@homlett Soliloquy...
"There's no limit to the stupidity of people in large groups"

Soliloquy bis: even more reason to avoid these things (large groups of peeple), they're a surveillance magnet to the powers-that-be.

Post-scriptum: "quoting" Micky Rourke in Barfly (1987): "I don't hate people, I just seem to feel better when they're not around" which, interestingly, isn't a quote from any of Charles Bukowski's writings... Though he did write the screenplay

@homlett

The future is here.

It has been summoned early—strictly as a security precaution.

There is no nned to worry.

Return to your normal routine.

Simply remain vigilant.

There are threats, terrorists, and viral nightmares everywhere.

And, to quote the most idiotic parting sentiment daily uttered on the CBC:

“Stay safe.”
