You don't hear much about the "middle group" in the Recession, those of us who weren't hindered by starting work around that time, having enough experience to get ahead, and watch while we got more while those who were with the company for decades had a chunk of theirs violently ripped from their hands (some took cuts by over $20/hour where I worked).

I actually did quite well during the pandemic. It was more work, but I got more for the effort.

I actually did better, virtually the same as far as work applies, but I got to work from home most of the time

I couldn't work at home, but I got lots of bonus money and other benefits that wouldn't have been available otherwise.

At least he was only guilty of erection and not insurrection.

Actually, he committed perjury, & suborned perjury.
And he abused an innocent cigar.

Donkey on the run in same town that dealt with runaway steer (apnews.com)

Johnston, Rhode Island. Remember that name. That's the most likely place which will be the flashpoint for the animal zombie apocalypse.

JOHNSTON, R.I. (AP) — The same Rhode Island town that had to deal with a runaway steer earlier this year is now investigating reports of a donkey on the loose.

The donkey was first spotted in Johnston at about 7 p.m. Sunday near the town line with Scituate.

It was reported again at about 8:30 p.m., but when police arrived at the scene it was gone, Chief Joseph Razza said.

WJAR-TV shared video captured by a motorist that showed the donkey trotting down a street as cars whizzed past.

“Here we go again,” Mayor Joseph Polisena told WPRO radio on Monday morning, saying he was concerned that the donkey might cause a car crash.

No one has reported a missing donkey, but Polisena noted that there are several farms in the area.

Animal control will patrol the area where the donkey was last seen, he said.

A 1,500-pound (680-kilogram) steer that escaped on its way to a slaughterhouse spent nearly two months on the lam in Johnston until it was captured in late March.

Three years ago, three wild turkeys intimidated drivers in town.

There was a short-lived TV show called "Kodiak" I recall, about an Alaskan cop. Played by the same guy who played Posey in The Dirty Dozen.

Yeah, that's the one. It seemed like they were trying to make an Alaskan version of "Hawaii Five-O," but I guess shows about Alaska just aren't cool or hip enough.

It seemed like the show was doomed from the start, even more so than I had remembered after doing a bit of checking. Kodiak (TV series) - Wikipedia

Kodiak is a half-hour adventure program (produced by Warner Bros. TV) that aired Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m Eastern time on ABC during the 1974-1975 television season. The show filled the time spot left vacant by ABC's cancellation of The Brady Bunch.

Well, that's a bad sign. "The Brady Bunch" was beloved by fans and has endured for generations, becoming an integral part of popular culture. It gets cancelled and replaced by this program.

The show suffered low ratings due to being broadcast against NBC's mega-hit Sanford and Son.[2] Kodiak was cancelled after the first episode, although a total of four episodes were aired.

Cancelled after the first episode. They didn't even give it a chance. But "Sanford and Son" was tough competition. CBS also had the "Planet of the Apes" TV series on at the same time; I remember watching that show, but it didn't last either.

The first episode of "Kodiak" was broadcast on September 13, 1974 - a Friday. Friday the 13th. How much more doomed could it get?

Could a Zombie Survive On a Diet of Human Brains?

There's another issue with brains: They're high in fat. This largely comes down to myelin, the coating on axons—those fibers that connect different parts of the brain—which functions in a way not dissimilar to the plastic insulation on a wire. Brains are also very high in cholesterol; Fitbit claims that 1 pound of lamb’s brain contains 20 times your daily recommended cholesterol intake.
...
"The regions of the brain have different characteristics: gray matter is high in protein, for instance. In white matter, the fiber tracks that connect the brain cells are fatty, and since there are more neurons to connect in human brains than in animal brains, it would be a fattier meal than an animal brain. And cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) might be salty."

But brains do contain quite a lot of vitamins and nutrients. There’s vitamin C in there, plus B12, iron, and niacin. "While eating a human brain wouldn’t help your own brain, it might contribute to a balanced diet,"
