Happy Friday, for those who celebrate.

🙃

I am always happy that I survived another week at work. Looking forward to some chill time at home this weekend.

Media flooded with e-mails from GOP staffers who’ve been forced to work without face masks

Rep. Louie Gohmert, who tested positive for COVID-19 this week and, according to Politico’s Jake Sherman, repeatedly “berated” staffers for trying to protect themselves by wearing a mask

Herman Cain has died from coronavirus. He attended Trumps Oklahoma rally weeks ago and came up positive afterwards.

Good morning CoSoNauts. Woke up with a migraine. Ugh. But got the critters fed and am getting ready to go to Plague Central (work) and try not to get infected.

3 confirmed positive there in the past 2 weeks. It has been 10 days since my test and still no results.

We can take off work with pay if we test positive. Being safe without that costs sick days I don’t have.

Essential = Expendable

from The Oregonian(Portland paper)

Portland issues ‘maximum fine’ on feds for unpermitted fence outside courthouse; bill is $192,000 ‘and counting’

Portland Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said Tuesday the city is fining the federal government $500 every 15 minutes – the maximum charge allowed -- until it removes an unpermitted fence blocking a bike lane on Southwest Third Avenue.

One thing I love about summers in Illinois is that while it may get hot and humid later today, right now it is lovely outside and we have windows and doors open, enjoying the morning fresh air while we have breakfast.

Air conditioning is needed here for comfort, but not 24/7.

And I prefer listening to songbirds than a droning air conditioning system.

*too.

I was about to say good morning when I saw my post from yesterday. My iPad’s autocorrect is a PIA. if I type “too” it is apt to switch it to “to.”

It will often also randomly change words like “saw” to “was,” which I caught in this post prior to posting. 🤬

Anyhow, good morning. Time to go make coffee. ☕️

Police: Hell's Angel sparked Minneapolis riots over Floyd

More and more evidence keeps coming out that right wing groups instigated at least some of the violence....

from NBC

“Black Lives Matter. That’s why we’re here … I’m a mom, and I heard George when he called out ‘mama.’ That’s why I’m here.”

A Portland mother explains why she continues to protest.

Awake to early and trying to be quiet so as not to wake everyone else up. It’s too early to get up and make coffee.

The one other creature in the house who’s awake is my cat. She’s purring and trying to get between my face and my iPad. I think she’s trying to tell me to put it away and go back to sleep.

Trump’s Pitch Announcement Was News to the Yankees, Report Says
CURVEBALL

President Trump’s announcement last week that he’d be throwing the opening pitch at a Yankees game on Aug. 15 shocked his own staffers and the New York team—because it hadn’t actually been scheduled, The New York Times reports.

I have been so impressed with the videos that VoteVets is doing this year. One 🔥 after another.

This one is one of their best, though:

@Myrth @michaelredmond
Just donated... Thanks for a reminder that I can't sit by and do nothing. Donating to
ACLU and FFRF are my way...

Bill Nye the Science Guy on ReidOut:

The number one thing you can do about is VOTE.

Just a reminder to the middle class:

Your taxes aren’t high because of welfare queens, food stamps, and immigrants. Your taxes are high because the tax code was written by the richest ppl in the country and they’ve chosen not to pay shit.

@th3j35t3r I am on my iPad and using the desktop site. It is a little wonky atm and the tv channels aren’t showing. Will fiddle with it and try re-logging again.

I tried logging out and back in again. No 401 error this time. But still cannot log into my pro dashboard.


Very noob question from an old cat lady, so please bear with me.

I just went to a pro account. Logged out and back in. Had a 401 error, but made it back ok.

Tried to go to COSO Pro and it says I have an invalid password... but I am HERE, so my password obviously works.

I was able to look through the movies in COSO On Demand.

Where do I find the news channels? And how do I get into the Pro link?

Thanks!

In a couple weeks it will be time to request our mail in ballots. Once we get ours, I am going to vote EARLY this year.

If you have mail in ballots in your state, request one and vote safely from home.
