Jenn Takahashi remembers March 27 as the date she panic-bought a Nintendo Switch Lite. She realised her colleagues were playing an online game called Animal Crossing in which your character, usually an anthropomorphic animal, moves to a deserted island, helps develop it, and then hangs out there with other creatures. );

“I saw this screenshot they posted with their animals all wearing these matching grape hats,” she said. “I felt really sad I wasn’t included.”
Massachusetts lawmakers are in store for another pay raise.
Two years after Gov. Charlie Baker certified a raise of 5.93 percent for the 200 members of the House and Senate for the 2019-2020 session, the governor in a letter to Treasurer Deb Goldberg on Wednesday advised her that a 6.46 percent increase is warranted in the base pay of legislators based on changes in median household income.
The raise in the base pay for legislators last session increased it by $3,709 to $66,256. A 6.46 percent increase works out to a $4,280 raise to $70,536.
In early 2017, legislators ignited an uproar by voting through a generous package of pay raises for themselves and other public officials, outside of the changes in compensation that the governor is required to make every two years. The adjustments in legislative base pay are required biennially under the state constitution, based on changes in the median household income statewide. Lawmakers got a 4.2 percent raise at the start of the 2017-20
