Knodl's back in the lead with 87% of the vote in according to the NY Times. He's ahead by 720 votes. I have no idea what this district is like and am counting on Twitter strangers I don't know whether hope is now gone.

I believe you only need a supermajority in the senate for an impeachment, but it's up for legal debate (for now) whether judges are impeachable under Wisconsin law.

I am a random goon who lives in Milwaukee and I have come to the same conclusion from looking at the Milwaukee and Waukesha county clerk sites and comparing them to past election results. I looked up those two Milwaukee wards and they only contain industrial/commercial buildings. River Hills went roughly 700/500 Evers/Michels last year, and the places in Waukesha county are all very red.

I've read as much of the rules of removing judges in that state as I can stomach for a layperson and you need substantial cause for the occasion. It's not going to be as straight forward as it's been presented by some twitterers as getting the gang together and asserting a vote and that's that.

WOW goon here. O, specifically. We are historically the 3 conservative counties surrounding the very-liberal Milwaukee. Our state Rep is Glenn Grothman, who is ridiculously conservative (and, his mom, who is somehow still alive, lives up the street from us!). That said, looking at the results from WOW, seeing the Ozaukee numbers being that close tracks with 1) trends from the last few presidential elections that shifted us from beet-red to purple, and 2) yard signs (I know, I know...) that are just about 1:1 liberal:conservative. What is pushing the needle is, surprisingly, age: Ozaukee is "old money", with families that moved here 50 years ago and never left now leaving/dying and young families are moving in. This means the fiscal conservative "protect the nest egg we are saving up for the kids" types are being replaced with younger, more socially conscious Young-Xers/Millennials. This has sparked a lot of cultural controversy around here, including an innocuous "love is universal" mural getting painted over by a crusty old superintendent: https://www.wisn.com/article/grafton-business-to-recreate-mural-painted-by-students-covered-by-district/37296798 For the District 8 race, Knodl was always likely to win because Washington County continues to be Full of Shitheads, but Ozaukee being "slightly less shithead" is encouraging. Catching up on the thread, River Hills is in Milwaukee County and is full of ridiculous wealth. Habush Sinykin is also really rich - she is an attorney who worked for the firm of Habush, Habush, and Rottier, who advertise constantly on TV - so River Hills going for her isn't unexpected. Here in Mequon-Thiensville, all eyes were on the school board race. Last year, M-T was engulfed in a recall election (https://www.tmj4.com/news/coronavirus/four-mequon-thiensville-school-board-members-to-face-recall-election) that really divided the district (the original board members all got re-elected). This year, there were 4 candidates for 2 slots, 2 of the candidates were out-and-out Recall supporters. Very fortunately, the two "liberal" candidates won! https://www.gmtoday.com/news_graphi...3abeeb92ec.html I'm seeing that the more liberal candidates won in Cedarburg, too, so that's also good news. Give it another couple cycles and the WOW counties will just be WW. Mark my words.

The current supreme court stays in place until August 1 I believe. Knodl was always likely to win. But this very well could be his only term. Just like Ozaukee, other outer burbs of Milwaukee are moderating and non-gerrymandered maps are going to really spread some blue around Milwaukee.

Kavros posted:that's got shades of the Margarine Wars and doing things like forcing margarine to be dyed pink to protect dairy That was state law, though- unlikely to be applicable here. My understanding was the domestic McPlant launch failed (and, in theory, have been set up to fail) due to poor test market selection, and the use of mayo and standard cheese may have been a matter of initial customer expectation projections (or further sabotage).

That said I'm a little skeptical it was pressure from the dairy market alone (though I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian dairy market itself also created pressure) because the new wave plant based burgers seem to be more about the novelty of meat alternatives rather then a targeted vegan option. (As well, I imagine vegetarian is a bigger demo then vegan) so cheese off by default would be off-expectations. Unless we're talking about an earlier iteration of veggie burgers?

While retail food chains do try to standardize as much as possible, it's usually not as much the case between the US and other countries, and especially between US and EU, since the associated supply chain efficiencies are less present (and regulatory requirements are different).

The problem is the governor can appoint a replacement judge even if they do impeach Janet. What are the Republicans going to do, impeach Evers? If they do, the lieutenant governor steps in. If they impeact the LtGov, the secretary of state steps in. Are they gonna impeach the SoS too? Going full force on impeachment requires not only unanimous commitment but to also basically burn down the entire government. We'd see civil unrest.

Impossible whoppers don’t come with cheese by default, and they do come with mayo, so they’re not even vegan, and still you have to ask for cheese. I guess the all powerful cheese lobby’s influence doesn’t spread to them for some reason. It seems likely McD’s just included cheese because their market research indicated they would sell more that way, but I’d be interested in seeing more info it anybody can dig it up.

I think regular Whoppers also don't come with cheese, so that's just the item being consistent. The Impossible Whopper has been chugging along just fine for what has to be at least over a year now, if McDonalds couldn't make the McPlant work it's almost certainly because they didn't want it to. McDonalds puts cheese on its fish sandwich, the McPlant was never not getting cheese.

This is the third major study in the last year that analyzed 40 years of data and determined that any amount of alcohol is harmful to your health. There are also not health benefits to drinking a moderate amount of red wine or beer, contrary to many popular assumptions. Additionally, their findings were similar to others conducted by the WHO and the World Heart Federation that determined that even consuming 2 drinks per week has negative health impacts. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1643538978014986240 quote:Moderate Drinking Has No Health Benefits, Analysis of Decades of Research Finds

Some people are vegetarian and not vegan, or just want to eat less meat. And I wager they're a bigger market share at McDonald's than people who are 100% vegan.
