- I may be going to Florida this weekend but that's unrelated to the past week's events. - ty97 Jun 1, 10:15 13
  - DVC has plenty of availability. - David Jun 1, 10:48
  - That kind of defeats the purpose of the trip though - eag Jun 1, 10:19 2
    - This isn't ending anytime soon so regardless when I go I am going to want to isolate myself. So it's always going to be [whenever I leave + two weeks] - ty97 Jun 1, 10:22 1
      - Yeah i get it -- nm - eag Jun 1, 10:24
  - Fly or drive? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 1, 10:17 8
    - I've thought about that one a lot. - ty97 Jun 1, 10:21 7
      - 20 hours? Yeah - I'd mask up and fly. nm - Marty Byrde Jun 1, 10:45
      - If you drove, would you need to quarantine? You're pretty quarantined now aren't you? -- nm - pmb Jun 1, 10:40 1
        
        Regardless how you arrive, even by car, you have to quarantine if you come from the tri-state. - ty97 Jun 1, 10:55
      - I think it would be so relaxing to take the train -- nm - decline Jun 1, 10:38 2

        You'll have to book your hotel under an assumed name :) -- nm - decline Jun 1, 11:12

I have no words -- (link) - ty97 Jun 1, 09:49 11
- Laura Dern is in this movie. -- nm - Max Jun 1, 10:16
- I guess I'd need to hear the tone on this one. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:52 9
  - My guess would be that she'd already covered a shit tonne of that material in the 2 years she's been seeing the therapist. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 10:15
  - Good point in the replies - tone deaf or not, it's an inappropriate breach of therapist-patient relations. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 09:55 2
    - Right -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 10:16
    - Yes, that's true. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:56
  - It's not a patient's job to help her therapist for free (let alone just assuming you can ask any black person you know to do that for you) - ty97 Jun 1, 09:54 2
    - exactly this. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 1, 09:57
    - Well, I agree with your IM. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:56
  - Agree cause it almost comes off as sarcasm -- nm - eag Jun 1, 09:54 1
    - Based on the tweet, I am assuming the therapist actually wanted help but that's not the way -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:54
Is Antifa part of Obamagate? Just trying to keep up. -- nm - Dan Rather Jun 1, 09:46

If this attachment works, picture from a friend from Times Square-ish -- (link) - ty97 Jun 1, 09:44 [Image] 3
- What? They're boarding things up? Seems prudent. -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 09:50
- Santa Monica's own! -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 09:49
- It's gone Chris Nolan! -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 09:46
OFFS. Supposedly, the workers for our pool company are COVID positive. We had been calling their office and it was going straight to fax. - Spawn Jun 1, 09:41 5
- I thought you talked to them and they had no excuse for not showing up or communicating? Were they lying or is this another pool issue? -- nm - jnine Jun 1, 11:12
- Update: Three workers. Of course, I am not sure how many total they *have* but I know it is more than that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 11:00
- Well, that will change some things... -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:42 2
  - (Did not see the signs?) -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:42 1
    - heh, this is the company that fills and maintains the thing. This is going to be a disaster if true. - Spawn Jun 1, 09:44
I sincerely hope that whatever the first major sporting event is in the US after the pandemic, that there isn't one person standing for the national - oblique Jun 1, 09:39
Is this being discussed: Are these massive gatherings of people/protests advisable during COVID-19? Is that activity exempt from contagion? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 1, 09:37 16
- Advisable, no. Necessary, yes. The gov. and mayor talked about it today and asked people to take precautions. -- nm - Krusty Jun 1, 09:50
- It's without a doubt going to be a vector. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 09:42
- It's the part that stresses me out the third-most after the racism and the violence. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:41 2
  - Yeah -- nm - JackDawson Jun 1, 09:46
  - This is a good summary -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:42
- I saw a lot of protesters wearing masks. Unlike the ones in MI recently against the stay at home orders... -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 09:40
- I have thought about it a lot and I have heard commentators talking about it as well. I also heard one of the mayors raise this. -- nm - pmb Jun 1, 09:39
- From a pandemic perspective, it seems like an awful idea. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:38
- Given all the tear gas, I hope everyone's wearing a mask. -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 09:38 5
  - tear gas, paint pellets to the eye, rubber bullets. Learn from HK -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 09:42
  - "Don't think of it as tear gas, think of it as disinfectant. You're welcome." -- nm - Max Jun 1, 09:40 3
    - It's just the cops' way of reminding you to wear your mask in public! -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 09:43 1
      - The masks dont help your eyes though when your getting sprayed with that -- nm - eag Jun 1, 09:45
    - And the best thing you can do if you have COVID is cough it out, right? -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:42
- Of course. Those are the people that Trump *wants* to get sick. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:38
- I've seen concerns about that noted by public figures. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 1, 09:38
ok this is scary AF. Sen Tom Cotton. -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 1, 09:26 12
- I hope Twitter stays true to form and deletes his tweet or flags it -- nm - Epiphany - you rang? Jun 1, 10:32
- More from Tom. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 1, 10:31
- It's perfectly fine for our politicians to recommend doing things that are illegal... right? -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 09:57
- Strange name for a King of England, but Trump and the NRA should be all over this. LIBERATE ARIZONA! I mean... ARKANSAS!! -- nm - VMan Jun 1, 09:48
- Illegal or unconstitutional, or both? -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 1, 09:41 3
  - Illegal as of 1978. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:42
  - uncottontutional -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:42 1
    - (honestly I have no idea) -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:42
- That's bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it works out. -- nm - VMan Jun 1, 09:28 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 09:42
- and the followup -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 1, 09:27 1
  - the 2024 primary between him and Hawley will be something. -- nm - Tim Jun 1, 09:27
“Do you think President Trump is capable of making a statement calling for unity?” “I think that he is capable of reading one." [Atlanta Mayor] -- (link) - Reagen Jun 1, 09:19 18
- He may or may not be capable of reading one; the question is would it help matters. I don't think so. -- nm - mara Jun 1, 10:07
- I read the question in the subject line and that response was my immediate thought. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:41
- Bottoms Up -- nm - Max Jun 1, 09:26
- I think Amy is done for and Kamala is the leading candidate. Lizloseson the idea of Senate control. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 09:25 5
  - Harris will have similar issues to Klobuchar if anyone digs. She also issues with what her incarceration record looks like. It's a tough spot. -- nm - pmb Jun 1, 09:28 4
    - She hasn't fumbled her response to this like Klobuchar, though. -- nm - Tim Jun 1, 09:36 2
      - That's why I favor the outsiders. I just realized that odds sites have elevated Demings up to #2. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:38 1
        
        I'd put a fiver on Duckworth. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 1, 10:58
    - I get she’s not perfect for those reasons, but she’s also the safer high profile candidate. - Will Hunting Jun 1, 09:34
- She thinks more highly of him than I do. -- nm - pmb Jun 1, 09:23
- I think Demings has become the leading contender for VP, but Bottoms is working her way toward the short list. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:21 7
  - It's interesting because it's likely that Demmings, as the former Orlando police chief, will have incidents that occurred on her watch that she will - pmb Jun 1, 09:27 5
    - Yup, and Bottoms would have to defend what just happened in Atlanta. Harris was always a non-starter due to her police track record. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:36 4
      - This makes me wonder: if someone is a non-starter for VP, are they also crossed out for a dept. Sec. position due to Senate confirmation trouble? -- nm - Max Jun 1, 09:38 3
        
        Nope, electability is a side discussion. I would still have serious questions about Harris in any significant role, though. -- nm - David Jun 1, 09:42
        
        I don't think so. I can't imagine it would be disqualifying at that level. For VP it's an issue of electability. -- nm - pmb Jun 1, 09:41
        
        I don't think so, doesn't really seem to be the same. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:40
  - Somewhere towards the middle? -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 09:22
*hic* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 09:18 1
- GET TO THE ER!!! -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:19
PJ Fleck is a damn good speaker. U of Minn football HC was on ESPN this morning. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 1, 09:12
Sony is running ads on ESPN for the PS5 games reveal on the 4th. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 09:10 4
- The only way you'll get to see any football in 2020! -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 09:24
- It's time to play "Who The F*ck Is Watching ESPN?" -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 09:17
- saw it. HZD2 or something fun from Square will turn me into a day 1 purchaser - Strongbad Jun 1, 09:14 1
  - I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with my Pro after I get a 5. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 09:23
I don't think the news would be reporting about the WH lights out if that was normal but I could be wrong -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:08 5
- I didn't know the news was reporting it. I just saw randos tweeting about it. -- nm - mara Jun 1, 10:22
- I mean I don't *care* that the lights were out. I figured it was to give the security folks cover, but who knows -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 09:13 1
  - Yup. Snipers in the windows. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:15
- FakeNews! -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:11
- Judge Jeanine? -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 09:09
Fox News hitting the sauce early on B2. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 09:05

- And one with a much lighter tone... -- (link) - David Jun 1, 09:04 4
  - I’m not sure I’d want to be a riot cop if the protective shields don’t cover mr -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 09:19 1
    - They need more time to get armor for The Mountain. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:21
  - "Describe the level of pain I have inflicted on you" -- nm - Baymax Jun 1, 09:07
  - You know he has the Bane voice (Harley version, of course). -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 09:06
They're going to send The National to Prison for Jerks. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 09:01
