And another day that ‘has only just begun,’ that ended with another censuring, that was a ‘toxic’ workplace, that lead to breaking points in English soccer, that left Joss Whedon’s legacy in shambles, and that offered up ‘rage rooms’ comes to a close:

Donald Trump is cleared of inciting a mob to attack the US Capitol. What it means for him and the country.
“I guess we now know that the Pro-Insurrection Wing of the Republican Party includes 43 Republican Senators.” — Dan Pfeiffer
“43 Republican Senators voted to protect the man who incited a mob to kill them.” — Jon Favreau
McConnell blames Trump but voted not guilty anyway.
Trump’s Lawyers Won’t Renounce the ‘Big Lie’—and Neither Will the GOP. The ex-president’s false claim of a stolen election is already powering new voter suppression.

English soccer at breaking point over abuse on social media. Death threats. Racist abuse. Sexist slurs. And social media accounts allowed to stay active even after spreading bile.

After nearly a year of being trapped in pandemic isolation, some people just want to pick up a sledgehammer and smash something to smithereens...Before the coronavirus, rage rooms where patrons pay to obliterate objects were a lark, a place to go with friends or to let off steam after a breakup. But Budde, a licensed therapist for 13 years, sees her rooms as valuable therapy during the pandemic.
