Absentee ballots, few spoiled, processed in Georgia counties
DeKalb election workers opening each exterior envelope, checking signatures on absentee ballots.
DECATUR, Ga. — In an airy room in a DeKalb County government building, two dozen workers spent Wednesday surrounded by boxes full of absentee ballots, with new bundles of them coming in every few hours.
Their job was to open each exterior envelope, check the voter information — and then pass along the interior envelope containing the voter’s secret ballot.

Most nights, people fight and scream outside the small room where Elizabeth Maldonado and her four children sleep—or try to, at least—at a homeless shelter in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood.

Grant Shapps signals seven-day quarantine for travellers after single ‘negative’ test
Grant Shapps has ruled out airport testing as he indicated quarantine could be cut to just a week for arrivals to the UK.
The Transport Secretary revealed the taskforce set up to design a testing regime for Britain would study two options, one of which would see arrivals self-isolating before being tested after a week which could halve the 14-day quarantine.
He also suggested the taskforce would explore pre-departure testing which is normally done up
Denver Happy Hour of the Week: Ace Eat Serve
I haven’t been down the East 17th Avenue restaurant strip in quite awhile. This is partly partly because of the pandemic, and partly because I’m still devastated that the Denver Bike Cafe and Tandem Bar are gone. But this past week my brother and I were on the hunt for an all-night happy hour and Ace East Serve popped up on our radar. In ordinary times, if you were searching for activity-paired drinking a little

What Happened When Nintendo Lawyers Came for a Sex Worker’s Name

“We’re really looking at this as an opportunity for our consigners and for us to work together, to see if we can make this work, because gosh, we don’t know what’s going to come in the spring,” Carlson said. “And it feels like there’s a chance that an in-person opportunity won’t happen again then, either.”

Can’t go to the pub? How to recreate your local at home
Atmosphere
Is it tragic to play pub ambient noise on YouTube? It is certainly tragic to, as I have just done, search eBay for cut-price Wetherspoon’s carpets. Less egregiously, you should soften your lighting, find a Spotify playlist that matches the music played at your local, and consider what kind of decoration defines your favourite pubs.

Is Adam Sandler’s latest Netflix movie, Hubie Halloween, bad on purpose? The Halloween caper is exactly what you’d expect of a comedy whose primary joke is that “Hubie Dubois” sounds a little like Scooby-Doo and a huge departure from Adam Sandler’s last movie, the critically lauded Uncut Gems
