This excellent piece on how the One Percent is winning big on the rest of our backs during the COVID-19 practice is well worth a read. They screamed and wailed about Sanders or Warren possible implementing a very slight tax increase against unearned income like this when they should be counting their blessings we're not sharpening axes and setting up chopping blocks.
Also, Elon Musk is a dickhead. I don't know how many times he has to tell us before it sinks in. He's not going to give you any money.
Sid Meier took a whack at XCOM: Chimera Squad.
South Florida Coronavirus Update. Nation-wide, a company called Gilead (which isn't worrisome at all) has some promising news on a drug to combat the virus, stirring up the people who were better on fish tank cleaner. Rich folks are planning on keeping their kids at home even if schools reopen and everyone else can go screw. Finally, the incredibly flawed and abused PPP program designed to help small businesses but really was a cash give away to Big Business has another facet of foulness: outright racism.
Iowa governor to residents with their backs already against the wall: Work or die.
NPR to readers: So what if we practiced lazy journalism? You're just haters.
Excellent word. Righteous connotation.
Dissolution of the Union: Not As Great An Idea As You Might Think
A nifty little piece from the Columbia Journalism Review on why the need for "balance" in reporting and why it was a pretty slick move to game the system by George H.W. Bush and Roger Ailes. Another neat piece from the same writer concerning George Orwell and his oversize influence on reality. Plus, a new website to dig on.
Connected to that, the press still pretends Trump's petulance and irrationality is something new after three years.
