BREAKING: On the eve of the Republican National Convention, Trump will announce today a “breakthrough” COVID-19 therapy.

The political FDA arm twisting should be a concern to all-Americans here.

Murphy is a longtime veteran of the other side, and he's both won and lost, and he's got a well-placed tight focus on beating Trump. Murphy is, in short, a good co-belligerent (not ally or friend, certainly not convert). With that always in mind, listen. https://t.co/A8qjtKapag

An elite all-female ranger unit named 'The Lionesses,' patrol a conservation area near Kenya’s Amboseli National Park amid COVID-19. The recruits are drawn from the Maasai community who live around the park https://t.co/BDORvKkr8L

@sigridellis The Planet Money podcast from NPR has some episodes that do a great job of explaining that.

@indyfromspace Congratulations!

As a beat cop these last 3 years I was first on the scene for a dozen or so murders, dozens more aggravated assaults, hundreds of lesser violent crimes and then countless property crimes. I spent almost 3 years riding calls in my various beats & have seen drama...

@SKLPerry @AGEllison This is so shitty. I’m sorry you have to deal with it. I wish I was in a position to do something about it.

@Lollardfish @mnzoo Love that tiger mask!

I have been reading NTO for a long time and it’s one of the most beautifully illustrated comics out there. The story and characters are excellent. I strongly encourage everyone to give it a read!

Okay so we were planning on reopening next week but now thanks to all you dumb motherfuckers who refuse to wear masks we won't be reopening. Fuck each and every one of you who refuse to take Covid seriously. Quote me.

@BenPaddon Crowdfunding?

[Thomas Juntunen @__tmj]

@BenPaddon I would buy a new, repackaged set if you do publish them.

[Thomas Juntunen @__tmj]

@BenPaddon I loved that comic. I bought all the PDFs available, but it seemed there were missing volumes? Will they eventually be available?

Tomorrow's jobs report won't show:

4 million who have had pay cuts.

3 million who are working fewer hours.

6 million working part-time but want full-time work.

Millions who aren't looking for work because they don't consider it safe.

Millions who are furloughed and unpaid.
