Hello, friends! I think the bird I mentioned in the subject line yesterday has access to the internet, because they are noticeably silent today. Dearest avian community: I apologize for putting our flighted friend on blast without consent.

INTERNET TIIIIIIIIME

• UGH I hate it when a marketing product of capitalism hits me in the feels, like this EXTRA gum ad just did. But as you know, my very first concert was Celine Dion when I was six - you put “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” in any piece of advertising, and I’m a goner.

• Facebook’s oversight board upheld the ban of the Former Guy, but also kicked the can down the road six months in asking that Facebook once again revisit it. Sigh: Oversight Board upholds former President Trump’s suspension, finds Facebook failed to impose proper penalty.

• I’m not saying this is me, but I’m also not NOT saying this is me: See Fewer People. Take Fewer Showers. Please note, however: I find it necessary to point out that a good evening bath is one of life’s absolute joys and I couldn’t get by without it. (NYT)

• Speaking of self care, if you’re not reading Swole Woman Casey Johnston over at Vice, you really should, her adventures in weight lifting and fitness are an absolute delight: What's the Perfect Amount of Exercise I Can Do For Better Sleep?

• Reason one million that I love local journalism: We investigated Elon Musk's claim Tesla bought every USB cable in the Bay Area (SFGate)

• Reason one million and one that I love local journalism: San Francisco’s The Jewish News of Northern California (locally and affectionately known as “The J”) has discovered that city fine arts museums may include pieces stolen during WWII: Investigation: San Francisco museums may hold Nazi-looted art.

• And finally, did I already share this? I might have already shared this. Whatever, I love it and I cannot stop laughing at it: An Faq About Your New Birth Control: The Music Of Rush (McSweeney’s) 

You’re awesome. Be kind to yourself, get that vax, and wear a mask when you need to.
