Y’all want the good news first or the bad news?
Good news: the Wisconsin Supreme Court upset is more than just a win in one of the 20
most important races of all of 2020, as @AriBerman said.
Courts flips, and it will decides Wisconsin election law, prevent GOP cheating.
1/
2/ A win by 8+ points statewide Wisconsin? Huge.
GOP won a seat last year by 1 point.

3/ And regardless of pandemic and GOP legislature’s bad faith strategy.

That’s the good news...
But this is the bad news:

@justinamash is flirting with playing libertarian spoiler/fascism abettor.
Ugh more bad news. I was wrong: The Wisconsin Supreme Court did not flip . It went 5-2 conservative to 4-3 conservative:

It turns out the @patriots did find Tom Brady's replacement, and went even bigger:

From Brady's #MAGA hat...

to drafting a kicker with a tattoo of a far-right militia with ties to white supremacy.

(He says he'll cover it now. Why not earlier?)

Keep in mind Bill Belichick's fawning letter to Trump on the eve of the 2016 election.
Bob Kraft's fawning endorsement non-endorsement of Trump on the eve of the 2016 Mass. primary.

"Do your job?"
It sounds better in the original German.
The reporting suggests he knew about the tattoo for a while, knew what it meant but left it on until now.
The Patriots knew about it and drafted him anyway.

It explains why this received media attention immediately when he was drafted.

(Who drafts a kicker in the 5th anyway??)

Today is Yom Ha'Shoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Today I note: Eugenics, a core Nazi idea, had its roots in America a century ago, and has returned explicitly today in arguments for ending shutdowns:
Covid19 kills only the elderly
the sick
the weak
who are a burden anyway.
When Covid-19 came for the elderly, I didn't say anything, because I was not elderly.

When Covid-19 came for the sick, I didn't say anything, because I was not sick.

When Covid-19 came for the weak, I didn't say anything, because I would not admit my own weaknesses...

When Covid-19 came for people of color, I didn't say anything, because Jews have become "white."

When Covid-19 came for the big cities, I didn't say anything, because I had the privilege to stop going to work in a big city and shelter in a wealthy suburb...

More credibility shredding from @AlexBerenson, PhD in Clickbait Sciences:
This one is so obviously obtuse it hurts. Whether a virus kills more old people than young people is irrelevant.

If a pandemic killed 100k centigenerians, but 50k under 50... because it kills people... would that be data against precautions?

He is cynically playing to age-ism.
I know there aren’t 100K centigenerians to kill, but imagine if a virus wiped them all out...
and also killed lots of middle aged people because it is highly infectious and fatal to .1% or even .01 percent under 50... You’d take precautions to avoid millions of deaths.
