Not strictly Hollywood, but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Liv… is deeply anti-Mao (and worth seeing).
At least, pasting in works on keep.google.com/ . I don't remember the UI for adding checkboxes on the web version, though, but I think it's possible.

“I can’t change or condemn the current situation in China. And if you can’t change it, all you can do is run.”
@fu_claire, @jotted and I look at how China's strict Covid controls, dragging into their third year, have some Chinese looking to the exits. nytimes.com/2022/05/20/world…

Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data to @US_FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.

Are there currency controls these days in Argentina? If so, was your initial transaction sending dollars into Argentina? If both are true, then perhaps you should have made more?

I think there used to be some cases where it was true, before the Clinton-era EITC expansion, possibly only when counted in combination with other anti-poverty programs.

This is a good example of how accurate, factual information can sometimes mislead people who lack the right framework for understanding it.
There is a serious heatwave in India & Pakistan, but the depicted land surface temperatures can be 10°C (18°F) or more hotter than the air.
Land temps of 62°C - frightening killing heat wave. We are doing this, + refusing to stop. Horrific.

The environmental movement of the last generation was partly organized around stopping things. But to save the planet we are going to have to build things at an unprecedented speed and scale. We need to make it easier, not harder, to build big, planet saving projects.

Also, I definitely modify recipes for baking, too. But I either (a) use a calculator (e.g., for substitutions) or (b) adjust by small increments each iteration (e.g., changing hydration of a bread by 1.5% or 2%).
Increments may be large when changing amount of sugar in a cake.

I use a recipe (I think for Pesto, from a @bittman cookbook) that says half a clove of garlic, and I change it to half a head.
I do some of A, B, and C. Though often modifications the first time are because I don't have the requested ingredients.
(I said B.)

Friend with kid at Beijing school...
One child tested positive in kid's class, so the whole class was bussed to a hotel for quarantine. No parents allowed. Teacher went along as quarantinee and chaperone.
Rest of school ordered home. To their delight, no online classes so far.
