That's better than my first thought, Laura, which was: why couldn't it have been Trump instead?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

What is even happening?
Right there with you, Tep. My first thought was: "Really, Walter Reed? You saved TFG, and you couldn't save Powell?"
Laura, I've had the news off for the last couple of days, because it was really doing in my head. I can't say I feel that much better, but the worsening has stopped. I can't keep being so mad at people and things I can't change.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I am rickety too. The mask somehow makes it so I have no depth perception at all, and I already had poor depth perception.
Sophia, I feel you. The first time I wore a mask I discovered in the face-plant-on-the-sidewalk way that peripheral vision isn't just to the sides and that I look at the ground more than I realized.
Any other fully-hearing person discover just how much they read lips to understand what people are saying?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My doctor and I were just talking about how the mask messes with your vision, as he had to help me step down from the table. I got progressives a year ago, which makes it even worse for me.

I fortunately had a chance to get used to the mask before I had to get used to the progressives... took me about a month to go down stairs without grabbing the rail CUZ WE BE RICKETY!

I already knew I read lips a lot, but masking has def proved it.

Yes, this. It isn't right.

meara, it absolutely means that to me.
People use TFG for "the former guy" a lot on Twitter, but more often than not, they also confess they parse the "F" as the f-word.
Anyhow it means the guy who held office between Obama and Biden.
