The way we’re responding to Covid is exactly like the way we respond to climate change. Only it’s happening much more quickly.#
I wanted to try Holly+ so I recorded a song but got "error" and did another, and also got an error. Disappointed. I thought it was a good idea. Maybe my songs weren't good enough. Oh la. #
I saw somewhere the Biden's approval numbers are down because the virus is booming. This is wrong. He's doing the job we hired him to do. Our mistake is we give up our power and responsibility and look to a parent figure to take care of us. But that's not how America works.

- I imagined a car plowing into a crowd and killing twenty innocent people because some idiot at Apple decided to change the order the params of an API because they felt like it, and the car software dev missed the notice and didn't update the car's OS. #
- Oh sure I want software doing all the driving after less than two years of a burn in. Yeah that makes all the sense in the world. (Sorry for the sarcasm.)#
