Pandemic Diaries Pt. 2

Today is Wednesday, yesterday was Tuesday. But honestly that doesn't even matter. EVERY DAY HAS FELT THE SAME FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. Period.

Bernie dropped out of the race today. I foresaw this coming, but seeing it turn into a reality does not make it any easier. Is the DNC just as corrupt as the RNC? I read a thread of thoughts about what the left is made out of, its origins and recent happenings in the last several years that have created the left that we know today. Basically, it said that there are so many actors on the left that are unaffected by much that happens between the left and the right, and that their lack of support (rather, their lack of knowing what to do to support) is part of what makes the left kinda wonky (for a lack of better words). Events that were listed were the end of the '08 financial crisis and the Occupy Wall Street protests. The thread went on to say that until we can sway the major supporters that we have on the left (large non-profits, certain celebrities, tech companies, etc.), or create a change from the inside of those influences, that this continual downfall of great candidates such as Bernie is going to be normalized and unfortunately another thing that will define the left. This sucks.

In other news, Northam just announced that as of Thursday at midnight that restaurants can serve all kinds of alcohol in to-go cups. It used to just be beer and wine, but now cocktails are on the list. Is this the future? Drinking, on the go! My next guess is that Public Intoxication will no longer be law and that ABC stores will be open 24/7. Only seems right at this point.

I SKATED skated for the first time in a few weeks yesterday with a few of the Utmost guys. It was good getting out of the house for a couple hours, but it's lame as shit that you can't not think about that stupid bitch named coronavirus every time you are anywhere other than your domicile. All the more reason that I bought a post skate sesh brew. It's the little things.
