* I got polled twice on health care based stuff in 24 hours. The first one was elaborate and very clearly PeaceHealth trying to see if their propaganda effort has managed to make people forget they barred their staff from wearing PPE in February, risking their lives and long term health and then fired and black listed the whistleblower. I made very clear I hadn't forgotten as they had one of those comment section tipe things towards the end. I did distill my objections dow to three soundbite things, which the nice man laboriously wrote down. The other had to do with local COVD response and was both neutral and not very illuminating since the answers allowed did not remotely match my opinions. I made due.
Bonus: I also got two of those Credit card number scam robocalls in 24 hours. Clearly someone got a batch of brand neew autodialer numbers, which means a month or more of interrupted sleep for me as I drop an old number from the list and add a new until I hit homeostsis again. 25 slots isn't close to enough.
Saturday I stayed up for an internet event and I was too tired to post the resulting aggregate.

* I got polled twice on health care based stuff in 24 hours. The first one was elaborate and very clearly PeaceHealth trying to see if their propaganda effort has managed to make people forget they barred their staff from wearing PPE in February, risking their lives and long term health and then fired and black listed the whistleblower. I made very clear I hadn't forgotten as they had one of those comment section tipe things towards the end. I did distill my objections dow to three soundbite things, which the nice man laboriously wrote down. The other had to do with local COVD response and was both neutral and not very illuminating since the answers allowed did not remotely match my opinions. I made due.
Bonus: I also got two of those Credit card number scam robocalls in 24 hours. Clearly someone got a batch of brand neew autodialer numbers, which means a month or more of interrupted sleep for me as I drop an old number from the list and add a new until I hit homeostsis again. 25 slots isn't close to enough.
Saturday I stayed up for an internet event and I was too tired to post the resulting aggregate.
