I've been really excited about the potential of the Oculus Quest, but it sounds like Facebook is finally asserting its ownership in a way that could possibly snuff that potential out. At this rate Apple will monopolize the VR market almost immediately when they choose to launch a product :/

Review: We do not recommend the $299 Oculus Quest 2 as your next VR system

Issues big and small, and that's before we get into the Facebookening of this thing.

This smoke is really starting to mess with my head. It feels like weather-related depression but with apocalyptic overtones
We're doomed
Not to mention overhearing conversations about how:
* "We're all safer now than before Covid because they're disinfecting everything"
* "The CDC says the virus is pretty much under control now"
* "Look at all these idiots, don't they know masks won't protect them?"

My partner had surgery. The specialist was out of state so we had to fly.

I am so frustrated.

At the airport I saw:
* Uncovered noses
* Masks on chins
* Masks around necks
* Removing mask to cough
* Removing mask to talk
* Removing mask on bus or tram
* Mask peekaboo w/ baby

I have decided that Moana is the best non-Pixar Disney movie.

Honorable mention goes to The Lion King, but it loses out due to its monarchist politics.

It is far too hot for me to be able to write 🥵
