I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Getting back into using mutt for my personal email. Forgot how much faster I can read email in a terminal, and how much better it is at threaded mailing list conversations.
