The goblin uprising is upon us.
Biases
You can tell a lot about the biases of news media by watching who they spotlight. Compare the WSJ and Bloomberg. The WSJ, rightwing, did a big thing on Wines, Republican governor of Ohio and his coronavirus response. Bloomberg, leftwing, did one on Cuomo, Democratic governor of New York. Both have comparable successes in their response.

I’ve reinstalled Matlab.

I need to post more memes.
Car News
The Drive is descending into ragebait politics. I don’t know what it is about cars that makes the journalists so angry. Some of them are just furious. The Drive use to be a pretty reasonable bit of car news, at least when Tesla wasn’t involved, but now that Patrick George is writing for it, more and more of the coverage is just Jalopnik-style rage. I do not understand.
Anyway, time to find a new hobby website. Is Drivetribe still a thing?
Thread
I need a plot thread for a guy that gets murdered on a mirror.
A surprising number of people don’t seem to understand that people who disagree with them exist.
They aren’t necessarily evil. They aren’t necessarily malicious. Many of them are doing what they think is best for the world. It’s just different.
Timing
I picked a bad time to move.
Also, I need more plants.

In a positive story, my landlord just gave everyone a 15% discount on rent for April. That’s not nothing and much appreciated.

I’m reading my utility bills and itemizing expenses.
Also, Comcast is terrible.
