If anyone else is interested in listening along, the ACIP discussion of allocation of vaccines in the first phase has just started - no registration is required.

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.

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.

I’m so happy for EP, and I hope he continues to be able to work in Hollywood in a way he finds fulfilling.
Booking appointments when TCG is the only one who can drive me and also the only one who can drive ltc to and from school is a pain in the ass. I miss my village.

Rory's symptoms sound like Inanna's...hopefully he will also recover quickly!
I'm not that surprised about Elliot Page; I don't really follow him outside of his acting and political/social work, but he's been presenting more male than female recently. I'd been thinking of him more as NB. The main thing is that he's tiny-but-fierce; 100 lbs of courage in a 50 lb bag.
I just got a job offer from a consultancy that's been working on the vaccine distribution plan and I'm pretty tempted even though I don't want to work for any consulting company again. There are so many factors at play with who gets it first and who gets it next, and supply chains so that it can be an annual vaccine from here on out.

I want you to take this job because I know you're smart and competent and ethical!

Wow I'd love to be working on sorting out that puzzle (in theory!).

Experienced bread bakers: Are silicone loaf pans okay, or should I go with something more traditional?

The Madwoman in the Attic (who is a professional baker) scoffs in derision at silicone loaf pans. She says they're too flimsy and will change shape, which will affect the bread baking evenly and the texture.

I haven't baked for quite a while and will admit to being a traditionalist for baking, so I'd have qualms about silicone loaf pans. I received some really nice loaf pans a few years back, when I was baking a lot ... maybe I should take it up again.

Wow, Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) came out as trans.
I can't imagine how much courage that took, knowing how much hate he'll get for it. But fuck those people.
Even the first few people commenting seemed terribly ignorant. Sometimes I think this puzzlement is feigned, and then sometimes I think of my mom, who is super progressive, but also confused about Caitlyn Jenner.
In Covid news, the ambulances are back up. I have a several senior communities and nursing homes north of me, and there have been about five ambulances going by today. It was really high in March/April, but went back down in the summer.
