Facebook’s oversight board made some news this week for issuing a toothless decree about kicking a certain ex-president off their platform. A shame actual regulations don’t apply to them and they get to make up their own on the fly.

I’m still a week away from my second shot, so I’ll be acting like there’s still a pandemic on, ‘cause there is.

Yes, even Robocop.

A year later and the pandemic’s still raging and cops are murdering with impunity. Maybe “Just Vote” wasn’t such a viable alternative to everyone who poo-pooed the calls to defund the police as too extreme.

Kemp’s getting the spotlight, but Republican governors and legislatures are pulling this stuff across the country. End the filibuster and pass the “For the People Act” before it’s too late.

Besides being the right thing to do, ending the filibuster will make Mitch sad, and that’s enough for me.

Skee ball last week, arcade nostalgia this week. I think I need a trip to Funspot in New Hampshire once I’m all vax’d up.
