wow ... I stay muted through most Zoom calls, since I rarely if ever have anything to say (the most I've said is that yes, I'm here and I can hear the call)
To amuse you, the story of two women, three cats and a blender.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I blame Bill Clinton for a lot of this, because we knew he was basically a garbage person, but we were weighing it against the good he could do and gave him a pass. I think that passed along to people like Joss as well, because we were used to it.
This, and also I think it's probably a good thing that we look back every 20 years and think "Holy crap, why did we think that was ever okay." It means we are slowly, gradually, painfully, moving vaguely forward?
Our school district's bus drivers basically all have Covid. Or have quit because of insufficient Covid protections by the DOT. So now every afternoon I get an email from the superintendent with the subject line "URGENT! Status of busing tomorrow" that tells me which buses won't be running due to the driver shortage.
ION I'm going to be working from home forever now because my daughter needs to be driven to and from school every day.

FFS, why don't they build a people mover pneumatic tube system already!

Jessica, that's a good point (about looking back). I'm old enough that I can remember when the general business environment was bad for woman and the casting couch was pretty much a given. Some men in power seemed to work on the assumption that being respectful of anyone who didn't control their employment was a sign of weakness; being respectful (if not downright fawning) of those who did control their employment was the way things worked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes, thank you!

Don't be ridiculous, Jessica.
There are no cons.

I used to work for an association for engineers. The problem with a people mover pneumatic tube is that, given a sufficient distance, the people would arrive completely squished (the comparison I heard was "strawberry jelly").
