Today is January 14th

I'm at my parent's house. Joe Biden will be sworn into office on January 20, 2021. Walter Kronkrite once laughed at the notion of Joe Biden being president. 

The coronavirus is set to kill over 4000 people a day for the next 3 weeks. 92,000 deaths in three weeks. People in power still aren't taking it seriously. Regular people still aren't taking it seriously. This is the danger of people not accepting facts as facts. Is this over-tolerance?

Is this people who are in charge and have power not caring what happens? Some of them must benefit from misinformation and distrust. It makes it difficult for people to organize. To know what's happening to the world and why. I hate these clowns that knowingly spread lies and hatred and vitriol and confusion.

We can't treat a public health crisis, we can't help average folks, we can't have an election or a peaceful transfer of power without fear of violence and insurrection. It's insane. Cops are killing unarmed black people in broad daylight on their own front yard. It's absurd. This ridiculous delusion of white supremacy and unchecked greed.

Strange days. Hopefully this is something real. This is a real set of circumstances with real outcomes and we can't just go on allowing multiple versions of facts to coexist when one or more exist for the express purpose of keeping the powerful in power at the expense of everyone else and the planet. 

I'm tired of it. I'm tired of lies and people being okay with it. I do think most people get it and want the right things to happen. We don't want the planet to be destroyed. We want to be better for ourselves and our communities. 

I don't know. I hope we can do better.

The Other Night

I heard one random tone when I was in bed. It was like a single random beep from outside and it immediately made me think of a song. But an instrumental song I couldn't think of the words to. Anyway, after minimal YouTube searching, I was very quickly recommended Alice DJ's Better Off Alone.

Now, I've been having this problem for at least 15 years of being alive and having internet access. And this is the first time, searching has quickly lead me to the solution. But it was a little too good this time. I'm suspicious.

Excited for a Workout Tomorrow

I took a week to focus on easy short running and also lifting to allow myself to recover a little bit. I felt way too tired about a week ago.

I have cycles of being really productive and full of energy and then something about my routine will change and it feels like it takes me a week or so to get back to feeling motivated and productive. Today was a productive motivated day.

Donald Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter

it happened while I was with Julie.

I've had periods where I've checked his Twitter a lot. This is all so bizarre. All of it. Surreal. 

I saw Julie today

we got smoothies. julie is my friend and I like talking to her.

also the owl is back! she (the owl) must have read how impressed I was with her and has returned to hoot more!

such an excellent time.
