Something something "four dead in O-hi-ohhh..."
I was debating posting rewritten lyrics last night, but just wasn't motivated enough.

Not the same either. Who were the Branch Davidians protesting or looking to cow into submission from within the confines of their compound?
Did the Branch Davidians try to take over the state house in Austin?

My sister sent out a message asking when we wanted to have my mom's celebration of life party. My suggestion was that June is too soon, I'm going to be gone most of July, and since her birthday is on a Saturday in October, why not make it an actual celebration of life and have it then. My sister loves the idea. My brother - a racist piece of shit MAGA Trumper - wants to have it in June because there's nothing to the virus. Note that he's only recently beaten testicular cancer so he has a compromised immune system, which makes him double plus stupid.
But since he isn't going to plan shit or do shit anyway, I'm going to advise my sister to do what she feels best and I'll be there. But after it's over my brother is going to lose my number and get told to never contact me again under any circumstances.

Give him the Michael to Fredo speech.
It's weird, my hardcore right winger brother has definitely toned down in the last while, mostly because despite being weirdly right wing, he's also not a complete idiot, so he sees just how fucking trash the conservatives have been here. Now he's into the whole both sides suck shit style of things, which is at least an improvement.
We can both agree that both Trump and Biden are garbo and have a laugh about that.

The MAGAtts *were* calling for a false flag operation by dressing in scrubs.

A church I used to attend is going to hold in-person services tomorrow. "Please consider wearing masks."
....
....
"consider"
....
....
No. No, no, no. Not enough "NO" to know how much "no" I want to no. No.
There is going to be singing. Forceful exhaling of air from the mouth. 6 feet apart is NOT gonna be enough when you've got lots of people singing without masks in an enclosed space!
There's going to be so many more cases of COVID-19 in Texas in the next couple of weeks.

Published May 12th by the CDC:
High SARS-CoV-2 Attack Rate Following Exposure at a Choir Practice — Skagit County, Washington, March 2020
61 people gathered for choir practice, one of them sick, and 52 ended up infected. 86.7% infection in under 3 hours. Two people died and another needed hospitalization.
Granted, they weren't staying 6 feet apart, and weren't wearing masks, but they did know COVID-19 was going around, and had been told to wash their hands and such. We have no idea exactly how much distancing and masks actually help. The odds of catching COVID-19 may still be pretty high, even with precautions.

No there won't! If you only test 100 people a day, you'll never get more than 100 new cases a day! It's foolproof!
This is a church where I know the minister.

My daughter's voice teacher was in a teleconference about when singing *might* be safe again. Most choir director types I know are taking this seriously.This is a church where I know the minister.

We haven't hit "Level 37" yet, though I will admit to being a little more lax about when we eat breakfast/start school, mostly because I'm not a morning person. But once we don't have "school" 5 days a week to help with distraction...

Don't think anyone would be interested in this news, at all.
Nope, not at all.
