If your intended audience can't understand your instructions, can't be bothered to carry out your instructions, and/or following your instructions fails to actually solve the problems that they have, you're just masturbating.

Good to see another media outlet covering this. But nothing so far from outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press, NPR etc. This is irresponsible, as the President is speaking about the pandemic in past tense without a fact-check.
WHO leader says COVID-19 is "still a pandemic"
A World Health Organization leader says she is worried people are still too eager to move on from COVID

My wife is high risk so I will keep masking and limiting time in crowds.
One of the most important times to wear a mask is after you have attended a large gathering.
Wastewater suggests there was a 50%+ chance you encountered someone with COVID if you attended an event with 20+ ppl.
You can spread COVID before you develop symptoms, so now is a good time to wear a mask.

Google has ramped up its paternalistic behavior this year, controlling what extensions are allowed to do and whether someone uses an ad-blocker on YouTube, all while collecting even more user data for advertising.
