I think a lot of people who were or had kids pre-internet streaming probably watched PBS, at least sometimes.

Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Reading Rainbow, Joy of Painting, Arthur, Bill Nye, Barney, Teletubbies, etc.

It's not like there were a lot of TV choices for kids if their parents couldn't afford cable (and some stations like Cartoon Network didn't even exist until 1992+, I think even Disney Channel was a premium channel like HBO).

According to Governor Newsom he wasn't communicated with at all.

> This time can also be significantly reduced through phone number hints from password reset flows in other services such as PayPal, which provide several more digits (ex. +14•••••1779)

I've never thought about this but it's extra scary. If you have the same phone number and email address with enough services and they all mask in a different order for reset hints...

Gerrymandering can affect voter sentiment and trigger polling location changes during redistricting, both of which can affect voter turnout[1][2][3] (though the research doesn't seem conclusive on the effect).

And thinking about it more, though I haven't seen if there are studies on it: there are probably manpower/fundraising effects from gerrymandering.

If you're able to protect your political power in one area that probably better enables you to amass resources to use in the area you can't gerrymander.

But all that said, both parties practice gerrymandering and I don't think there's strong evidence of a significant advantage over a major party from current gerrymandering at the national level.
