Two weeks ago the US had an election.
This week the 14 day average of new coronavirus cases is up 79%.
The states where cases are increasing look to me like the states that primarily voted in person and Republican.
This year could have been completely different with better leadership and more understanding, but we are too busy worrying about our current selves to consider what others may need in the future.

I’m thankful I have to return to work today. I took a few days off to celebrate my birthday this weekend.
Thankfully, I will have something to focus on so that I will not be able to check the news all day every day.
BEING LOUD IS NOT THE SAME THING AS BEING RIGHT.
The Week
One of the weirdest things about the internet today is that Brands send you emails and tweets wishing you a happy birthday.
Like, thank you jeans for wishing me a happy birthday, but shouldn’t you be focused on treating your workers better?

I make it a point to point out whenever anyone says “Clever, girl.” in a TV or movie.
Inbox, man. Think about your Inbox. Not your email, or RSS, or whatever, but your mental Inbox. Get it out of your head and into a trusted system.
Seesh, you can’t remember all the things.
Me to myself; channeling my inner Merlin Mann voice talking about David Allen.
I pushed a Tonx as one might say for the first time in a few months and, whoa boy, was the coffee way better than the K-cups I’ve been plugging into the Kuerig.
Mariah Carey’s Dreamlover was released in 1993.
Thanks to THE HOOD INTERNET I now remember that I am old.
Overdue for cleaning.
Vinyl Record Speculators
Nick Heer writing about “The Social Network”
I cannot think of a better pairing of score to standalone film in recent memory than the soundtrack to “The Social Network”. It is also a great standalone record. Speculators have pushed up its price for years, but it has just been reissued with its original cover art.
TIL there are vinyl record speculators.
Also, Nick completely forgets about any Chris Nolan film with a Hans Zimmer soundtrack.
