My NY sister is visiting and she watches the news for hours. I just can't live in that outrage zone. I put on my headphones and listen to my book.
I'll do what I can, but I still regret the person I became the last time around. I don't want to hate my fellow man. This time is so much worse, and I just can't live in that place all the time.
Cheesy eggs:
All of the government held data is gone. He took it away in cardboard boxes last time. This time it is copying it all on disks that will be used by the oligarchy for whatever purposes they desire. It's done already. It was at the top of the list, just not noticed immediately.
People in genealogy groups have been complaining for the past week or so that the National Archives website (with a huge database of records) has been glitching weirdly or just not working at all.
Marco Rubio is currently the acting National Archivist (soon he will be running half the government.)
Mr.flea is in a meeting at EPA and the vibes are terrible. People are crying. (The Union is going hard though.)
CDC data got uploaded elsewhere by someone who moved swiftly.
My brother is at the International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank. They’ve been told to downplay any climate and gender work, which were leading indicators three weeks ago. (They’re also concerned that if the US pulls out of the WB, they’ll have to immediately move their headquarters, which is currently in DC, to Beijing.)
Honestly they should move it anyway.
Probably, and the writing’s on the wall I think, but he’ll be fucked.
Ok maybe Rubio is not the acting head of a national Archives? [link]
It took literally over a month, but my insurance has finally (re)-approved my migraine meds, after all the fucking hoops I had to jump through for prior authorization of a drug I've been taking for 3 years.
Thank fucking GOD.
I should call my neuro and see WTF is going on with my Vyepti authorization. This is the practice that canceled all my remaining appointments when I asked them to send records to my (hopefully) new neuro.
