Scuffles continued into the night as the provocateurs overturned the tables of vendors who had been selling pro-Trump gear and set off dozens of fireworks, prompting police to pepper-spray them. > At 8 p.m., violence broke out five blocks east of the White House between the president’s supporters, who wielded batons, and his black-clad detractors, many of whom had participated in racial justice rallies throughout the summer. As the groups approached the same intersection, they charged each other, brawling for several minutes before police arrived and cleared the area. > fter a week in which more than 750,000 Americans were diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, almost none of his backers wore masks. Among their ranks were white nationalists, conspiracy theorists and far-right activists carrying signs demanding action that was already being taken: “Count the legal votes.” > Trump had thrilled them when his motorcade appeared on Pennsylvania Avenue shortly after 10 a.m., prompting fans to scramble to the side of Freedom Plaza to catch a glimpse. >“He drove right past me. I saw him. He waved right past me,” one man said as he tried to collect himself. >A group of women huddled around a phone, looking at a video of Trump’s appearance near a Walt Whitman quote inscribed in the stone beneath them: “The President is there in the White House for you, it is not you who are here for him.” > “They think we’re stupid,” a young White man with a microphone told the crowd. “They’re underestimating The Donald. They’re underestimating The Donald’s supporters.” > “They’re stupid!” a young White woman replied. > Speakers who addressed the aggrieved legions included Alex Jones, a discredited conspiracy theorist most famous for tormenting the families of school shooting victims, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, a recently elected congresswoman from Georgia who has promoted QAnon, which falsely alleges that famous Democrats belong to a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles. > As conservative speakers at Freedom Plaza derided the news media, including Fox News, the Proud Boys marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, leading hundreds in chants of “F--- antifa!” and shouting down stray opponents who yelled “Black lives matter!” > “All lives matter!” they screamed back. > Marching with them was D.C. resident Justin Anthony, who waved a satirical sign that read, “Sue anyone who did not vote for this great American.” > He led chants to the tune of “Count only Trump votes” and danced around in a large mock police uniform with the name “Officer Pudge” on its badge. > Almost no one got it, he said. They joined in, asked for pictures, cheered. > “It’s crazy,” he said. “Like, they really don’t see how insane this is.” > Near the Supreme Court, a line of riot police stood facing a few dozen protesters resting homemade shields on the ground as a MAGA throng chanted and churned behind them. > “F--- antifa!” they shouted in unison. > “Who’s antifa?” one Trump supporter wondered. > “I don’t know,” another responded. “But they don’t like her!” > At midday, along the east end of Freedom Plaza, a lone counterprotester stood on the sidewalk holding a sign that read “Trump is the fraud.” He wore a gray cloth mask. > As a thin film of sweat formed on his face, an elderly woman in red MAGA gear paused and stared at him sadly. > “We feel bad for you that you can’t see the truth,” she said. > “I feel the same way about you,” he replied. > “Who’s antifa?” one Trump supporter wondered. Har har. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/11/10/partisanship-schools-reopening-virus-trump-unions/ > But a new study we conducted, examining some 10,000 school districts across the country — some 75 percent of the total — remarkably finds essentially no connection between covid-19 case rates and decisions regarding schools. Rather, politics is shaping the decisions: The two main factors that determined whether a school district opened in-person were the level of support in the district for Donald Trump in 2016 and the strength of teachers’ unions. A third factor, with a much smaller impact, was the amount of competition a school district faces from private schools, in particular Catholic schools. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/coronavirus-us-cases-deaths/ > In the past week in Michigan... > New daily reported cases rose 48.1% > New daily reported deaths rose 77.1% > Covid-related hospitalizations rose 33.6% https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate#Instantaneous_wakeups_from_suspend<Paste> ``` 🐚 bava ~ $ sudo sh -c 'echo EHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup' 🐚 bava ~ $ sudo sh -c 'echo EHC2 > /proc/acpi/wakeup' 🐚 bava ~ $ sudo sh -c 'echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup' ``` Servings: grains 6/6, fruit 1/4, vegetables 2/4, dairy 3/2, meat 3/3, nuts 0/0.5 Breakfast: Brussels sprouts, cookies Lunch: apple, two hot dogs Afternoon snack: cucumber Dinner: pizza wrap
