Believe It Or Not, laying down on your back with A Walking Cane Under Your Neck (maybe even for surprisingly long times) might help You.
I have actually used numerous other things like that. Even BaseBalls under the neck. A Brick (fold a towel over it first). A Steel Pipe. I even have a hard pillow I made; I purchased A Bag Of 48 Golf Balls that I fully put in a pillowcase and tied a knot to keep it in.
Under the neck and even the upper back.
Damn, it really helps My HeadBanger's Neck. Traction. Yup.
I have empirically-noticed that this particular Massage Tool (down below) helps that Shoulder Blade area back there if You sit at the sofa and Lean On The Backrest with the tool propped in-between. Yeah.

Agnes Boisvert, an ICU nurse at St. Luke's hospital in downtown Boise, Idaho, spends every day trying to navigate between two worlds. One is a swirl of beeping monitors, masked emotion and death; the other, she says, seems oblivious to the horrors occurring every hour of every day.

Washington — The House approved the final version of President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill on Wednesday, handing the new president a significant legislative victory as he works to stabilize an economy still struggling to rebound from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill, known as the American Rescue Plan Act, passed by a vote of 220 to 211. One Democrat — Representative Jared Golden of Maine — joined all Republicans in voting against the measure.

+ Apple rejected Parler's latest attempt to come back to the App Store

It looks like Parler’s App Store exile will continue. Bloomberg reports that Apple recently rejected the app’s bid to get back onto iPhones, citing “highly objectionable content.”
Apple had originally kicked Parler out of the App Store in January, shortly after the riots at the U.S Capitol. Apple said at the time that the app needed to improve its content moderation and make a bigger effort to keep dangerous and hateful content off its platform. The company said the suspension would be in place “until we receive an update that is compliant with the App Store Review Guidelines and you have demonstrated your ability to effectively moderate and filter the dangerous and harmful content on your service.”
According to Bloomberg, Apple rejected Parler's latest bid to rejoin the App Store late last month. Apple reportedly told Parler that the latest iteration of its policies were not “sufficient to comply with App Store Review guidelines.”
At issue is not just Parler’s policies, but the fact that the app is still filled with the kind of “highly objectionable content” Apple wanted it to address. ““n fact, simple searches reveal highly objectionable content, including easily identified offensive uses of derogatory terms regarding race, religion and sexual orientation, as well as Nazi symbols,” Apple told Parler.

+ MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s Social Media Announcement Gets The Treatment On Twitter

Mike Lindell — the Donald Trump-supporting CEO of MyPillow who was booted from Twitter in January for peddling the ex-president’s 2020 election conspiracy lies — said Wednesday he is setting up his own social media network.
The platform ― called “Vocl” — will be a YouTube-Twitter crossover and launch in a matter of weeks, Lindell told Business Insider.
“It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen,” boasted Lindell, who Dominion Voting Systems is currently suing for $1.3 billion in damages for what the company describes as his “viral disinformation campaign” about voter fraud following the 2020 election.
“It’s all about being able to be vocal again and not to be walking on eggshells,” Lindell added of his incoming platform, which some commentators suggested could become a rival to so-called “free speech” apps Gab or Parler and may even entice ex-President Donald Trump, who was banned from multiple platforms including Twitter for inciting the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, into signing up.
While Trump supporters lapped up the news, critics responded with dings and alternative mocking names for the site:

+ Prosecutor: Man propped dead wife on sofa in front of kids
Tue, March 9, 2021, 9:46 PM
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California man who killed his wife propped up her body on a sofa, told their children she was drunk and had them open Christmas presents in front of her body, a prosecutor told jurors at his murder trial.
“This Christmas story does not have a happy ending, and unfortunately this is not just a story, it is real life,” Heather Brown, senior deputy district attorney in Orange County, said Monday as trial began for William Wallace of Anaheim, the Orange County Register reported.
Za'Zell Preston, 26, was taking college classes in hopes of becoming a domestic violence counselor when she was killed in 2011 by a man who already had served jail time for beating her, the paper said.

WASHINGTON — A member of the far-right nationalist Proud Boys was in communication with a person associated with the White House in the days just before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
Location, cellular and call record data revealed a call tying a Proud Boys member to the Trump White House, the official said. The FBI has not determined what they discussed, and the official would not reveal the names of either party.
The connection revealed by the communications data comes as the FBI intensifies its investigation of contacts among far-right extremists, Trump White House associates and conservative members of Congress in the days before the attack.
I often have Sore Tightass Neck/UpperBack/Shoulder/Pectoral Muscles, Paper Doll...
Sometimes one of the damn troublesome culprits is A Shoulder Blade (or one of the surrounding muscles around there.
I have noticed that Laying On Top Of A Rolling Pin, Pipe, Walking Cane, Or Broomstick Sometimes Helps (under the neck, head, upper back, blades, spine, etc.). I even made some weirdass Pillows that also help. Yup.
