I bet he did this to avoid an impeachment. But time will tell.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our wings are not tired.
He was absolutely going to be impeached with no friends in Albany, but this saves a lot of time and trouble.

Good riddance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank goodness for small favors!
In other news, the infrastructure bill passed 69-30.
Nice.

To be exact, it passed the Senate - with amendments - and is now back in the House to be passed again.

Yay Cuomo resignation and bill! Boo COVID assholes!!
I had a meeting today that I feared would be awful and involve me being yelled at (client is not happy about a thing that was somewhat preventable; understandable but often this client reaction is to pound in the displeasure) ….but it was actually fine and we spent most of the meeting discussing a different issue entirely. Whew!!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I may be growing just a bit uncharitable regarding the pandemic situation.
I basically tweeted that if I was a doctor or nurse and Greg Abbott called me personally to beg me to come help in Texas, I would tell him to go fuck himself. I am not a nice person.
I can't believe Cuomo resigned. I really thought they'd have to drag him out of the office by his feet.

There's a Ronan Farrow article about Cuomo in the New Yorker today. I haven't read it, but you know you're fucked at that point.
Various Texas ISDs are pushing back against the ban on mask mandates, and various counties are seeking restraining orders against the ban. So that's something, I guess.

Someone figured out how many minutes it took between Ronan Farrow's article hitting the website and the resignation. Not long! Preet Bharara will also discuss what happened on the Insider podcast, dropping tonight, which is usually behind a paywall (but this episode won't be). He's great, I recommend.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sigh...Mr. S didn't go to sleep until after 10 last night, and it's showing. I got home from work to find him upset because his eyes hurt(he went to the pool with the babysitter) and worked himself into a tizzy. He fell asleep for a little bit, then got upset again. Hopefully a good night's sleep will get him resettled.
