Blue Angels are the worst. Total noise and air pollution, for outdated tech propaganda. Whhhhy do we have to endure this every year. Why.

If nobody drank bottled water (and we installed fountains/filling stations to compensate) how much delivery congestion would be cut down.

I have no idea, but am guessing a measurable amount.
A thing you notice in countries with much better infrastructure, in addition to great transit, and bike lanes, and public space, is you can refill a water bottle easily.
During prohibition, often quite massive Temperance Fountains were installed all over big cities. We could do that now. Some airports have done to great success.

Is there any polling data to indicate Americans a) understand the debt ceiling limit and b) give a shit about which party steps up to raise it?

Feels like *such* an inside the Beltway bit of agonizing
Anyway show me any politician whose reelection bid was spoiled by voting to raise the debt ceiling, I’ll wait
Another reason this is an entirely manufactured debate

1/ This weekend @MotherJones and @reveal/@CIRonline published a big investigation into conditions inside the Fanjul's sugar Dominican plantations, which provides much of America's sugar and in which workers face horrible conditions: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
2/ @Sandy_Tolan and Euclides Cordero Nuel spent two years trying to find a Haitian boy trafficked to the cane fields 20 years ago, a mission that eventually morphed into documenting the full picture of current abuse: revealnews.org/podcast/the-bi…
3/ 20 years ago, kidnapping gangs took kids and adults from Haiti to work on Domincan plantations; today some 20,000 Haitians work there without papers or any protections.

Reminder that the recall cost the taxpayers of California some $276 million. (Plus the gobs donors spent.)

Seems like that could have been put to better use.

In a pandemic.

And a climate crisis.

And a housing crisis.
"Reform the recall" campaign should start tomorrow. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Exit polls (which, grains of salt, but usually about particular demographics) show that Californians approve of mask mandates and other ant-pandemic measures.

Shang-Chi was really good. And a great SF hills chase scene, up there with the best of them.
Also it's really nice to have a movie where lead male/female cis-het characters can nonetheless just be friends, and super convincingly so.
I am however confused by how this movie fits into the MCU timeline. And guess I shouldn't I have skipped Iron Man 3 after all?

100%. It's a mystery to me why this wasn't included in Biden's announcements today.

Mandate you'll need to be fully vaccinated to fly for Thanksgiving and watch a whole bunch of hesitant/stubborn but not totally insane people leap at the chance for a jab.
Hey, don't want to get vaccinated? You can drive 1,500 miles to grandma's. Your choice!
Proof of vaccination to get through TSA would cut down on all this anti-masker insanity in airports and on planes.

Yes, the lines would be hellacious as it was rolled out.

Doubling the "refuse to wear masks fines in airports and on planes" fine is insufficient.
