Re. Rogan & Musk trying to bully @PeterHotez into having a "debate" w/raving lunatic, serial liar & convicted drug trafficker RFK Jr., here's @KFF's estimate, which put U.S. #COVID19 deaths attributable to not getting vaccinated at ~234K as of April 2022: healthsystemtracker.org/brief/covid19-…
...and here's my own estimate (using cruder methodology) which put it at between 180K - 235K as of March 2022:
acasignups.net/22/03/10/my-ow…
Finally, while this one doesn't try to specify the hard number who died due to not getting vaccinated specifically, here's the U.S. COVID death rate broken out by vaccination rate at the county level from 5/01/21 - 2/11/23:
acasignups.net/23/04/04/march… Image
Two notable things about this last graph: First, it isn't just that the least-vaccinated tenth of the U.S. population had 2.7x the COVID death rate as the most-vaccinated tenth, but how *linear* the death rate reduction is as you move from the least to most vaccinated brackets.
Second, this graph is virtually a mirror image of the COVID death rate breakout by *partisan lean* over the same time period: It ran 2.7x higher in the reddest tenth of the U.S. as in the bluest tenth (defined as the % who voted for Trump in 2020): ImageImage
And of course when you compare the partisan lean of every U.S. county to its COVID vaccination rate, well...yeah. Image

📣📣 I'm happy to report that I now have Dem state legislative fundraising pages set up for 41 states!

All 41 are available here (along w/my statewide races, U.S. House & U.S. Senate pages):
xforz.us/state-legislat…
As for the other 9 states:

--AL & MD don't have any legislative races this cycle.

--CT & ME legislative campaigns are publicly financed

--DE & HI only have 4 swing seats apiece & both are Dem supermajorities

--WY only has 5 swing seats & is a GOP supermajority
That leaves Louisiana & Mississippi, which both have their legislative elections *this* year...but they only have 3 Dems w/ActBlue pages running in competitive districts between them.

I've compiled a list of every #PIxar film's RT scores, budget/box office gross & *inflation adjusted* budget/box office gross.

Elemental, which looks stunning, is off to a terrible start...even though its *audience* score is the 4th highest in Pixar's history right now. Image
Elemental's *critical* score is poor for a Pixar film (it ranks just ahead of the 3 Cars movies, the Good Dinosaur & Lightyear), but each of those still grossed > $500M when adjusted for inflation, while Elemental appears to be praying it'll even hit $200M at the BO.
IOW, the quality of the movie itself does NOT seem to be the issue here--the animation is absolutely stunning and audiences who have actually *seen* it seem to love it. The main culprits seem to be lousy marketing, poor release timing (crowded field) & the streaming glut.

It’s now considered a bold position for a Republican to say we shouldn’t murder women for making their own healthcare decisions.
Anyway, Democrats really need to retake the House next year. secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…
Anyway, Democrats really need to hold the Senate next year. secure.actblue.com/donate/senateb…

TFW you find out that your former business partner is now a successful metal sculptor. Huh. Good for him!

Decades ago in my wannabe filmmaker days, I helped produce a College Emmy-winning short film with James Bonner. I started out as an associate producer but was promoted after the original producer got into a car accident. imdb.com/title/tt038936…
My high point was managing to get the half-hour short aired on Bravo, back in the days when they actually showed art house films and the like instead of reality TV dreck. Image

For everyone STILL demanding that Sen. Feinstein resign *now* (rather than at the end of her term, as she's already doing), a reminder that if she did so & Gov. Newsom appointed a replacement, it would result in exactly what you keep falsely claiming already happened. 1/
The claim is that her absence caused Biden judicial appointees to stop...except a number of them had already passed out of the Judicial committee before she left. She came back before the list was scratched off, so the committee votes should continue. 2/
Now, her absence *did* cause Dems to lose at least one *non-judicial* bill vote...but any number of Senators have been out sick/etc from time to time, such as John Fetterman & Mitch McConnell's recent absences. Shit happens, & when it's 50/50 or 51/49 that can impact votes. 3/
