"20 million voters stayed home"
https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_Analysis_of_voter_turnout_in_the_2024_general_election#Historical_voter_turnout_rates
Lowest Voter Turnout: Hawaii 50.3%
Highest Voter Turnout: Wisconsin 76.9%
Lowest Red State Turnout: Oklahoma 53.3%
Hawaii is solid blue.
Highest Blue State Turnout: Vermont 70.9%
Highest Red State Turnout Montana 68.2%
I don't know what these numbers mean, Hawaii and Vermont probably vote in very similar ways, ditto with Oklahoma and Montana...

Cell Block Tango a great choice!

A favorite beach scene is "Summer Rental" (1985) where John Candy is carrying all the beach gear through a really crowded beach.

Yes I was caught in a riptide when I was very young, we used to go camping at state beaches where they would have lifeguard and ranger shows in the evenings. The lifeguard shows always talked about riptides and the importance of swimming parallel to the shore to escape them. I wasn't a very good swimmer, but I survived. Nowadays I don't go out more than waist-deep.

My holiday's complete
I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the

Life of Brian is correct.
I think Elon is considered GenX.
Every day spent talking about Greenland is one less day talking about the budget for Border Patrol and ICE agents...
From the Wikipedia link in the OP:
According to Forbes magazine, the [Resnick] Wonderful Company uses "at least 120 billion gallons [450 million m3] a year, two-thirds on nuts, enough to supply San Francisco's 852,000 residents for a decade".
I don't know how to put that number in perspective.
There are 39 million people in California, and I never heard of anybody not having water to drink or shower. Yeah the water bills can get pretty high at times.
There's nothing new under the sun.

Fu-Go (ふ号[兵器], fugō [heiki], lit. "Code 'Fu' [Weapon]") was an incendiary balloon weapon (風船爆弾, fūsen bakudan, lit. "balloon bomb") deployed by Japan against the United States during World War II. It consisted of a hydrogen-filled paper balloon 33 feet (10 m) in diameter, with a payload of four 11-pound (5.0 kg) incendiary devices and one 33-pound (15 kg) high-explosive anti-personnel bomb. The uncontrolled balloons were carried over the Pacific Ocean from Japan to North America by fast, high-altitude air currents, today known as the jet stream, and used a sophisticated sandbag ballast system to maintain their altitude. The bombs were intended to ignite large-scale forest fires and spread panic.
I don't know how powerful a 33lb "anti-personnel bomb" is.
WTF is Melania wearing in that photo? Some sort of giant Pilgrim collar?
The restaurant/bar "Moonshadows" on Pacific Coast Highway burned down. That's where Mel Gibson likes to get his drink on and then call policewomen "Sugar-tits" and blame all the world's problems on the Jews.
