Thanks to vaccines, Measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000 because there was no continuous spread for over a year. Fast forward 25 years: anti-vaxers hosting measles parties are sending their own kids to the hospital. smh

“At a town hall in Oshkosh, Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) praised Trump, saying, ‘President Trump has done some very good things.’ The crowd responded with loud boos. Looks like the #MAGA Kool-Aid isn’t selling like it used to. #Wisconsin #TownHall”

We had a bit of an ice storm last night. School was closed. Today I made cinnamon rolls from scratch and the bean soup that I reverse-engineered from the Whitney restaurant several years ago. I did a bunch of writing business and went for a treadmill run. It's been a laid-back day.

If Elon Musk's Nazi salute at the inauguration was accidental, shouldn't he have quickly apologized for it? Why hasn't he? Perhaps because it was on purpose?
