I first became aware that I was losing my mind in late December. It was a Friday night, the start of my 40-somethingth pandemic weekend: Hours and hours with no work to distract me, and outside temperatures prohibitive of anything other than staying in. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to fill the time. “What did I used to … do on weekends?” I asked my boyfriend, like a soap-opera amnesiac. He couldn’t really remember either.

A San Antonio man who took part in the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month went before a federal judge Tuesday afternoon.
Matthew Mazzocco was arrested without incident on Sunday according to the FBI. He is one of nearly 100 people arrested and charged so far with crimes related to the Jan 6 assault. He is one of at least seven Texans identified by federal investigators.
Mazzocco clad in detention blues with a blue surgical mask appeared before Judge Henry Bemporad on Zoom.
The 37-year-old was charged with knowingly entering a restricted building and violent entry and disorderly conduct. The two misdemeanor charges come with a combined maximum penalty of one and a half years in prison and an additional year of supervised release as well as $105,000 in fines.
