Went for a walk this morning and saw a sign that pretty much says what I think we're all feeling...

@Render @phase Black Bloc have been honing their fire setting and window smashing skills in Oakland since the Oscar Grant protests even before Occupy. I have no idea how any small business manages to hang on there after more than a decade of that shit

At this point, all I can do is laugh...2020 is demented

UC Berkeley students sad about missing commencement built a beautiful replica of the campus on Minecraft, and it's so good that the Chancellor and other speakers have endorsed it and are going to join the ceremony at 2pm Pacific. Plus a massive 2-day music festival with a huge lineup starting today at 4pm Pacific! Both on MInecraft and also streaming on Twitch

And here is Day 2 of the UC Blockeley music festival - some really great performers!

Here's day 1 of the UC Blockeley music festival lineup (on Minecraft and Twitch) 4 pm Pacific

For the past couple of weeks, my only "outside" time has been going to my apartment building's back stairs and looking out over the neighbors' back yards while I drink my morning coffee. Finally ventured out onto my street today...only to encounter tons of people without masks...noped right back home again!

@th3j35t3r That, plus if they privatize it, they can turn it into a Kushner family enterprise

@WeThePeople What the hell?

@th3j35t3r This is terrifying. But the Captain is a hero

@estherschindler Hmmmmmmm...
