BTW, the movie that you watch in the movie theater was sent over the internet and it's displayed on the movie screen using a digital projector... it's the same thing as what you watch from a streaming service.

BTW = by the way

Why on Earth would anyone go to a movie theater in the middle of a pandemic?????

There is no interaction between the people other than that they are all breathing the same air.

If there is anything that could be done online just as well as in person, it's watching a damn movie!

DS9 didn't have as big of an audience as TNG because the marketing/distribution folks didn't promote it as much, possibly because of the black lead character.

In the US, more people have died from COVID-19 since the vaccines have been available than died from COVID-19 before the vaccines were available.

Respirators actually work.

Germany and Austria required FFP2 respirators and had a mostly flat death-rate this year.

The CCD in the US told people to take their masks off and the death rate soared.

The truth is...

Little Miss Muffet had no idea what a "tuffet" was even though the term was used in her eponymous nursery rhyme to describe her posture.

The truth is...

When doing building inspections, fire marshals often overlook the use of flint as a building material.

Here I sit, broken hearted,
Tried to shit, but only farted.

Could be worse, you must admit,
than if you try to fart and instead you shit.

This image is from wikimedia commons (commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil).

It's ~1954 and shows people wearing gas masks to protect themselves from the LA (Los Angeles) smog. During the 50s and 60s in LA the accumulated air pollution from gasoline cars was so bad that it caused peoples nostrils and lungs to burn.

Basically what Beijing is going through now.

Ironically, this is a meeting of the "Optimists Club".

I think C-SPAN hosts read QOTO:

Hamlet Past

Was or was not? 'Twas questioned and quenched.
Suffered, as was noble, arrows slung at outrageous fortune,
futile arms against a Sea of troubles.
But now friend and foe are dead, gone, asleep, no more.
What duality has shuffled off its mortal coil?
Vanquished, remembered, Forgiven?
'Twas not dreamt nor corpus vexed,
nor past or hence.
'Twas merely a player,
'tis only a stage.

Meta

I once Meta a girl from Nantucket,
who wished for one huge as a rocket.
But when the fruit came to bare,
she gave it a stare,
and said it was too big to Zuck it.

Yeah, I know it's no longer PC (politically correct) to refer to a woman as a "girl", but that's the form of the verse. What can I say, are a transgressive . (Also, I know, is not from Nantucket.)
