Love to avoid a political controversy by very deliberately choosing one side of the controversy

Also, if you're an NBA player, how are you feeling right now about the prospect of being in Florida for two months and not being allowed to leave?

I'm not gonna pretend like I know anything about managing large scale venues, but it seems to me that if you felt you need to have a detailed health plan from the people holding an event in your venue, you maybe should've asked for one earlier than 2 days before the event was going to happen.

Go ahead and guess the result of the vote before reading the rest

At least as of this morning they hadn't posted the full paper from the study yet, just a press release, so there's definitely reason for skepticism for now. Would be nice, though.

Yeah, neither did I.

Phase 3 testing of Moderna's vaccine is going to start July 9th with 30,000 participants. https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-coronavirus-uic-vaccine-trial-covid-19-20200615-yr47lc6tizalbgzva3deadndxy-story.html

The parent company of Men's Warehouse, Joseph A. Bank, and K&G might be the next retailer to file for bankruptcy https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/14/investing/mens-wearhouse-bankruptcy-threat/index.html

You'd think he wouldn't be able to golf if he had serious mobility problems with his arms, and there's also photos that come out from his golf trips. It seems almost impossible that they could keep that under wraps. Admittedly, I cannot explain why he's picking up a water bottle like that, though. I'm like 90% convinced of the theory that his weird leaning forward stance is because he has lifts in his shoes. It would absolutely be a thing he would do.

I, a lib, would definitely feel extremely owned if Republicans continued to burn their own mail-in ballots

It means you should feel free to vote for whichever 3rd party candidate speaks to you most, and people DEFINITELY will not be mad at you for doing so a year from now.

this seems fine and normal

I know there's a theory that the seasonality gets cancelled out some as it gets really hot and people spend more time in indoor spaces with A/C. It might explain why a bunch of southern states are hotbeds right now. But a lot of the same states are states where you'd expect to see lower mask compliance, so I dunno.

I was wondering what had him wound up, but then I just searched Seattle on Twitter and I see that Fox News is really running wild with the whole "autonomous zone" thing and is covering it like Seattle has fallen to Antifa.

So it's exactly like the Boring Company when Musk said he was going to revolutionize tunneling, and then just bought a used Chinese boring machine

he gone

A COVID-positive Great Clips stylist saw 140 customers while infected, but all Great Clips employees had masks on, and they had other social distancing measures in place. There were zero confirmed secondary infections found. Keep wearing masks! https://www.springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=6939

BREAKING: Bad bologna thrown in the trash

Kinda seems like protesting works

The "was it technically tear gas?"debate reminds me of the torture/enhanced interrogation debate, where Bush administration officials would go on TV and say stuff like, "No, we don't actually ram prisoners' heads through walls, we use a special technique known as 'walling'".

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/06/us/politics/trump-biden-republicans-voters.html There's a whole lotta Republicans out there being very non-committal right now. This moment in time seems pretty analogous to the Access Hollywood tape moment in 2016. Obviously, we know how that ended up...

There's not gonna be a definitive answer as to whether the protests caused a spike in cases when this stuff is happening at the same time. A bunch of people have just decided they're done with trying to avoid COVID.

WHAT

The reaction to the Buffalo video that I'm seeing feels like a turning point in this where police forces are going to have to actually try and de-escalate things. It ain't just the people with DSA rose emojis that are upset with this one.
