- County Dep't. of Public Health Points of Distribution - None near me.
- Other Large-Scale Sites - Ditto.
- L.A.F.D. Sites (Walk-in) - Same as above.
- Community Clinics - Gee-zus, this neighborhood is very underserved.
- Pharmacies (The only sites w/in walking/reasonable public transport distance of the bunker are pharmacies.) O.K. then; private enterprise will certainly have it handled! My ass. I doubt if any pharmacies have any supply of the vaccine, considering none of them have appointments available, & every Ralphs on some page had the same no app'ts. available at this time message.
I'll just note that as far as medication & relief go, I was able to have some powerful (& quite citrus-y) medication delivered to the front door of the bunker w/in mins. of placing an on-line order. You'd better Build Back Better than that, Biden.

It's Murder I Tells Ya!
Let's cut up the Crown Prince!David Ignatius / Washington Post:
Biden stood up for Jamal Khashoggi. What happened to him should never happen again. — President Biden has decided to “name and shame” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, by disclosing a CIA report that says the crown prince knew about and probably ordered the operation that killed Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Not Even Diagnosable, Just A Bored Idiot W/ Too Much Time On Her Hands
She called “Jesus Christ … my lord and savior.” She called her husband “the love of my life.”The next year, she cheated on him. According to court records, they were separated by March.
Stating in her complaint that her marriage was “irretrievably broken,” she filed for divorce in July. To lessen a noticeable overbite, she got braces in August*. Abruptly reversing course, she agreed to an attempt to reconcile with her husband in September.
The fulcrum of this evident frenzy was CrossFit. Jim Chambers told me he met Greene that year when he bought a gym, or “box,” in the industry lingo, at which she was trying to be a trainer, a part-time part of the staff. Greene, it was immediately clear to Chambers, and to anybody else who cared to notice, he told me, was engaged in extramarital activity with one trainer and then another. (Last year, The New Yorker reported that she had these affairs. This month, The Daily Mail named the two men.)
“It wasn’t being hid,” Chambers told me.
“I saw her stick her tongue down the throats” of the men, he tapped into a post on social media after Greene started running for office—screenshots of which began to ping from phone to phone of interested GOP operatives.

Local Schadenfreude: Went To Washington, Lost His Job
"Identified by a coworker". Bet he was a popular guy at work.A Riverside man who believes in QAnon and other conspiracy theories was arrested Thursday for participating in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol, authorities said.Andrew Alan Hernandez, 44, was identified by a coworker who recognized him in a news photo of rioters who stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory over incumbent Donald Trump in the November presidential election, according to an FBI statement filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
Hernandez was fired from his job after his Riverside employer confronted him about wearing clothing identifying the company when he joined the mob’s violent entry into the Capitol, the FBI statement said. The company received a complaint from someone who noticed the clothing in a photo on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, according to the FBI.

De Facto Amendments Made To Dying Piece Of 18th Century Paper
It gets worse. May require using an incognito/in private tab, but worth it.When I step back to look at the legacy of President Donald Trump, a surprising conclusion emerges: He has substantially altered the Constitution. His changes aren’t formal, of course. But his informal amendments are important. If left to stand, they threaten to make Congress an advisory body and give carte blanche to rogue presidents.
The surprising aspect of this conclusion is not that the Constitution can be informally amended. That has been the usual way of making revisions. In 1803, the Supreme Court granted itself the power to review laws and overturn them. In 1824, the states tied the electoral vote to the popular vote. Neither of those changes was inscribed on parchment or envisioned by the Founders, but today we can’t imagine our constitutional system without them.

On the other hand, schadenfreude is one of my favorite emotions. (I experience few.)Daniel Arkin / NBC News:
The number of dead rivals the population of Atlanta or Sacramento, California. — The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus topped 500,000 on Sunday,according to an NBC News tally - a milestone that underscores the grave threat the virus still poses nationwide even as more Americans get vaccinated.The coronavirus has claimed the lives of more than 2,462,000 people worldwide, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The death toll in the U.S. is the highest in the world, even though the country has less than 5 percent of the global population.
