This ought to be good (i say good but mean, upsetting yet confirming):

"We present our 2025 year in review, a year where normalization slipped into naturalization, as a cadre of villains who rose to prominence on the back of covid denial took the reins of the federal government to play out their revenge fantasies."

When random people interrogate me about my pandemic safety choices, maybe I should start turning the questions on them:

"Do you imagine a scenario where you start to care about brain damage? Is there a potential future where you no longer feel comfortable with the prospect of disabling and killing other people? What would it take for you to prioritize science and facts over cognitive dissonance and vibes?"

Golden Age Karate was a Vimeo Staff Pick. They did a great interview with director Sinda Agha about the making of the film -- that also covers what it was like to film during the pandemic.

Whether you're a filmmaker yourself or a film fan who loves behind the scenes stories, it's a great read. 2/2

A new "feature" of year six of the ongoing, unchecked covid pandemic is that a large and growing number of my previously covid-serious friends are changing gears to take unprecedented covid exposure risks.They cite a wide range of reasons/justifications/rationalizations.

My heart is not big enough to hold all the worry. Or loneliness.

But not gonna lie, it feels more and more like I'm in a tontine.

Only for the second time since the start of the ongoing pandemic we need to allow a repair person into our apartment. This time it was urgent, the washing machine needs fixing. It has been malfunctioning for months, but we waited for the summer, when we can air the rooms for a long time after their visit. On the phone they agreed to wear a mask. But i bet it's gonna be a baggy blue that keeps sliding under their nose. I've had sleepless nights for a week.
