This comment from Minneapolis city council member Andrew Johnson on The Daily is kind of amazing in this current moment. He’s chuckling here about how his pledge to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department actually meant nothing. While politicians have always had to have their feet held to the fire, the Trump presidency has loosened up many constraints for them. Lindsey Graham and this guy know they can just say, I lied, what are you gonna do about it? and don’t even need to do any obligatory governing in the directions of their commitments. Words mean nothing now.

Special meeting comment:
To the council:
We have seen city manager DePasquale shrug off requests from the democratically elected City Council to explain his failure to do things he was asked to do, most obviously when he was asked to start on a municipal broadband plan for Cambridge. These actions make him a de facto mayor that was never elected.
I want this reconsideration of the city charter, ultimately, to ensure this kind of problem never recurs.
There may be a way to do this besides moving to a traditional mayor system. Councillors should explain concrete legal barriers that keep them from directing the city manager and getting him to produce information about his work and knowledge.
If there is no way to smash these barriers under the-city council system, then we must leave it. The chain of rule from the citizens to the elected representatives to the actions of the city government must be reestablished. -
34-minute run, 12 pull-ups. Legs: Not itchy today

As a possible result of writing with the e-ink pencil when possible and typing Dvorak style, today, my wrists feel a little better, but my knuckles and thenar eminences are sore. Of course, there is then the confounding factor that humidity is normal again.

10 burpees, 12 pull-ups, 5-3-1 deadlifts.

Heh, Amazon got rid of their non-disparagement clause for podcasts. I guess that excluded too many.

Run was 36 minutes. 12 pull-ups. Self-back-pat for working out before 5.
Legs were itchy during the run because it was dry out. (35% humidity.) I wonder if the dry weather also has something to do with the onset of wrist pain. I mean, in a tiny addition to typing way too much over the course of my life, that is. -
A kid: “My tooth came out.”
Teacher: “Oh, wow, you lost your tooth!”
Kid: “No, it’s in my drawer.” -
Aw geez, first grade is talking about things they like and don’t like about virtual learning. The teacher is putting the kids’ comments on a Mural-like virtual stickies app.
It’s just way too much like a work retro. Praying they do not do clustering and dot voting next. -
“Can you get a grownup to help you unmute?” count for the first 30 minutes of class: 3
I guess not bad, considering. -

Bonus Cat just threw up in the sink, as a result of eating some salad dressing.
I actually thought this was great! Even though he's not supposed to be on the counter, it was nice to clean it up just by turning on the water.
Then, he jumped down to the floor and threw up a little bit again. -
Hey, I am typing in Dvorak mode. I like the punctuation placement.
