Honestly that's concerning.

Well you're a dickhead then

I should have said "face covering". The least people can do when shopping is use a scarf or whatever.

Disturbing number of maskless people at the supermarket today. Dickheads.

Oooh, 4 picks in the 6th round, yummy

Two OLBs, two TE's and a S so far for us.

I'm sleeping like a cat lately. 15 hours two nights ago, 12 hours last night!

I was an Asterix kid. Still waiting on a decent Asterix movie.

Fifty years from now. What does the world look like?

No better time to start eating a vegetarian diet by the looks of things.

Superb essay on the suspended restaurant industry and all the dread and confusion and emotionality of grappling with possible outcomes of this for independent restaurants and neighborhood bars. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/magazine/closing-prune-restaurant-covid.html?smid=fb-share&fbclid=IwAR160KjUY8bOhn-8NJ_t5zhllOhLr3ZDWILwuKo_kEeU8sdAziFgUuuqLuQ My Restaurant Was My Life for 20 Years. Does the World Need It Anymore? Forced to shutter Prune, I’ve been revisiting my original dreams for it — and wondering if there will still be a place for it in the New York of the future.

Money!

It's beyond self parody. It is an exquisite living nightmare.

And now the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/opinion/coronavirus-states.html

I voted for Cute and Cuddly

Staggering that this is happening everywhere right now. Especially in Indian cities which are so congested and old.

Hey, remember last weekend when the President was encouraging armed insurrection against states with Democrat governors? The soap opera continues.

Didn't he play for Villa for a season?

He's understated but still a bit of a live wire. Great actor.

Wow, nice. I was just coming in here to ask what I should watch between 1917 and Ford vs Ferrari.

tu-a, tu-a

that says it all, really.

If you're from Nebraska and your great grandfather fought off Indians and hunted bison or if you're from Georgia and you grew up in a Pentecostal church, your ideas about guns and religion are going to be a lot different than someone like me who grew up in New England. I grew up around a lot of people, in an area that placed more value on education and collectivism than trailblazing pioneers did . It's an old, fundamental schism here that seems as pronounced as ever. Throw in abortion and immigration, and the schism seems unbridgeable. We haven't been helped by an activist right wing and their media flunkies who have been playing a very strategic long game since the early 70's. They demonized social welfare, they ridiculed intellectualism, they lied. And they've indoctrinated new generations of people who are even more entrenched than their grandpappy's ever were. The LA Times had a half tongue-in-cheek piece last night about how we should split up the country because our basic values and world outlook are so different from each other. It's not the worst idea, frankly. Good easy reading on the cultural differences here can be found in this excellent book- https://www.amazon.com/American-Nations-History-Regional-Cultures-ebook/dp/B0052RDIZA/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XMG52ME48GE6&dchild=1&keywords=american+nations+colin+woodard&qid=1587669165&sprefix=american+nations%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1
