Since I was expressing confusion about why people are willing to risk their/others lives to go out to dinner, and mentioned that my adult sons have used lockdown to learn/perfect their cooking, I thought I'd show some.
Son & his wife wanted chinese. So he made Peking Duck.../1
...again, this is what was LEARNED while in lockdown.
And if he was going to make own chinese food, son decided to also learn how to make dumplings.../2
....and son asked for a pasta maker for Christmas. So, rather than a restaurant or boxed..../3
...and why buy donuts when you can make your own?.../4
...or bake a special bread..../5
...or, if you're going to make a cake, learn how to make roulade..../6
....so, if kids in their 20s can learn to do this during lockdown rather than risking lives to go out to dinner - and now have a lifetime skill - learn to cook. Don't kill people for your convenience.
...oh, and two nights ago, our youngest made chicken vindaloo. But dont have a photo.

People tweeting "do not sell" about stocks that have gone up ridiculously because of a flukey situation - heavily shorted, online-coordinated short squeeze - are showing investment foolishness. Squeezes release quickly. If you don't sell, you've made no money. Sell or lose it all
...I'm getting a lot of "this is about hurting the hedge funds." Nope. This hurts ONE hedge fund that took a stupid position. The others? Making $. They have programs that jump in on velocity movements, buying and selling automatically on the way up, shorting on the way down.
...and the one that took the stupid position has already closed out his position at a huge loss. The squeeze worked. But eventually, the short sellers give up, cover their shorts, and there is nothing left to squeeze.
America is unsustainable. You have a minority party that craves authoritarianism, that believes it has the unshakeable right to complete power over the majority because of rules designed to empower slave states. This party bathes in conspiracy theories, attacks allies, poses.../1

...the coup attempt had been successful, Trump would have remain president, thus no punishment. But, because the coup attempt failed, GOP says ALSO should be no punishment. Every GOP president will have the power to invoke insurrection after any losses. This. CANT. Survive.../3
Imagine - God forbid - Ryan or Blake died. Then imagine somebody whose job was to protect them, but instead he ranted about TV ratings & blabbed nonsense that made things worse. Then imagine that man had a spokeswoman, one.../1
...who stood by and echoed nonsense while she and her boss showed absolutely no compassion, no empathy, for all the families who lost loved ones, no different than Ryan or Blake. All he did was say the death numbers were smaller than reported, and his spokeswoman repeated it.../2
...imagine there was a way to protect people - the one recommended by every public health department in the world, including ours - by urging them to wear masks. That might have saved Ryan or Blake. But no, the sociopath and his spokeswoman ignored that because it showed.../3
If they don't believe they committed federal felonies, the worst thing @IvankaTrump@DonaldJTrumpJr & the clan should do is accept a corrupt pardon. You cannot be pardoned for doing nothing. So, every state, every civil case, will ask "What crime did you commit?" If they say.../1

We're likely in for a long-haul threat from right wing extremists. First, Trump @WhiteHouse@HomelandKen et. al. crippled @DHSgov work on it, despite it being the largest threat we face. 2nd, these terrorist have been preparing for what they call the Racial Holy War (RAHOWA).../1
