This interview is clarifying, and a little infuriating. It's the best explanation I've seen for why the public health messaging has seemed so flummoxed. statnews.com/2021/07/23/how…
On putting the masks back on indoors
For people who have been vaccinated, probably the most important question right now is whether and how likely it is that a breakthrough infection they contract could spread to someone in their life who hasn't been vaccinated, like a young child or grandchild...
It'd be nice if US public health authorities were tracking the data that would enable them to provide a quantitative answer to that question.

Tom Barrack’s bail hearing is starting now. His codefendant Grimes was just released on an agreed bail package.
The court says it has received an agreed bail package for Barrack too. Sounds like he will be getting out today.

Bezos is going to blast off in his—I would say—extra-phallic rocket in about three minutes. blueorigin.com
They’re back on the ground, alive.
All Bezos are out of their suborbital capsule and back on the Texas dirt. Whole thing took around fifteen minutes.
