I know there's a narrative that Republicans get covid vaccines less than Democrats. However, I haven't seen the data. Does anyone know where to get the actual figures?

Cheers

The US has officially been taken over by the numbskulls.

Too many choke points in our civilization.

More resilience and backups needed.

Ran across this, discussing the extended drought in the Western US.

Any thoughts?

I've been meaning to blog on this and other things, have some stuff going on and not feeling great. But it looks bad, doesn't it, and for the fire season this August and September....

The drought attracted the attention of the BBC. Their climate reporter said it had been going on since 2000.

Be interesting to come back to this in the years time and see if it's a passing phase of a step change to a drier climate.
