Tomorrow forecast to be 97 degrees (F). How early is too early to go out and trim my lawn edges with an electric trimmer? You know, to get it done before it's too hot. But without making neighbors into enemies.

Here’s the simplest of steps: Wear a face mask.

The White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, deflects questions about Trump and masks by insisting that mask-wearing is simply a “personal choice.”

No, it’s not. Refusing to wear a mask is no more a “personal choice” than is drinking all evening and then stumbling into your car and heading down the road. In a time of plague, shunning a face mask is like driving drunk, putting everyone in your path in danger.

PSA - As some of you know, counter.social does not track it's users & does not serve ads.... now we don't let others track our users either.

We're the first Social Network to implement an outbound link sanitizer that strips all tracking from URLs posted on the platform.

Oh dear. Reading this, it seems like I am battling the bug. Nope. I'm fine. Just weird work schedules and reduced live human interaction.

I find myself more fatigued after intense periods of brain work these days (mostly COVID-19, partly overdue for vacation).

My solution: gave myself permission to take 10-20 minute Minecraft breaks after each major task. I think I'm actually more productive and less swear-y.

Next step: swap those for walking up & down a few flights of stairs (the stairwells are almost always empty).

Jeremy Bash(DOD, CIA under Obama):

"POTUS seems utterly gleeful to have learned he didn't receive an oral briefing on this, when in fact his reaction should be exactly opposite. He should be outraged. He should be saying to his NSA, if you don't tell me these things, you're fired."

Things I think about on my lunch break, #135634

Why doesn't a glass of ice water, filled to the brim, overflow as the ice melts? (And yes, I mostly know, because physics -- but it's fun to think about in the practical application)

I'm still looking at this pandemic as if it was a war.

C19 is the enemy. Aggressive, ruthless, always on the attack. Constantly probing for our weak spots and deadly when it finds them.

The social distancing, the masks, the hand washing, and the constant surface cleaning are the only line of of defense currently available to civilians.

Not one or two or three of those things. All of them, consistently. No slack allowed.
