NYT, seeing the GOP turn out huge for a midterm with a Dem incumbent and still lose:

Uh-oh! Might be a real horse race next year!

 

I don't think I'll ever ride public transportation again without a mask people are disgusting and I was always low key germaphobic

 

I don’t take public transportation but only wear a mask if I’m going to the doctor/dentist etc. probably .5% of the people around here wear a mask.

 

It allows me to not make a choice every time I get in the car as to what to listen to, I just resume the playlist. I also made playlists for albums released within a year from 2000-2009. Nice long playlists are nice.

Obviously, I’ll deviate for a new album or prepping for a show I have coming up.

It also allows me to not have to change albums or anything while I’m driving. I’m less distracted by my phone. I just hit play and drive.

Big fan of these playlists I’ve made. It just works for me.

 

I do always have a mask hanging from my phone mount in my car, and a bottle of sanitizer that I use every time I get into my car

 

I would mask on an airplane. Did that twice last year. But when I went back to shows last summer and didn’t wear a mask, that was kind of the end of me wearing one basically.

 

I wear one on planes still

 

the most frequent place i’m in where i’d want a mask is a concert. i stayed pretty vigilant for much longer than most around me but i’ve noticed myself really falling off this year and forgetting to even bring a mask most of the time. i did wear one last night to a packed the smile show, cus i’m not trying to catch covid right before my band goes on a little weekend tour. i haven’t flown yet since covid but i’m going to cali in the fall and will definitely be masking up

 

i've never been on a plane but i'd probably wear one there

 

Wearing a mask the entire time in a flight from the east coast to California, with a layover in between, sucked. Definitely couldn't have done it with an N95, but I used a surgical mask the whole time

 

Mask pretty much whenever I’m out in public in an indoor space, ie any store.

With numbers being so low right now around here, and having just been infected in February, I’m wearing a mask less frequently in other situations, I.e. at my training im at at this boarding school, I haven’t worn a mask at all here on campus in my classes or walking the halls or etc.

 

Three years ago today, everything was cake

 

I basically completely stopped wearing a mask. I remember when I went on a plane in February I wore it, but I went on one last month and I didn't. The only time in the past few months I wore one was when I had to get blood work done at the hospital.

 

My girlfriend and I were extremely vigilant about it until we got COVID in April this year and haven't really worn one since, but feel pretty bad about it and will probably start up again since I just got sick again and it was almost as bad as COVID. Not being sick for 3 years was tight.

 

Somehow managed to avoid COVID so far. I'm going to keep wearing a mask everywhere until it happens.

 

This sounds like a Ray Bradbury story.

 

COVID sucked, my fiance and I went through multiple dayquil and NyQuil bottles that week

 

It’s a weird feeling to be disabled/immunocompromised (I’ve had Covid as well), not really ever wearing a mask myself anymore, and to read stuff like that tweet.

 

We tried to do masks on the airplane over Christmas from the west to the east coast, but the second we got on the plane my 2 year old pulled hers down and licked the window, so we just went "eh, we're boned either way" and took them off.
