They say Carson was one of several hundred at an election party Tuesday. Just can't resist those super spreader events. eta: attendees, not infected, yet
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
ltc and Peanut and Stitch should definitely all get together, but only if Matilda and Plei's L can be their minders. They owe the rest of us for how spectacularly ragged they ran all the adults at their F2F meetups at the same age.
To be fair, Peanut is doing a good job of running Matilda ragged once a week. :)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They say Carson was one of several hundred at an election party Tuesday.
The White House, which seems to have no understanding of cause and effect, said that all of the attendees were tested.

So ridiculous their super spreading events. For LOSERS!!
Typed up my "seriously I did not authorize this wtf" fax that I have to send to the bank. Now to go to a branch so they can fax it for me, since who the hell has a fax machine....(the customer service person said they would do it from a branch) SO annoyed and I damn well better get my money back.
Also drowning in work from being out for a week, but am a bit "can't even" again. Because even if this national nightmare of a president is on the way out, he's not yet, and we still have COVID (even if the vaccine news is great!)

“Not dead yet!”
Nothing like calling someone a twatwaffle on Twitter first thing of a Monday morning.
And yeah...Ben Carson. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
You sure do know how to start the day, Barb.
The list of people on Biden's COVID transition advisory board is making me happycry.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Plus the news that Pfizer's vaccine has a 90% efficacy rate! (And you cannot tell me that Pfizer didn't know this last week. My speculation is that they sat on the news until after the election was called, so that Trump couldn't claim responsibility for what seems to be a very effective vaccine.)

Looking to actual scientists and experts for leadership! What a concept. sniff

No idea on whether they sat on it, but he already tried to claim responsibility and they shot him down!

Oh, get the FUCK out! One of my authors -- literally, I was working on his author changes this morning -- is named to the Covid task force! When I sent an email last week saying "Hey, your article was due yesterday; please return it so we don't have to send the goons out," he replied and said "Apologies -- we are a bit distracted with 'current events'," and I assumed he meant the general suspense around the outcome of the election. But no, it seems he meant "I have been talking to Team Biden about being on the freaking Covid task force!!!" That is so cool!
