Until the coronavirus pandemic, their meetings took place quietly, every day, discreet gatherings in the basements of churches, a spare room at the YMCA, the back of a cafe. But members of Alcoholics Anonymous and other groups of recovering substance abusers found the doors quickly shut this spring, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“AA members I speak to are well beyond the initial fascination with the idea that they are looking at a screen of Hollywood Squares,” said Dr. Lynn Hankes, 84, who has been in recovery for 43 years and is a retired physician in Florida with three decades of experience treating addiction. “They thank Zoom for their very survival.”

Forget about resurrecting a sourdough starter, filming TikTok videos or binge-watching “The Crown.”
In the quest for virus-safe fun during the pandemic, my friends and I have been meeting regularly on Zoom to play a raunchy online game that features jokes about sexual practices, Miley Cyrus, vegans and “Star Wars” characters.
Sure, it’s juvenile. But, hey, watching sourdough rise can get really dull real quick.

Developer Rockstar still has plenty of supernatural ideas for its Red Dead Online, which may yet appear in future events and online modes.
Red Dead Online could get more supernatural events like Dead of Night in future updates. Rockstar’s cowboy epic Red Dead Redemption series may be over 10 years old, but that hasn’t stopped the studio from lavishing it with the love and attention it usually saves for its primary cash cow, Grand Theft
