shinohai: Have been wanting to submit article BingoBoingo but haven't seen much interesting going on that doesn't have "corona" in the headline.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Well, this is indeed the challenge
shinohai: Quite so. I'll keep sifting.
BingoBoingo: ty
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: Are you interested in contributing to the new thing as well?
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: I am.
BingoBoingo: Thank you.
thimbronion: My pleasure.
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: The beat you've been covering for Qntra is still interesting here for the "Is the USSA really first world?" question
shinohai: Are shitcoin lulz still acceptable topic ?
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: I enjoy that beat. I did run into trouble coming up with stories for that on a weekly basis.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: They can be, but the tack on that may have to expand out a bit further to scammy "financial services" in general.
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: That could be a challenge, but thankfully you seem to be in breadline country with the opportunity to take some pictures of the povertization unfolding
thimbronion: Apparently people now have to register for time slots to go in to the supermarket.
thimbronion: My unfortunate chef can't buy any rice or lentils, so has to use my supply.
BingoBoingo: Ouch, that's some pretty good blog or reporting fodder. "A Letter From California Under Lockdown"
thimbronion: Yes, personal so not sure how to turn it into a story.
thimbronion: Meanwhile according to some reports half of people already had and got over corona virus and didn't know it.
thimbronion: Oh, I see, sure I could write a letter to the editor. I will have a go at it.
BingoBoingo: Or just write it as a letter, mind if I use your first and last name as the byline to get this paper off on the "using actual names or names that look convincingly real" foot
BingoBoingo: Anyways, when you've got it written give a think as to where you want to publish the letter.
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: yes you can use my real name.
