Covid-19, much info & data

Fictional Domestic Abuse, Trauma
The Dragon and I saw "The Invisible Man" last night, and it's a pretty great movie. I don't think I've seen a movie that treats the simple idea of invisibility as straightforward terrifying -- "Hollow Man" tried to do it, and it didn't quite work. Leigh Whannel is an amazing horror writer, and I'm seriously impressed with his chops as a director.
Elizabeth Moss is typecast by now as the oppressed/abused yet defiant woman, but she is SO GOOD AT IT. The physicality in her performance is something special; she makes something as simple as a walk to the mailbox harrowing. But the very real experience of being trapped in an abusive relationship and having even well-meaning friends not believe you is its own kind of terror...having to bear that burden on your own is crushing, and I think the reason the movie works is that it works hard to show how hard this situation is so we can revel in the fact that the protagonist finds her way through it anyway.
It's quite intense, but if you're looking for good horror in the strain of "The Babadook" or "It Follows", this is worth a look.
I'm going to be absent on Twitter for a while, possibly months. You can find me on Mastodon (@jakebe), but I'll be deleting the app from my phone and giving up Tweetdeck.
Hopefully, I'll start blogging again -- I just like that better.

It's time for me to log off for a while. Probably the rest of the election. Because everything that happens next is entirely predictable, and this is going to be the worst place for it. 1/
And with that, I think I just need to walk away from this hellsite for the rest of the week. Nothing good is happening here.
And screaming at Warren supporters -- your FELLOW PROGRESSIVES -- for it isn't going to do anything to rally us to Sanders.
Try being compassionate for people who aren't in your tribe, especially if they're fighting for the same things you are. That's coalition-building.

Haha what a bright new day guess I’ll start it first thing by opening up Twitter and pouring pure poison into my eyeballs

Oh, final bit is, protect the House and let's flip the Senate. That's arguably *more* vital than who is POTUS at this point.
