What's in the past can never be changed, so when you change things, it should always only be for the better...
Let's hope they don't destroy
our world trying to save it.

LA County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer (left) said Tuesday stay-at-home orders will 'with all certainty' be extended for the next three months. Ferrer said the shocking timeline will only change if LA sees a 'dramatic change to the virus and tools at hand'. While other parts of the state have recorded a decline in daily infections and deaths, LA continues to record a growth in both areas.
The county continues to see a spike in cases and deaths, with another 566 people testing positive and 39 dying from the virus Monday. As of Tuesday, 1,570 have died from the virus in LA - making up more than half of California's COVID-19 deaths.
While other parts of the state have recorded a decline in daily infections and deaths, LA continues to record a growth in both areas. Ferrer said the aim is to ease restrictions over the coming months but that this will only happen if the rates of infections and deaths decline.

"In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone.
More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.
Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind’s goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.
True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish."
Later on he added:
Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources.
Hand in hand with this we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land. The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the Federal, State, and local governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomical, and unequal. It can be helped by national planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and other utilities which have a definitely public character. There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped merely by talking about it. We must act and act quickly.
Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order; there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.
There are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session detailed measures for their fulfillment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the several States.
Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo. Our international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of time and necessity secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy. I favor as a practical policy the putting of first things first. I shall spare no effort to restore world trade by international economic readjustment, but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment."
Sound familiar? It's a speech that was given 88 years ago by a then newly-elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This is ridiculous.
This is CC Sabathia last year when he was pitching for the Yankees.
He retired at the end of the year.
He was ALWAYS this heavy throughout his Major League career.
He was also a damn good pitcher.
Friggin' guy retires from baseball and decides it's finally time to get in shape. Crazy, right?
Sabathia pitched 19 years in the major leagues, beginning with the Cleveland Indians as a 20-year-old in 2001. He was second in American Rookie of the Year voting that season, losing to Ichiro Suzuki.
He was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers during the 2008 season and helped them make the postseason. In the ensuing offseason, Sabathia signed a seven-year, $161 million contract with the Yankees It was the largest contract for a pitcher in MLB history at the time of the signing.

Rodman went to North Korea back in 2013 after being invited by the whackjob who runs the country. He gets there, and Kim invites him to his home for a wild party. “Let’s have dinner tonight. A little karaoke and have some vodka, some hotties and stuff like that,” Rodman said the North Korean leader told him.
“Next thing I know, we are having dinner and we are drunk as sh-t, he starts singing karaoke and I have no clue what the fuck he’s talking about.” Then, an 18-piece band of “hot” women came out - and only played the theme song from 1978 TV-show “Dallas,” Rodman said.
The Hall of Famer suggested they learn other tunes - some Pearl Jam, Van Halen and Rolling Stones — and, the next time he visited North Korea, they played all his requests.
He said he’s seen the hermit kingdom’s “military [and] missiles,” - but that he’s never talked politics with Kim. “The politics, I don’t get involved with that,” Rodman said.

She did it herself, all right.
A woman was caught on camera masturbating while half-naked in a Chinese IKEA store, prompting the DIY furniture company to pledge stricter security. The two-minute pornographic clip shows the unidentified woman wearing just a white shirt as she pleasures herself in various sections of the store.
As other shoppers walk by, the woman initially sat on a chair, touching herself as she thrust her butt toward the camera. She then sat on a bed with her legs spread wide — at one point seeming to catch the eye of some guys walking past — before taking off her shirt in a more secluded spot in the store.
After going viral, the X-rated footage was soon scrubbed from Chinese social media — but with interest so high, even the Swedish furniture giant’s response got 9 million views.
