Yeah, kind of a bad time to look for a new job though. It is what it is. 

Yup, but then again, super good times to look for a new job are few and far between, anyway! But yeah.

Distance learning for kindergarteners is a shitshow.  No real alternatives, I absolutely get it and I understand the school system has to do something, but god damn.  A shitshow.  Fucking mayhem.  Hats off to all teachers, parents, and kids dealing with this.  You all deserve sundaes, filet mignons, the finest bourbon, and oral when this shit is over.

Hmmm, maybe delete “kids” from that second-last sentence.

[tbarrie]

By the time this shit is over, the kids may well be able to enjoy everything in that list.

In the year 2050, small children will wonder why every old person in the world has calluses behind their ears.

My nephew's funeral was this past Wednesday. It was an emotional affair to say the least. At the end of the service a crown was placed in the casket before the lid was closed for the last time.

RIP RJ.

Maybe its in the Metro section. (Has no clue what the NYT has in it.) We've gotten to the point where people are normalizing the massive death toll from this and we have to avoid that. I know RBG just died and all the other crap going on to distract including the election, but this should still be the number one focus of journalists going forward.

The DOJ designates New York City, Portland and Seattle as 'anarchist jurisdictions'. They will also be all defunded.

My heart goes out to the family of Breonna Taylor tonight. Yet another injustice that goes unpunished. I sense that the Louisville Police Department won't be standing for too much longer.

[NikoBaltimore]

I feel so much anger I'm shaking. I don't want to think what happens next but I'm really hoping the FBI gets it right. I don't feel confident about that though. 

[John from Cincinnati]

Two police officers have been shot in Louisville.

Par for the course at this point. They’re been coordinating with perceived right-wing friendlies for ages. How many videos do we have of them tipping off Proud Boys when it’s time for them to get out of the way? 

[Curt McGirt]

Gotta love how they say two cops got shot but not whether it had anything to do with the protests. Nice little poke with the riot baton right there. 

[John from Cincinnati]

It'll obviously make for an easy pretense to crackdown in coming nights. And this doesn't address that some of the cop shootings during the protests earlier in the summer had boogaloo connections.

And this is before we even unpack what legitimacy violence does or doesn't have in protest.

Turns out one of them shot himself, so....

*yeets self out of thread before I get too political/obscene*

[NikoBaltimore]

So remember how I said yesterday I don't want to think about what happens next?  Well, this is exactly what I was referring to.  I had some things typed out but considering the tone it took I'll take a cue from JLSigman and hold off on posting in here for a bit.
