The majority of Californians live near the coast. There's an east/west conservative/liberal divide, so it is unsurprising the mostly rural parts of the state have higher infection rates.

We have been low here for a while, and I keep tabs with the county health department, but I think I am seeing a few more people out these days with masks.

I hate this trend as citing polls as evidence, especially crappy polls.

Yes, that's one shitty poll reported shittily by a shit polling company. With an idiotic interpretation of the wholly implausible numbers.
I suspect that some RWNJ derived those numbers using a rectal extraction technique. There is no reason to treat them seriously, especially as we know that the number of vaccine-induced (or even vaccine-associated) deaths is very, very, very small. Idiocy, dishonesty, who knows? RWNJs specialize in both!

“Died Suddenly” was the anti-Covid vac flick (loaded with emotional content but easily debunked) that was big talking point a few weeks ago.

I saw this show up on the WaPo comments section almost immediately after it happened last night.It was less than an hour after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in Cincinnati that Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk decided to blame the injury on coronavirus vaccines.
He was circumspect in doing so, admittedly, offering his opportunistic observation with a wink rather than a shout.
“This is a tragic and all too familiar sight right now,” Kirk wrote on Twitter: “Athletes dropping suddenly.”
To someone outside of the narrative bubble that Kirk inhabits — the bubble Kirk actively inflates — this reads as a sober analysis of some subtle trend. To anyone familiar with Kirk and the right’s efforts to undercut confidence in coronavirus vaccines, though, what he’s saying is very obvious. Which was his point.

Novak Djokovic is set to miss the Indian Wells and Miami Open ATP 1000 events this year if he remains unvaccinated against COVID-19, after United States authorities said non-nationals will need to have taken their shots to enter the country.
Key points:
Former world number one Novak Djokovic will miss two key American tournaments unless he gets COVID-19 vaccinated
The US is keeping COVID vaccine requirements for non-nationals until April 10, with Indian Wells and Miami Open scheduled before then
Djokovic is now world number five, and if he misses the two big tournaments it will make it harder for him to rise up the rankings
A statement from the Transportation Security Administration on Wednesday said the requirement for foreign air travellers to be fully vaccinated against the disease would be in place until April 10.
Indian Wells runs from March 6-19 and the Miami Open from March 20-April 2. Djokovic risks missing the two important hardcourt tournaments if he does not take the vaccine.
The 35-year-old Serb was unable to defend his Australian Open crown last year after being deported on the eve of the hardcourt major due to his unvaccinated status.

“ In my opinion, you appear not to be sober," Ms Stewart told Magistrate Tavener.
"Can we request a sobriety test?
"You are determining my future and I want to know you're sober."
"Is that something we can request?" Mr Culleton asked.
The magistrate appeared annoyed at the comment but was measured in his response.
"There has to be a filter on what you say in court, Ms Stewart, but it appears you have none," he said.
"Don't insult me again … there is a limit to what I will tolerate."

I may be a little guy with an Inquisition fetish from a tiny country on the ass end of Europe, but it really does not strike me as a good thing to piss off the Magistrate of your case by calling him a drunk. That strikes me as either a suicidal level of arrogance, or just being suicidal and wanting to have some fun before inevitable death.

I think the plan is to later complain to a higher court that the judge is a mean person and a hater, who didn't treat them fairly because he was intolerably angry at them for no reason at all, when they asked a perfectly innocent, reasonable question.
Good plan, too. I think it's gonna work.
Nobody likes a hater.

That was my question, too. There is a pic posted of her in the RIP thread, it was the one that did the talking.

It is fairly widely stated that Diamond died of COVID. Because it was "reported" that she had been hospitalized for COVID late last year.
But the sourcing does not seem particularly strong for the claim she had been hospitalized for COVID. What's the best source for that? E.g.:
