Now we think she caught it at home before she left 10 days ago.
I'm going out to buy a testing kit for myself.

Fuck.

Occam's Razor.

If he has an agenda to improve the integrity of the court, working against this draft would be a reasonable strategy. He may be the one who did the leak. And, he may have done so in a way that is untraceable, so he is comfortable with the investigation.

My wife just tested positive for COVID.

And she's stuck in Europe on a business trip that was ending tomorrow. (We live in the US)

It's going to be a challenging week.

G'night everybody.
Stay civil.
Keep it in perspective.
Whatever is outside of you is not you. Fight the battles you think you can win.

@Museek
Just a little?!

This is just the beginning, unfortunately.

@socalvillaguy
From now onwards, only women can be candidates for the SCOTUS.

Make it part of the Democratic platform.

As somebody born before #RoeVsWade and had a grandmother berating my mother to get an abortion when she heard she was having a 4th child, I'm totally in favor of a woman's right to choose.

Also, fuck you, grandma.
(You were kind of a shit as much as I can remember. )

JFC, it's a fucking saber-saw.

@WeThePeople
Johnny who?
Oh, shit.....

Another reason to go from CoSo to linked-media and avoid the Twitter cesspool.

@Render @Bemet_Or
This video is, apparently, of Russian forces just northwest of the 57th.
Hopefully all that smoke is from Russian tanks. The village is destroyed.

@Render @Bemet_Or
Damn, I'm glad you provided that link. I've been wondering toooo long what those symbols meant.

So, the 57th is a motorized infantry brigade, 2k-20k. That makes them a lot more nimble.

Seems like a lot of the mechanized (tank) forces are widely dispersed. I suppose the Ukr army isn't planning to use that asset type as a primary defense.

"..in addition to the submarine photo, WorldView-2 also captured a broad view of Sevastopol on Friday, as well as imagery of dolphin pens at the entrance to the city's harbor. Russia is likely using trained dolphins to protect the harbor against infiltration by Ukrainian divers"

EVEN THE BEARS ARE LOSING THEIR RIGHTS !
<see what I did there...>

@Render
Sure, but Ukr's 57th is said to have been possibly encircled by uawardata.com. Doesn't look like a lot of flexibility to leverage if the tied turns.

Here is a perspective:
- In order to rebuild a building you have to demolish the existing one
- Sometimes things have to get really bad for the demolition to commence
- The GOP brought this on
- The backlash from independents may be the demolition

@DimmerMeerkat
I've been there, too.
Crawling up out of it takes discipline, effort and (most importantly) courage.

All hard things can be broken down into multiple easier things.

But, don't own problems you cannot solve. Climate change and this Supreme court is definitely not in your wheelhouse.

I'm now reading Marcus Aurelius' The Meditations. It has provided a lot of perspective on what I should think is important.

@Render
That's great news!

I'm wondering what's going to happen in the area some are calling "The Cauldron", south of Izium? Seems like they are stalling the advance by blowing up the bridge between Lyman and Sloviansk, but they are going to get trapped if they can't protect Sloviansk.

@DimmerMeerkat

This is a tough moment.
Tough for everyone.
It amplifies the personal pain.
That pain is real, but not permanent.
This will pass.

Only what's inside is YOU. Not what's outside. You decide what gets in. You have that control.

Stay strong.
Go outside for a walk.
Look at the stars.
Get stronger.
Please. You can do it.

OK, I misspelled Roe.
Phooey.
