"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

FUCK YEAH GA!!!

I second that emotion!

I razor thin portion of Americans think that "I don't even know what a pronoun is!" is disqualifying.

I will take it and fear for our future.

Love to see it. And now Manchin and Sinema have to decide if they each can get what they want before the other goes along with the party instead of knowing they can block legislation with a “nah.”

Can't they still work together to flip the Senate and nullify Harris' tie-breaking power?

They could (and did) do that before. But, really. if either one of them decided to do so, legislation was dead. Now they have to work together to be difficult, and the other Democrats just have to get one on board instead of both.

Thrive to spite them

I posted in Good Riddance and was like-- hopefully nothing bad happens between now and the end of the year---and a few minutes later I catch Penny peeing where she shouldn't be. She doesn't really like litter boxes and it's been raining so she hasn't gone outside and I'm assuming this is how she is showing her displeasure.

I'm glad Warnock won but that race was way too close.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a cold or something but the Covid test is negative so I guess I will be working the outlet sale tomorrow (masked and gloved if they provide them, so hopefully not giving everyone else my cold!)

I was somehow expecting it to take a lot longer for Georgia to get resolved, so a little extra yay for that!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hope at least some people continue this after Covid is declared endemic. Masking shuts down respiratory viruses decently, not entirely. And it shows the minimum level of giving a shit about other humans.

Our wings are not tired.

Many of my doctors reported zero flu infections during the first winter of Covid. Might be something to this hand washing and masking stuff.

I hung lights on my balcony today. I think only one other condo in my building has lights. I am quite delighted with them. I hung 5 strands of icicle lights that used to cover the entire front of my house on the balcony. I doubled them up so that if one strand died it would not leave a blank spot. Only downside is that my tree used to be real visible, but now it is barely seen through the other lights. Oh well.

I think I'll adopt some level of masking forever during flu season (and on airplanes) for sure, because, you know, I don't want flu or other things either, especially as I age, and if a mask gives me some small measure of protection out here in the wilds -- and bonus if I don't unknowingly spread my own questionable germs -- then might as well, right?

Not fanatically, because I don't have that kind of dedication in non-immediately life threatening times, but... yeah tight quarters and crowded in public indoors? For sure.
