I have no idea what happened to cause that, and I&#8217;ve been hesitant to unsubscribe.

It happens.  Responsibilities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News.  Obviously, the conviction of the cop in Minneapolis was the big story of the week.  I&#8217;m surprised that there wasn&#8217;t rioting, there, despite the guilty verdicts.  There was something I watched, which had a very disjointed flow chart where <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m confused about Minnesota law, where he was convicted of the lesser-included charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do wonder if at least some of the convictions will be overturned by the judge not sequestering the jury;  if they don&#8217;t convict, everything will burn.  *shrug*  But things are still on fire in Oregon, where you might have to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/as-mask-mandates-end-oregon-bucks-trend-with-permanent-rule\/ar-BB1fL6DA\" target=\"_blank\">wear a mask forever<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/07\/27\/jerry-nadler-calls-violence-from-antifa-in-portland-a-myth\/\" target=\"_blank\">If they existed<\/a>, a permanent mask mandate might be a good thing for Antifa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other stuff.  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/some-democrats-push-for-permanent-expansion-of-unemployment-benefits\/ar-BB1fYTy5\" target=\"_blank\">Permanent expanded unemployment benefits<\/a>.

Whatever.  \/GenX<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s noon, so I&#8217;m going to stop.
