I don't know... I've suspected that aliens would likely have a quarantine zone around our solar system. Or they're waiting on a really big bucket of disinfectant ;)

Everyone else is still just staring and drooling, unable to speak or reply?

Youtube had 20 series, at last check. I forget whether it was 12 or 13 that was my favorite. But lots of good stuff.

What sorts of things do you enjoy? I found Taskmaster and Great British Baking show to be relaxing, but you may have watched both already. I like Nathan Fillion, so I watched all of Castle and The Rookie. I like James Spader, so I'm watching Boston Legal. Follow your areas of interest.

It appears to be something titled "Sister Breeder", which is outside my area of interest, but the image was interesting.

Also good to reserve time for lunch -- your brain works best when you're keeping it fed and giving it occasional breaks.

I used to work at Microsoft and, while there, got used to using Bing and Edge (dogfooding the company's in-development software). But I did the same search just now and Bing still seems to have reasonable results.

And yet, the senate minority leader organized the democrats that enabled this abomination. It's time for him to step down and make way for people who will fight for the America people and not capitulate at the drop of a hat.

I'm glad to see that we have a few representatives still willing to fight for us.

Not making healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans seems to be the obvious one. Requiring the government to live up to its obligations re: SNAP. I didn't expect any relief from ICE as part of this, though I'd like to see that next.

It seems that more than a few democratic senators have lost the will to stand up for the American people instead of just lining their pockets with corporate donations and caving to republican pressure. They should step down and retire and make way for those with the will to fight for us.

Chuck Schumer, who obviously coordinated this, and the senators that voted "Yes" should all resign when, inevitably, the republicans do what anyone with half a brain knows they'll do -- leaving you with egg on your faces.

I suspect a mix -- some are just idiots. Some are evil. Some are both.

You got more done than I did. I went to UPS, sorted a bunch of tokens (for Magic: the Gathering), sorted a modest number of Magic: the Gathering cards, separated out those worth selling, and talked with friends. But on a chilly, gray, windy Tuesday, I can be okay with that.

In 2022, my mother passed after a rapid descent into dementia. 3 months prior, she was in a constant state of fear or anger, unable to recognize my sister or myself. She fell and broke a hip and never recovered after the surgery to stabilize her hip. Her passing ended her pain and fear.

Are the various delightful metal items available to purchase somewhere, or are they all custom, just to make us envious? ;)

It won't change until the kids of the right are the victims (and the 1% don't send their class to public schools, though ICE members likely do).
