Is there anything more peak 2021 than being invited to a "Mindfulness for Zoom Fatigue" workshop on Zoom?

[MR @MarcusRashford]

I do what I do for Liverpool as much as anywhere. Children all over the UK are crying out for our help. This is much bigger than me, than football, than politics. It’s time we all started listening, instead of clouding our views will allegiances and rivalries...

My piece in this month’s ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩: “It was game over for my sort of person in India. We had been so blithe, so unknowing, so insulated from a wider Indian reality that it was as if we had prepared the conditions for our own destruction” https://t.co/AkG9W5JLd2

Our media is remarkably calm as nearly 1000 Britons die every day, when they didn't need to. 🤷🏽‍♂️

A major Phil event had to be rescheduled via Zoom

"Chimpanzees & humans are closely related. We must act not only to protect ourselves, but also #greatapes & other species." Dr. Goodall's message of solidarity w/ the people affected by the pandemic--and the vulnerable animals the virus could devastate: https://t.co/lFVbNof47i

"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work."

I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.

[Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush🥀🇵🇸🇾🇪🇸🇩 @OwenPaintbrush]

Noam Chomsky calls this "manufacturing consent". If the general public can be convinced that 20,000 #coronavirus deaths is a "good result", the government's criminally negligent decision to ignore WHO advice and promote herd immunity will be forgotten about.

The question of our times: Is saving human lives good or bad for the economy?

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

I'm intent on judging companies forever on how they behave during this period. Like people, you really get a sense of them by how they respond to crisis.

[David Spergel @DavidSpergel]

A physicist's perspective: we should be talking about space-time distancing rather than social distancing. We need to practice social bonding but avoid being near each other in space-time. It is fine to be at the same location as someone else but be there at a different time!

[Paul Fletcher @PaulPcf22]

Something I'm quite enjoying right now: the sheepish, slightly conspiratorial smiles that I exchange with perfect strangers as we give each other a very wide berth on the roads and pavements.

Our physical distances are growing but I think our social distances might be shrinking.

“Why did I agree to do this?” - a recurring thought

[Valerio Capraro @ValerioCapraro]

My friends have been telling me for years that trolley problems are unrealistic. Here’s a real trolley problem: if you do nothing, millions of people will die; if you switch the lockdown, thousands of people will die, plus everybody lose trillions of dollars. What would you do?

[@scottjshapiro.bsky.social @scottjshapiro]

"Don't Touch Your Face" is the "Duck and Cover" of our time. Neither did any good, but it gave us some sense of control over a situation that was entirely within the hands of policy makers

[Roy Manterfield @MumblingNerd]

I could explain why I have a superiority complex, but I doubt you’d understand...
