@JoeBiden needs to publicly state and issue an official legal statement that all government-related documents, communications, and communication devices must be preserved. He needs to follow up on that too.

@dnarich Wow, some fantastic photos at your site!
Got my ballot in the mail today...even though I live in the deepest blue of blue states and the electoral college outcome here is certain, I will still take great pleasure in marking my vote against the Orange Covidmonster tomorrow
Rather alarming images from Mt. Wilson just now. I am reading that it may be a back fire - hopefully true: http://hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/wilson.html
The sky looks like the atmosphere of Mars right now. I can only imagine how terrible things are for folks close to the fires! Stay safe, #cosonauts
@corlin I'm sitting across the Bay from SF, but the news report is right - parts of the sky look gray, but not from fog...ugh
@th3j35t3r Welp, I know what I'm going to be seeing in my nightmares tonight!
For anyone interested, British Heritage is livestreaming sunset for the solstice at Stonehenge. (They will do sunrise in the morning as well). Link to sunset stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EZ5cLVOako
@Thumprhare @evistre One of the craziest things I've read in a crazy year
@Render Just seeing one now, but it's an image of Uncle Sam smashing cowering Nazis. That's the only kind of context I've ever seen them here in
Oakland Public Library made a Flickr collection of street art connected to the protests. The sheer number of them is astonishing! https://www.flickr.com/photos/oaklandlibrary/albums/72157714674806701

The second wave is going to be worse than the first, and it'll have been almost entirely preventable.
The third when it hits in the late fall/early winter will be worse still.
I say this so that you will remain vigilant. We tend to get complacent about things that go on for long periods of time.
@flygande_ren I started contributing to my local zoo in Oakland a couple of months ago. I can't afford much, but I hope it has helped them a little

What do you call a Civil War, depression, and a pandemic all at the same time?
Making America Great Again
My God, Emeryville is utterly chaotic. Bay Area cities have been avoiding announcing curfews so far, but I'd be surprised if we don't get them now
