Went to a donut shop in Japan today.
They had a CO2 monitor on the counter and a UV light on, plus circulating air through the ventilation system.
Also all the staff and most of the customers were masked. 😷
It's really not that hard and if a donut shop can do it we can certainly do it at least in schools and hospitals.

Big news in #Michigan: A county clerk who was an election denier faced a recall election. (She was accused of mishandling equipment.) She massively lost tonight & will be out of office.

I boost like a mug, even though there’s always some crank in the gallery who smugly announces “I’m muting you because you boost too much.” Go kick rocks, you anti-boostite. https://isfeeling.social/@matt/110293764114902837
Ukraine can win, even in Crimea. And if they do, the reverberations will be felt around the world. Jeffrey Goldberg and I reported from Mikolaiv, Kherson, Odessa, Kyiv:
In the Texas Hill Country folks are crazy for bluebonnets, but my favorite wildflower is the winecup. They’re rarer, and more adorable, and the color is just outrageous. Like if a tulip got busy with a rose and their progeny went off-grid.
@ReginaldOhLaw >I’ve never heard of woke chemistry before.
I dunno, maybe they stopped by an organic chemistry class, heard the professor talking about *cis* - *trans* isomerism, and concluded that those damned chemists are making hydrocarbons violate sacred gender norms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism
Breaking from EJeanCarroll for sec, this from Angry Staffer, and it breaks my heart/makes my blood boil. Navalny is a damn hero:
According to #Navalny’s daughter, Russian prison officials are destroying the food he purchases and are not letting him eat more than a little bit at a time while he’s in solitary confinement.
He’s lost a *ton* of weight. #Russia
It's been four weeks since my colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia. He remains in isolation despite entreaties by U.S. officials & many others.
I continue to stand with Evan and his family in asking for his immediate release. #IStandWithEvan
@kbsez @GottaLaff @Teri_Kanefield I'm a former trial lawyer, former prosecutor, and current mediator. I have both represented and sued some of the largest companies in the world. I am very experienced, and VERY good, at what I do.
At trial, Dominion would not and could not have received an apology. Period. The vanishingly rare circumstances in which a court could order a retraction do not exist here.
At trial, Dominion would not have received $787.5 million, which is 45x its highest annual earnings. If a jury awarded it that much, the court almost certainly would have reduced it on remittitur.
This is a superb and stunning settlement. Dominion has hurt Fox badly, exposed Fox's lies, and done the American public a massive service. If you feel otherwise, fine – but that's all it is: a feeling. Factually, you are incorrect, and to soothe your feelings you should take recourse to bourbon or cannabis, not social media.
Thank you.
Retired public health scientist who loves numbers. One of the highlights of my life was when my daughter counted to 270 on her EOY kindergarten evaluation. 🤣
I rarely (never?!) post. I used Twitter as a news source and continuing ed source. I very much appreciate all the historians and lawyers on twitter who have helped me understand....some history and law of the U.S.
I love emojis and dog pictures. :)
