Stressed about last minute shopping?

For many years, our extended family has had stressless end of year gatherings. Nobody needs or wants more stuff so we put money (sliding scale) in a hat along with the name of a progressive nonprofit. Before we draw a name, anybody can make an impassioned plea for their nonprofit. Once we have reached consensus on a name, the money is bundled and sent. The only exception is hand crafted items like hats or scarves.

Question about the timing of Biden's speech

At this point, primaries are over and many of the sane Republicans lost to MAGAts. Would it have been better to do this speech earlier in the year? Or would it have galvanized the cult even further and we’d still be in this same place?

Although Biden appealed by name to sane Republicans, the real audience must have been the independents, the undecideds, the apathetic, the both-parties-are-the-same crowd.

Hopefully, his timing, two months before the election, was spot on and will help with GOTV. Too many Americans have a notoriously short attention span.

Who is Acyn?

I see post after post linking to tweets from some user named Acyn. Most seem to retweeting some RW talking point with little context. What am I missing?

Mixed messages

I was at a local store yesterday. Many people were wearing masks incorrectly. The woman in front of me was wearing her mask correctly but it had a Confederate flag on it. I was frozen so I said nothing.

Let’s label the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers with a name that describes their place in society. No different than mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and rabid bats.

Got an appointment for my Pfizer booster shot

Tuesday at a mass clinic at the county fairgrounds. Got my second Pfizer on March 20 - just over 6 months ago. I’m 71 with no other risk factors. Got my flu shot over two weeks ago.
