UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks.

This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

Source: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/icymi-audio-rush-transcript-governor-hochul-guest-cnn-laura-coates

Laura Coates, CNN: There is also a call some have talked about, some Jewish leaders actually in New York are calling tonight for a mask ban. Saying that covering faces allows protesters to have some level of anonymity to be more aggressive, to me more entitled to say what they want because they don’t fear repercussion in the same way. Would you support that endeavor? Governor Hochul: There was a ban on masks before the pandemic that you couldn't have face coverings that didn't serve a purpose. For example, a surgical mask for someone who is elderly or ill — the pandemic removed that from our State Law. It was repealed at the time, but I absolutely will go back and take a look at this and see whether it can be restored because it is frightening to people. You're sitting on a subway train and someone puts on a mask like this and comes in — you don't know if they're going to be committing a crime, they're going to have a gun, or whether they're just going to be threatening or intimidating you because you are Jewish, which is exactly what happened the other day. Absolutely unacceptable in the State of New York.

    @luckytran The bodies of loved ones were literally being piled up because there wasn't room for them in the usual spaces, and literal truck loads were collecting them. Where the fuck was she during this? Who's pockets is she snuggled into?

    Things I learned this morning:

    -The bridge is woke.
    -The ship that crashed into the bridge is woke.
    -It was a Russian or Chinese cyber attack.
    -But it was also a false flag.
    -Yesterday's legal experts are now structural engineers.
    -It will take somewhere between one day and ten years to build a new bridge.

    Nothing more fun than tracking down 's latest grift. For his sneakers, he's getting a fee paid to CIC Ventures, which he owns, by 45Footwear LLC, which is purportedly the shoe manufacturer. That is based in Sheridan Wyoming, in this rundown house in a grimy shopping mall.

    Gun fetishism has a long history in the US. Here we see two self-deluded American Heroes displaying the rifles they have stored in their fallout shelters in the Cold War. Presumably this is to kill their neighbors.

    Image #2: Dr. F. Archer poses with his rifle at ready in a sparsely furnished cinderblock shelter (March 7, 1961)

    @bojacobs @histodons @sts I can think of no scarier Halloween costume than dressing up as a picture frame with this photo in it.

    What are your thoughts on DNF (Did Not Finish)-ing books? Do you feel guilty about it? Do you worry you missed out on something? Or are you confident in dropping a book and reaching for the next one?

    At what point are you most likely to DNF, if ever? What sorts of things cause you to DNF?

    My friend, book blogger Kriti, was musing on these questions a while back, and it sparked this new post: https://armedwithabook.com/dealing-with-dnf-the-practice-of-did-not-finish/

    @skaeth @bookstodon I am extremely picky so if I'm no longer interested in a book I drop it.

    flatchulancelot ,
    @flatchulancelot@cupoftea.social avatar

    @skaeth @bookstodon It's a bit sporadic because my interest in reading is dictated by my ADHD. But if I had to guess I'd say 60% I drop them. It doesn't matter if it's fiction or nonfiction.

    @skaeth @bookstodon Oh yeah, if I'm trying to read about someone or something, and the author is a dry writer, my eyes glaze over and I stop reading lol.

    @GottaLaff @paperwormz "Love" the super lefties who fling graphic photos at you as if that'll bring you to their extreme way of thinking, despite the fact that even if you do agree in general but not in the way they like (also, shock photos are extremely disrespectful for the people in those horrible situations; you're a horrible person if you do that).

    2023 smashes record for world’s hottest year by huge margin.
    The Earth’s life support systems have been so damaged that the planet is “well outside the safe operating space for humanity”.

    @rahmstorf No thanks to the rich and the politicians who're in their pockets. We've been telling them for decades to change directory while we desperately try to do what we can on our level to slow down the issue; all the while those bastards actively work against our attempts.
