Rebekah Jones, who says she was fired from her job in charge of the state’s official Covid-19 database in May for refusing to manipulate its figures, claimed on social media to have evidence that employees at Florida’s department of health “have been instructed this week to change the numbers and begin slowly deleting deaths and cases so it looks like Florida is improving next week in the lead-up to July 4, like they’ve ‘made it over the hump’.”
Atari! I remember playing an ancient pong machine as a child and was utterly fascinated by it. Not long after, the Atari 2600 became a thing and again was fascinated. I look back at them today and see blocks and blobs, but back in the day those blocks and blobs were the height of wonderful graphics. To be able to play "arcade" games in your home was beyond wonderful.It is a pity, I really love the work of Nolan Bushnell... and this was one of his more lasting companies he founded.

I, unfortunately, live in one of those parts.I think California is an outlier in that analysis.
