Cambridge sees 29 coronavirus cases in day, including one-third reported by a university
Idiots! This is going to cause the closure of the schools. Not MIT, of course, but primary and secondary schools. -
“Executive time”
Trump is known to watch so much Fox News (up to seven hours a day, coded on his schedule as ‘executive time’) that some advertisers — farmers seeking subsidies, airlines opposed to foreign subsidies, the National Biodiesel Board — have produced commercials just for him.
From the LRB. -
I forgot about daylight savings time and also the onset of Northern Darkness in general. So, I grilled at 6 PM, and it was pitch black.
I guess this is a thing that wouldn’t be any better if we were in Canada. -
36-minute run on alternate flat route. 12 pull-ups. Really had to shake myself out of a torpor to get myself out there today.

Oh, hell yeah:
1 Hour of Castlevania Music on Church Organ -
Three quarts of stock, one quart of soup, a tupperware of meat. I feel like I’ve extracted enough value from the chicken.

Empty, Grand Majesty is a prog death epic with exciting basswork. Nicely done, Voidceremony!
Bandcamp kinda forces you to listen to whole albums, and I’ve been enjoying that. -
OH in kid’s remote class: “We’re going to learn about what news is and things you can do to feel better when news is bad.”

35-minute run, 12 pull-ups. Maintain your stuff, everyone.

I kinda botched the chicken, but the insides were good, after I did a second round in this oven. (Outside was burned and dry.) So, there’ll be chicken salad, and I will squeeze a ton of stock out of this.

Oh, yeah, 10-4-4-4-4-12 this afternoon.

Whole chickens look funny. (Or horrifying, depending on your perspective.)

Was in a Slack discussion about tombstone and mausoleum costs, and it occurred to me you might be able to get a cheap space to live in if you’re in an expensive real estate market. Turns out private mausoleums are like outdoor cases for coffins. Walk-in mausoleums are what you’re used to seeing in D&D and video games, the kind you can actually go into. These cost between $250K and $3 million in Houston.

Hey, the Metal Blade Slayer albums are on Bandcamp!

I had to scrub through the Joe Rogan episode with Alex Jones. Listening to that all day, as millions do, will destroy your brain.

Trump suffers court defeats in effort to exclude early votes
A federal judge in Texas on Monday dismissed a Republican lawsuit aimed at disqualifying 130,000 ballots cast by “drive-through voting” in Houston, and a Nevada judge dismissed a similar attempt to stop counting early votes in the Las Vegas area.
I hope the judge said, “That’s enough of your bullshit.”
Both states are seen as battlegrounds, particularly Texas, which has not elected a Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Anti-Trump sentiment and demographic changes have brought Democratic nominee Joe Biden to within striking distance in election-eve Texas opinion polls.
The court rulings were part of some of the most aggressive pre-election manoeuvring in modern American history, and a sign election day itself may become just part of a weeks-long political and legal drama to determine the next president. -
28-minute run, 12 pull-ups. No workout cheating will happen this week.

Well, it's here: The weeks or months here in the US that we have to listen to Sepultura to even get the will to continue.
