@Stoned_Deva_ I was about to make a list of what I look for in a restaurant, but realized that was all before 2020. Since getting Covid and suffering from #LongCovid, my criteria are much simpler: Is it close enough for me to get takeout home while it is still warm?

Before getting Covid, I did visit a few restaurants that had good ventilation and other sanitary precautions, but it seems most of those precautions have been dropped around the same time I got infected, so at this point, I don’t plan on eating inside a restaurant ever again. If I ever recover fully from this, the last thing I want to do is risk getting it again!!

Several countries around the world rejected Fox News with its Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Hannity shows because they saw it as propaganda for white supremacy and right-wing extremism.

It’s about time we give Fox News the same treatment.

Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Looks like he finally got “cancelled.”

We’re WAY past the point of #White folks being unaware of the potentially fatal consequences of calling cops on #Black folks. Yet for the “crime” of walking through his gated community this #Fresno HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL dials 911 calling the girls “Section 8” & “ghetto”.
This man should not be responsible for kids. #HesGotToGo #BLM

Oddly, today I don't mind seeing Tucker Carlson's constipated face in my timeline.

Usually, I cringe.

Was not thinking it was possible Tucker could become Glenn Beck so fast.

Let this be a reminder even the racist bastards mean nothing to their billionaire bosses.

Losing Tucker Carlson is a huge loss for the nation. And by "the nation," I mean Putin's Russia.

In an act of defiance against Tennessee’s anti-drag law, Lizzo has performed in the state with a whole bunch of Drag Race faves and local queens, and yes, it was iconic.
