In many of these #quarantinediaries posts, I’ve mentioned shortages and empty shelves I’ve seen seen in stores where I live (suburban Minneapolis). Today, something different. Fully stocked shelves at the Aldi in Chanhassen. They had everything I was looking for there. All the things that had vanished from the shelves in the early stages of the coronapocalypse were back. Even several hundred packets of yeast.
I’ve posted a lot of “doom and gloom” about supply chains, so a bit of good news for a change. 😁

White House officials have asked for content to be edited or removed which pushed back against numerous false claims about the election, including that Democrats are behind a mass election fraud scheme. CISA officials have chosen not to delete accurate information.
In particular, one person said, the White House was angry about a CISA post rejecting a conspiracy theory that falsely claims an intelligence agency supercomputer and program, purportedly named Hammer and Scorecard, could have flipped votes nationally. No such system exists, according to Krebs, election security experts and former U.S. officials.
