In a sharp turnabout, federal health officials on Thursday advised that Americans who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus may stop wearing masks or maintaining social distance in most indoor and outdoor settings, regardless of size.

Whoa, wasn’t expecting that. Something actually sensible. How often does that happen?

I can’t handle how upsetting this map is https://t.co/vLAXAugNhx

There is absolutely nothing right about this. No one who made this map has ever had good barbecue or would know it if they found it.

The best BBQ I’ve ever had was from some smoker pulled behind a 1960s Ford pickup in an abandoned K-Mart parking lot down in the ass end of Georgia. Now that’s the kind of place you find real BBQ. I still think about that BBQ sometimes, and sigh.
