On top of that, my great state of Texas’ governor has now decided people don’t need to eat, either. The North Texas Food Bank had been using 250 National Guard members to help distribute food(2/3 of the manpower they’ve stated they need right now) and apparently Abbott has removed them from that post because he thinks…

I’m in Michigan, which like California, had one of the tougher lockdowns. Restaurants and retail opened back up last week, I think, with reduced capacity, etc.

all the stars for Miss Pittypat!

And employees who don’t want to come back to work are being forced off unemployment or fired.

COVID is tearing through African, South American and Asian countries--nations where it was hoped that the relative youth of the population and higher temperatures might slow it down. Even in places like Peru, where they were doing all the right social distance/mask things, it’s spiking like mad. 

You are not alone.

I agree. Of all the things I miss doing, eating out is not on the top of my list. I miss the food, and I haven’t gotten take out as much as I would have normally, but I’m not going to risk my health to sit in a restaurant when the prospect of social distancing and mask wearing is very low. I mean everyone has their…

This is partly me venting because multiple customers were asking me when we're going to open dine-in at the restaurant. My response to them was more polite, but in my head I was disgusted. Why do they want to?! We don't even do full table service at the restaurant, there's no bar, and the chairs are just regular…

It really feels like since it’s been over shadowed in the news cycle that people seem to think Covid just isn’t happening anymore and it’s making me really, really stressed. Just because it isn’t the number one headline doesn’t mean it’s over. People are still dying.

Rand Paul is still very confident that voting against anti-lynching legislation is a worthy kill to die on.

“There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people...”

Y’all, it certainly seems like a certain Republican Senator may actually be outed by a circle of DC sex workers (see “Lady G” trending on Twitter).

All Fifty-seven members of the Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team have resigned after two cops were suspended for allegedly shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground during a protest, seriously injuring him. Let me be clear: They didn’t resign because they were disgusted by the behavior of their fellow…

No, I think she claimed she was waving.

Of all the founders Franklin slots in the easiest to the present-- he’d be that first gen tech bro who’s still serially monogamous (though not with the creepy age difference stuff- his writings are TMI clear he didn’t really discriminate based on age). 

I’ve lived in the bible belt south my whole life, and it’s only been the last few years that I’ve noticed that there’s always that one guy in the crowd with an emphatic “UNDER GOD!!” or that one woman who doesn’t use the pause between “one nation” <pause> “under God,” because Jesus didn’t put a comma there.

Under God??? But I thought...

I’ve sung the current national anthem before professional and amateur sporting events. Therein, I think, lies my dislike for it musically. :-)

I’m still waiting to run into Harry Van Gorkum.

I’ll take “ways you know someone’s never read the Bible” for 400, Alex.
