After 6 months of trying, none of the alternatives were any good, so I’m back.

@IanCopeland5 @MakisMedicine “Vernon County, where Viroqua is located, has by far the lowest rate of vaccinations against measles in the state. Only 42 percent of 2-year-olds had the shot last year, according to data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.”

[Evan Newman @EvanNewman09]

@IanCopeland5 @MakisMedicine On the topic of Wisconsin - it’s experiencing a large and growing measles outbreak among its (you guessed it) unvaccinated population:

Trump always pressures Zelenskyy.

Trump never pressures Putin.

@policytensor @EdwardGLuce Are you dumb?

@SonnyBunch Thought of this as the movie was ending:

“The Social Network” exists as a movie within the world of “The Social Reckoning”, so it would have actually been kind of strange if Eisenberg played Zuckerberg in “Reckoning”.

@PollsAndVotes @mgraps @NFL I’ve switched to mostly listening to Packers games while doing other things; changing the channel during the numerous commercial breaks.

[Robert Meyer Burnett, Viceroy of Verisimilitude @RMBee]

Great point.

[Charles Franklin @PollsAndVotes]

I'm hardly the first to see this but here are flags thrown per (plays + pre-snap flags) in NFL games. I include declined and offsetting penalties. I'm focused on interruption of play, rather than yards charged. As large as it is, it feels like more when watching.

@JenniferEValent @atrupar Apparently @GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer used to be held in high esteem by a bipartisan cross-section of his House colleagues and fellow MN Congressional delegation members.

Then, he sold his soul for a leadership position or something.

[Evan Newman @EvanNewman09]

@atrupar No Minnesotan has sold out his country and his state more than @GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer has; a total collapse of any sense of morality out of that man.

It’s like he’s suffered a personal apocalypse over the last 6 years and he’ll say anything to stay in The One’s good graces.

@sportsmike9134 @RMBee If so, then I’d say it’s a happy accident that the role was recast, because even if that were Sorkin’s intention it’d be irrelevant; Eisenberg playing that role in “Reckoning” would have been fourth wall-breaking.

[Evan Newman @EvanNewman09]

@atrupar Has anyone asked Lindsey’s sister for her opinion?

Does she even know where Ukraine is?

[Evan Newman @EvanNewman09]

@atrupar Reminder that her son-in-law is running for her husband’s old House seat in northwestern WI.

@WisDems have their best candidate in years running to stop him:

@VoteHub Crowley is getting massively outspent and is trying to win a 3rd term in a row for Dems in WI. Seems like that one will be super close.

@rossacrosswi Me too.

“The Social Reckoning” was also good; throwback to old school investigative journalism movies.

@ThatChrisGore @RMBee @mypalal Is this a sarcastically sanctimonious response or is it genuine?

[Evan Newman @EvanNewman09]

@JasonKPargin A book needs to be written about the creativity that comes from being trapped in an ice box for 6 months of the year (RLM, MST3K, etc.)

[Jason Pargin, author of John Dies at the End, etc @JasonKPargin]

An underrated aspect of RLM's success is specifically that they seem to have no Hollywood/influencer aspirations. They're always trying to make the videos better, not to optimize for big-$$$ brand deals or a future streaming series, but to keep making their fans happy.
