In other news, water is wet despite the fact some people think it's dry and some people think it's a government conspiracy. https://www.axios.com/coronavirus-masks-fewer-positive-tests-87a97b0f-6d30-4440-a16f-ef73bb859c2b.html

I'm trying to track down something I probably bookmarked but I've lost. It was some examples of Google and probably NYT (it could've been someone else) using GitHub to host visualizations and iframes to embed them elsewhere. Anyone familiar with what I'm talking about?
Struggling with work #now. Haven't been able to take vacation in a year, at boss' request. Have to work in an arm brace and sleep in a different arm brace. I told boss if I have to go to physical therapy, for the 2nd time, I'll have to quit. I was accused of making threats. I'm not sure what to do. Looking for another job, like more than a handful in my office, but I'm afraid I'm doing permanent damage and won't find opportunities elsewhere after taking time to recuperate. Just venting I guess.

Despite using #Waze since before Google bought it I've always been skeptical of people's accounts of Waze miraculously saving them in the clutch. Until today, when Waze routed me around a traffic jam cause by construction while I was on my way to get a COVID vaccine.

The thing about dogs chasing cars is, when the dog catches the car it doesn't know what to do. The dog doesn't think that far ahead.
I tended not to put too much stock in the comparisons of modern empires and Rome until I watched a modern day Nero fiddle while Rome burned.
