Here are the top five comment generating posts of the past week:
California's Theme Parks Won't Reopen Anytime Soon
90.5 WESA: Theme parks in California say new state guidelines will keep them closed indefinitely, affecting hundreds of thousands of workers and businesses across the state. The presidents of Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood and other theme parks say they're considering all options to speed their reopening, including potential legal action.Hack to get rid of Zoom fatigue
www.fastcompany.com: Everyone keeps telling me to go outside! Take a walk! Get some fresh air! But here’s the thing: I like being inside. I like sitting. I’m perfectly happy opening a window for my daily dose of fresh air. Leaving the house (!) for a walk is not the kind of break I want. If I’m going to take a midday break, it’ll be to watch reruns of The Office or do a crossword puzzle.Masking Speech

One example centers on the detrimental consequences, with respect to speech intelligibility, of wearing a face mask.

The maze measures 162 feet wide and 180 feet long, with interior walls standing 4 feet tall.The Problem with Being Called Bossy
SoundGirls.org: I was recently listening to an episode of The Guilty Feminist podcast titled ‘Being Bossy with Carrie Quinlan.’ It is quite possible you are already rolling your eyes due to the use of that awful B-word. Every woman and young girl has been called bossy at some point in their life, and the connotation that comes with it is not a good one. I love this podcast and this particular episode piqued my interest. Being too emotional was also brought up, which might evoke a second eye roll from some readers.
