I love The Admiral Theater. But man oh man, am I worried that it’s reopening today. As more and more people get the vaccine, get the second dose, and wait long enough to have full immunity, it makes sense for businesses to open. But it’s not worth spreading the disease, or dying, for Wonder Woman (I haven’t seen it, so this isn’t a review).

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Generally speaking, I believe 2 contradictory things. That we need more gun control, and that law enforcement needs a lighter touch.

So I am a bit pensive about the bill in the Washington State Legislature to ban open carry guns at the state Capitol and at demonstrations writ large. I am fine with the Capitol (and would be fine for a full open carry ban). But it seems like just demonstrations could be abused. I don’t know, maybe I’m overthinking it.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Monday Open Thread 1/25

Thank you to William “Stacey” Cowles for rescinding your Trump endorsement. Not after he refused to conced. Or after he inspired a violent white supremacist attempt to overturn the election. But eventually.

Better way, way, way late than never.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

We’re almost done with the Trump Administration. By the end of the day, we’ll have a better President. Joe Biden will be better than Trump, and that’s a low bar. I hope we end the plague and end the death penalty. I hope we can get the economy going again, and that it’s more fair. Mostly, it will be less anxiety making.

Anyway, you should still wash your hands right now.
