Cindy, I think of it like climate change. We have the opportunity to turn onto a course that lets us start fixing the problems NOW. If the wrong choice is made we CAN come back from it - look at Germany - but it'll be a lot longer, a lot uglier, and a lot more people will die.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I have nothing to add to the debate discussion. I couldn't watch them even when they weren't starring malignant narcissists.
However, I do have to say, if you haven't checked out today's Google doodle yet - it's pretty cute. And interactive!

Actually, it's about ethics in dog journalism.

Thrive to spite them
I didn't watch the debate because it would make me so angry.
I did dip into twitter. Many conservatives are trying to make something out of Biden calling TRump a liar, racist and a clown-- how dare they say such horrible things and Trump never said anything horrible like that during the debate??--- I mean they have to find outrage somewhere.
Went up to see Mom and get stuff out of her storage lockers and move somethings around for her. M went with me even though he wasn't feeling great.
Take aways from that- this pandemic sucks and Mom is getting old, not moving enough and I can tell it's taking toll.
I'm out of shape way more than I should be and need to actually figure out someo kind exercise routine that I will do.
Asking M to do anything physical is something I shouldn't do because of his back, and also he got super bitchy and then we got bitchy at each other. And I'm worried his mom will bitch about me bringing more stuff in the house but I also brought some shevling to store it in.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But I never thought I'd see the day CNN called a debate a "shitshow" on air.
Twice. And I stopped watching after Harris' reaction.

I skipped the debate itself, but did catch up with some of the comments afterwards. I did watch Colbert's commentary. oy

Coding and Sleeping
From the comments and clips I think the debate was pretty like being on a plane next to a toddler throwing a fit.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Gud that's pretty much it and MW was offering him placating treats.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hell is drifting off in a meeting that probably won't involve you, though maaaybe it will. So tired. So sleepy.
