Late Night Celebrates the Final 36 Hours of Trump in Charge – The New York Times

“Sources say that tomorrow, on his last full day in office, the president is prepared to issue around 100 pardons and commutations. Why so many? Well, there’s reportedly a lucrative market for pardons. Finally, POTUS is running a business that makes money.” — STEPHEN COLBERT “He’s calling it ‘The Olive Pardon.’ When you’re here, you’re a crime family.” — STEPHEN COLBERT “President Trump tomorrow is reportedly planning to issue at least 100 pardons and commutations. He said he wanted to give so many so that it would be even more hilarious when Giuliani doesn’t get one.” — SETH MEYERS “You can actually bet on who Trump will pardon, for real. And you know who the odds-on favorite is celebrity-wise? Lil Wayne, Trump’s buddy. They bonded over a mutual love of hip-hop and cough syrup.” — JIMMY ...

A new COVID-19 challenge: Mutations rise along with cases – Associated Press

The race against the virus that causes COVID-19 has taken a new turn: Mutations are rapidly popping up, and the longer it takes to vaccinate people, the more likely it is that a variant that can elude current tests, treatments and vaccines could emerge. The coronavirus is becoming more genetically diverse, and health officials say the high rate of new cases is the main reason. Each new infection gives the virus a chance to mutate as it makes copies of itself, threatening to undo the progress made so far to control the pandemic. On Friday, the World Health Organization urged more effort to detect new variants. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a new version first identified in the United Kingdom may become dominant in the U.S. by March. Although it doesn’t cause more...

Santa Cruz County slows down their vaccination process due to Moderna’s newest COVID-19 vaccine Lot 41L20A – KSBW Monterey

Out of an abundance of caution, Santa Cruz County is slowing down their vaccination process after learning Moderna’s newest COVID-19 vaccine, Lot 41L20A, has caused allergic reactions to less than 10 people in Southern California.“Anaphylactic shock refers to a drop in blood pressure due to an allergic reaction. Most of us think of it in terms of like a bee sting if you’re allergic to bee stings, you can go into shock,” explained David Ghilarducci M.D., Deputy Health Officer for Santa Cruz County. “But again, that reaction is pretty rare. It’s one in 100,000 from the trials that we’ve seen. I don’t want people to be too worried about that. If it does happen, it’s easily treated.”Ghilarducci explained Santa Cruz County has received 5,300 doses of the lot and has not given any of the v...

Pasta and Potatoes, the Peruvian Way

As much as we’ve been led to believe that chicken soup will “heal the soul” for most people, comfort food is its own irrational, illogical, and totally subjective category. In Don’t Call It Comfort Food, a new TASTE essay series, writers share the recipes (and not-recipes) that define comfort for them.  I’ve been an immigrant most of my life, but everywhere I’ve lived, I have sought solace by cooking the creole food of my birthplace, Lima, Peru. One of the most comforting constants has been tallarines rojos with papa a la huancaína—a unique combination of spaghetti with tomato sauce and potatoes bathed in a spicy cheese sauce that my grandmother and mother prepared for family beach picnics and community potlucks in Lima when I was a child.

Caitlyn Jenner Says Shes “Too Controversial” For the Trans Community – E! Online

But the former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star also said it's been "disappointing" because she "thought I could really make a difference and change the world." She reflected, "And in a lot of ways I did just being myself, but I mean, I try to do things politically." Caitlyn, who admitted to being "more on the Republican side than anything," recalled her past charity work for LGBTQ organizations and how they treated her, claiming, "Near the end, I would help some of the organizations here in the Los Angeles area and they would have an event that I helped pay for and they would ask me not to come cause I'm too controversial." She added. "I've had members of the community just tear into me and that's like, 'Guys, I'm only trying to help them. I'm here to help." As upsetting as thi...
