Something weird that I remembered today. People were buying these graduation packages ... invitations, announcements, even custom cards with the person's name and graduating class with the school's mascot/logo on it. I didn't get them ... my family had more kids than money. Anyway, the last regular day of school, people were running around, handing out these cards to anyone the…

@geniusmusing I actually bought the yearbook, but lost it in a move several years later.
Class rings were hundreds of dollars. What a scam. They probably cost as much as an entry level car these days.

A friend just texted to inform me that he and his gf got engaged this weekend.

It isn't just the "1% death rate". https://shitposter.club/objects/34bd9d99-b6c2-46f6-b7ca-8ca18e57cb41

Educators not happy with the plans their institutions’ administrators cooked up for next school year. https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2020/07/12/i-can-fix-this-plan/

One of the commenters notes that schools will have to spend up to 1/3 of next school year re-teaching things that students were supposed to learn last year. The usual month or two of review may extend into three or four months. The thing is, schools had little warning and no time to prepare for it. But now, they will have had five or six months that were wasted in circular di…

Apparently, someone was told that it is rude to subscribe to / follow someone you do not personally know. What? Where is this person from? From day one, the Fediverse (and same for Twitter!) has been a place where you subscribe to someone because you want to see their posts in your stream. If we could only subscribe to people we personally knew in real life, the Fediverse would…

I know @pete ...but I didn't when we fediverse met. There have been a few others that have come and gone over the years, but mostly just twitter refugees that went back when they figured out the fail whale (which I think was them moving to #Java). @edythemighty and @marxistvegan are probably the two I spent the most time talking to here, but again, neither of them did I know IR…

#TropStorm Cristina expected to become a remnant low ... but it looks like the remaining pieces could pass near #Hawaii. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
I wouldn’t say that #HI has anything to worry about (else #NOAA / #NHC would have said something), but there could be some winds and rain.

> this is actually depressing -- http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21636 Yes, it is. We see these almost daily, but still some folks refuse to wear face coverings, wash their hands, and leave some distance between themselves and others. We all see the death announcements about friends and family members who had it and passed, even youthful and healthy 30 and 40 somethings, so …

#Iran says that its air defense missiles did shoot down a #Ukraine airliner, but that the higher ups were not involved. What kind of idiot believes that some low level military person acted without an order from above?

Today is the peak of the heat wave. Triple-digit temperatures (100+°F / 37+°C) should end after today.

I was incorrect. The 100+F temperatures should end after tomorrow, but today should be the hottest in the series.

From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Florida reported an astounding 15k cases today. No state has ever reported so many infections. Its worth remembering how few tests were available in April, which suppressed New Yorks confirmed cases. (Florida started reporting current hospitalizations this week.) https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1282431205745364992/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66070

From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Our daily update is published. Sundays and Mondays are when we tend to see the numbers dipand we see that today. Still: 62k cases, rising hospitalizations, and a large jump in deaths over last Sundays holiday numbers. The 7-day average is now back over 700. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1282426894147653632/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66068

Tried to call #sonOne for our weekly #videochat, but he's out getting groceries. Hopefully, he'll call when he's home.
