COVID-19

Family trivia - Evidently a great-uncle (great-great? Who knows. A long ways back) of mine was the dude that founded/established Post Falls. The "Post" for which the town and falls are named. Supposedly.

Fancy.

The Canadian military has mobilized troops over the last several weeks... to provide staff for long-term care homes in Ontario & Quebec! So this is a military deployment I can 100% support.

First they abandon them, then they send the death squad in... canadians...

Interesting follow up to this story, the military submitted a report to both the Ontario/Provincial & Canadian/Federal government's about the neglect & abuse they uncovered in some of those long term care homes.

I don't believe in God and I'm basically against all militaries, and yet I find myself wanting to say "God bless our troops!"

A headline I never expected to read outside of The Onion:

“Monkeys who snatched coronavirus blood samples on the loose in India”

From the Washington Post, May 29.

You have seen 28 Day Later, right?

Saw that at a late night showing at Comic Con.
We hate horror movies and it was a random choice that all makes sense now.
Watched the second half with my hand over my face.

Ugh.

There's a part of me that's now thinking that a bunch of escaped lab monkeys waving bottles of coronavirus would make a far better job of running the world than some of our current leaders.

Hard to argue with that.

Of course it could be that we're just finding ourselves in the middle of a Planet of the Apes prequel.

It would explain the orange orangutan in chief...

A former employer is setting me up for work. Getting out of California with a job waiting in these times seems preferable to winging it.

Yep. I saw some of that that on Twitter yesterday and was all fuuuuuuck. The access to Canada from that state is still a plus.

We had a protest in my town yesterday and afterwards all the paranoid Trumpers went on the community social media to flex about their guns and freedom of movement and stopping antifa.

I actually signed up for Trump’s email onslaught a while back to see what the pod people see and the stuff they send out is worse than Publisher’s Clearing House. They write like seventh graders on meth and Mountain Dew.

I get a lot of misaddressed email (I own several domains and have most of the configured that ANY account @ that domain ends up in my inbox). I was getting FLOODED by Trump email for a single person Daily and multi-daily missives about "Mr. Trump his checking his list of supporters and was surprised that you're name isn't on the recent donors list. We assured him it was a mistake! Please donate $5 TODAY so Mr. Trump will know that you don't support communists and also eat babies!" (I only slightly shit you.)

I finally set up filters to kill all that crap, but daaaaamn.
