Okay, by way of explanation, in the leadup to election night, people who cover elections practice. They basically have different components of their news organization role play. Or whatever. These days, everyone is working from home, and everything happens over Zoom. All well and good! We have all diligently paid attention to Room Rater and curated our backgrounds, upgraded our webcams, made sure we have a good internet connection, etc.

Well, _that’s_ a headline. Except they have updated it!
_New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call_
Don’t tell me this is not safe for kids; there is nothing wrong with masturbation. You know, except when you do it in front of people who did _not_ consent to see all that! That is a problem. Don’t do that! And kids need to learn that early.
Seriously.
Where were we?
Oh, right. There is also coverage elsewhere.

I have questions! I sorta want to know, like, is it even satisfying to try to fit phone sex in during a 10 minute breakout room time slot? What _is_ the zoom equivalent of phone sex? Why did Toobin feel like he needed to apologize to his wife? Dude, if your wife does not know about this, bad form! Your spouse is supposed to know about these things unless you have previously agreed NOT to share. Altho maybe you are apologizing to your wife because you inadvertently wound up with multiple major news sources covering you spanking it in front of a baker’s dozen high-tone media folk! Perhaps he had permission for the zoom equivalent of phone sex but NOT for the loss of income resulting from the suspension because etc.? This mind is not inquiring, despite that question mark. I do NOT want to know.
I just want to work out the very best way to casually refer to this on future occasions because there is a _rich_ vein of humor to be mined! So. To. Speak.!
I walked with M.
I hosted book group. We read — or at least tried to read — Her Own Words by RBG. People were dissatisfied, but for various reasons. I may or may not ultimately finish it. There are so very many books to read.
