick—while his mask was down around his collar. I ran out the door so fast I should have yelled "meep meep!" as I was going.

What is even happening?

Good man, Matt.

We're never going to get through the pandemic, because too many Americans are grievance-addicted morons who are actively courting death while trying to kill the rest of us.

Our wings are not tired.

Some days I can ignore the crazy, other days the willful ignorance is just too much to take.

My niece posted a notice about the big water park up here finally saying they would not open this year at all. She said she was good with it, then one of her friends went on and on about it being no worse than the flue (sic) and you know the rest. Anyway, there were at least 6 spelling or grammatical errors in his comment so I felt all superior and ignored his comment. Yes friends, it has come down to this level of petty.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Update from the Antipodes, or Shutdown 2: Domestic Boogaloo. Here in Victoria our daily rate of new infections has hit around 100 per million population.

The Victorian Premier has upgraded (downgraded?) our State of Emergency to a State of Disaster. Which has legal ramifications, but I mostly just find it bleakly hilarious. Anyway, for the next six weeks Melbourne will be under curfew after 8 pm, and (on top of the other relevant restrictions), we can't travel more than 5 km from your home for shopping.

Exciting times.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...we can't travel more than 5 km from your home for shopping.

Will that be onerous for you? Or for much of Melbourne?

When I peek a twitter through the lens of my passive right-wing account, it's remarkable how much grievance is out there.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am getting my hair cut and some highlights today. 6 months since last very short cut pre-move. No idea what to aim for. I tried looking back at pictures and it doesn't look that much shorter, but I know it was. Also no idea what to ask for wrt to highlights. Caramel? Auburn?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, do you want it redder or golder?

I don't know. I want it different, not so subtle it barely looks like anything changes, but also not cheap.

What are your natural undertones? I think you could also ask the colorist that. You've had red before, right? I feel like that looks good on you.
